Hot on the heels of the Cartoon Nerd & Geek t-shirts comes the Pickled Pig cartoon character t-shirt!

Why The Pickled Pig you ask? Well, eons ago I created a t-shirt for a mail-order company based off the phrase “The Pickled Pig”, and it was intended to be a faux “pub shirt”. Not only have I received many emails regarding that illustration since posting on my website, but I was also informed that the company was no longer producing them, and no intentions of doing so in the future.

Well, that just isn’t right, and I set about to fix things. Not wanting to cause any headaches with the original company, and knowing I could create an even better version of the Pickled Pig, I set about months ago to sketching up a new one. And the sketch sat on my computer, anxiously awaiting the touch of the Wacom tablet to it’s roughly sketched being. Until today.

Immediately available for purchase as a t-shirt from Zazzle.com, I present to you the new and improved Pickled Pig cartoon t-shirt!

And awesomly enough, before I have even had a chance to finish thi spost I see on the product page I have been awarded best design of today! Not really sure how that award thing works, but it’s cool!

Update: I lost my Zazzle award after deleting the original shirt due to uploading a version without my copyright & website tagline on the shirt. After my Nerf fiasco in my younger days, I have come to realize the importance of protecting your work.

Available from my online cartoon art store at Zazzle.com now, get your very own Nerd or Geek t-shirt and flaunt your inner (or outer) geek/nerd with this popular cartoon geek illustration. Pocket protector not included.

Shirts are available in black and white, with your choice of the word “nerd” or “geek” in a huge, typewriter-style typeface on the back. Visit the Coghill Cartooning store at Zazzle for all the variations.

Zazzle lets you customize the crap out of the design, so go wild and customize your shirt for your specific nerdishness. You can also pick different shirt colors for the white version of the shirt, but white areas in the art print the color of the shirt so it might look a little weird. But hey, you might look a little weird, so it might all cancel each other out. Black t-shirts come only in black, and no weirdness with the white in the art, just weirdness with the wearer of the shirt.

Stay tuned - more cool cartoon art apparel from my voluminous portfolio of illustration art to be available very soon.
