Sabrina wearing the Pacman tee

If there’s one thing that transcends time and space, and perhaps even logic, it’s old school game icons. Pacman most notably. Donkey Kong and the Galaga posse are popular as well, creating a range of humorous and stylish pieces of art and clothing over the years.

I designed the Pacman Graph shirt for AntiClothes based off of a wildly popular picture floating around the internet, but limited only to the web culture. I wanted to see it expressed outside the web and in “real life” in a tangible form of art and humor. It’s one of AC’s best-selling shirts, and there’s no secret why.

Owah owah owah owah owah

Rumor has it AntiClothes is coming out with another type of Pacman shirt, so keep your eyes peeled! If you’d like to see more gaming-related clothing, make sure to check out Jinx, who is an online shop dedicated purely to gaming related clothes. Cool stuff, even though they’re our competition.

Splattered Eagle tee design

The design of the Splattered Eagle shirt I did for Bryan over at AntiClothes was meant to expand the brand into a more stylized realm, rather than text-based or humor-based tees. The splatters surrounding the eagle were meant to contrast with the comparatively smooth form and profile birds have, really gripping the viewers attention and (hopefully) forcing them to investigate further.

Production of the shirt was actually more simple than it may seem. Creating brushes and patterns using Photoshop and Illustrator (here’s a tutorial on how), as well as using brushes I have gotten amongst the web for free really helped in creating this design. One thing I love about the ready availability of brushes for Illustrator is how it allows the designer to focus on the design rather than preparations for the design; though some may argue creating brushes is a more authentic process. I’m not sure I disagree either, since I make all my brushes in Photoshop myself.

I designed this gem of a shirt for my buddy Bryan over at anticlothes.com. AntiClothes is a new take on the humor and designer tee realm. They print every design on 100% cotton American Apparel shirts and the quality of each design is, in my opinion, higher than most other companies.

I think there’s room for a more tasteful and stylish mass-audience tee company, and AntiClothes fills that void nicely. The other companies skimp on quality shirts and their designs are usually obviously cooked up in a matter of minutes; and if not, they sure appear that way. I don’t see why it’s acceptable for these companies to spare attention to detail, but I’m proud to be one of AntiClothes‘ designers—focusing on the quality of the shirts rather than quantity. That will come with time.
