Ghost Benders at Teebusters
The very nice people at Teebusters, the limited edition t-shirt website, have chosen my Futurama "Ghost Benders" design to go on sale, starting on Friday the 21st of August.

It will be available for just 48 hours on a high quality screen printed t-shirt and hoodie at the incredibly cheap price of just £7.50.

If you like the design and want a poster version of it I do have a very small number available in my online store
The shirt is now live, head on over to Teebusters and take a look and if you can share the details on social media I'd appreciate it.
Dark Matter
In case you haven't stumbled across it yet, Dark Matter is a new SciFi / spaceship based TV show being shown by the SyFy channel in the UK.

The first episode starts with a crew waking up on their ship with no memories of who they are. The series is progressing with the layers of mystery about their past being revealed.

It is created and produced by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, two of the main people behind Startgate SG1.

It has a really rich world (galaxy ?) of settings and information to take in and digest, which gives me lots of opportunity to recreate and build on that world and create some interesting things.

The first above is based on the Galactic Authority logo.

The badge on it's own is below, followed by two profile icon designs based on the house emblem of "Four" (makes sense when you have watched the show) I recreated the emblem and then made the icon with it as an illustrator pattern.



This next poster is based on the seventh episode and those that have seen it will know it's significance.

I loved the display showing the charge level and thought I'd have a go at recreating it in vector form and made it into a promo poster for the show.


finally for now is another poster, featuring the image of one of the space stations encountered in the show, and the logo of Transfer Transit, a travel company of sorts that has a significant role in one of the episodes.

In the background of the poster is a nice little design that was featured in the same episode as a sort of window frame, I liked the look of it so I created my version as a simple vector to use as the background.


I have created one other thing that you may have seen on Twitter, but I'm going to work on that as a potential t-shirt design and I'll post it here when it is finished.

I have created a Dark Matter tag on the website so if you want to see everything in one place use this link
Strangeness In Space
What do you do when you are stuck orbiting a far off planet with a square sun and caught in a shoe storm ?



Yes I did say shoe storm :-)

I was inspired to create this after listening to the first episode that was just released of Strangeness in Space.

This is a brand new original comedy audio play / podcast starring Doctor Who's Sophie Aldred and Saturday Morning TV favourites Trev and Simon, plus a cast of many other famous voices.

Siege Of The TARDIS at Comic Con !
We all want to go to San Diego Comic Con right ?

At least the geeks that I know do, but what would it be like if you were featured at SDCC as an artist ? I am about to find out !

BBC America put out a call for people to submit fan art from the most recent series / season of Doctor Who, I decided to update my Siege of The TARDIS poster to make it a little more complete, with the names of the cast and crew involved and make the title stand out a little more.

What you see to the left is the end result, and this is what I submitted.

To my astonishment a few weeks later I received an email to say they had selected it for display at the BBC America booth at the SDCC event. I am still buzzing with the news that they wanted to feature it !

As this is a special occasion I am going to have a little competition, where if you are at SDCC you can win one of my "Round Things" scarves.

All you have to do is take a picture of the poster up at Comic Con, with yourself in as well if you want :-), and follow / send the picture to me on twitter @ZORT70 or like and tag Z70Designs on Facebook

I will draw a random person from all the entries the Friday after SDCC finishes and they will be the winner, I'll also have a couple of small prizes for other entrants. If you can't get to SDCC send me a picture of something you have bought from one of my online shops or from a limited edition t-shirt sale and I can send some other small prizes out.
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 !

Doctor Who Gallery
Hot on the heels of my all purpose designs gallery, I thought I'd create a Doctor Who specific version.

I think I have everything I have designed on there, but if you see something missing let me know. (don't tell me about the Swan with 2 Necks, that is still technically a spoiler so not included in the gallery yet)

Also it has a simple url so people can find it easily - http://zort.co.uk/doctorwho

Most items have a link to a sale page or an article on this website about the design. Although not everything is available and not everything has been documented here (yet).
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 !

See the original post about the Round things design by clicking here
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
