Brain Ball Mk-VIII
Spoiler Alert !

Ok so this scene may not make it into the final cut of the new Star Wars film, but I bet you now won't be able to watch The force Awakens without thinking about this :-)

Pinky : What are we going to do tonight Brain ?

Brain : The same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over a Galaxy far far away.

My favourite mice staring in my favourite movie series.

I have had lots of requests for this, so it is now available on Redbubble
Time Of The Doctor at TeeBusters
The good folk at Teebusters.com, the limited edition, screen printed, t-shirt website, have chosen my Doctor Who "Time Of The Doctor" design to go on sale, starting on Monday the 19th of October.

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.

I am also giving away a poster version of the design to someone who purchases the t-shirt, simply tweet a picture of it to me (@ZORT70) or post it on my Facebook page and I will draw a random winner.
Librarian Window
Would you like to work in a Library ?

I was always a fan of the funny little Librarian movies, they had a sort of rustic charm, an action adventure series that managed to rise above its limited budget. Plus it had Noah Wyle in it which was always going to be a good move.

When a TV series based on the stories was announced I was as usual sceptical, but again the TV show is rising above its humble beginnings, it sort of fills a gap that Warehouse 13 and Eureka left when they ended.

It actually took me six months to finish this ! Not six months drawing it, but to get it ready for Redbubble and actually adding it.

Hopefully it was worth the wait, and if you are a true Librarian you will be able to decode its meaning.

I have put it up onto Redbubble if you want to go take a look.

Fringe Celebration T-Shirt
It has been a while since I added a new Fringe design to Cafépress but I decided to add this now as it is close to the anniversary date of the start of the show.

I originally created this as a one off t-shirt just for myself to wear at the London film and Comic Con this year where John Noble was attending.

While I was there I got a lot of positive comments and questions about it so I decided to add it to CP.

You might recognise the design as it is part of the Celebration Poster design I created to celebrate the final episode of the show.

It features the Observer Typography, with all the Glyph code words and the first people calendar as a backdrop.

Either click the image or click here to go to my Cafepress Fringe store.

If you want more Fringe fun this year follow @OnTheFringe365 on Twitter to find out what is happening.
Falling Skies - Mason Militia
When you encounter alien Espheni overlords, you'll want the Mason Militia to save you.

Celebrating the imminent end of the Falling Skies journey, I thought the Mason boys needed a t-shirt of their own.

The term "Mason Militia" has been mentioned a few times in this final season so I thought I'd try and create a military style patch for their members.

Featuring the four Mason men (Matt is all grown up now right ?) and also the three ring symbol that Lexi wore as a necklace.

At the bottom is the phrase that Weaver got Matt to repeat to try and distract him from being afraid when all looked hopeless at the end of season 4.

The design is now up for voting now on Teebusters and Qwertee, if you have a moment to vote as always I'd appreciate it.

If you simply can't wait, and want one for next weeks final episode (snif) then I have also put it onto Redbubble, click here to see it.
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.
Straight Outta Trumpton
Yes there are many parodies of the movie title and poster for Straight Outta Compton, but this is my uniquely British take.

If you remember Trumpton then you are as young (erm old) as me, if you don't remember it, have a look on YouTube, technically it started before I was born, but it got repeated nearly every year for quite a large part of my early childhood.

A stop motion animation classic, with narration by Brian Cant. Trumpton was the second of the three distinct shows to be made, all featuring the same fictional county in England.

If you are not familiar with the characters in the image they are the Trumptonshire Fire Brigade, who's members are famously called "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub".

A few people have asked me whether this is available to purchase, I wasn't going to do that, but as they asked I added it to my Redbubble store
Imaginative Ink UK T-Shirt Store


At last there is a UK alternative to the Print on Demand t-shirt market !

Imaginative Ink is a new web store specialising in geeky and pop culture reference t-shirts, a welcome relief for all those of us in the UK and Europe that have to rely on US services and the postage charges / issues that entails.

I have added a couple of designs for now, but I will add more soon, so head on over there and take a look.
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.

Find out more and listen to the first episode for free by clicking here.
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.
