DOLLARS 4 DEGREES

Did this as a favor for a co-worker, she needed a graphic for a group project she was working on.

CAMPUS CONNECT: CHICAGO TRIP

CAMPUS CONNECT: HARRY POTTER EVENT

To promote this movie field trip, I paid close attention to Harry Potter mythology in order to create a genuine visual experience for fans of the franchise. I reinvented the logos of the three SBA properties as medieval-inspired dormitory banners, similar to those used in the movies. The newspaper page is loaded with Harry Potter trivia. There is also a nod to the UW-Madison football team hidden in the Quidditch stats.

CAMPUS CONNECT: HOOFERS' RAIL JAM

STU LIKES SUSHI

A friend of mine had this photo of his roommates' cat and wanted me to clean it up enough to print and frame as a digital painting, to give them as a gift. I enlarged the photo to print resolution and painted on top of it to give it an artistic feel.

WOOT SHIRT: PHOBIAS

Derby.

CAMPUS CONNECT: ROOMMATE MIXER

Having fun with Lucky's elephant mascot.

WOOT SHIRT: MEME MASHUP!

Derby. This design won an Honorable Mention award from Woot and a Best Loser Award.

JmmBell1987 nominated me for the Best Loser, and said:

"In a derby full of half-hearted traces and slapdash, mindless designs, Eshto's 'Ultimate Wisdom' stood out. It's a clever piece that's based around a funny theme, not on slapping a few memes onto a shirt and calling it a day. Not to mention, its art deco design and colors make the whole thing quite visually striking."

CAMPUS CONNECT: MOVE IN FLYER

A simple, straightforward flyer that pays attention to corporate identity. These were the colors Lucky was using on its website at the time.

WOOT SHIRT: CRYPTOZOOLOGY REDUX

Derby. I had to watch an episode of Jersey Shore to research this. It was excruciating.

WOOT SHIRT: KAWAI!!!!!!!!

Kawaii is a "cuteness" style of cartooning and illustration associated with Japanese culture. Derby.

VG ICONS: MS. PAC-MAN

WOOT SHIRT: SPRING

Derby.

INTERVIEW: BESTLOSERS.COM

I was interviewed by BestLosers.com, a website that tracks Shirt.woot activity.

INTERVIEW

WOOT SHIRT: HOW DO THEY WORK?

How Wack-a-Mole works.

WOOT SHIRT: EARTH DAY

A re-imagining of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss:

WOOT SHIRT: CLASSIC LIT MASHUP

Noah's Ark meets giant squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea:
3rd place/766 votes - PRINTED!! :D

The Tell-Tale Heart of Darkness:
9th place/442 votes

I was really happy with both of these. My first time in the fog (top nine) and both made it in, and my first printing!

WOOT SHIRT: CLASSIC COMICS STYLE

Derby.

This design was awarded an Honorable Mention and Best Loser Award.

DHouse87 nominated me for the Best Loser, stating:

"SERIOUSLY! All of the veteran woot artists have commented on this shirt, not to mention the fact that it's perfectly on style and the artist followed the theme. I've been following this artist since his entry on shirt.woot over a month ago and he's had some stellar designs that are consistently of high quality."

WOOT SHIRT: THE LETTER S

WOOT SHIRT: MADNESS

My third shirt.woot derby.

For the first one I began with the strange flower and pretty much scribbled mindlessly over it, thinking about frustration. The whale murdering the giant squid was inspired by playing Endless Ocean 2 for the Wii, and thinking about how animals kill each other but we don't see that as "madness", it is part of the natural order and we assume non-human animals are morally neutral.

WOOT SHIRT: BAND NAMES

My second shirt.woot entry. Challenge was based on band names.

WOOT SHIRT: RUB FOR LUCK

My first attempt at designing a t-shirt for shirt.woot!

The weekly theme was "luck". I thought about how people rub things for luck, like the Budai (Fat Buddha) belly and rabbits' feet. And I thought it would be cute on a shirt, and would invite people to come up and rub you.
