T-shirt tests

Friday, November 2, 2007

This last tuesday I visited my two brothers in San Francisco, on tour with a band called Emery. My little brother is their merch guy and my older brother is their guitar tech. I had a totally awesome time and partied on their tour bus, but that's beside the point. The point is that I got a free t-shirt (my little brother is the merch guy, remember?) and I thought to myself that I could do a comparable if not better job designing a shirt if I had the chance. So I decided to give it a try and below are two shirts I created for the band, just to see what I'm made of.

Whenever I see posters or shirts for bands I can't shake the feeling that all the imagery used is completely random and is there simply because it looks cool, or funny, or confusing, or other adjectives I can't think of at the moment. Nonetheless it's a fun exercise to make these things and will most likely continue.
