✏️Here are some preliminary sketches for the design “Taking Sides”, my latest t-shirt printed by @threadless (Swipe/click/scroll to see the the finished design). The idea behind this design is really very simple: If I order fries, that means I want fries. If I don’t order fries, that also means I want fries. T-shirts & other products featuring this design are available here.

#ReadingGoals & calendar page for April 2022 Have you ever tried uni (sea urchin) sushi? It’s unique flavor arc begins with a strong ocean smell, followed by sweet/buttery/briny notes, and finishes with not being able to shut up about it for the rest of your life. The 2023 edition of my wall calendar is pre-ordering NOW, & it’s not too late to get the 2022 edition! Bookmark by @paleorex - you simply must see these jaw-droppingly realistic dinosaur illustrations.

A woodland photo of a pair of my @witukaonline socks. If you ever hear about me going into the woods, assume I’m rewatching Meryl Streep in the 2014 film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name.

Swipe/click/scroll to see the design process for “Once More with Healing” (my latest t-shirt printed by @threadless, and 3rd Prize winner of their Curse Words Design Challenge), because nobody keeps asking me how I create my work: 1.) I’m renowned for the precision and finesse of my thumbnail sketches. Actually, you’d be surprised how helpful they are and how much I refer back to them. 2.) Tracing paper is indispensable as I work my way though multiple attempts to simplify complex shapes while retaining their character. 3.) The more complete my preliminary drawing is, the less painful the final execution will be. (my reference candle was made by @mithrascandle) 4.) I find things less overwhelming when I batch my tasks, such as drawing all my shapes before even thinking about color. 5.) Crystal is an unusually challenging surface to represent, so I lean on plenty of reference and a methodical approach. 6.) Since I don’t use outlines, my colors need to be carefully chosen to create the right contrasts. 7.) All my shapes are similarly simple, but I can simulate light on both shiny and matte surfaces by adjusting the light/dark values in adjacent shapes. I hope this has gone some way towards demystifying a process that nobody has ever mentioned finding particularly mysterious. T-shirts & other products featuring this design are available here.
