Screen Printing

Buzz Buzz

Here’s an illustration I’ve done of a 1970′s WASP synthesizer. I owned a broken one for a short while until frustration got the better of me and I sold it to someone who would be able to fix it and play it, two things I couldn’t achieve. So therefore my career as a supercool synth [...]

Flagging it up

In October I put up a post entitled England expects that every man will do his duty. This post was about a set of t-shirts I had designed around maritime signal flags. I’ve popped some of the designs onto models for you to enjoy. (I prefer to put my designs onto models, as I think [...]

Lets make it less obvious, and more…good

In some cases a print may require a more specialized printing technique, I will explain this as well. How exciting! Right then lets [...]

So why t-shirts?

They are everywhere, and everyone seems to be a t-shirt designer. Whether a designer or not, I bet at some point in your life you have seen an image or come up with a slogan and thought, ‘that would look good on a t-shirt’. You only need to do a quick search on the Internet and [...]
