My First T-Shirt Design

I’ve created a lot of T-shirts for bands like Maroon 5, Lenny Kravitz, Chris Cornell, The Wallflowers etc. This was the first T-shirt I ever designed. I think I did this in 3rd or 4th grade for my school, Springhill Elementary. I won the contest to create an image of the mascot. On my original design, the spear was dripping with blood. At some point in process a PTA mom (clearly with no regard for artistic license or historical accuracy) removed the blood before the shirts were made. So at recess I set up shop on the playground and reapplied the missing gore to my fellow students’ shirts using Kristina Katopodis’ red fingernail polish.
