Original t-shirt illustration & design for online mail order catalog company What on Earth of Hudson, Ohio. The t-shirt series I have been involved with are the continuing line of international pub t-shirts. What on Earth supplies the name of the bar and the country in which it is located, and the artist is given the task of developing the design.

El Gato Tuerto (or One-Eyed Cat) was developed to be a singular concentric design with a big eye in the center. The linework was kept clean and to a minimum to emphasize the cyclopean feline. Colors were chosen to draw the viewers eye to the singular eye in the center. Some variations were tested as far as the order of the yellow/red/green, but the order in the final design seemed most effective, keeping the illustration fun and lively. Aren't you glad I didn't say 'nine-lively'?
