This one’s for the contest thingy (mentioned here)
Not a whole lot to say about it, except that I think this is the first time I’ve tried blending these two styles (the streetsy cartoon feel + swirly vector stuff), so that was fun.
I hope this contest is still on...

First design of the new year! It’s not really a style I’m into wearing personally, but I think it’s pretty cool looking nonetheless.

yeah everyone gets mad when people use the AA dude as their template. it’s kind of played out i guess?
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
Oh right. Lol. I browsed for another mock up for that color tee but couldn’t find one. And I was way too lazy to edit it directly...

Photoshop a bigger mustache on him and no one will ever know. Problem solved.

At 12 between dozing and dreams
She saw the most fantastic things
A slumber adorned
With razor-edged thorns
That erupted in bloom at the seams
At 3 between dreaming and rest
Her thoughts brought a bright-colored pest
It nibbled just at
Where the thornbush had sat
And summoned its friends from the nest
At 6 between resting and dawn
The odd vermins' menace was gone
They filled up balloons
And watched the buds bloom
From their spot by the oak in the lawn
A 9 between dawning and rise
She wiped out the salt from her eyes
She tried to start thoughts
On the things she forgot
But nothing remained in her mind

the story adds even more to it. hope it gets printed, even with mustache guy and his stupid purple pants.
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
Yeah actually I’m really tempted to just go ahead and print it myself. It’d go along well with my next series of tees...

awesome design, love the colors and layout. great job, are you going to print this?
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
Yeah I’d like to. And dude, every time I see your avatar it freaks me out a little because I have a friend that looks exactly like you. It’s uncanny.

Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
I see...
xbrianx said about 1 year ago
Wow, I love it. I love the design and I think the colors go well. I’d like to get it on that color shirt.
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
Jimmy’s printing them as we speak...!
xbrianx said about 1 year ago
Sweet!
Oh, and can you tell me how you did it? Was it all done in Illy, PS, or hand drawn?
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
None. I design purely in Flash MX. I know it sound ridiculous, but I work much faster than in AI. Once I separate colors I save to AI and then send it off to the printers.
xbrianx said about 1 year ago
Whoa, I’ve never heard of it done that way haha. Sweet.
collisiontheory said about 1 year ago
Damn I can see how you could design in MX. Those drawing tools are quite easier to control. My old officemate used to design in MX too instead of Illy so you’re the 2nd guy I know who does this lol
Holy shit! Jimmy’s printing this already?
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
No way! That’s the only other person I’ve ever heard of doing this! Now I don’t feel like such a retard! Thing is, I have AI and I use it occasionally do add finishing touches, but 98% of my stuff is FMX.
Dilly Cakes said about 1 year ago
Yeah dude, don’t feel retarded for using FMX. Me and my buddy Cole use it all the time for our shit. The line quality is killer, and the Waacom pen sensitivity works great in it!
Linty Fresh said about 1 year ago
Really? Good stuff. I STILL don’t have a wacom but it’s my next purchase for sure.
