My Bootleg T-shirts

Sometimes I make hand-drawn bootleg band t-shirts for my friends.

This is a draft and an evergreen note, so I'll start with just a few pictures, plus some short descriptions. Stay tuned for a full post and a tutorial! (How I Make My Bootleg T-shirts)

Setup: acrylic markers, foil and iPad in guided access mode.


Note that the shirt says King Gizzard and the Gizzard Gizzard. Checkmate copyright lawyers.

The t-shirt was so good, my dog woke up.

Update

I based them on some of my older drawings from potato.horse:

  1. Three-pointer
  2. Good Cat
  3. Perfect Cat

TIL: White acrylic paint on black fabric seems to handle washing much worse than dark/colour on white.

TIL: The child-like / the Cure album wannabe cover style was quite hard to transfer from my iPad to fabric. It looks much better after the first wash.

a giant foot-shaped snail with a house on its back. the house is still in construction, with a big crane towering above it The image is a stylized black-and-white illustration. In the lower left corner, there is a small, cozy-looking house with smoke rising from its chimney. The smoke, however, does not dissipate into the air but instead forms a dark, looming cloud. Within the cloud, the silhouette of a large, menacing face is visible, with its eyes and nose peeking through the darkness. The creature, perhaps a cat, appears to be watching over the house ominously, creating a sense of foreboding or unease.
