So after a loooong sabbatical of around 5 years, i finally got round to posting a new submission...



more detail

I'm proud to say that i have improved slightly from my previous 'attempts' but wanted to keep my original profile... yay!

So yea, im back threadless....it's been too long.
Lets never part ways again!

Say hi, ive missed you :)

Ok, i need some help with vectoring things...

I do a lot of 'digital illustration' in Photoshop. I like using the sensitivity of the brush tool and my tablet to get quite a wiggly, hand drawn effect. Example : My mate aaron

some people have asked me to do a piece for them to put on a canvas (were talking A2 size)...

THE DILEMA...
My sketches are not that big...
when i try and vectorize them so i can make them bigger, they always come out to clean looking, does anyone have any tips on vectoring something so that it still looks like its hand drawn?

maybe i need to move to illustrator but i dont know if it will provide the same effect?!


Much help is needed, you good, kind, knowledgeable threadless peeps!

Thanks :)

*UPDATE*
After yesterday's success, i decided to give it another try.
Here is the outcome:



Had a fairly boring day so i decided to vectorize myself.
Here is the result.



Fairly happy with the result for only a couple of hours...
May get it canvassed?

Any comments?

Today Threadless decided that instead of sending me a small shirt, they would send a XXXL.



Here is what i ordered:


Here is what i received:


Here is the shirt in question underneath one of my usual SMALL shirts:


Living in the UK makes return postage a bitch plus its sold out too...
What now?

I went shopping and came home with a some awesome gear:



This is my first tablet...
Just been messing around so far but i think its gonna be AWESOME!

What did you do today?

where i could find a distressed tiling pattern...
its for a web background. totally stuck!

Any help would be awesome :)

So i see a couple of subs every now and then where the design has been 'mounted' on a fabric background, giving an indication of what it would look like printed...

Do you guy's use stock photography?
Where could i get such images?

I'm not talking about using a model.
Please check this example to see what i mean...

Thanks guy's :D

post one photo for the 12 montth subscription?
Or can you post a pic of each shirt......?

Right now its not letting me post said photo!
Anybody know?

:)

So i think its time to buy a tablet.
Never used one before or anything so i kinda know nothing.

Any advice or tips and also which one to buy?!

Thanks guy's :)

:EDIT:
So im thinking of getting this one...

The Intuos 3 A4 tablet.
Is A4 bigger than i really need?

I dont wanna blow £300 and regret it later...

Happy b'day James!
Enjoy being 26 :)


Stay stylish!
