Sorry that it´s been a while - sometimes I have to devote my time to designing new t-shirts for our shops.
The newest "baby" in the shop family is Dark Shirts, devoted gothic style "dark" designs, and grunge style designs.
The shop is not officially open yet - I´m still in the process of making unique new art to fit our style - but I couldn´t resist to give you a teaser, and introduce some of our newest t-shirts. You can visit (and if you find something you can certainly buy ...), but don´t expect a huge selection yet.
Above you see an artistic grunge style design, with a Victorian lady wearing a large hat, grunge swirls, and the word "Fashion" in distressed font. Apart from the obvious grey and black we also included some pretty colors for those with a not-so-dark taste.
Another favourite is our "Eternity Skull" design - we took daVincis´ drawing of a human skull, added a few grunge swirls and vintage ornamentals plus the word "Eternity" in a fancy grunge font. Apart from the dusky blue seen here on a standard tee, we also have lots of other colours and of course - for the gothic geeks - black and dark greys.
Ancient Aztec, Mayan and Mexican glyphs and artwork make great designs for t-shirts. And apparently they are all the rage at the moment - the statcounter on our Art Attack store tells me so anyway.
I have design several t-shirts using the historic art in unique ways.
Shown here is the Hunab Ku glyph, textured in a mix of chrome and blue steel.
According to some early-colonial sources, Hunab Ku, meaning 'Sole God', was the main deity in the Tucatec Mayan panthem. No images existed of Hunab Ku since he was considered to be without visible form. The concept may have been invented to satisfy the Spanish monks. Hunab Ku is, in any case, closely related to the indigenous creator god, Itramna.
The "Hunab Ku" symbol was originally a rectangular symbol used by the Aztecs as a ritual cloak design, known as the Mantle of Lip Plugs (or, arguably, mantle of spider water). The symbol survives today as a rug design being sold in central Mexico, but was associated with the Milky Way and the god Hunab Ku by Arguelles, who changed the symbol to a circular motif. It has become associated with Mayanism.
Combining fractal shapes with metallic 3D elements is the newewst design line in the Art Attack shop.
We picked this windcatcher like design to illustrate the possibilities. A wire mesh oval with a metallic floral centerpiece, decorated with colorful fractal shapes.
In the Fractal Art section you also find designs combining grungy orbs and rings with metallic jewels, flowers and other ornamental elements. The design we picked as an example is an unusually shaped ornament combining rusty rings with sunflower shapes, grungy orbs and metal mesh.
