THE CITY. I never really named this design, but this is what I refer to it now. I spent countless hours perfecting this picture. It was hand drawn, over the course of several weeks. Detailed with a .05 millimeter pilot pen on heavy card stock. THis was to be my very first design for a shirt design for my then fledgling Rock and Roll T-shirt Store. In this blog we will examine this shirt design. First thing, all Black and White. I did this by design and because making it one color was the cheapest way to make my dream come true. One color in silk screening mean only one screen and on one screen charge. And visually to me one color is more appealing and gets your attention. My idea was a White shirt with Black ink. Vision achieved! Next off my list. The subject matter. I added many items to my picture. I will list them and you can find them. Back of a 1 cent penny, world trade center building, UPS truck, Ripleys Believe it or not, Grateful Dead Bear, Nod to Salvidor Dali, nod to MIRO, clock with exact time of drawing, and the 2nd appearance of Our very own Mr MOJO, the headhunter. I only printed 24 of these classic shirts originally. Over the years I have reissued it with very little modifications. This design is by far still my favorite. Look over it and see if you can find my list of items hidden in the picture. Or better yet some not listed. Thank you for looking and reading. Pass this along with your friends. JOE at MOJO!
