03. Jeanine Chiu - tee-shirts

01. Thomas Kinkade believes that every household should own a painting of his. I take this one step further by creating a t-shirt that features a Paint By Numbers version of the first Google Image search of his paintings. This t-shirt can be marketed in two ways: 1) as featured above, where the unfinishedness is part of the end product, or 2) where a blank copy is packaged with a set of paints and paintbrush that will allow the consumer to paint in the shirt him / herself, thereby providing a truly paint-by-numbers recreation of Kinkade's work.


02. We at 202 Power affectionately call our house The Garlic Spot because everyone loves it and uses copious amounts of it in our cooking. This image was hand-drawn before being scanned and photoshopped to create an intimate, home-made feel that is reflected in the colour palette.

03. Inspired by swine flu and reports by Egyptian media last May that swine flu features "pigs that explode" (part of an extended metaphor of swine flu as terrorist), this t-shirt design plays on the phrase "swine flu" (swine flew) by featuring flying pigs... on/in a bomb. =O
