I love the colors on this shirt! Some how I had it in my mind that this was going to be a single color print, so the gradient is a lovely surprise. 5$

I really enjoy the style a lot--block printing is something that still amazes me every time I see one. This captures that particular brand very well and the shirt color is also an excellent choice, a departure from a sometimes-stock white.

About my design
For the past couple of years especially, there's been a growing trend of increasingly intricate and complex illustration that has grown to the point where the final product looks more like a poster than a t-shirt. Digital tools let artists zoom closer and closer into their compositions creating a nearly infinite amount of detail.
Another huge boom recently has been in swirling color washes, from the faux-watercolor craze to the rainbow/space motif, the t-shirt world has been awash in undulating waves of color gradients.
My idea for the new year/decade is a return to bold graphic styles, particularly to printmaking styles that pre-date screenprinting, and helped inform its beginnings as a medium.
Specifically for this design, I'm working with with a linocut process that involves carving out an image then blockprinting it. Here's a blog I created documenting the process.
Now I don't think everyone is suddenly going to start working in linocut or blockprinting, but I think that the bold graphic style associated with it will return to dominance after years of increasingly elaborate illustrations.
For the subject, I've chosen "The Most Dangerous Animal in the World", which is of course a Grizzly Bear on a Motorcycle carrying a Great White Shark with a Laser on its head.
