Love Invaders


I have always been a big fan of retro games. I actually collect old game systems as anyone who has been in my garage can attest. For a while I had wanted to make a retro gaming t-shirt. I have seen some great examples online so I started brainstorming ideas of my own.

Love Invaders is what I came up with. I thought that maybe there were some Space Invaders that might not be interested in total destruction. What if some of them wanted to find love and have kids? This t-shirt shows the result of such love. Hope you like it. Comments are appreciated.

Tricked Out Model T


This is a t-shirt design I came up with a little while back. It was one of those ideas where I just started thinking about whatever came to mind and hoping something good passed through. Initially, it was just going to be the flames but I figured if someone was tricking out a Model T they would definitely add some spinners and fuzzy dice. I am really pleased with how this turned out. This was the idea that started me back on vector artwork. I hadn't done anything since college and this really needed clean lines so I jumped back into it. Let me know what you think.

Charlie Chaplin


This is one of my favorite pieces.  He is part of a series I did that portray famous people as robots.  I have always loved Charlie Chaplin movies so this was a logical choice for me.  As for the whole robot thing (if you look at my other work there are more than a few robots) I just think they are fun.  My favorite part of this one is his tie.  It took me a while and I like the detail.  Any comments are appreciated.

This piece was done entirely on a computer.  It was done with a natural media program called ArtRage from Ambient Design.

Trooper J


I am not entirely sure where this idea came from.  I just remember thinking that it would be funny to see.  I imagined what a stormtrooper might do on his off time, what interests he might have. Obviously some are into music so it seemed natural that one might be a DJ. 

This one took a while because I made it in a vector program.  I learned a lot doing it and I hope it turned out ok.
