The addition of stickers as a product offering at redbubble.com took me completely by surprise. Basically all t-shirt designs are automatically now available as particularly nifty, shaped stickers, as well as the (relatively) new addition of hoodies.
Stick a few of these wherever you like. Cheap as at $2 AUD a piece, and 50% off for 6 or more!
I was humbled to be asked by the wonderful Cathie Tranent to answer a few questions for the Tee HQ group on Redbubble.
The Tee HQ group (as the name suggests) is where the best RB tees hang out so once you’ve had a read of the interview, why not check out the shirts there.
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.
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.
Green grass. An urban oasis. This tee started off life as a collection of photos intended to become a mosaic of urban ‘furniture’. with simply the word ‘Urban’. The type was always going to be filled with some sort of texture, but an old picture of green grass I had from England seemed to fit rather well. The original idea then went out the window and this became Urban Oasis. Funny how these things happen 🙂
Can you recognise any buildings?
Everyone loves Sin City – Las Vegas! You know that gambling’s bad but the place is just so much fun!
The global financial crisis is hitting hard everywhere – including Las Vegas, but you know the funseekers will be back as soon as they feel rich enough.
Welcome to Las Vegas, as the economy of gambling salvages Nevada.
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.

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!
