These next pictures and illustrations are from “Daddy was a Jewel Thief” which was part of the BloodSweatVector Exhibition which is found at the West Berlin Gallery. The vibrancy and colours found in this work alongside the cuteness and sweet nature of the characters, show a real personality and fun.

These next images i came across through a wallpaper giveaway, all of which sit in my wallpaper folder and often brighten up my desktop.

Awesomely Designed Band T-shirts

I’d be willing to bet you remember the first band t-shirt you ever owned. You might even remember whether it was rock-on love at first sight at the Khol’s you’ve just been dragged around 3 times by your mother, that you just HAD TO HAVE, or if it was a gift from the uncle that your family doesn’t really talk to too much anymore, probably for the same reasons that he just gave you an ABBA t-shirt for your 13th birthday. I remember mine, I was actually 15 and was rockin’ out to a local band at a small venue in NY. The folded, utilitarian dark blue and chartreuse T, brandishing the clever band name across the chest spoke to me of it’s originality and truth.  “Circadian Rhythm” it said in handwritten typographic glory. I wore that shirt till it relinquished it’s seams and stitches and fell to the ground in a tattered clump the last time I went to put it on.

Here is a selection beautiful shirts I’ve found over the past few days that demonstrate the artistry and passion that are behind the music I love. Thanks Jared, for letting me contribute!
