Wollaston Market

Yesterday I had a stall at St. James Church Hall in Wollaston and it was a great way to start to a day! It was from 10a.m till 2p.m and the weather was perfect for passers by to come have a quick nose at all the items available. 

This was the first of hopefully many monthly flea markets for Carnaby's Markets and some of the proceeds were even donated to the local primary school to help underprivileged children to go on school trips.

It was the first time I had showcased my latest items such as the Awesome Tee & WTF Beanie, here's some images I took of my stall. 

Everyone had a smile on their face (probably due to the weather as spring is finally here!) plus it was such a great turn out especially as it was the first market. Thanks to everyone who came to say hi, hopefully I'll see some of you again very soon!

AWESOME

So the latest T-shirt design is currently available for pre order - Awesome :)

This is how the concept was developed into the final design. 

One night I wanted to design a crest style image and thought "Well I want it to look awesome obviously, what shall I draw that's awesome?" So I popped onto Facebook and asked my friends to list things that they thought were awesome. Here's some of the list:

Turtles, cheese on toast, anyone called Joe, giraffes, tree frogs, a wolf, owls, ninjas, pirates, robots, jet packs, ghosts, Pokemon, tattoos, zombies, swords, dragons, a phoenix, ice cream.....etc

1. I started off with the shield and two mirrored T-Rexs holding it. Then the two mermaids were added, I didn't want these to match. A basic scroll banner was also added.

2. A pair of robots were placed behind the T-rexs, they're based on the wind up toy ones. The scroll changed size and position.

3. The shield had some items added to it - my sugar skulls, an anchor, lightning bolts, and a tattoo style rose. Awesome was added to the scroll.

4. I changed the shield around as I didn't like the composition inside. I moved the anchor to one of the mermaid's arms as a tattoo, plus I gave the other one an eye patch to make her pirate-like. The owl was also added.

FINAL. A diamond was used to fill the gap between the owl and the scroll and a small Poke-ball was added between the two T-rex. Stars filled up the gap in the shield plus I changed one of the mermaid's hairstyle. Then everything was neatened up for the final vector file.

I drew stages 1-4 on my iPad using an app called iDraw, the final was neatened up in Illustrator. This is the first time I have used my iPad to design the whole thing. 

Thanks to everyone who helped add to the list. See if you can spot the ninja ;)
