So, I did a design inspired by the happenings at UC Davis. In the glass of the riot gear helmet, the crowd are wearing guy fawkes masks:

Pending submission is here:

So, I've been swamped with graduate work, and finally created a piece which I think works excellently as a shirt. AMAZING POWERS OF AGING:

And... Here's the design submission:

So, I recently completed over 100 illustrations for this book: Barbarians: A Handbook For Aspiring Savages, and Benjamin Chadwick, the author who co-wrote the book with real life Barbarian Grute Skullbasher, came up with a t-shirt concept. Since the book, I've been wanting to make a t-shirt design about barbarians, and think this is pretty funny.

The main concept is a barbarian in the typical pose used for fantasy posters, getting shocked by electricity.

Here's the first rough:


Let me know if you guys would:
A. Find this funny.
B. Have any suggestions for what I should add, change, for the next stage of the design.

UPDATE:
Totally took your advice, and just made a rad barbarian shirt, with a pile of pop cultural rubble beneath him! Parody of every barbarian poster! Let me know what you guys think!

Detail:

I've been absent from threadless for a while, mainly doing illustrations for a book I did for Insight Editions titled "Barbarians: A Handbook for Aspiring Savages!" which is due for release in October, but you guys should all pre-order and support, if you're into things which are AWESOME. I should have over 105 illustrations featured in this book, and it's insanely funny. Also, here's a sneak peak at the artwork on the cover:

PRE ORDER "BARBARIANS: A Handbook for Aspiring Savages" by clicking this amazon link Pre-Order Barbarians at Amazon.

I've also been really inspired to get some shirt designs going again, so expect some process blogs, and new designs to be posted soon. I love you guys at threadless, and am looking forward to subbing and participating on the blogs again really soon!

Please give all involved shit, till they remove the artwork! Thanks :)

I don't tend to like getting political on threadless with designs, but feel very moved by what appears to be the blatant suppression of the freedom of press by the United States. Hopefully many on here feel equally outraged, and would want to sport their outrage as a stylish shirt:

Okay, so for no reason whatsoever, I've been in quite the mood to mix terrible puns with detailed portraiture, playing off of people's names.

My first and second, and third are here:




And now, I give you... George WASHINGton Machine!!!



Worst... Pun... Ever... But, I think I might keep going with these designs. I'm actually pretty fond of them :)

And, I've done another pun atrocity, although this one's actually rad! Ein Stein :) Get it?



Think I'll do one a day for a bit... Mwahahaha!

Okay, here's number 6. I order for this pun to read it required 5 colors... No matter how hard I tried to minimize the color, it seemed to only read with 5 as Link from Zelda... Here's Abe LINKcoln.



And here's number 7 "Neopoléon"



And now for number 8:



I think I'll finish up on this series with a total of 10 :)
