THE FISH VAN
Tee Artist: Randyotter
Welcome back to Tilteed and congrats on the contest win. Tell us a little bit more about The Fish Van and the inspiration behind it.
The fish came about when I was thinking about doing a large animal in a little city, obviously the first animal I thought of was an otter although admittedly it could be seen as a cat but hey I dont mind cats are pretty cool too. Anyhow I wanted to have something on a silver tee with muted colours as silver grey seems to be my lucky colour and the blue additions made it stand out just enough and eventually I ended up with what you see now.
What’s new in the world of Randyotter since we last had you here?
I had a broken computer for three weeks which really caused some problems however after some poking around and two new motherboards It got working again. I am also quickly approaching graduation from my illustration degree and will be entering the world as a freelance illustrator which is kinda scary.
We’ve been seeing your stuff on a lot of the different tee sites lately (congrats!). How’s the new found t-shirt fame treating you? Are you able to leave the house without being attacked by adoring fans?
It seems as if i am not leaving my flat at all at the minute, so if the fans are there waiting they must be pretty bored the only times I am venturing out is for more coffee and the occasional burger feast.
What plans do you have for the summer?
After saving up some money I have booked a holiday to portugal for the summer , however this volcano ash cloud thing has got me slightly worried, other than that I have to move out of my comfy university flat and somehow not become homeless which could be a challenge!
Title and 1 sentence on the last movie you saw.
X-men origins. Wolverine is so ridiculously cool it literally blows my mind
Any links you’d like to include?
I have no idea I should probably think of something worthwhile…....... errrm nope cant think of anything so you get this haha http://randyotter.myminicity.com/
Anything else?
Just like to say you are a cool bunch of guys and thankyou to everyone who has supported my design you may well stop me from being homeless.

Hey Tilteed…..another hit on your hands! Really cool design, Randyotter. Congratulations on being a contest winner! I am fascinated by the dashed lines on the feline’s head and back. Kinda makes it look like a stuffed animal. Care to explain? Or not?
matt2kool Thursday, May 20th
congrats on the print!
I really like the whale/fish design in the interview. future tilteed print?
AdderXYU Saturday, May 22nd
The whale/fish is either still-up or just-finished scoring at tless, so it certainly wouldn’t be the near future. The fact is, with three curators who love mr. otter’s work, the possibility is always there in the future, but with mr. otter being totally prolific in his output, it’s hard to say that any one piece of his would be likely. We can’t just print him -everyday-
xazy Saturday, May 22nd
Totally bought! Here’s hoping I look good in silver
fuzzylogic Sunday, May 23rd

Rsauseda Sunday, October 30th
Got this yesterday and it is one of the best shirts I have purchased from a tee site. The artwork and color selection work great together! Gotta love a giant OTTER (not a cat/feline) trekking through the city on a hunt for fish.
