Well, originally it was your everday run-of-the-mill horse design. They were all sand-colored and really quite ordinary. And then, a friend asked to see them in green.

...the next thing I knew, they were bright green cactus horses, complete with pricklies. I personally find the final version to be strange, yet charming. Printed on a black American Apparel t-shirt, this is a 5 color print.

Tell us more about this design.

There’s no real explanation for the design itself, but I hope it inspires people to see translucent cactus horses whenever they see one of those classic ghost town scenes. Y’know, the ones with the tumbleweed? Dramatic old west movies will never be quite the same.

What’s your favorite medium to work in?

My favorite is definitely digital (Photoshop CS), but I’ve also been discovering the joys of oil paints as of late. Awesome stuff.

When they’re re-telling the story of your life, do you want it as a book, or a movie?

A book! I feel like my life would have too many random landscape/sidewalk/sky shots to make it on the big screen. Also, if you fall asleep during a book, you just wake up with a paper pillow. On the other hand, if you fall asleep during the movie, and you’re out ten dollars. No good!

Describe your favorite t-shirt.

It’s black, and kind of smells like paint/charcoal despite numerous washings. It also has a horde of angry birds on it drawn by what I believe to be a host of talented people.

Describe your favorite ice cream flavor.

It is GREEN AND DELICIOUS.

Anything else.

Nothing else to add here, except a hefty thanks to Tilteed for printing my strange prickly horses. And of course, many thanks to the folks who voted’n commented. smile

Didn’t I specifically ask for cacti? raspberry

I like white better, for sure.  But I’m not sure if I prefer the original side placement or this new placement.  I’ll be buying anyway.

You made me join yet another shirt site.  Grr.
