Hello loyal readers and Happy Easter!

Welcome to my “Easter Eggs” design awards. Today I decided to take a break from the daily shirt grind and hand out some individual awards. Over the last month, there have been a ton of amazing shirts! I wanted take a day to recognize those designs that really made me stop and marvel. Think of it like bringing these designs back to life in the spirit of the Easter Holiday! Enjoy!

Category: I F***ING LOVE THESE SHIRTS!

Okay, so I was really bummed that these shirts didn’t make the cut or fit into any of my categories. Think of these as my “honorable mentions” if you will. The point is, I really love these shirts and I can’t explain why!

I want to give a shout out to ALL the designs I’ve had the pleasure of covering since I started this blog. Without creative talent like the artists featured today, my blog would have no reason to exist. Thanks to all the artists, followers, and anyone who has checked out jjlockhARTdesign. Stay tuned for more daily shirt reviews and coming soon, “from website to doorstep” reviews!

Tall… b-b-blue… With this shirt, you too can be the winner of the Gemini Croquette contest! This realistic render of the Diva has amazing details. The beautiful blue tones flesh out this elegant foreign body. The antiquated yellow and gold on the nouveau background gives the design a wonderful old opera house aesthetic. Bravo!

Thank You Penguinstein

04/03/14 Top 3 Pick; Antique Adventurer

Warning! Do not look directly at this design for too long or you might suffer the same fate from Raiders of the Lost Ark. This design is face-meltingly awesome! The jungle print background is visually intriguing. Indiana Jones’ silhouette is handled in two different poses but both flow organically on one another. His bright orange sidekick in the foreground brings out the orange tones in the upper part of the design, making the eyes venture around.

04/03/14 Top 3 Pick; The Great Fox Four

Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy are all here. There’s no other team I’d rather fly with into an asteroid field! Wonderful use of color to create depth of field. The use of that bright yellow jumps out against the blues. The line work in the design is beautiful and humanist. Just don’t forget to do a barrel roll!

Thank You Nicole Martin
