Artwork: Dying for Love and One Love Designs

Dying for Love

“Dying for Love” is a goofy visual pun inspired by Valentines Day.

One Love, One Hope, One Voice calligraphy lettering by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

This design is inspired by a phrase in Bob Marley’s song, “One Love”, but expanded to include the text “One Love, One Hope, One Voice.” It’s done in a grungy fashion, and incorporates my urban calligraphy. It’s based on the inclusive attitude of the hip-hop and reggae musical communities. The shirts are available for men and women HERE.

Cartoon Girl with an Axe

Cartoon Girl with an Axe TEE SHIRT is a fun little project inspired by all those hours of watching animated characters frolic on the screen. Part of my Happy Insanity series, this is also inspired by Emily the Strange, Ruby Gloom, and Happy Tree Friends.

This was first conceptualized in my sketchbook, then went straight to the computer as I had a pretty clear vision–just pure vector shapes in Adobe Illustrator.

Tiki Surfer Shirt

This shirt design is a slight remake of a piece I did over the summer. The inspiration of this were the grocery bag designs from Trader Joe’s (with their kitchy Tiki characters eating popsicles), Tiki culture, and Hawaiian surfers.

Tons of Luv: Kids Version


Luckily, I got my hands on a shirt that was purchased by my buddy, Diana. Through my t-shirt line, “Happy Insanity” at http://www.zazzle.com/shaireproductions*, I’ve been able to see my designs morph with different t-shirt styles and colors. “Tons of Luv” is an example of this. Originally designed for a dark background shirt, she chose a kid’s ringer style shirt, giving it an extra flair. It’s pretty fun seeing what others’ preferences and how the designs adapt to different visual treatments.

The artwork was created by hand, then scanned and recreated in Adobe Illustrator. It’s available as an art print from my Etsy Shop or tshirt on Zazzle

I happened to be watching the lovely Kat von D’s LA Ink when I came up with this. This was also a homage to old school sailor tattoos–Ed Hardy-esque.
