Desktop wallpaper to shirt...

Got bored at work and was kicking around vector graphics. Ended up created a wallpaper for a car site I also am a member of. Everyone liked the wallpaper so much the owner fo the site wants to make shirts out of it!

Started out as this....

The owner wanted a 1 color design on the back by the kidney area...

And now he is scouting out printers to print them up.

Honestly, not my most crowning design, took me all of 15 minutes. But hey, for a freebie design that I am giving to them. You can't go wrong! :D


C&C?

i like them. they aren't my style of shirt, but theyre still nice.

did you use grunge brushes for the designs? if so, which set do you have/use? i've hard a hard time finding decent illustrator brush sets. :)

Honestly, not really my style either. But keep in mind that this is a car site focused on kids 16-23/25ish...

got a bunch of the graphics from freebie sites around on the web.

you can make vector brushes and textures easily if you find some free stock pics and use LiveTrace on them...
