Tron - End of Line

Disney’s Tron is one of my top 10 movies of all time. Now, you might say “What the hell, it’s not that good” and you would be right. But that movie sparked my interest in computers and that led me into my IT career. And for that I will always be grateful. The antagonist in Tron is the evil Master Control Program (MCP) and he (it) attempts to control the activities of all programs in the system....

Harlem Heroes - Distressed

Distressed t-shirts are very popular just now. I personally prefer the all natural distressed look, i.e. keep wearing the t-shirt until it starts to wear out! But I realise some folk don’t like that. So with that in mind, here is a distressed version of my Harlem Areoball design, my tribute to 2000 AD’s Harlem Heroes, the greatest aeroball team in the galaxy. ‘Harlem Heroes - Distressed’ at Teepublic ‘Harlem Heroes - Distressed’ at Redbubble

Vintage Misanthrope

I am a bit of a misanthrope. I don’t have a lot of faith in humans or humanity to do the right thing. I am also fairly old. Put those two things together and you get “Vintage Misanthrope”! Vintage Misanthrope T-Shirt at Teepublic Vintage Misanthrope T-Shirt at Redbubble

Harlem Heroes Pride

Inspired by 2000 AD’s Harlem Heroes is this design for a Pride variant Harlem Heroes Aeroball club logo. As a kid, I loved the Harlem Heroes in 2000AD. It was my favourite strip in the first prog and I read it again and again and again. You can get this design at my Redbubble and Teepublic storefronts.

The Doggie Collection - Kessie the labrador retriever

I have created some designs celebrating some of the wonderful dogs I have known. First up is Kessie, a black labrador. Kessie was a rescue, she came to use overweight and timid. I will never forget the look on her face when we took her to the park for the first and let her off to run around. She was so, so, so happy. Kessie was an absolutely adorable dog. She hardly gave us any trouble....

Newfoundland Sayings - Barmp Barmp!

Barmp! Barmp! is how Newfoundlanders refer to the beeping or honking of cars. I often hear the wife say ‘Did they barmp me?’ or ‘Should I barmp them?’ and according to her it’s a Newfoundland thing. You can get this on a t-shirt at my Redbubble storefront Newfoundland Sayings - Barmp! Barmp! at Redbubble

2022 UEFA Nations League

I’ve been watching lots of the UEFA Nations League games recently. Where I am, in Canada, they are being show on the DAZN network. Every. Single. Game. For a football fan like myself, that is just fantastic. It’s like wall-to-wall football. Stripes have been a focus of mine recently, what with the Dumbarton FC stripes collection and the 70s retro stripes so I thought I’d do some stripes designs inspired by the various countries in the UEFA Nations League games that I’ve watched....

Dumbarton FC 70s Vertical Stripes

This design is inspired by the famous 1970s Dumbarton FC black-and-gold stripes but vertical rather than horizontal. It’s a design that I have always loved, much better than the mainly yellow/gold strips that were used w hen I was a lad. You can get this design on several products over at my Redbubble storefront.
