Sometimes the best effects come from simple techniques.
What I particularly like about this great design by Matthew Dunn is that not only is it just rocking minimal colours, it’s got a great feeling of leaping ‘alien-style’ from your chest.
The lines in the face and the expression are very Stan Lee, making the subject appealing straight away.
Simple subject, but the face detail and colour combinations make this a really effective and cool shirt.
If you’re a visitor or a local to Melbourne, trams are an icon part of the city scenery. From the heritage trams like this one, right up to the bumblebee ones with ‘simulated’ bells.
I wanted to draw something that struck me as ‘Melbourne’ without getting too contrived. This (being a tram) isn’t typically ‘cool’ or ‘creative’ as such. Just my vector interpretation of a Melbourne icon. Great to show the world where you’re from (or where you’ve been).
There’s also a black and white alternative if you don’t like wearing the colours.
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!
