After completing the website to http://www.torontoink.com I set sail on a journey for some new T-Shirts for these guys. First if you live in Toronto, Canada or surrounding areas…. Check them out! They have done some amazing work!

I had fun designing these shirts. The sky was pretty limitless as to what I could design. So I started out working on one shirt at a time… The first design came to me as I put it together. We already had a general idea for the second shirt. Our idea was a Jersey Shore Workout Shirt that guys could wear to the gym at the same time with a flare! I think we pinned it perfect. So with all that said below are the 2 T-Shirt concepts that will soon be displayed inside Toronto Ink Tattoo Shop and eventually in an Online Store.

In the first shirt I used a halftone for the upper “Toronto” text. As for the Splatter’s I actually went outside and used a can of spray paint and sprayed paper and let the paper dry up and scanned it into illustrator.

The second design I used the pen tool and created the bird. After I created the bird I created everything else around it and used a college font. Afterwards I gave it the washed out look using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Grunge Patterns That are actually grunge’s that I made myself and are available for download in the Photoshop Brushes section or on Brusheezy.
