Today's #WeeklyTshirt wasn't scheduled but I just had to make it for myself. The Orion space capsule is silhouetted against the far side of the moon.

Live long and rock on. Today's #WeeklyTshirt is my most straightforward design so far. Simple block print, no text, one-color. Maybe some day I'll wear it to a Star One concert in Tilburg. Hope you dig it!

See, the joke is that astronomy classifies any element besides hydrogen and helium as a metal. Oxygen? Metal. Carbon? Metal. Everything? Metal.

This is "A Gross of Goblins," literally 144 goblins. I prepped a bunch of vector blobs as the ears, heads, and eyes. I randomized them in a spreadsheet to vary the silhouettes unpredictably. Then I drew the facial features and other details in pencil at about 1.5x scale. After scanning those faces, I superimposed them back onto the heads and added some colors.

This shirt design will be published in a few weeks on my shop. Look for it here! https://danielsolis.threadless.com/
