Concrete Spreader Hot Rod Goon T-Shirt Sketch

Concrete Riding Trowel Hot Rod Lowbrow Cartoon T Shirt Sketch Coghill

Limited palette sketch for a t-shirt illustration project. The client requested a concrete riding trowel with a character riding it like a hot rod. I went with the classic hot rod goon approach to the character and a fun, loose style to the line art.

I went with a limited palette to keep the screen printing costs down (just 2 inks used here, black and white on a red shirt). I’ve had a lot of fun working with these reduced color drawings lately, and I find they help focus and tighten up the art. They also just look super cool with less colors!

This project never went past the sketch stage, the client went MIA on me but I really liked this sketch and had to share it.

Upcoming Kickstarter Campaign: Glow-In-The-Dark Ghost Stuff!

Ghost Patch Sneak Peek Kickstarter

Ghost Patch Sneak Peek Kickstarter

My next Kickstarter campaign — tentatively scheduled for January or February of 2016 — is going to feature glow-in-the-dark items all centering on a ghost theme.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on items for this campaign (glow-in-the-dark items are tricky to source) and am currently working on finalizing the art for not one but two separate patch designs, and all the other related items which will be revealed in due time.

Subscribers to my email newsletter get first look at upcoming campaign artwork, as well as the heads up on exclusive day one Kickstarter rewards. I’m also working plans for subscriber-only patch campaigns. As well as free art, free downloads, the best coupon codes for my Etsy shop, and more. Subscribe now!
