I just finished up a t-shirt illustration – ‘The Hairy Canary‘ – for mail-order/catalog company What On Earth for their pub t-shirts line.
The basic premise of the t-shirt designs are as follows: the artist is given a choice of bar/pub names to choose from, and from there a design is worked up to go with the name. I believe all the bars & pubs are actual places, but these aren’t officially sanctioned or anything.
From the list I was given, the name ‘Hairy Canary’ just jumped out at me and I knew it was a theme that would spark a cool illustration.
A cool online image generator at I-Mockery.com that will create your name out of 1974 Topps Monster Initial Stickers letter art.

A completely fun, pointless and very Zen website I just stumbled across: Sketch Swap. The premise is simple — make a doodle, submit it, and get a random doodle in return. There’s no eraser, only one pencil size and no color. You can’t save, link to or find your doodle once you submit it. You can’t sign up, log in, create an account, comment or vote.
In short, it’s perfect.
You’d probably think I was crazy if I told you this image contained the New York City skyline, but it does. You have to be a bit of a Photoshop geek to see it, but it’s there.
Head on over to Ironic Sans to see the skyline, and how it was done. It took me a couple of reads to wrap my head around this. I love this kind of stuff!
