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.
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 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!
Some people do great vector designs, some people do great illustration with more ‘paint’ techniques. Some do great ‘comic’ style.
This t-shirt by Redbubble newcomer Hammo pulls all of those together amazingly well. Not only is the idea great, the characters are just so well drawn and styled. I’d almost go as far as to say – for what it is – it’s perfect.
MC Escher is an inspiration to countless creative people, partly for the genius in the detail, but also for the mathematical somersaults your mind does when you look at one of his images.
Zomboy produces some amazing designs, and this Escher ‘Relativity’ inspired vector shirt is also a stroke of genius. The limited colours just bring out the detail amazingly well, with the shapes and angles being pixel perfect.
The added bonus with this design is that each decorator is painting with revolutionary transparent paint, so choose your shirt colour (from the 20+ colours in the Redbubble pallette) and that’s what colour they’ll be painting. You’ll be a designer too!
Remakes, sequels and prequels are out. Reboots are in.
The new Star Trek movie has a whole new cast and a whole new feel.
It’s just lucky your favourite vulcan was around to issue the three fingered salute to reboot the franchise.
Ever feel like you’re one of the crowd?
This shirt came from an idea of using the Photoshop Clone Stamp tool to make a pattern on a shirt.
It soon turned into a bit more of a social statement where the ‘dollar-chasing’ clones are walking an uphill tightrope on their quest for fulfillment, while down below are people enjoying a more simple existence.
The clone stamp may reappear in a slightly more ‘fun’ design in the future.
Global warming’s no laughing matter if you’re an arctic dweller like these guys.
You can of course just kick back and watch TV like the rest of the planet and try to forget about the whole thing 🙂
There’s a really nice style to this vector design as it conveys the (more serious) message in a really friendly and fun way.
There’s some nice details too, like the beach ball for a pillow, the killer whale popping up through an ice hole, and the very effective typography merged in with the ice.

Cue opening music…
It is a dark time for the rebel bowlers. Although their consistent scoring has weakoned the Empire’s resolve, Imperial players have achieved spares to stay in contention.
Evading the dreaded Empire Strike, a group of bowlers led by Duke Lanewalker has established a new high score on the remote neon-lit lane 16.
The evil Lord Swerver, obsessed with beating young Lanewalker, has dispatched the death star bowling ball, scattering skittles into the far reaches of space…
There are times that you’d rather not say what you’re feeling or thinking. Enter the amazing ‘Care Factor‘ gauge.
It’s specially designed to speak volumes when you speaking is probably not the best idea.
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!
