Mondo Brain Damage 2012 Shirt Series

so, this past year i worked on a shirt series for mondo. mitch putnam came to me and asked if i'd be interested in working with some other artists on a series of shirts, and slowly it came together, and they are available here.

i thought i'd do a short writeup about each one, just so people know how they came about.

- Snowbeast by Arik Roper
arik imagined a medieval version of a familiar snowbeast, putting his own iconic spin on it.

- Brute Squad by Boneface
boneface found inspiration in the mad max universe, a post apocalyptic type dude. just a cool punk mashup that i enjoyed.

- Discovery by Dan Black of Landland
dan and i talked about the things i liked from his previous work, and he can really do fun sketches of gadgets and make patterns out of them. so he came up with this and it just clicked.

- Helping Hands by Richey Beckett

richey came up with a few different options, all awesome. and we went with this version and the detail was just great, just a cool idea well executed.

- Berserker by me

pulling obvious inspiration from the classic 80's movie "Mac and Me", i thought it'd be fun to draw the original Berserker.

- Brain Damage by me
the idea that started it all actually. i did a design for fun and the mondo guys thought it could make a fun shirt, and this series was born.

- Navigator by me
again, just a snapshot from a movie universe that isn't anything specific, just something you'd imagine lived in that universe. 'the one that got away.'

-Surf Seoul by me
i always liked those T&C Surf shirt designs growing up, so this was kinda my attempt at something like that.

so, hopefully people enjoy them, we had some fun putting them together and i believe mondo might even be working on more with other artists down the road, something to look forward to.

thanks again - tyler
