I was stoked to be asked to design the Tshirt again this year for the New Zealand Wavesailing windsurf Nationals. This was the final result, featuring a fairly realistic illustration of the kind of conditions we usually get around here for the event. The style follows on from last years design and was of course the main highlight of the event for most competitors…well apart from maybe the winners . 
Just got the heads up that a design I submitted to Threadless is approved and now up for voting! Head on over to check it out and drop a vote if you likey! 
Go on …you know you want to, it’s got a monster on it! Remember to click the ‘Buy as Tee/Print’ as well as voting, then go tell all your friends to vote also 
Happy to present my daughters Tshirt design entry for the Little Help project competition. Although she was not a winner she did an awesome job of drawing one of her characters ‘Sludgy’ and sending it in! Not only was she the youngest entrant she also is featured on the website as a design worth recognition! Check it out so cool!
Very proud dad off to raid her doodle book for ideas now…
Another T design! This was an extra Limited Edition T design done for the New Zealand Wavesailing Nationals 2009 event. Featuring fiendish sea monsterish waves attackin the helpless competitor as he battles the sometimes extreme Taranaki windsurfing waves!
OK well the conditions didn’t quite live up to expectations unfortunately with only a few small waves around and not much wind…but at least everyone was stoked with their exclusive T!
Can read up more about how the event went over at Deepfried.tv or via the event runner Carbon Art.
Here is my entry to the “peace is…” competition going on over at Social designer. I went with something that focuses on the fun side of things and that the idea of peace is a simple one within everyones reach. And of course the easy to remember message that Peace is truly AWESOME! Head on over to check out the entries and if your feeling generous vote for mine thats if you like of course!
Happy to announce the release of a new charity tshirt design I did for Plunket in conjunction with The H Initiative . Plunket does lots of great work supporting infants, kids and young families so it was great to give something back! It was really fun illustrating this one, can’t wait to see it on running around and covered in dirt
There’s a couple release writeups at Scoop and Fashion New Zealand with a bit more info and even some NZ celebs getting in behind the cause that was featured in New Idea magazine last week!
The Tshirts have just been released for sale in a variety of colours, you can check out New Zealand stockists here for baby and kids sizes. Adult sizes are also available exclusively from The H Initiative (small ones available worldwide from there also). Grab yourself one and an extra one or two for your friends kids now before they all go!
Here is the Tshirt design for this years TWC competition. All entrants got one for free when registering so if your keen on getting one…well might have to wait till next years design and come join the comp! Actually there may be a couple extras so drop me an email if your interested in grabbing one of the last few left.
These were printed with a combination of standard screenprint ink for the black and discharge ink process for the blue and white. Gives the print a nice subtle contrast between the colours texture and keeps that nice soft feel in the larger print areas.

wavesailing new zealand nationals tshirt design 2008
Here is the Tshirt design I did for the New Zealand Wavesailing Nationals 2008. A rare item indeed with only 30 tshirts printed for competing sailors (and the shore crew!). No amount of begging, pleading or bribery will get you one of these I’m afraid! The competition was run over the Easter weekend with some awesome waves and not quite as great wind. Visit Carbon Art news section for a full rundown of the event.
