Living Room Legend
If you’re going to be a real guitar hero, you need to give your fans their money’s worth. Everyone likes to see a rock star smash their guitar on stage, so it seems approriate in this case to smash up the room a bit and finish with the TV screen. BUY NOW
Deflating Defenses
This sort of speaks for itself, which is why I like it I guess, the idea of an medieval arrow fight on the walls of an inflatable fortress just seems funny to me. It’s the little things. BUY NOW
Deep Secret
After watching a little submersible explore the decks of the Titanic this idea of a light making its way over a foreign structure on the sea bed seemed like a funny one to me. They say the oceans are the last frontier, I’m hoping that future explorations will uncover landmarks like this in the depths. BUY NOW
After Hours
Ever wondered what ninjas do in their downtime? After spending their day lurking in silence I presume they probably want to make some noise when they get home. BUY NOW
Team Photo
I’ve always wanted to do a foosball design. This just came to me one day when I watching some sport. Just seems funny to me - I like the idea of the little identical players all coming together for a photo before they start spinning. 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.

The War against Work
I had always wanted to do a paper dart design, I played around with this for a while trying to find a good mix of aircraft carrier and desktop layout - I think this was probably version 3 0r 4. I like the idea of people seeing the carrier first, then seeing the desktop elements/darts when you look a bit closer, I tried it using colour but the carrier concept was lost, so it was important to stick to the grey palette.

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.

Legendary Design Failure
The trojan horse is fairly fertile ground for a design ideas. This one originally started as a trojan zebra, which over the course of an afternoon became a trojan seahorse. the soldiers were added right at the end but were required to add scale which I think was needed to more closely link it to the trojan horse

Homework Evidence
Don’t really need to say much about this design, just one of those obvious themes that I hadnt thought about before but beacuse its so obvious thats why it works I guess. It was just important that the colour palette stayed as close to xray film as possible. A suggestion was made in the comments about using luminous ink with this which I think could add to the theme.

Go Japan!
This was where it all began for me. It was around the time of the olympics in 2004 and I was watching the sprinting events, Im not really sure where the sumo idea came from but I liked the idea of the big guy running his heart out in amongst the finely tuned athletes! This was back in the day when only 4 colours were available. I subbed the design on grey but threadless printed it on red and added the extra colour to the print, which I think was a good choice!

GE Salmon
This is another one where I had an idea and a setting (Salmon eating Bear) but had to go through a couple of different versions before I got to this. Originally a huge salmon was in a pool behind the bear, but the bear was too small, then there was a waterfall infront of the bear, with pirahna like salmon jumping all over the bear, but that seemed a bit confusing. So I got to this in the end, Simplicity! - I think the colours work really well on this shirt colour.

Defend the Kingdom
This one just started with a sandcastle, I thought it was a good theme to start with but wasnt sure what to add to it. First I added the bucket which instantly strengthened the sandcastle theme. then after drawing the beach ball as a seperate element it just seemed like an obvious idea to have archers and a joust weilding knight trying to pop it. Just one of those designs that fell into place as I drew it
