Ninjutsu! Art 21: walk on water! - T-Shirt by Japu
When the colour of a shirt meets the concept of the design, and it works this well you have to just sit back and look at it. This fantastic idea, concept and style by Japu leads you in with the boots, treading oh so lightly on the water’s surface. You then realise that this is someone on a mission, and they’re looking at ‘you’.
It’s cool and cute at the same time (like so many of Japu’s designs). Love it!
Somewhere over the rainbow, someone's getting wet by Steve Harvey
It took a moment to work out what this was.
I think if I were standing under the end of a rainbow I’d be this this freaked out too. Not only would you be a bit peeved that there’s no pot of gold, but you’ve also ruined your best outfit. Indigo’s a real pain to get out!
A great imaginitive design by Steve Harvey.
Saucy Jack - T-Shirt by simon Sherry
Saucy Jack – you’re a naughty one…
David St Hubbins and Derek Smalls from Spinal Tap never managed to get the musical version of Jack the Ripper’s life off the ground, so it was left to Simon Sherry to concoct a mashed up super-vector creation of the lead character.
Simon’s a master at ‘blades’ and Jack’s got plenty. He is a victorian gentleman of course so the cup of tea and handlebar moustache is very much the go.
Melbourne Heritage Tram T-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.
Grinder Mincemaster Music Machine
I like a challenge, and this challenge is all about music machines (as the excellent ‘synthetic rose‘). This is a pretty open brief of course and so here’s my interpretation.
It’s a mincer, a grinder, a fender, a mixer – well all sorts of things.
It ‘does’ go to 11 of course.
Synthetic Rose by wtiller
I’m wasn’t quite sure what I like about this design when I first saw it.
I couldn’t work out what it was at first, but then realised it’s certainly ‘organic’ (geddit), and I love the style and colours.
It’s a music machine – for a challenge on Redbubble with the same name.
It’s a cool vector shirt, with some great detail and nice shapes.
It’ll get a vote from me.
Circuit by Heavyhand
Sometimes things aren’t quite what they seem. This ‘circuit’ design by heavyhand appears to be something like the underside of a hard drive, or certainly something quite ‘electrical’.
Have a closer look and you’ll just see some nice shapes and colours put together really well.
Always nice to see a smiley face on a t-shirt too. What else can you find?
Fatal Attraction - T-Shirt by Mikoto
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.
Newtopia - T-Shirt
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?
City Monster - B Movie - T-Shirt
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!
