Endless Chase part 2

This new design is inspired upon the work of Esher,  with classic cartoon and movie villains chasing the good guys.  

As usual it started with a pencil drawing traced with a fineliner and brushpen. The lineart is scanned to be finished digital, this method gives the design a unique appearance. The halftone dots are used for the retro effect and it also beneficial for a better print on the shirt πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘. See the close up for some details.

The left side of the triangle is the same color just with a different color dots. Even this close it's difficult to see. Here you can also see the cloud effect.  

For inside the triangle I used dots with different sizes to get a shading effect and thrown in some splatters. Link to design Endless Chase part 2

For this design I tried something new. I applied a sepia filter on the main color layer to create a more subtle design.  The halftone dots are the same color. 

I really liked this toned down subtle colors,  so I also started on some older designs with a more subtle color.  For me personally I think it's easier to combine a shirt with softer colors with the rest of my wardrobe, hopefully more people agree on this.  Link to the design with softer colors

So next posts probably some existing designs with new softer sepia colors πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘. 

Hope you like it, as always feel free to leave a comment or suggestion.  

Have a nice day.

Return home

New design is inspired upon the lyrics of a Dutch song that is about enjoying and appreciating life. The six different images are: travel to a far country,  enjoy wine, think about life, laugh out loud, dive into the deep and finally return home. For this design I went for a aquarel effect,  hope you like it as much as I do. 


Here are some work in progress images:

By the way the song title is "kom terug" and is performed by the artist "spinvis", there is also an English version but it has different story / lyrics "beautiful to me". 

As always feel free to leave a comment or suggestion 😊.

Until next time.

Customized Vintage van

This design is inspired upon the customized vans from the 60's and 70's. The era when customising was easy and a lot of weird and wonderful custom cars and vans where built.  The design is available in my premium shops in 4 different versions. There is a red, a blue, a transparent and a transparent just the van version.  

As usually the design is drawn by hand and finished digital.  And halftones are used to get that retro comic book look.  

I hope you'll like it and as always feel free to leave a suggestion or comment.  

Have a great day and until next time.

The classic deux chevaux charleston

I really liked the drawing of the classic Deux Chevaux but got a bit bored by the colours that I used so I thought it would be a good idea to give it fresh two tone charleston colour scheme.  

As usually I used halftones for shading and to give it a little bit of that vintage comic vibe. It's also available without text and on many products in my Premium shops like shirts , long sleeve shirt, mugs, pillows, phone cases, etcetera.  

Have a great day and feel free to leave a suggestion or comment in this blog or on my Instagram account.
