Teefury

art work is great! congrats. not something i would like to wear.

nice crow, jimi!

time flies between jimi shirts!

Great design.

Too bad I can't wear black shirts due to my dog.

love birds. excellent.

this is a great design. i almost didn't catch the skull on the crow's chest.

Neat to see this sketch turned into a shirt! Nicely done. :D

ok i'm trying to figure out the time, since the drawing doesn't have one.
my guess is 7.25
anyone?

Ack. Another bird.

Yes, my kinda of tee. You also however get my vote as my hubby would love your DBH tee and I would love a chance at a sketch. Ok, I confess I've been trying to vote for your tee for a week but I can't remember my password. Will take care off as soon as I order this tee.

I literally hate birds... a lot. I do kinda like bird shirts though - well, I used to. I am over it now. I have my 5 or 6 shirts with birds on them and I'm done. I'd like to see this mark the end of the bird shirt thing. The artwork is great though.

Great artwork! Congrats.

man you are on a roll

I love this shirt... absolutely gorgeous

nice! here is to hoping for the second sketch next :)

hi!

thanks everyone. & thanks L A Y N E!

did ya'll know Layne has a blog? i found it today!

http://laynehunter.tumblr.com/ - neat stuff

Great design- quick design-y question for jimi: when you put your graphite designs on a tee, do you halftone them, or do you leave that sorta stuff up to the printer?

TeeFury does the seps, so I dont have to worry about em.

BUT, in my sep artist experience, if the printer has a RIP, which is a machine that halftones grayscale data, all that the sep artist would have to do on this one would be copy paste invert into a channel and send it to the printer. Maybe a little tweak with levels.

Although, anything with subtle tone gradations like this design would benefit from making 2-3 screens of highlight white, midtone gray, dark gray. That would need to be done by using levels.

Once each of the tones were extracted by levels, it would not take much effort to halftone it with very accurate representation.

I received my teefury Bird Paisley design in the mail today. I was actually impressed at the separations. Very smooth, very close to digital representation with slight degradation on intensity of color. I had given them a raster image full of gradients.

Man Jimiyo, you are on fire.

Damm, I'm really on the fence about this one.

ha Rocko.

im pretty sure i wont take this one and sell it to a client. whereas the other ones that have been printed, are most likely getting rehashed to another client.

you should go ahead and get it. i found their shirts to be thick, yet soft. you need a quality tee for the winter. ;j

I'm not a fan of this inverted thing.. I would have much rather liked to see something like this




congrats on the print though

nuice, congrats man! I would love to get that drawing of your dbh design framed up on the wall, more then on a tee, but seriously you are making it now, the famous jimiyo.

i tend to agree with simplysped a little on this one

taddict/simplysped: Layne and I were just trying out a new aesthetic. I actually kinda like it because it's a break from the norm for me. I haven't done an inverted image since 2006. I think I'm going to pursue the sketchy natural media style though. If I don't have to clean up my lines in PS, what an awesome reduction in creation time, as well as being closer to something I wish I did more, which is actually draw.

Arrow: ha. i wouldnt say famous. i do think though... wow... what if I kept this type of consistent exposure and kept pumping out the jimiyo artist persona for a couple years and expanded my outlets to magazines/gallery/etc. then... i could well be on my way to becoming "famous" for whatever that means.

Awesome, thanks for the response- I've been a bit paranoid about designing anything that I haven't already separated into nice clean blocks of colour, but that's really good to know- cheers!

Your designs flow and connect together really well. They'd make for awesome tattoos (if someone could recreate them). Amazing job!

Ordered for my daughter :) That's 2 bird shirts from Wootand this one now - lol :)

Great stuff as usual. Your DBH sub got my vote last week...so good.

I am constantly amazed at the sheer abundance of your talent. Congrats on a cool print. Good luck at DBH. :)

Black shirt, unusual image, Jimiyo, nine bucks -- this was an easy decision.

Cool shirt! Not really for me as I don't go for creepy birds...or birds really at all. But I did send it to a family member and they ended up getting one.

reminds me of Jeremy from The Secret of NIMH

they should bring this shirt back cuz i want one
