Rejected Shirt Design

rejected_mountain-fight-face
Earlier in the year, I was asked to submit a T-shirt design for Transworld Snowboarding Mag. I came across this image recently and realized that it has never seen the light of day, so I thought I’d post it on here and give it a world premiere.

I think the design was pretty cool, with the whole big snow demon face / fight scene dual image thing going on. It was to be in relation to the Angry Interns page, and I think it suits the ‘aesthetic attitude’ pretty well. I tried to have it formatted to fit as a full frontal T-shirt print. Colour was never added, but it probably would have been had the image been approved.

But alas, it never came to be. Word on the street was that HQ needed to approve of it and that was the last I heard. Nothing ever came of it, though I sort of wish it did, as I think it could look ultra cool on anyone’s shirt. But I am biased.

Maybe I should just print it myself. Is there demand out there?

    Neat neat, Josh. I was just looking at the work of another illustrator I really care about, James Quigley. Goes by the name of Gunsho. Turns out he's a Transworlder, too. SHOCKING. Look up his stuff?

    The illustration is great. I would wear one proudly, as I’m sure would many others. Go for it!

    man, this piece is fantastic ! I’m cutting back on t-shirt wearing unfortunately, but I bet this could become a popular one. post it up on threadless or other t-shirt websites, or print it yourself, sure !
