    Very nice artwork.
    Noticed they were all comps.
    Good luck printing some of those.

  9. Simon Vansintjan on 23 Jul 2009

    Some of these are a bit too intense for my taste, but thanks for the pointer towards the competition. I don’t think I’m going to be designing any t-shirts anytime soon.

    I do like the “Don’t Go Towards the Light” shirt.

    @cynicdesign: There are some talented designer out there, and for the print i think the guy from DBH has no problem with that.

    @Simon: Why you won’t re-design t-shirts?, every kind of design is a way to improve, or did you have a bad expirence?

    @favShare: Thanks for accepted it and shared it.

    “funk’d prequel by asher2789″ is probably my favourite of these. Starting to think about it there are so much more beautiful t-shirts online today then there was a few years ago in the stores. A shame you can’t try t-shirts online though.

      @Stefan : that’s really true when I was younger tshirts were not such well design, you always found the same ugly style, there is a new app for buying on-line with Augmented Reality, but I think is in beta for the moment, but I don’t remember where I saw it.

  35. quilting on 19 Aug 2010

    Good points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t comment to blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault really , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy just reading the content .
