The Story Behind My First Print

about How To Celebrate Your First Touchdown

To start, big thanks to everyone who helped me develop this design and threadless for deciding to print it. Special thanks, as well, to Olly for layout advice and Phil for the amazing presentation!

I thought it would be fun to post a few pictures of the process I took to develop the design, from the initial crappy journal sketch of the idea I drew at a bar to the final design, itself:

Thanks again, everyone!
