I love how things just ‘hang around’ on the web.
This isn’t a new design, but one I stumbled across this week, because people I watch had come across it.
Pretty simple stuff – put a match near a bomb and bad things happen!
I think the ‘thick black outline’ works really well here and the skull and crossbones just add the finishing touch.
A cool shirt.
Sometimes it’s nice to try something a little different.
This was inspired by an impromtu mini-challenge on Redbubble, where the winner gets their shirt bought by the judge.
This is a happy shirt, even though it might seem to be a little bit lonely.
The guy’s version would probably have to have real chains and be shaped like an electric drill or a barbecue or something equally ‘male’.
A nice diversion from vectors in any case…
Follow the yellow brick road to Newtopia.
This was inspired by a challenge on Redbubble, and some info I’d seen recently on reto futurism.
I decided to take a few different influences and mix it up.
The Art Deco buildings came from shapes in plasterwork in a building lobby, and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis probably binds it all together.
The Jetsons play their own part in the towers (or is it Thunderbirds?), and the dream of a better tomorrow leads Dorothy and her friends up the yellow brick road to Newtopia.
Can anyone spot any other influences that may have been subconcious?

This one’s absolute gold for any England football fan who remembers the 1986 World Cup Quarter Final against Argentina.
You don’t even have to remember when – you just remember ‘the hand of god‘. The classic quote by Diego Maradona following his (less than) legal goal to put the first nail in the coffin of England’s final hopes.
The fact that Maradona then scored the goal of the century 4 minutes later is completely irrelevant!
This shirt by David Cumming nicely shows the hand ball a little more clearly than the TV footage too!
A great take on the Nike Air Jordan campaign of the same era.
David’s a die hard Falkirk fan, so football runs through his veins and his shirts. Check them out on Redbubble.
Sometimes simple is best. This shirt design by SeanSeen on Redbubble is a great example.
With all the vectors and digital processing you see on most shirts, it’s nice to see a nice, simple drawing with a really friendly style.
Take a look through the rest of his shirts, and you’ll see the patterns emerge like the yellow filled-in text, and the cute line drawings with minimal colour. These doodles really work well on shirts.
Unsurprisingly there’s a lot of Redbubble artists featured in this great list of Star Wars T-Shirts on HideYourArms – even though they clearly missed one 🙂
It’s great to see such a big representation from the Redbubble community in the list, and a lot of artists are featured a number of times.
So, here’s a big shout to the mighty Redbubble designers below that featured in the list (forgive me if I missed any):
RubyRed | James Lillis | Reece Ward : biased as I happen to own an R2 manual shirt 🙂 | ZAAAAP | wmartins | Geek Chic | popmash | Warren Hart | Cathie Tranent | Lordy99 | Monstar | superiorgraphix | BornOfTheSun | Benj | quigonjim | Mark Wilson | Apasun | Mundy Hacket | Jemma Kamelski | Kerry Ward | Mungo
If they’re tagged right then you’ll find all of Redbubble’s Star Wars t-shirts here…
Add any more you reckon were missed in the comments…
This green visitor’s from out of town. He’s hungry.
Monster movies used to be all about suspense and hysteria as a large, unrealistic clay model decended upon a city street. Everything’s computer generated now, and so this is a small homage to the good old days of Japanese monster movies, created for a Redbubble challenge using a limited colour palette (greyscale and one other colour).
The more observant may notice this is actually an American-style city street, but this is the movies!
I’m a creative geek living in Melbourne, Australia who writes software by day, and creates T-shirts and other designs by night. This is all of course when time and motivation allows.
It’s probably accurate to say I dabble in things other than software to keep my creative side happy. I was always a keen musician (guitar, drums and keyboards) but am now happy to dream of the ‘greatness’ I never achieved. I may surprise myself yet… I might also get round to finishing my list of gig attendances one day.
I like to take pictures of things that interest me, and am becoming and increasingly keen photographer.
I occasionally write technical articles, produce the odd bit of freeware, and record technical thoughts on my Codebureau blog. Anything left may end up on this blog – but that’s rapidly turning into my world of T-Shirts!
If you’re interested in hiring me for contract development work in the Melbourne, Australia area then take a look at my skills timeline to see if I might be able to fit your needs, then contact me right here.
