Kid at Heart

Christian from Stay Gold Clothing Company hired me to, er, flesh out a design he refered to as Kid at Heart. Essentially, the brief called for toys of my choosing to protrude from inside the heart. There were requests for playing cards, but I was otherwise left to my own devices.

Christian was super easy to work with. Aside from one or two minor changes, my original vision was left almost entirely intact. The original brief hadn't mentioned a need for the company's name to appear on the shirt and that was added in. The composition didn't even need a tweaking; everything worked out swimmingly!

The final design is five spot colors and the shirt color and can be seen here:

All in all, I completed this tee in one full business day. I wish all jobs went as clean and satisfying!

    I love the textures on the heart. You've really developed a unique style with your digital imagery, I can glance at any one of your pieces and know instantly that it's by your hand.

    I get that a lot. I've been working on some personal stuff that doesn't get shoehorned into this style for fear I become a one trick pony.

    Well it's a great style all the same, and you've pulled off some fantastic results with it.
