MY IMOTO
Tee Artist: theJCW
My Imoto, tell us a little more about him.
Imoto is partially a product of my love for monster movies (yes I do like the original Godzilla and new movies like Cloverfield and The Host) and usually optimistic view on life. Just because he’s a monster doesn’t mean that he is bent on destruction. We don’t know if he plans to step over that next building or kick it down, but you can bet when the tanks arrive and start firing THEN those buildings and choppers are going down.
I talked with my Neighbor from Japan about getting the translation just right so the exclamations sound more playful than serious. After all, he’s fuzzy, bucktoothed and didn’t break anything yet, what’s to be scared of? Did he fail as a monster or just not get pissed off yet?
We know you have a show coming up in a few months. Details please!
How do you know about that? theJCW has a mole…
It’s a group show scheduled for November at http://ohnodoom.com/ It will be a great group, so all of you reading this should drop whatever you are doing in November and travel however far you have to in order to see this show.
IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!
I’ll post more info on facebook when it gets closer. OH, and you can expect a lot of character painting.
If you had to pick up and move tomorrow and could relocate anywhere, where would we find you?
You would probably have a hard time finding me, I’d be on some kind of huge boat that can travel constantly and dock around different parts of the world. I could work on-board, and stay as long as I want wherever I want. I think eventually when we are attacked by Somali Pirates and I dramatically save the entire crew of the ship, my wife would make me decide on only one place…. I don’t know where that is yet.
First t-shirt artist that pops into your head when we say ‘Amazing.’
a.mar.illo - detail + style + versatility + color palettes = amazing
Any links you want to pimp?

This is the spot for last words.
Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something.

“monster-attack-city” tees. This one is so so gooood!!!
Simeon Wells Sunday, July 11th
Can you print this one now please! :D
fuzzylogic Sunday, July 11th
PLEASE!
chatnoirrouge Monday, July 12th
i love this one because of the bubble dialogues in Nippon-nese. It’s like monsters and Gojira are a part of the fauna of all things Japanese. And it makes me laugh reading all those conversatins among the people regarding the huge monster that is stomping around trying hard to scare the hell out of these occupants…..but fail. hahaha!!!
Sorry for long written thoughts. Print this,
please please please:)

This is an awesome design. I wish Tilteed would show images of the actual t-shirts rather than mock-ups though. Although I guess this one hasn’t been printed yet, for older tees there is no real excuse not to.
JadenKale Tuesday, July 13th
@Deadhippo That is an excellent idea. Perhaps by the end of this year we’ll be able to do this. Either that, or we can ask you guys to upload good pictures of you guys wearing our tees.
I understand your want of professional photos, though. Since I own so many tees that I could swim in them, there have been many times that I’ve wished certain shirt-a-day sites would show real prints. However, I believe some of our catalog tees have real photos. I’ll have to confirm that with da boss, though.
Patrick Tuesday, July 13th
All of the shots with models are of the actual shirts. We shall make it a priority to update some of the newer designs with product shots.
hruna Tuesday, July 13th
thank gooooodness! YES! yay!
theJCW Tuesday, July 13th
thanks everyone, I hope everyone who previously supported this design can find their way here.
And don’t worry about the mockup, Tilteed does an amazing print job, you get what you see.
