After a few suggestions from some forum members on Threadless I’ve made a few changes. This’ll probably be the version I’ll submit as I’m itching to get on with a few other ideas.

The guy in the picture is a random model from Threadless, not something I picked up from a serial killer website.

The chicken applied to a t-shirt.
I’m a tad concerned the detail of the kissing chickens is too hard to spot.
Maybe I need fewer/larger chickens…

The chicken lives!
Fleshed the birdy out in Illustrator.

Been waffling and thinking about what to do for my first t-shirt, and have come to the conclusion that whatever I choose I’ll always wish I’d done something different. So with that positive thought in my I decided to have a stab at the next idea rather than consigning it to the ‘maybe not’ pile.

So, with that in mind I decided a chicken based t-shirt would be at the top of everyones 2009 Christmas wish list. I think this would have been a dead cert for the ‘maybe not’ pile.

I’m going to try and get a t-shirt design accepted for Threadless.

Threadless are an online t-shirt selling company that pay around $2000 per design accepted.

It’s not as easy as it sounds though. There’s a rigorous set of criteria that need to be followed, plus your design goes out to be voted on by Threadless members. If it gets above a certain amount of votes it is accepted, you get cash in hand, fame and the freedom of the city of Penge.

So, this area of me blog shall follow my design progress from concepts through to inevitable disappointment
