Minions - Respect, Power, BANANA !
** Update TeeTournament.com have this design up for sale on the 23rd of June, $11 for one day only !

Anyone going to see the Minions Movie ?

Well spoiler alert, but when I saw the trailer (about 1:45 into the version below) I had to create this.

It is currently up for voting and if you have a moment I'd appreciate a vote or two -

Vote on Qwertee

Vote on Tee Tournament
Tee Tournament Delivery
Following the recent Tee Tournament sale I received my copies of the t-shirts, they look great in person, and I love the Stargate one as from a distance you can really see through the event horizon !

Double Team on Tee Tournament
It looks like I am going head to head with my self on Tee Tournament !

There are two of my designs up for sale for one day only on their site, my Stargate SG1 and Agents of SHIELD designs.



Swan With Two Necks
The BBC and others have been posting some filming pictures and small hints from Series 9 of new Doctor Who and one of them stuck out as something I'd like to have a go at drawing.

This appears to be the name of an old English pub from a few hundred years ago, but any more than that I don't really know.

As this could be considered a spoiler, I have left the preview picture fairly small, but if you click it you will see a bigger version.

for those that asked I have added a t-shirt version to Redbubble
Furys Toolbox
Fury's Toolbox, helps rebuild your S.H.I.E.L.D. from scratch.

We saw Nick Fury give Coulson this little cube of mystery at the end of season 1 it has been a source of much wonder. In recent episodes it has been part of the Real SHIELD plot and I thought about creating this t-shirt design.

It is up for voting at the moment on Qwertee and on Tee Tournament

Gallery
Check out the new Gallery page on this website, all my current stuff in one handy place (hum the Tony Hart theme tune while viewing if you want)

New Stormtrooper Helmet
Anyone love the new Star Wars Episode 7 Stormtroopers yet ?

I thought I'd get in early and create a very simple vector version of the helmet.

In fact I liked it so much I decided to put it up on Redbubble if you want one on a t-shirt, pillow, iPad case etc.
Round Things Scarf
Redbubble have recently started to introduce some more product lines and one that caught my eye was the scarf.

I'm not sure I'd describe it as a scarf, more of a pashmina, but what ever you call it, it is certainly different.

Essentially just a large, very thin rectangle of material that can have any design printed on it.

I have made a few of my designs available on the new scarf product in my Redbubble store and thought I would get one printed for myself.

The one I chose was a Doctor Who themed one, my Round Things design, based on the roundels in the current incarnation of the TARDIS.

When it arrived I was very impressed by the print quality, it appears that the back background is printed on as the reverse side has a green tint to it which I assume is the base colour of the scarf.

The size, as you can see in the picture, is very large the preview on the RB website looks big but in real life it is just as big !

Star Wars Rebels - Crystal Hope
If you are watching the latest iteration of Star Wars cartoon, Star Wars Rebels, then I'm sure you are already loving what they are doing with it.

The final episode in season one was quite epic and the return of one of my favourite characters was a very welcome moment.

What we have here is another of my favourite moment's, when Ezra earns his Kyber crystal and fully starts his journey as a Jedi in training. I also added in the background the spray painted symbol that Sabine painted on the wall and that a younger Lando Calrissian sees when he is aboard the Ghost.

I have now added this to my Redbubble store if you want to get a t-shirt, pillow, bag, sticker or other version of the design.
LOST 2017 - Official Poster
The news is out ! Revealed on Twitter on LOST day (or at least it was for the US fans) - 4/8/15 16:23:42 - by @2017LOST

I had the idea for this while at LOST 2014, after it was announced there would be a 2017 meet up, and after a few (cough) iterations this was the end result. I originally created it just because I wanted to, not knowing that it might be used for the 2017 gathering, but I am so happy that it was deemed worthy.

I did think about adding a Hurley or other characters into the van, but decided against it to keep it simple and relaxed, like the 2017 gathering is sure to be.

Head on over to the LOST 2017 website to keep up to date with what is happening and meet some like minded LOST fans.
Krull Glaive
If you are a fan of the 80's classic movie Krull like I am then you might recognise this

I was watching it again a little while ago and wanted to create something to represent the movie.

So this is my version of the Glaive weapon and around the outside is the prophecy - "A girl of ancient name that shall become queen, that she shall choose a king, and that together they shall rule their world, and that their son shall rule the galaxy"

Now available as a t-shirt design in my Redbubble store.
Hawaii 50 - Moku Cuts
A recent episode of Hawaii 5-0 took place almost entirely in a barber shop.

I can tell you are thinking that it wasn't the most interesting story, but you would be wrong, a great episode from my favourite pairing of Bryan Wynbrandt and Steve Lilien who were the co-creators of Alcatraz and are now writing for and producing the show.

I thought I'd have a go at reproducing the Moku Cuts logo, but expand on it a little and create a t-shirt design based around it.
Independent State Printed
The good people at Tee Tournament printed my Independent State design and sent me one of the t-shirts

I love the print quality on this and the t-shirt material quality is good as well.
Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Takeaways
A couple of possibly related things in the Agents of SHIELD universe, first is my version of the Pescado Loco (Fish Crazy) takeaway shop logo that has been seen a couple of times in AOS.

It was spotted in the second season when Simmons was undercover in Hydra, and again later when Talbot's wife was accused of being Agent 33 in disguise.

Anyone thinking of Breaking Bad's Los Pollos Hermanos ?.

I created this after that early episode but only posted it on Twitter before as I thought it would be done after that episode.

The second thing is possibly a beverage that might be served in the fast food restaurant :-)

The idea was triggered by a discussion on the Phantastic Geek Agents of SHIELD podcast, when they were discussing the introduction of the "Real S.H.I.E.L.D." organisation.

"SHIELD Cola, It's the real thing"
The 100 Marcus Kane Quote T-Shirt
Something for fans of The 100, a Marcus Kane quote t-shirt design.

Set on top of the ARK Guard logo and the quote text has a hexagonal pattern to echo the 100 logo.

Below is a close up of Kane

I have put this up for sale on my Tee Public store along with a few other designs that are only available there.
2015 Solar Eclipse
I took a few photos from our garden in Staffordshire, and stitched them together into this animated GIF

Game of Thrones House Mottos T-Shirt
In the Game of Thrones it is your words that define you

I created this idea for someone a few months ago, but that didn't go anywhere, so I added it to a couple of t-shirt voting sites -

Qwertee

Tee Busters

Defiance- Tarr Traxx Records
In the town of Defiance it is so hard to make a "legitimate" living, but one young Castithan man is making a name for himeself

Tarr Traxx, the new Hip, Groovy name in music.

This t-shirt design is now up for voting on -

Thanks for taking a look, and any votes that come my way
Arrow Ale - It Has Never Failed This City
**Update** I thought it might be cool to get this design printed on a sticker that you could actually put on a beer bottle so had a couple of prototypes printed.

To my surprise when they arrived the few had turned into many as the printing company had printed 10 times as many as I ordered !

However their mistake is your good fortune, I have put these up on my Limited Editions Store and the first 50 people that use the discount code "ARROWZ70" will get their sticker for free !!

What do vigilantes in Starling City drink ? As you can see they drink Arrow Ale !

An idea I had when waiting for the second half of season 3 to start after the Christmas break.

I had an idea a while ago to recreate the arrow that is now part of the season 3 opening credits, that along with the idea for a pun / motto with Ale and Fail in it.

The original motto was going to be "We have Ale'd this city" but ultimately decided against that as it might have been too much of a stretch.


I have submitted this to some t-shirt voting sites, I very much appreciate any and all votes -

Reddit Doctor Who T-Shirt Competition
A little while ago I saw that the Doctor Who subreddit were having a competition so I thought I'd have a go.

The competition is to design a t-shirt for the r/DoctorWho subreddit that will be sold in aid of Doctors Without Borders.

So if you like my design or want to see what other designers have done, visit the competition page and upvote at least one of the designs to show support.

Dominion Senate Houses
After watching the very satisfying conclusion to the first season of Dominion I have to say I was impressed by the whole story arc and multi dimensional characters.

While watching I loved trying to spot all the emblems that represent the senate houses, I managed to find all 11 in the end, although one came from the SyFy Welcome to Vega website . Not 100% happy with all of them, but they are the best I think I can get based on the limited screenshots I have managed to grab.

I sent a few tweets out with the simple version (below) and the Dominion Fan Site DominionFans.com asked me for a higher resolution version, with the names of the houses, for their fan art pages. The first problem is that I don't yet know all the house names, and I certainly don't know which emblems relate to which, so I have only added the ones I am sure of for now.

I decided to create something else to be a little more arty, and the design above is the result. It features the senate house emblems and the logo of the Vega military. I'll update it when more senate names / emblems can be matched.

One final thing or now is that I have created a new Dominion category page on this website so you can simply jump to all the posts relating to it that are posted here.
Phantastic Geek - New Logo
As you may have seen in the past I have created a couple of things for Matt and Pieter the excellent voices behind the Phantastic Geek Popculture podcast.

A little while ago they asked me if I could have a go at designing a new logo for the website and associated icon for the social media feed. I was happy to give it a go and after coming up with a few ideas the general shape and style was decided.

A few more refinements and tweaks and things were good to go, there are more variations available to the guys, but I'll let them reveal them as and when they want to.

The new logo was launched at new year and it is great to see it on screen and get some great feedback from the podcast listeners.

So head on over to PhantasticGeek.com to see it in action and to listen / read what Matt and Pieter have in store for you in the coming year. I have to say I am excited for Agent Carter and will definitely be listening in to see what they have to say about it and find out all the connections and references I usually miss !

They have also launched a new Facebook page and there is a competition in January if you like the page plus their is currently something else I designed in an idle moment or two over there.
