Tell us a little more about this t-shirt design.

Expansion is about the birth of a new world, kind of a big bang, or, looking at the faces of the fragment dudes, maybe I´m wrong and it´s destruction:)

You’re a veteran of the t-shirt design contest circuit. Give us an idea of how many t-shirts you’ve had printed through different contest sites. Where was your first win?

Counting all the tees for contest sites including the ones that feature a shirt a day but not the commission works: around 45. The first t-shirt design contest I ever won was for a canadian denim brand called Dish Jeans based in Vancouver.

Who are some of your favorite t-shirt artists?

sonmi, Santiago Uceda (suceda), Yonil, Monsieur Pimpant, Jakob Livengood, jimiyo, Claudia Cimpan (hyperhyphen), Mike Friedrich and the Peachbeach guys, Craig Watkins (wotto), Ryan Seaman (cbass99), Seb Niark, KOA and all the other buddies I didn´t think of right now…

Any other projects your working on and excited about currently?

I´m still in summer mode: working less because It´s too hot to really be creative, haha:) No big deal actually, but next week I`ll have to do an illustration job with historical themes, I love historical themed illustrations. And I´m working with http://www.engraveyourbook.com on something special:)

We hear that you have a 4 year old son, what does he think of dad’s artwork and t-shirts?

It´s a very important thing for him too, Not only that he recognizes my designs, sometimes he and his buddies compare their tees when they meet for school in the morning. That said, there should be much more cool printed tees for kids, not only the mainstream stuff you get “at the mall”. I´m looking at you, Patrick:)
