Blasterkid has no other designs in the running. This is the 1st winning design for Blasterkid.
I wanted to work with traditional media on this piece.
I felt that Kiss being such a great live band using a “live” medium such as diluted india ink (basically black water color) and then drawing with tech pens and brushes was a great fit.
Using tools like brushes and pens were my guitars and drums.. My volume and distortion was swirling black washes and acrylic white blasts of paint.
I hope it feels like KISS doing a live show or reminds you of your best memories of seeing them live. That was the intention and I wanted to do something that just floored KISS fans.As a kid I would draw KISS and also design my own stage sets for the band so doing this piece now (when I can actually draw a lot better) is a dream come true.
:)
I listened to KISS the entire time I worked on this drawing trying to infuse the energy of music into the final image.
thanks for checking it out!

This is amazing!!!! Easily gets a vote from me. Great job and love the overall design of the piece. Props!!!!
would like to see a close up to the detail, it looks like so much work, it definetly paid of my friend, killer illo and amazing qrtwork, got some mad skills sir, loving the concept and the feel of this design, hope is not to late to give in my vote and teel you this is a must win for sure, just an opinion, maybe you could makeca bigger room for the catman, is kinda small and it would fit so well on the bottom of the shirt, that way you could balance the image of starchild and the demon, anyways, kick ass tee, voted for sure…..peace…
The best thing is Paul’s look and how you achieved a great picture without using the KISS logo. Well done!.
I wanted to post a quick thank for all the nice posts. Not sure people will ever come back to read this.
But I just wanted to do something that really celebrated KISS and my love for the band. As a kid to listen to the music stirred something that I’ve carried my whole life…which is my imagination.
:)
thanks again for all the votes and nice words.
Awesome. Would love to see it from much closer to appreciate the texture even more. You got my vote. :)

How the hell did I miss this? I seriously think this might win. Great artwork, and best of luck.
Why no women’s sizes again? I’m not a woman but what if a woman wants to buy this. By the way, congrats on the win!
