Last Hand Drawn T-Shirt Art

 In December I announced that orders/commissions on hand drawn t-shirt art had ended. I may still consider making the odd one if the fee is absolutely astronomical though. Don't hold your breath then.

Here is the last one. Which is a remake/re-imagining of a shirt that was made to mark the publication of the short story collection 'Smoke and Other Tales' by Gerry King in 2015. Here are both shirts.

Hand Drawn T-shirt Greatest Hits!

 I have been making hand drawn, bespoke t-shirt art for quite a few years. The first experiments in this medium were in around 2008. I have been commissioned to make around 200 of these in the years since. However, times change and the project has finally run its course and so any commissions on these end at the end of 2023.

You can still order until then.

I first announced the projects end back in the summer, but that led to surge in interest and so I kept them going for a bit longer.

Here are some of my hand drawn t-shirt 'Greatest Hits', or some of my favourite shirts that I can think of the time of writing.
















2 Joel Lane inspired T-Shirts

 Joel Lane inspired hand drawn T-shirt art made as part of my day long residency at 'The Witnesses Are Here', a day long celebration of the life and work of writer Joel Lane held at Voce Books in Birmingham on the 11th November 2023.

I am ceasing making hand drawn T-shirt art at the end of the year so if anyone out there wants one better be quick!








'The Witnesses Are Here'- Joel Lane Event at Voce Books

I will be making new art all day in response to the talks and the writing of Joel Lane.
