Been toying with vectors today, trying to do a cute character for a change…

Threadless – tee design – W.I.P
How can you not love (or at least – really enjoy) English language with all those imaginative phrases that can so easily be turned into illustrations or designs? If not in a straightforward way, then at least on the inspirational level – the language is IT! This one started as my take on “Bear with me” phrase and initially consisted of only the middle graphic of little girl hugging a bear. However, as with most of my designs – things tend to take nasty spins, so there you go… Looking at this now, it’s more “Bear in mind”… I’ve submitted if to some critique on the threadless.com and will rework it before I put it through to print but I think it’s going somewhere… I sacrificed my lunch break to make it so it’s worth at least a shish kebab and fries (which is what I fancied that day)…
Bleaching Tees – lizzard style
I have just applied some more bleach to my Halloween t-shirt from the previous post and while that is drying I would like to share a short illustrated example of what me and my rubber fake dinosaur toy (no euphemisms here) did to yet another old t-shirt. This was all before I started the main t-shirt project and all I was after here was to test the power of bleach on fabric.
Here’s the Lizzard in question, all cleaned up, resting and really pissed off:
Here’s the same lizard doing his part time gig as a stencil…
Working hard – coz he revels in creative process:
After doing a couple of rounds, moving lizard from one place to another at random and bleach shooting, flipping the t-shirt and shooting some more, Lizzard was free.
When bleaching was done, I washed the t-shirt in cold water and hung to dry… pretty x-rayed, huh?
Once dried, I used yellow POSCA pen to add some yellow eyes to the X-rayed Lizzards.
and the back..
That’s all folks, do try this at home;)
Please help me get this design up!
