Drop Bears, Not Bombs
A little play on the phrase “Drop Beats, Not Bombs” used by many DJ’s across the UK who choose to mix popular tunes. I think the bears are quite cute.
Perfect Crime
One for the “Back to the Future” fans out there – And one for those who dislike speed cameras. Either way, being able to disappear once you hit 88mph is pretty darn cool.
Leader of the Gang
Leader of the Gang – design by beargarms I watched Topcat a lot as a child, and always loved the idea of stray cats plotting mischief in their own alleyway. This design is a tribute to the cartoon I spent many an hour watching. Thanks Hanna-Barbera!
Top Hat
Finally the battle of all battles commences between two hats to decide who really is the Top Hat! Version one of a concept that works quite well (I think).
Spring Chicken
A idea to celebrate the season of Spring, with an added twist of “cuteness” through the format of baby chicks. Pretty self explanatory really – Would work great on a green t-shirt.
Zord Safari
A design that I did last year, but thought it was worthy of being posted on my blog. A tribute to a cartoon I was fairly obsessed with growing up – Power Rangers. I loved the Zords – Trying to depict them in “true” form with this one. Will definately come back to it someday....
Battle of the Hoods
Playing on the idea of two well known “hooded” characters having a disagreement. In all honestly, the design is 90% finished as I didn’t know where to place the characters – Went with a forest! Could do with more texturing too. Just give her the basket Robin!
Eye of the Storm
This idea had been sitting in my sketchbook for ages, so I decided to create a digital representation using freehand lineart. As a concept I think it works, but it still requires a little something more to make it “pop”. I wanted to post my current progress so all feedback is welcomed.
What a Ledge!
Playing with the popular British phrase “What a Legend” – Pretty self explanatory really. Probably wouldn’t work very well in the U.S market!
Gaming Truths
Playing a little on today’s trends of people staying inside playing video games, rather than going outside and enjoying nature! The phrase “Go Outside” would be printed using standard ink, whilst the other text would be printed in UV ink. The UV will be difficult to read indoors encouraging you to do what the t-shirt...
Fall
One of my favourite seasons for reasons that I need not elaborate on – Crispy leaves and all that. A simple idea with an obvious “haha” moment – at least I hope so. Would work well with any khaki coloured garment or can be printed to canvas.
Armed to the Teeth
Nobody likes the dentist – And if you’re actually a dentist, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Always had this idea in my sketchbook but could never decide how to execute it. Ended up doing the entire canvas using vectors and line-art with simple blocks of colour. Would work well on a...
