About the Artist
the_jcw has 17 designs in the running. This is the 2nd winning design for the_jcw.
With a contest like this we need to make use of the awesome printing abilities involved at DBH.
Definitely an oversize print with placement either centered or to the side with wrap around and sleeve printing for both options.
-metallic inks for the scales
-waterbased inks for the watercolor background and slight red on the clouds.
-stitching for the blue wave pattern coming straight out its mouth.
-while we’re at it, why not an option of a slightly different run of UV ink for a nice nighttime glow.

M.U.S.T H.A.V.E S.H.I.R.T!!!!! I absolutely love this design. The longer I look at it the more it evolves! PLEASE, PLEASE, PRINT!
a symphony of colors and shapes, another justification of creativity and design with a vision, how refreshing is to see it is not another byproduct of populism, there is enough of that already, keep it up and we will have a few more head-blowing designs, keep us astonished and refreshed!
what the heck! why are there only 102 votes on this. it had like almost 200 when added with the other one!!
OH YEEEESSS!!! thats so nice, ill say it twice, OH YEEEESSS!!! the colour contrasts are WACK bro! and if the above mentioned inks and stuff are used this thing going be HYPE!!!! Dragons are COOL, this thing is RADICAL…i need say no more, except one thing, “GENUISS,COOL,AND VOTED!”
this is one that i would definitely wear. im not so sure of that shark one i just saw
Hi and thank you for the welcome!
I really like all of your work – Nice flow, lines and detail!
If you have a minute, i would really appreciate some feedback on my first submission “the starving artist”
Thanks again!
it’s all been said, but this looks fantastic on a shirt! i like the darker tan and the big print. excellent! +1
nice nice … don’t know thought I already voted for this one… oh well done and done
wow!! thanks for passing by :)
this is awesome!
i would vote twice if I could hahaha
honestly dude…. what the dell do you smoke to come up with these wicked designs? VOTED TO THE POWER OF TEN!!!
Interesting, liked the color of the t-shirt!
voted +1, vote for my design “Elephish” too, Please! Thanks!
Hey man, I put a shout out on my blog for you finally, hope it’s not too late! keep pushing and some day you’ll have a lovely nest egg.
Great work! thanks for reaching out without sounding needy! Love the fact that you are using the different mediums! +1 (left side placement)
your design very good. I think you don’t want any vote for now bcoz you got already so many. Oh you got my vote!
I like the play on fire and ice(or water) always a classic design. Though I think the black metallic design loses something. But in the white a definite must have shirt.
Sorry but I cannot vote it twice, DBH knew my ID when I check this work, it tells that I’ve already vote it :)
wowsers, this piece is really firing on all cylinders! Wonderful colors, placement, flow of styles and textures, uv ink AND glow in the dark??? Man, this is one shirt that can be a real eye-catcher at all times of the day and night…great stuff!
Thanks brainboxz, but I was not asking you to vote twice, there was originally a problem with the submission
Original art – crisp, original style – great coloring – great placement – AWESOME. I personally like this right on front of the T, as long as it’s blown up _ VOTED.
Oh, by the way – the CONCEPT behind this Tshirt is really what makes it for me – it’s that you could write a whole Fable or Myth about how the Universe (or clouds) came to be… that’s what’s coolest (to me) about this piece.







I aways expect the best from the_jcw and he always delivers.
