Thriller by Eown
A zombie t-shirt as a hommage of the great MJ. The designer will explain.
Hi Eown, nice to see you around!
All the same for me!
What is the story behind “Thriller” and how did you get the idea?
I was looking for cult scenes in movies like my previous designs with Pulp Fiction and Bruce Lee … Then I thought about the music video for Thriller.
I guess you are fan of Michael Jackson: what is your favorite album and song of his?
I’m not a unconditional fan of Michael Jackson but I like listening to him now and then. My favorite song is Thriller and I think it is because of the video.
Could you please draw a snowberry?

Digital ruins our life by emberplastik
A cassette design t-shirt for all nostalgics. Explanation from its designer.
Hi Emberplastik,
Please introduce yourself to those who do not know you yet? How and why did you get into graphic design?
Hi! My name Yoshi Andrian, emberplastik is my pseudo name which means plastic bucket. I started to fall in love with visual graphics ever since I could draw. I’ve worked as graphic designer from my college years to get extra money until now as my main job.
What is the story of “Digital ruins our life” and how did you get the idea?
I just love the shape of classic cassettes and how the graphics can be added to it. By its unique shape, I think there are still a lot of original ways to add graphics to cassettes to make them look more appealing. Unfortunately, it won’t happen because the cassette era is over. So this design is my visualization of hope to bring the cassettes back …. the shape of CD’s are sooo boring…
Do you own any vinyl records and did you keep your old tapes? Do you have a favourite set list of 5 songs?
It’s not easy to get vinyl in my country, Indonesia. I left my cassettes at my parent’s house and haven’t checked ‘em out until now
5 favorite songs from my cassettes.

Easy way by diekave
This fun t-shirt will show you the easiest way to go? diekave will explain…
Hi diekave, nice to see you around!
Hi, nice to see you too
What is the story of “easy way” and how did the idea come to you?
I got the idea when I found a picture of a maze on the internet, then I thought about how to make a design around mazes and finally I found this clever mouse and the cheese.
Do you have mouse traps in your house?
No, I don’t have any! I haven’t found any mice in my house yet, maybe because there isn’t any cheese there. If they come, I’ll run away!
Have you seen the movie “Ratatouille”? Did you like it and what do you think of such stories?
Yes, it was a great movie. A great story and really awesome 3D picture quality. I love all the Pixar movies.
Could you please draw us a snowberry please?

Now what? by vomaria
A fun retro t-shirt design for turtle fans, lets hear what vomaria has to tell us!
Hi Vomaria,
Could you briefly introduce yourself for those who don’t know you? How did you get into graphic design and why?
Hi everybody, I’m a Brazilian graphic designer and I use my own great-grandmother as my avatar. She is an inspiration for everybody I know, so I could think of nothing better than using her as my creative inspiration. I used to draw since I was this:
And then I entered a graphic design school to develop some further skills.
What is the story of “Now What” and how did the idea come to you?
First, I am very critical. I tend to find the “mistakes” in movies and cartoons, and laugh about them. I like to wonder how these fantastic things from my childhood would behave in the real world, in a real situation, where a very simple stumbling would cause a lot of damage. In this case, they would need other heroes to rescue them.
So you like the ninja Turtles? Did you own one as a child?
I love them, yes! Besides, my real name is Rafael, as one of them and I used to play with my brother holding forks to simulate his weapon in the cartoon. Lots of fun! In fact, I’ve never had a ninja turtle, they are hard to catch. This is how ninjas are.
Be creative by Oxyd-Cygo
A dark humour t-shirt with a fishbowl on it, Oxyd-Cygo is explaining.
Hi Oxyd, nice to see you again.
It’s a pleasure. Let’s get a coffee or a beer, or both?!
What is the story behind “Be creative” and how came the idea to you?
The idea was to glorify creativity. It could have had another title. I wanted it to be funny and a little bit cynical. At first it was a human who tired himself to a stone in a pond with air balloons on his feet. Then I replaced the human with a fish out of the water. So I sketched it again and again and then the idea came out. Thanks to the strawberry community that made remarks on the first submission.
Have you ever owned a goldfish?
Yes sometimes I have one or two. I can see the three of us, just talking and having a conversation with some liquor. In the past I had 3 cats and a hen but they would not replace these two marvelous creatures.
Could you please finish the sentence with a drawing ? Crocus in the meadow ….
… Gets ready for riding
