Monsterboy t-shirts

Images of the set of t-shirts I had printed for my Monsterboy project.

Lady town colour

Here is a development of the first piece 'lady town' which I am getting printed onto a t-shirt tomorrow.

Lady Town

This is another piece inspired by my weird little brother Louis. He didn't know where I went ever year when I moved into Manchester city center. He called it 'LADY TOWN' because he thinks that's where all the women go shopping and he hates shopping.

'Magpies Eat Birds'

My little brother can sometimes be a great influence on my work. His name is Louis Hammond and he is 7. He lives in a bizarre world where he is king and everything is strange. He recently told me that not magpies are not birds and in fact they eat birds. I have no idea where he got that from but i thought it was amazing. He has all these little words of wisdom and he is never wrong.
I am including these images in my Monsterboy project as I feel they would make great t-shirt designs.

Monsterboy A5 to A1 poster

I have been looking at different way to format my designs. I have created an A5 document which pulls out to become an A1 poster. I printed onto tracing paper which I later found to be very difficult to fold and manipulate. It is stiff and less flexible than paper which means it is getting damaged on the folds.

Stop motion piece just for fun. Practice before the robots piece.

Sticky Fingers

These are two t-shirt designs for a project I am working on called 'Monsterboy'. My own little brand, producing t-shirts which represent me, all the things I like and all the crazy ideas that pass through my mind. It s fun project and this is easily seen in the work I am creating. These are part of the 'Sticky Fingers' collection which is just about the things in life we crave. Here I have illustrated treats we hate to love. Other designs in the collection are ice lollies and penny sweets. 

Cakes

After I created the set of ice lollies I wanted to create some similar looking cakes. I must have been hungry! I think they have a nice look and am thinking of have some t-shirts printed with them and the words 'sticky fingers' on the back.  

Faces of music

I wanted to do a set of illustrations of my favourite music artists/bands which I have enjoyed listening to over the years. The illustrations are loose and are to represent them at the time I enjoyed there music. For example Michael Jackson looking slightly more youthful from his thriller days. This was simply for fun and to show some of the musical greats which have influenced me.

Pig Ink

Pig Ink is a hand drawn design which was inspired by an article I read about artist Wim Delvoye who tattooed pigs and when they died he exhibited their skins. I thought the idea was hilarious and creative. 

Monsterboy

'Monsterboy' is an urban fashion brand I designed last year. I hope to print a selection of t-shirts in the near future. The brand is a fun, urban brand with a focus on bold t-shirt prints that reflect my personal interests and imagination.
