T-Shirts, T-Shirts, T-Shirts!!!

Ok so I've gone a little t-shirt design mad recently! In the process of working with Arck (remember those lovely people-http://www.arckclothing.com/ ) , which is still very on btw, I'm moving onto the final 4 images I think, so be prepared for even simpler Murray-esque drawings!!! (I know, scary!) But, moving on from my tangent, in the process of working with these designs I've ended up submitting past designs or unused designs to other t-shirt venues, I mean hey? why not!? And of course one of them is the infamous threadless, where I have to ask you lovely people to vote for my designs!! Will it work out, haha probably not, but meh why not! Let's give it a go, so below are the 4 links to my t-shirt designs! :)

Thanks!

The Thought Process Map!




Finished image for Adam Hayes Map Project- The piece represents a chaotic game board like map, which defines my thought process, a mental and odd route to which directions can lead to all different answers and routes, before eventually finding my way to an idea! And the day I dont't I'll most likely be dead :)

Work In Progress!



Half way through a piece I'm submitting to Adam Hayes Map project, the musical influence mind map has been put on hold as it's very time consuming, so decided to try my hand at something more...me! As per usual with the nature of these kind of drawings I do, there is no pre planning or sketching, hence why I decided to show the image half way through as it could radically change at any point today! A finalised image should hopefully be up some stupid time tonight! I'm not usually a process kinda guy, so shall be interesting to chronicle this one to pin point my biggest decisions I make!

T-Shirt Designs: The Art of Simplification!

Hello there! Ok so I'm currently doing designs for Arck clothing, an awesome limited and personal t-shirt company! Daisy (whitewolf) already has her own personal limited edition of 4 designs with them, which are amazing (Check them out here: http://www.arckclothing.com/index.php?infoBox=1&cPath=356 ) and also they're of really high quality, so when I was asked to get involved it didn't take much hesitation before I said yes!

Haha but as many of you know I struggle with simplification, so here is the first design I did-



Don't get me wrong, I believe I shall use this design at some point, I quite like my 3 colour palette, but the problem is I forgot they only do one block colour on their t-shirts, d'oh!! So then I had these two:




Which are on the right tracks....BUT, haha are still to complicated in their design, so they're now going to be simplified down to just 2-3 characters each!! It's like a filtering process, however I don't intend to discard these initial designs, maybe they could be t-shirt designs of my own!! So more to come this week from this, expect 4 nice simple designs with the themes of: robots/bears/sweets/ocean ....and yes I know they don't relate!
