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

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.
