Acute Invasion

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:00:25 -0600

With this design, I had noticed a ton a cutesy art becoming more and more mainstream on many shirt sites, threadless included.
I figured I would throw my hat into the cutesy ring, and created these imaginary characters doing imaginary things.
Turns out it worked, and they printed these on kids shirts even, which I think turned out the best. I bought a bunch of kids shirts for all of my friends' kids.
This design took the least amount of work, probably going from nothing to complete in about 2 or 3 hours, but that just shows that its all a matter of opinion in the end, and not necessarily how hard a design is to create.

1975

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:56:05 -0600

The idea for this design was during the 'threadless loves threadless' design competition.
The guidelines were to make a design different from what is normally thought of, that would push the limits of shirt design.
I came up with the pattern, based on old 70's floral pattern from old photo albums (hence the title, 1975) and then, integrated a hidden girls profile into the layout to add an extra bit of spice into the design.
I did not win that contest with this design, but luckily, it was later printed as a normal threadless print, then reprinted on another color. I think they are both attractive color schemes.

Mama's Boy

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:49:19 -0600

This was my select design here at threadless, which enabled the design to have 8 colors, and foil and /or specialty printing inks.
I knew I wanted to take advantage of the colors, the foil and also to make a cool design that I would like to wear, but not necessarily one that the voters would have voted to win.
I chose the theme of satan's mother, because a mother loves her kid no matter what i suppose.
This is my favorite of all my threadless designs.

Unicorns Eat Children

This design is not as much a funny design as it is a cold hard fact.
Keep those kids away from unicorns. they're bitey.
