ROA Graphic artist

This graphic artist illustrates in a similar style to me. However i don't understand the context of his work. Perhaps he's trying to show what effects the urban environment has on nature? or it's just a bit of creative graffiti. His use of surface shape and texture to direct the illustration is clever, particularly the top image.

Julian Gallash - Ballpoint illustration

I find these illustrations very striking, the ballpoint pen provides an interesting tone of colour along with a high attention to detail. I also like the added splash of bold, vivid colours and repetitive pattern.

Garry Milne

Spoke to Ollie this morning, after viewing some of the stuff on my blog he recommended I look at the work of Garry Milne.

His imagery is very similar to the hand drawn prints I've been looking at, however they are produced using vectors. In this case they have been applied to a calendar however I think they could also make an interesting t-shirt print.

Stylized animal heads

These animal heads are great. Perfectly symmetrical with a limited colour pallet they could easily make modern t-shirt prints. I think, the use of gradients and triangular shapes make them appear to form the shape of a diamond or jewel, particularly the gorilla.

Sam Thomas

I have managed to find some copies of the original drawings used on the All Saint's t-shirts. Sam has drawn the surreal subject matter beautifully which appear to also convert well to print. I was surprised to see the same prints applied to a large range of different products across the shop. (e.g The football headed skull print works well on a mans top, though I'm not sure its appropriate for 2 year old's top).







I love this bottom print, even though its made of sheep skulls and birds, I think the combination of monochrome, colour and symmetrical layout create an unusual striking print pattern.

Interesting drawing style

I love these pen drawings! At first i thought they were vectors because of the solid blocks of black and white. But on closer inspection you'll see carefully hand drawn patterned detail to create textured hair and clothing fabric. Again I think these sorts of images can be applied to print to make a modern style t-shirt design. Perhaps I could adopt a similar drawing style to apply to my print designs.

Animal prints

These illustrations demonstrate how I could combined hand draw and vector image by using layered print. A bold vectorized geometric pattern in the background, adds colour and depth. The monochrome, hand drawn animals printed on top are positioned to interact with the below image. I can see these images working well as modern t-shirt print designs.

Graphic T-Shirts

To start the printed tee's brief I needed to familiarize myself with All Saints clothing. So I have visited their store and viewed their website. Here are a few examples of the types of illustration they currently use to print onto their clothing. I like the "grunge", hand crafted quality and intend to continue this style into my images.
