My shirt design up for scoring on Threadless

A little over a week ago I submitted my Monster Sushi illustration for a t-shirt design over at Threadless. It’s been approved for scoring and I would really appreciate it if you head on over there to vote! A high overall score helps the Threadless team in deciding which shirts to print and a printed design wins the designer $2000 freakin’ dollars. That’s big money when converted to Pesos; equivalent to around seven months worth of rent on my condo!

So please vote and vote 5 ;) You will need to register after voting (if you don’t already have an account with them) to make your vote count. Registering isn’t that much of a drag because Threadless is a cool site anyway where you can rate fantastic shirt designs and if they get printed, you have the option to buy the shirt(s) you voted for. So head on over there and vote for Monster Sushi!

In the seven years that I’ve had this name and domain, I never once made an attempt to design a logo or identity either for myself or my website. There were fleeting thoughts of designing one, maybe three or four times over the seven-year period, but they were merely faint, half-baked ideas I discarded as fast as they came to me.

So it came as a bit of a surprise when I sat down in front of my laptop this evening, surveyed my website header, mused at how plain it looked without a little icon or graphic next to it when boom– before I realized what I was doing, a logo was born. Just like that. Still have to tweak a few things to suit my taste but the concept is there.

I like moments like this, when inspiration comes up from nowhere and chucks an idea right at you.
