The Sudden Realization That We’ve Forgotten The Main Ingredient


Here is yet another T-shirt Design for Threadless. This one uses some of my hand drawn illustration techniques along with some photoshop editing. I went ahead and did another t-shirt mock up for this one. There’s also Desktop Wallpapers available at http://www.laserboltland.com.

An Extremely Shockingly And Distressingly Bad And  - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

Here’s a t-shirt design I did for Threadless. This design was created in Adobe Illustrator and the mock up was created using Adobe Photoshop. I’m currently using cs3 until someone decides they would like to pay for the newest version for me. Thanks in advance. You’re very kind.

35 Flavours

Here’s a T-shirt design that’s on critique over at Threadless.com. It’s a hand drawn illustration that I drew on the #8 Halsted bus in Chicago.  The sketch was then brought into Adobe Photoshop and coloured all sorts of different colours. It’s the type of illustration that makes me want to spell color like this: colour. You know what I mean.

Here it is shown on a pastacio coloured T-shirt. Mmmmm, Pistacio. Go vote for it because I want to wear it. Thanks, you’re the best.

35flavoursHere’s the original sketch done with my very own hands and brain with a bic pen on some sketchbook paper.  Drawing on the bus is a fun challenge because it often causes squiggles in your lines. Neat.

I also love the discolouration of the paper in this picture. It’s mostly from a bad scanner. If anyone feels like buying me a new one, please feel free: http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/2NIBFJOYI7EGE.

A Terrific Ride Where Almost Everyone is Feeling Uneasy

Here’s another yet another T-shirt I’ve just finished for the people over at Randr Tees. It’s called “A Terrific Ride Where Almost Everyone is Feeling Uneasy.” It’s filled with fun and happiness and despair and clouds. All the things that make up a really good T-shirt.

It was created using Adobe Illustrator and my brain and was also used on a flyer for an uptownboogiedown extravaganza held at the East Village in London, England on May 15th 2009.

I’ve included a mock up of what it would look like if printed on a nice clean grey T-shirt as well as the original image in the  Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). There’s also wallpapers available at laserboltland.com. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

How Weather is Born OR The Current State of Ying VS Yang in the World

This is a T-Shirt design I did for Randr Tees. It’s called: “How Weather is Born OR The Current State of Ying VS Yang in the World.” I plan on making more T-Shirt designs in the coming weeks when I have some spare time.

This particular design was created using Adobe Illustrator and the power of my mind. I used my mind to control the computer which was controlling the graphics programme. Mind (pronounced /ˈmaɪnd/) refers to the aspects of intellect and consciousness manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination, including all of the brain’s conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. “Mind” is often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason. Subjectively, mind manifests itself as a stream of consciousness.

Here’s a mock up I did using the example from Go Media’s Apparel Pack. Look forward to purchasing the whole set once I get more T-shirts under my belt and seeing how their files work with all the layers and masks they got on those things.
