Play Outdoors!

Probably one of the things I feel sad about kids today is, that they don’t get to enjoy outdoors any more. I mean, even if they *tried* to enjoy, there aren’t enough spaces like grass and play grounds. Not in cosmopolite cities anyway.

I’m not saying that computers and video games are *totally* bad ( heck, I even learned English playing video games!) but they absolutely don’t compare to outdoor activities.

A child’s mood, inner peace and connection with other beings in the world are directly related with spending time in the nature, interacting with animals and plants. At least I firmly believe so. And when I have a kid, I will make sure she/he spends plenty of time playing outdoors.

I didn’t mean it to be a promotional campaign kinda t-shirt, but I do enjoy the message it is giving!

Here is the shirt version of it, I liked how the colors turned out.

Do yourself a favor, and try to save sometime to walk, have a tea outside, or just play with your pet.

Connect with the world you live in !

I love shirts with writings!

I really do.

I was working on an order, but having a “designer’s block” (hah! I laugh at myself as I write this, but hey) so I decided to do some rough drafts. I had a long tunic tshirt laying around, kinda like loungewear, you know. I don’t really wear it to sleep, but I don’t wear it outside either. (well, save for running errands maybe)

After I unnecessarily elaborate the piece of fabric to you guys, I drew my design on! This is a permanent textile marker, not the 3D velvety paints I usually use. I don’t like to spend those precious paint on rough drafts, but I don’t like the look of textile marker very much either. But this one turned out pretty good. Maybe it’s the color of the marker, the texture of the shirt, or the stars were aligned, who knows?

Anyhow, here you go!

Love,

More owlsomeness!

I might actually consider making an “owlsome” range out of my tshirts, as I get waaaay ahead of myself trying to find new designs. I end up with making various creations of the owlsome troop, that, actually turns out more creative than any one of them.

I sound pathetic wow! No, no, I do and can always come up with new designs, it’s just, I love the Owls so much, I had to legitimize my unconditional love towards them:)

enjoy!!

Going over board with creativity!

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

Green glittery owlsomeness

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!!

My logo at the back:

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!
