Smitten Kitten and I got married yesterday in California.
We met through Threadless so thanks a million to the community, the % blowwwg peoples and of course the whole team behind Threadless. Do we win a prize?
I did the character design for their Chillzone drinks and they have released them. YAY! I believe they have 900 outlets across the east of America.
![]() ![]() Apparently kids are stealing the magnets of the characters cos they like them so much. hahaha pesky kids! about Thou Shalt Not Steal
Just wanted to say a little bit about this tee.As many of you know I have been striving for a second print over here at threadless. It's been important to me because I almost felt like the first one was a fluke. This tee means a hell of a lot to me. The idea hit me as I flew over the Atlantic ocean on route to LAX. When I put pen to paper I decided to draw it exactly how I wanted it, tried not to consider an audience at all. I intended it to be dark, messy and be covered in inperfections. It's one of the first designs I have created to actually resemble the picture I had in my head. I am over the moon that it scored well enough to print and I thank the community for that. I also have massive thanks to the whole threadless team. (I should sue you for me hurting myself when I fell off my chair after receiving the congratulations email, I kid) Thanks EVERYONE and can someone at threadless thank Sila for modelling my tee, so cool, lol. ![]() ok so I like to create narratives around my drawings and I am gonna tell you about the beasts: A - A timid beast without a brain who has a secret crush on B but B always has her back turned to him. B - A pregnant beast to Q who secretly lusts for C but C is too stupid to notice. C - A worm like beast with no sense. D - Like an upturned beetle D is constantly trying to get around onto his little stumpy legs. E - E used to be much more ordinary looking but he is so annoyed with F he has slowly turned into an ugly twisted E plotting to destroy F. F - F never shuts up and infuriates E. He wears a hat to show his self importance. G - G is twisted with jealousy over half of H who he knows he will never have. H - H is really one beast split by his narcissistic ways, totally in love with himself. I - I is a space cadet who has never been to space but longs to feel and explore everything. J - J dreams of eating people and other beasts but has no legs or arms to get around and has inevitably gone mad. K - K sees no fear and is rather dim. He once ate a bag of nails mistaking them for chips. L - L is a soft and gentle fluffy beast who's head is in the clowds. She reaches for the sky but is constantly legless. M - M is the king of the beasts but is unhappy because he spends the majority of his exsistance upside down. N - N are 3 cheeky beast constantly falling over eachother and generally being a pain in the bum to everyone. O - O is terrifying and will eat your babies. P - P is brother to C and is way flashier and fancy. a better dancer and has no need for a hat. Q - Q is a confused beast. He can't work out why he has a huge grey tooth. R - R is a dreamer, he gazes into the sky dreaming of having arms. S - S is a sexy ghost beast who will sneek up on you but will cause you no harm. T - T is a beast who has been to space but now dreams of another voyage to the human world. He too wants to eat your children. U - The twin zombie beasts, always pulling in different directions and never quite making it close enought to bite their victims. V - V looks like a rabbit but will tear you apart with her pinky. W - W is a beast made from home appliances and likes nothing more than a walk on the beach. However, the salt reeks havoc with his metally beast bits. X - X just does star jumps. bloody idiot. Y - Y is convinced his arms are trying to kill him and he is probably right. Z - Z is a naughty bastard. I don't think you need anymore information on him. ![]() Yikes. i hope you like. so who is your favourite?
This was originally a project for a gallery show but it fell through. I will try and complete it anyway. Take a look at my FLICKR for larger versions or my painting blog& shop:
