About the Artist
akoelle has 5 designs in the running. This is the 4th winning design for akoelle.
This would be a BIG all-over super-detailed print, with some of the artwork wrapping around the side (big black beetle, etc.), the tops of the shoulders and sleeves, including a big grey beetle printed on the right shoulder. Blacks and greys—nice and monochromatic.
Hope you like!!

I LOVE the design…but I hate those bugs! Gross! You are so random…from butterflies to bugs. =o) Oh well, God made them all!
Hey Annie, this is Clint, Melissa’s buddy. I shot you a vote, love the BUGGIES!! keep up the good work!
oh you know those beetles. . .so hard to get them to march in a straight line. . .i’ve told them so many times, but they just won’t listen. . .
unorganized? since when were beetles on a shirt organized in straight formation?? yeah. +print
Good luck! I don’t know you but Melissa wanted me to come check out your work and vote for your design…so here I am! You’re very talented.

bedbugs in the collection.

I like this bug… mabey you should make them all black and contrasty…. i think it would work better for a T-shirt design
This is one of the coolest shirts I have seen in a long time. Excellent design!
YEEESSSSSSS. I can’t wait to wear this. Thanks DBH, beautiful printing as always!!
haha what a great shirt! I love it! funny thing is, I made a “diptera” [flies] design a while ago that I never submitted xD
totally getting this though :)
Hey akoelle,
I just stumbled across your website and I really enjoyed looking through your work. It struck me as very unique and I think your creativity can be very powerful at this new site that I am a part of. The site is www.TapSmack.com, and they have a very original idea that I think is going to take online art to a whole new level. What artists, such as yourself can do is use ideas posted by other users to come up with new art.
It is a never been done before opportunity for people to get together online and co-create and push art forward. The possibilities are endless, it can be art for anything, from shirts to shoes. The cool part is that both the artist and the idea creator receive part of the revenues. Email me back and let me know what you think. Thanks and keep up the good work!!

Annie, my sister. I wear this shirt at least once a week and I love it. It’s beautiful. I wore it for Halloween even, and received numerous compliments. You did good work.






I’m the first Vote. WOOT. This is a winner for sure. Good Luck!
