I've updated my X-Wing design after someone bought a sticker version.  The transparent file used when submitting my t-shirt designs is of no use for the sticker.  I've added the black background basically.

Sales Update and Website news

Sales of X-Wing and TIE Fighter have shot up through the roof.  Is there some kind of Star Wars event coming up?  I do kind of feel cheap creating these shirts, it seems like shooting fish in a barrel.

However, X-Wing is now rivalling my Air Diego design as my biggest seller and everyone seems to have an obligatory Star Wars money spinner on sale these days.

I suppose I can take solice from the fact I haven't resorted to exploiting the religious bigotry of Rangers and Celtic that I see some Scottish designer have resorted to on Redbubble.  I draw the line there when it comes to making a quick buck.


In other news, the website (much delayed for far too numerous reasons) is almost with us.  I aim to have it 'fully operational' (maybe I should do a Death Star design) sometime this week.

Cheers,
David.

My third Qwertee submission

http://www.qwertee.com/product/incom-t-65/

It's another revamped old design.  It's as popular on Redbubble as my Air Deigo design so hopefully the voters on Qwertee like it as much. 

Get voting folks!

Things You Have To See 2

Here's alienredwolf, a fellow Redbubbler, with his disturbingly brilliant Willy Bum Bum.

Tears of Aquanna

Star Wars meets Bluenote Jazz, Tears of Aquanna is the debut album from Figrin D'an and the Modal Notes.  At least it is in my mind.  The title is taken from Wookipedia, it's amazing the back stories attributed to Star Wars characters.

When I say amazing I mean tragic...I think.  I spent hours on the site today : )

Commrade Monkski

Here's my entry to a Soviet Space Race T-Shirt competition over on Redbubble.  My inspiration is Zhakonya, one of two monkeys to set the simian space endurance record.  I'm pretty sure they were Spider Monkeys but I've used artistic licence to creat my propoganda style T-Shirt.

It's also available as a print, card, postcard and canvas and you can visit the competition here on Redbubble.

X-Wing sales picking up

It's Luke's control panel from his X-Wing and I sold my third one this morning.  There are a good few Star Wars shirts out there so I'll get round to finding my 10 favorites and share them on here.

Boards of Helvetica

Inspired by Boards of Canada and the mother of all fonts.  Maybe even the Trainspotting Choose Life poster.

It's over on my  - Redbubble

Donald Butler

Just a last heads up from me tonight.  Check out the photography on offer from Donald Butler.  Now, I have to confess to a little self interest here, Donald is my cousin.  However, I am really impressed by his eye for a photo that to me packs a real emotional impact.  This far exceeds the obvious nepotism that I can't deny also exists.

Anyway, the pimping is over, here's the link: www.redbubble.com/people/donaldbutler

and here's some examples:

Falkirk Football Club

Here's the first of my Falkirk shirts on the blog.  FFC shirts are at the heart of Thundermonkey T-shirts.  They aren't as frequent as they were in the beginning as I'm growing in confidence when attempting other things.  However, they still make up around half of my sales and I still to this day eagerly and fearfully await the response given by the fiercely opinionated Falkirk fans.

This one is a little foray into the world of Typography.  The one used is called Alien Encounters I think.  You can buy one Here

Alas Poor Thundermonkey...

...I knew him well.

Good morning.  Here's my latest shirt. It's inspired by some headless Vikings found at an Olympic building site.

You can find me here

Start as I mean to go on...

Hola!  First entry on my first blog (which will amuse some folk greatly...).  Hopefully I'll keep you entertained with my T-shirts and other stuff.  I'll fire up the best shirts, illustrations and designers as and when I discover them as well.

First up is a guy who has provided me with a fair bit of encouragement over the last year or so, Matt Simner.
