The t-shirts I have posted are representations of how I can work on different media. I plan to develop this further by designing cd covers, book covers and anything else I think needs my crazy designs.

Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) was an American actress who was seen by many as the ultimate sex goddess of Hollywood. Artists such as Peter Blake and Andy Warhol used stars such as Marilyn to give pop a rich iconography. In a way pop stars, pin ups and stars of rock 'n' roll became obsessive expressions of mass culture.

Milk 2010
As in the 1950s when Pop Art embraced consumer culture, everyday branded objects became art that everyone could buy. Objects such as the Coca-Cola bottle were cheap enough for everyone to buy resulting in commercial mass production of the product. This can also be seen in Andy Warhols' 'Campbell's Soup Cans' each one of which was available to the consumer. In some ways this is very similar with items such as milk because it is a mass produced product and can be bought by any-one rich or poor.

During the 1950s Pop Art became extremely popular with many artists' paying particular attention to the consumer culture. Much of the artwork from the time portrayed brand name products such as Coca Cola and Campbell's Soup cans. However attention was also being paid to comic strip characters such as Mickey Mouse and movie/music stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.
Drogba!!
Didier Drogba is one of the stars of football that I am looking forward to watching at the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa. He is such a powerful and explosive footballer, which makes him one of the most valuable strikers in the world. I created this design by using print and collage with his beard and country logo being applied using acrylic paint.
