Keep Calm, Equin-co designs are here ..

Image

An acquaintance ordered a “Keep Calm and blablabla…” tshirt. Well, we all know the hype in those and I should say I did dig some of them too.

But when it came to making something that someone out there already made, I was hesitant. Still, though, should I come up with the *idea* besides the design -lettering and illustration- and the application? In some cases, yes, I do. But every now and then, I take a popular and/or retro idea and add a twist to it, so it ends up being perfectly personal.

With this one, I thought, “Ok, I make tshirts, I might as well put a saying to this!” so that’s how I came up with that. She loved it, thankfully, which puts a smile on my face as well.

Going over board with creativity!

Image

Whenever I make tshirts (or have an idea for a tshirt) I usually go for simple, clean cut, to the point designs. *Insert HUUUGE liar pinocchio nose*

No, but really 🙂 Although I *usually* go for refined, I have the tendency to appreciate the beauty of eclectic sometimes. The shirt above is no exception. I absolutely love typography, even more when the words are the perfect description! So why settle for one?:)

The key for mixing it up, though, is somehow try to keep a common ground, like letters, or only metallic, or objects that relate to a similar category. They *have* to meet somewhere! So that the whole design doesn’t end up looking like a mess.

I love the cut and the texture of this particular one here, the lettering only made it more awesome, i think :/

I am going all aboard with this owl stuff, might as well try all the colors in the world! Like, um, glitter. This ultra soft green cotton tshirt is blessed with owlsome goodness!!

I am currently working on my Society6 profile, I will share it as soon as the online store is ready. As a default principal, I like to make my designs ( tshirts, dare I say) one of a kind, but some patterns and illustrations are so “in” and everyone seems to dig them, I make replicas of the same origin, or even the exact same.

So, if the design is not gonna be unique to the owner ( I shall say again, most cases, it is!) I will cooperate with sites such as Soceity6, so that there is someone to print it nice and good and ship it to the client for me.

I’ll keep posted!

Red Owl is surprised

I usually draw a rough outline to the design with a soft pencil, estimating the final outcome later on in color. This time, I was too lazy to get up and get a pencil, so I drew with the marker pen I had lying around on the table. Super lazy of me. 

The outcome, however, wasn’t too bad. The “trial lines”as that the art teachers call it, were all in red! Marker! As I sketched and darkened the spots even further, the owl got funnier. But that’s fine. I like how he is at the moment. 

Oh and btw, HAPPY SPRING, everyone!!

Today is officially the beginning of spring, my favorite season. 🙂

Come to think of it, I might even make a post later on today, about Equinox! The name has so many callings for puns, but I’m not gonna do it!

Homie, I’m Home!

"homedecor" decorative ornament
One of my best friends is getting married, and I was so long lost in the journey of finding a wedding gift, so unique that would tick all the boxes: satisfy her love for home, match her taste, describe our relationship and satisfy me.

I was browsing through a lot of stuff, and some of the things I came across were mainly art prints and/or paintings in frames. So, as a rough draft, as well as a reminder for myself, I sketched this one, who knows maybe it will turn out great in post editing and she will hang this up on her wall!

Pretzel Power!

Owls being delicious

I was having a snack couple of nights ago while I was drawing. So being the awesome person I am, I decided, “hey, why don’t I combine these activities all together?”

Ended up with this piece.

Lately I figured I really am obsessed with converting words into completely different ones, i’m especially nuts with inserting “owl”s. Well, let’s see how that turns out to be.

Enjoy the deliciowlness!

World’s Social Problems

Socially awkward

Having the social media at our fingertips, even more than ever today, makes us struggle a little in the material world. Being the “social” people we are in Facebook, twitter and whatnot , it seems to me that we forget how to act among the “friends” we so often interact via web, but not in face-to-face contact.

That, of course, results in awkward silences, not so fun moments, and most saddening of all, leaving us wanting to share a video to break the ice.

I would love to wear that shirt in public, maybe that’ll bring us something to talk about in case of emergencies!

Oh, there is the tshirt !
