I entered Threadless's April Fools competition with this design, they wanted something fun and quirky that 'someone would only wear on April Fools' Being me I wondered how far they actually wanted me to go with the quirkiness, but looking at some other entries I decided to just stick with drawing funny looking dogs.
I really like this design, mainly because I drew the dog first and used hand made textures and didn't rely solely on doing things digitally. I used this dog in my Urban Graphics brief, but illustrated on top of it and added text to make the design. I was having fun playing with textures on tracing paper that day so I decided to put some of it on top.
Here's the t-shirt mocked up on the Threadless submission mockup, I think it looks okay like this, but would have been a lot better if the design was allowed to wrap all the way round the shirt, the textured parts, because it kind of just looks plonked there when it's sat in the middle. I should have got rid of the texture and made the image more circular.
