Prankster

There’s all sorts of theories on this and there has been some frauds uncovered in the past, but they keep appearing and seemingly for no particular reason. If there really is intelligent life out there, I’m sure they like a joke as much as the next alien. BUY NOW

Dangerous Games

This design has always been a favourite of mine. My depiction of the seconds just before the that horrible incident which saw scissors removed from all olympic running events. They always said it was dangerous, but if his shoe laces had been done up properly it would have been fine. BUY NOW

Biblical Disaster

This was a design that I had thought about for a long time, but 2 things I added just before submitting it made the difference on this one. Firstly the iceberg, it wasnt my part of my original idea but seemed so obvious once I had drawn the ark and boats, and then the unicorn, very much a last minute addition but I think it worked! Ive alway been quite impatient creating these designs and used to submit designs straight after drawing them. Since this one Ive seen the value in sitting on a design for a few days once Ive got it ready to go, I find now that theres always something that you see you want to change the next day, which is a good thing.

Gingerbread Nightmares

Gingerbread nightmares was something that I played around with for ages. I think gingerbread men are good subject matter to make fun of,. I tried incorporating rolling pins, cookie cutters and icing, and also smaller pieces of gingerbread to create a thought bubble but in the end I just kept it simple. I had a friend tell me recently that he thought the despair was because the gingerbread mans mate has disappeared? interesting if thats what people see, but my intended idea is that he’s just realised he has no legs, something that came to me when I was working with the original cookie cutter concept.

Calling Home

This still remains one of my favourites of all my designs. Not really too much to say about this one, one of those obvous ideas that works because people can instantly get whats going on, which I think is important. I like playing with positive/negative space so I used the interior and exterior light of the phone box to create its form out of the black shirt. this one was also in the day of 4 colour print restriction so to be able to use the shirt colour as part of the design definitely helped.

Swiss Army

I thought about this idea on a rainy sunday morning while I was making a coffee. (there was a swiss army knife in my kitchen) by lunchtime this was finished except for the soldier. the original design just had an open manhole but after leaving it for a day I added the little guy and sent it in. One of those ones you dont have to think too hard about thats why I think it was pretty easy to resolve the design, it’s one my favourites too.

Prehistoric Freak

This is another one of those designs that completely changed over the course of concepting it. Originally it was a purple t rex eating children, which I like but this came to me as a better solution for the parody. I like the thought of these cartoon/puppet creatures we’ve grown up with having skeletons etc. and because of the dinosaur theme linking it to a museum setting seemed like the obvious thing to do.

Potato Head is Dead

This just seemed like a simple, easily understood concept to me. I like to try to add the ingredients but let the person looking at the shirt fill in the blanks. This still remains one of my favourites. This was a Threadless 12 Month Club shirt so don’t think it will ever be up for sale again. Hope that’s not the case.
