Some Assembly Required

The design I made for Enclothe's Winter 2011 Collection just dropped! This one was fun and a lot of invention/research and thinking went into the design. I approached the design in a layout fashion and decided to focus more on filling the composition with lots of different elements in order to create interest in opposed to drawing super detailed elements.

Rescuer - Autumnal Equinox

Here's a shirt design I made for a band called Rescuer. They liked the fox design I made for Enclothe, so I created something with a somewhat similar look.

Into the Thicket

The design I did for Enclothe's summer line dropped today! It's titled Foxlight on the site. The design was a challenge for me, but I was able to get it done in a fairly short amount of time. I'm a little less intimidated when it comes to using light colors now.

update #17 (Plunder Down Under)

At around 4am, it occurred to me that I could rework one of my simple warm ups into an all out shirt design. Pretty neat.


The shirt color I like the most at the moment is hunter green (the one on the left), although olive was the color that came to mind first when I thought up of shirt colors. Actually... the olive shirt might work better... hmmm. I submitted this to Design By Humans and it's up for voting now: http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/56192


I've tried a lot of shirt colors for this particular design and from what I've tried out, light colors look terrible for this design. The design stands out WAY too much on anything light. to make it work on white, I would have to drop out the drab underbase.

good ol' white shirt.

update #16 (The Jelly King)

Finally finished!!! but don't expect it to be printed for awhile, though. I'm going to wait awhile until I send it off.


I made a bunch of colorways for it too. I'm really loving the first one (the blueish-green one). I can imagine the design working great for both girl and guy shirts. Plus the blueish color doesn't stand out too much and works well on the white shirt. I created the second colorway just to see how the design would look like on a dark colored shirt... not really a fan of this one, but the colors I can use for this certain design are nearly limitless. The third colorway was the intended colors I wanted for the design, but the wide range of colors made the design stand out too much on the white shirt, making the design look too slapped-on.

I'm glad that I'm done with this design. Now I can start on a new one! :)

"Is that for an art project or for recycling?"

"Both! :D" I replied to the lady inquiring about my 3D design project. The goal of this assignment was to demonstrate density. Our form had to be made up of objects that had a theme. The theme I chose was a recycling plant, hence all the plastic bottles... but I can actually spin a second theme if I wanted to: water/drinks my household consumes in the span of a couple weeks.


My professor wanted us to create a form that looked as if it had its own gravitational field, or a central point that is pulling everything into it. The photos don't do it justice, but the sculpture looks as if it is floating and that there's a central point sucking in all these plastic bottles and crushing and compacting them the closer they get to the center.

This project was challenging because my sculpture would fall apart in between working sessions, so it was like taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back every time I would go back to work on the sculpture. Hot gluing plastic bottles together is tougher than it looks... I actually don't know it the sculpture will hold together till monday... hopefully it does.



Now I just need to figure out how to get it to class in one piece.

EDIT: So it turns out my sculpture wasn't able to hold itself together until monday. I've been checking up on it every once in awhile, but upon closer inspection today I discovered that one of the supporting legs broke. It was tough, but I was able to fix it and even add more bottles to it.



Oh yea, my Teefury shirt arrived a acouple days ago! I was really impressed, but I have to make a note not to make my designs too detailed, or at least make the details larger. Some of the design's finer details were lost because they were just too small when it came to printing.
