I love it when enthusiastic people find the time to write positively about other people’s work (I try to do it myself). Cathie Tranent’s a great creative talent who’s channelling such thoughts into a new blog devoted to t-shirts and other designers.
Is that a Tenacious D reference I spot in the title?
People visualise Andy Warhol and Campbell’s Soup when they think Pop Art. This tutorial shows how to quickly create a subtle, stylised effect using some simple Photoshop filters and adjustment layer techniques.
Things to note:
If you’re looking for other techniques then check out my other tutorials.

A big thanks to everyone who voted for my Grinder Mincemaster Music Machine (try saying that with a mouthful of popcorn) in the Redbubble Demo Music Machines challenge.It’s reached the top 20 (out of almost 300 entries) to be considered by Demo stores in London. The top 5 chosen by Demo get their designs printed by and sold in their stores.
Congratulations to all the other people whose designs made it through, and my day just been well and truly made!
This beautiful design by Amanda Cass shows that a great illustration works just fine on a tee.
There’s something very sweet, yet a little bit dark about this that I just love.
Shades of Tim Burton I think.
You’ll find this character quite familiar if you look at more of Amanda’s work on Redbubble.
There you’ll find not only more interesting t-shirt designs, ranging from Darth Vader to cats – but also some really fabulous digital art.
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!
