Hello everyone it's A.D.Wilson
In this section of my On-Line Art Portfolio, I am showcasing on a project that I had developed nearly two summer ago, when I was talking to some of my family members and some old close friends of mine, who asked me if I have ever tried to develop some graphic designs for T-Shirts.
The idea did pop up in my mind several times before and I do clearly remember when I was in Junior High School, and my old printing class teacher (his name escapes me right now) but I do remember the teacher that he knew several friends of his, when they were young freshman college kids during the late 1960's, that they had knew some of the guys who were making Psychedelic Posters for independent rock groups.
And some of this teacher's friends also had some of those Psychedelic silk-screened t-shirts that were custom made, while the teacher was busy talking about the incident--someone had asked him if any of his friends had saved any of those t-shirts....Well, my old print shop teacher told me that they had either lost those shirts or they might have out-grown them.
When I had attended S.V.A. (School of Visual Arts) I had many excellent classes in which I had learned many different types of artistic techniques which is highly important to graphic designers and traditional illustrators who use various traditional old-school visual artistic methods.
After taking some time to learn about the different types of Silk-Screening, I became highly interested in using my graphic design and traditional illustrator skills to make my own T-Shirts. And soon after that, I drawing and designing images like crazy--just to see what images would make a great T-Shirt image....and it paid off.
In this section of my On-Line Art Portfolio, I am going to show some of the T-Shirts that I had created nearly two summers ago, I had created the graphic designs either by hand or by computer. All of the T-Shirts were professionally silk-screened, and I was only concentrating on two basic colors (Black & white) and all of the T-Shirts were printed on Large men's 100% pure cotton t-shirts.
When I had completed T-Shirts and started selling them in the street in Harlem, the Bronx and Queens, they sold very well- especially the Christian T-shirt and the Retro image of BLACK POWER and my AMERICAN EAGLE and SHIELD. At this point of time, I still have some of these T-Shirts available. If you're interested in buying a T-Shirt, then please send me an email message and I will let you know about the price and everything else. These T-Shirts are for BOTH MEN & WOMEN.
Very soon, I will be adding some more my T-Shirt designs.
