igo2cairo on Jan 07 '10 New trend - instead of jokes, high-concept designs and fantasy themes artists will become more focused on mundane, slice-of-life vignettes of every-day events that have no obvious concept but speak to the viewer in a subtle and meaningful way.
Some examples: a person getting a haircut, a lonely building in a small town, street-lights turning colour at a deserted intersection, pigeons being fed bread crumbs in a park, and in this case an old man taking a much-needed break from a hard days work in a tobacco field. The underlying philosophy of this new trend? That beauty and wonder can be found everywhere, even in events seemingly ordinary. Are you surprised that this makes a cool tee shirt? I'm not. Simulated process on simple, basic sand. Hi-res links: Hi-res view of design Hi-res view of sand tee Hi-res view of model |

Nice Idea for 2k10, for that alone a 5! I like your style too, which rounds it up to a 5$! I also found it interesting, that he wasn't taking a smoke break!
|
|
igo2cairo on Jan 10 '10 Thanks people!
Mountain Gnome - now that you mention it, I originally had the character smoking a cigarette. However I didn't want people to think I was encouraging cigarette smoking so decided it was best to leave it out. Also I changed the character to a wise-looking old man who has obviously reached this age by leading a healthy life. :) Don't know why anyone would assume I support smoking just because I depict it in an illustration but this has happened in the past. Here's the preliminary sketch with man smoking if you wanted to check it out. |
|
ginetteginette on Jan 10 '10 aw about the smokes and how people would have likely perceived it. i bet had you drawn in a little pipe most people would have been cool with that. pipes are somehow nicer.
|
|
igotocairo, it was just that i thought it interesting that a man working in a tobacco field would not be smoking!
I certainly do understand your reluctance to include a smoking cigarette in your design, as I am sure that it would possibly offend some... (not me though). A great tee, Good luck! |
|
igo2cairo on Jan 10 '10 gg - yeah, a little pipe would have been cool, I should have done that! Maybe I'll try to add one.
It's true that they are perceived as being more benign even though they can cause mouth cancer etc. I guess it's because people that smoke pipes usually only do it as an occasional thing, like cigar-smoking (which I sometimes indulge in) and it can be more of a hobby instead of just an addiction. MG - thanks dude! :) |

igo2cairo on Jan 10 '10 OK, I'm lame. I just realized none of my hi-res links to my Flickr are working because I had the settings on private. My apologies and here are the new links if anyone cares to check them out:

is that coffee or tobacco?

|
igo2cairo on Jan 10 '10 There might possibly be a couple of coffee plants in there, but it is mainly a tobacco crop.

the boy fitz hammond on Jan 12 '10 Very cool idea and style.
|
 |
Cool. It reminds me of the old bannana republic tees but with more of a story book look.
|
 |
Kookaberry on Jan 13 '10 This is seriously one of my favorite sketches of yours except I like the original guy's head better.
|
|
igo2cairo on Jan 14 '10 Thanks everyone!
Amy - I might consider re-subbing the original actually because I like the way it looks without any colour and the line-work comes through more. |
 |
xiaobaosg on Jan 15 '10 amazing!

instead of jokes, high-concept designs and fantasy themes Thanks for trying to put me out of a job, hehe. I like those things, but i like this too. There's plenty of room for both. Looks like your job is pretty secure, Evan. ;) Also, I agree, there's room for both and I love a good, clever concept as much as the next person. |

myteemo on Jan 15 '10 This deserved higher. :
