Hey, it’s May 1st. Who’s excited about Age of Ultron?!?! I am definitely watching this movie this weekend. I just have to find a babysitter or sneak out and not tell my husband. 🙂

5/1/15 Top Pick; Iron Tron

Color – Awesome glowing red flame and cool blue light effect.

Content – Nice mash-up concept with Tron.

Thank You djkopet

Buy This Shirt! Iron Tron

Another movie I’m excited to watch this summer!

5/1/15 Top Pick; From the Ashes of This World

Color – BeastPop’s color schemes are aways radical! His designs aways POP.

Composition – Amazing artist! I love watching his process through Facebook. His compositions are aways very active, exciting, and well-balanced.

Thank You BeastPop

Buy This Shirt! From the Ashes of This World

Loving the season so far, but glad I haven’t read the books. The season sounds like it has been veering significantly away from the books.

5/1/15 Top Pick; The Last Hand Standing

Composition – Interesting combination of image and type. The type acts almost like part of the image.

Lines & Forms – Great simplified render of the Game of Thrones characters. I really enjoy how very little info is given in the background to reveal the characters.

Thank You Laughing Devil

1/21/15 Top Pick; Dark City

Composition – Wonderful play with positive and negative space. Like most of Kharmazero’s designs, it is composed of simple dark or negative space against a wash of exciting color as the positive space. I love that this designer is not afraid of stark contrast and he utilizes it wonderfully.

Color – The contrasting light and dark colors nicely develop the design. The radiating reds, yellows, and oranges create an attractive field for the dark city landscape.

Thank You Kharmazero

Buy This Shirt! Dark City

1/21/15 Top Pick; Never Say Die

Lines & Forms – What a beauty! This designer’s female figures are breathtakingly gorgeous with an easily recognizable style. I love the thick wavy strips of hair. His typical big eyed beauties never fail to impress. I absolutely love the thick outlines and waving banners giving his designs a tattoo style appearance. As a part-time body piercer at a tattoo shop, I encounter this style on a regular basis. His lines, drawings, and sketches, which he frequently shares on Facebook, are just a beautiful!

Color – The wonderful shading technique nicely develops the forms and thus very little color is necessary.

Thank You Tim Shumate

07/01/2014 Top Picks – Daily Shirt Designs

July 2, 2014 | jjlockhartdesign

Good and evil. Light and dark. Positive and negative. Day and night. Any of these dichotomies could describe the relationship between adoptive brothers Thor and Loki. I present this conflict today in the form of two designs.

It’s not hard to imagine Loki embracing his power and status among the ancient civilizations is it? With that charm, wit, and cunning one couldn’t help but feel the presence of a god.

07/01/14 Top Pick; Loki-Tut

Composition – Bold, well-balanced render of this God of Mischief.

Texture – I love the repeated horizontal lines in this design creating dynamic patterns. The small intricate lines create a variety of textures throughout the design. I especially enjoy the circular lines in the horns.

Thank You Jimiyo

Buy This Shirt! Loki-Tut

The metaphorical “light in the darkness” comes through here quite literally with the God of Thunder, Thor! While he may not be able to match Loki’s brains, he makes up for it with his formidable brawn. He also has a great butt, just ask Natalie Portman. 😛

07/01/14 Top Pick; God of Thunder Returns

Composition – Beautiful and dynamic angle. The figure is also in a great action pose.

Color – Wonderful use of positive and negative space. I really enjoy the teal thin outline around the negative space figure. The bright stark thunder bolt creates a wonderful contrast against the dark scene.

Thank You Six Eyed Monster

06/23/14 Top Pick; Guardian of Gotham

“The Hero Gotham Deserves”

Composition – Wonderful dynamic angles. I really enjoy all the complex geometric planes.

Color – Nice expression of space using a simple mono blue scale.

Thank You MAGMATA

Buy This Shirt! Guardian of Gotham

06/23/14 Top Pick; Guardian of Metropolis

The Man of Steel substitutes a man made out of steel.

Composition – Great use of geometric planes giving the design a deco aesthetic.

Concept – This design is very similar to the original Metropolis design only the robot is appropriately altered into Superman.

Thank You MAGMATA

Buy This Shirt! Guardian of Metropolis

06/23/14 Top Pick; Spinner of Spells

“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But… before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger, on the spindle of a spinning wheel – AND DIE!”

Composition – I really enjoy the large dragon image behind the beautiful villain. The heavy purple areas nicely balance Maleficent’s figure.

Lines and Forms – Great use of positive and negative spaces to render various details within the design.

Color – I really enjoy the bright purple with the small bright green accents.

Thank You Harantula

Buy This Shirt! Spinner of Spells

06/23/14 Top Pick; Wildling Encounter

Concept – Interesting mash-up of characters.

Lines and Forms – I really enjoy the cute little anime style render of both characters. I also really enjoy the negative space that details the trees in the background, also creating a nice field of depth.

Thank You TeeTurtle

Buy This Shirt! Wildling Encounter

06/23/14 Top Pick; Gamma Rays

Concept – Interesting design which visually portrays the smaller Bruce figure trapped within the larger Hulk figure.

Color – I really enjoy the limited amount of color use to portray the infamous Hulk. The negative space figure within needs no introduction.

Lines and Forms – The long thin refracted hazy lines are a great way of visually showing the rays. They nicely delineate the Incredible Hulk.

Thank You Steven Lefcourt

Buy This Shirt! Gamma Rays

06/23/13 Top Pick; Watch the World Burn

Composition – Wonderful compositions on the front and back of the shirt! The front has a great sense of dimension. Joker seem to pop out of the background. The back of the shirt in beautifully intricate and balanced and nicely relates to the front of the shirt.

Lines and Forms – Wonderful amount of line work. Delicate and complex, the devil is in the details ;). Joker’s long grin is jaw dropping.

Typography – If I didn’t follow this awesome artist of Facebook, I wouldn’t have seen her hand drawn sketches. Her letter forms look this good in her sketches!

Thank You Medusa the Dollmaker

Sorry folks! I didn’t like any shirts yesterday. But today is a new day! Here are my Top Picks:

06/04/14 Top Pick; Hold Me Thrill Me

Composition – Great bold block design. Their strong embrace is centered within the block created by the heavy text. The diagonal rain lines nicely break the square to create a larger square giving the design dimension.

Color – Although the design is in black and white, the variety of lines give it color. Catwoman’s dark suit and black background is balanced nicely with Batman’s suit and the heavy text.

Thank You Weekly Shirts

Buy This Shirt! Hold Me Thrill Me

06/04/14 Top Pick; Infinite Who

Composition – Nicely balanced triangular-shaped design. The text sits nicely on the pyramid’s base in a tattoo style banner.

Color – I really enjoy the shades of blue used. The blues look great with the light cool cream color. I really enjoy the light bright blue highlights making the design glow.

Typography – The type is probably the reason why I like this shirt so much. I really enjoy how the word “Who” was created. The Doctor Who components are expertly placed in the negative spaces to create the letters forms. I also really enjoy the tattoo style script in the banner.

Thank You Victorsbeard
