Ernie Echidna Takes to the Skies

shoutOut on 15/4/11 by thejcw in

Way back when ever town had a circus and a freak show and every kind of performing animal you can think of there was the great Ernie, the high-wire echidna! As far as Monotremes go, he was the best, always toping himself with a new act until the day he did in Chicago riding between the Sears(now Willis) Tower and the Hancock. He lost his concentration without a good lunch and it was his last performance.

This shirt is my tribute to him, and hopefully people will get to wear it in remembrance.

Beautiful, zany, well drawn and coloured. Whimsical too.

I also reallydig how you show previous versions of the tee and this one (which is no doubt the best of the 3)

You have such a distinct illustration style, I am loving the quirkiness to this character! There is such an atmosphere applied to this dude!

For me this design is fun and simple. I also like the patterned effect you’ve applied to the buildings, pretty nice.

For me, I’d take the variation that the glasses dude is wearing, but I’d keep the thought bubble on the top left, not top right, to balance out the tee a bit more, agree?
