igo2cairo on Dec 30 '08 In Chinese folk-lore dragons were believed to be responsible for the weather, among other things, so that's the simple idea behind this design. Most of it was illustrated in pen-and-ink, watercolours and coloured pencils so it would have to be simulated process printing. This is for my dad, who lives in the countryside far off in Taiwan.
A special thanks to the wonderful Danielle Kerese (aka DaniellesGarden) for creating the cool flash presentation. Considerable image quality was lost and there was some colour-fading because of the two slides so please check out the links below for larger, high-res presentations of the design and tee placements. MAGNIFIED VIEW OF DESIGN LARGER VIEW OF PLACEMENTS ON WHITE AND SILVER TEES LARGER VIEW OF MODELS HI-RES PHOTO ON KELLY GREEN TEE Note - the red stamp in the corner is not part of the design. Traditional Chinese artists use personalized stamps to identify their work. The stamp bears my Chinese name and also my English name if you look closely. :) |

igo2cairo on Jan 07 '09 Thanks so much everyone for the incredible support :)
ristastic - the stamp does look really cool and initially I toyed with the idea of making it part of the design. Anyway, if it ever printed I could certainly include it if people didn't mind the idea of wearing a design with such a personal stamp on it! |
|
I want the stamp on it!!! That would be cool!

...ristastic - the stamp does look really cool and initially I toyed with the idea of making it part of the design. Anyway, if it ever printed I could certainly include it if people didn't mind the idea of wearing a design with such a personal stamp on it! stamp on the back of the tee? |
|
also, this would make a fantastic art print, as well
|
 |
Best on the silver tee.
|
|
Actually, is there a tee color close to that parchment? That would look amazing.
|
 |

igo2cairo on Jan 08 '09 Thanks a ton people! =D
littlem - thank you, and yeah, the stamp on the back might look cool too. Lightpost - creme? or maybe sand... Anyway, I may try to work on some additional presentations and post some links, even though I know 99.99% of the people don't check them. |
|
igo2cairo on Jan 08 '09 Thanks Rob! :) Yeah, mint makes everything look awesome.

Mmm... very nice indeed!

igo2cairo on Jan 08 '09 Ok, I tried the design on a sand and creme tee and also added the red seal. So check out the link below if you have the time and let me know what you think.
