T shirt time!

I love t-shirts!  I've always wanted to try putting designs on t-shirts and I have taken a few steps towards that path.  I want to see how the fabric inks hold up to being washed, but I love the process of drawing on a shirt or carving out patterns out of blocks.  I plan on posting the process from start to finish after a few more experiments.

I used sharpies fabric markers for the intricate geometric t-shirt and eye t-shirt.  The large fall color prints were made by carving out rubber blocks.

I had an idea to make fun little characters for Halloween and I'll be delving in and posting results shortly.

Here's what I have so far.

Available at society6 and etsy.

The candy corn character stood out to me after years of going to halloween parties and seeing this candy left behind.  I was imagining this scene as I drew up the design.

I read sections of this book to get a quick primer on kawaii and other aspects of Japanese design.
