t shirt design Archives

So far the response to our original mayamada show, The Samurai Chef has been great but we don’t plan to stop there, goodness no! As summer approaches we have plans to bring out more tees based on original mayamada shows and we are happy to reveal some sneak peak info on some of our latest creations!

Show Title: Serious

Big Idea: If you serious about an idea or dream, with hard work and the right people behind you, it can become a reality!

Main Character: Blake Smithe [aka Blake Serious]

Age: 19

Personality: Confident, Cool temperament

Quote: “One way or another, it’s getting done!”

As you can see this young chap looks pretty serious and we are itching to reveal more about the plot and supporting characters, so look out for updates coming soon.

For this show were working with an artist know as Illustriousman, a name which kind of reminds me of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect 2 only this artist is not nearly shady. I personally really like his style and look forward to creating more characters with him. You can check out more of his work here:

We have also been working with a talented animator Washue who has created a cool little gif of our Great Panda Dan from The 11^th Hour. I really want reveal more about that show but for now I leave you with this:

Mr. L

As we continue to make progress with the mayamada re branding. I’ve taken to reading a lot more about this whole t-shirt business thing. Reading books on branding, business etc. Checking out blogs and other brands is also a really good way of getting to know the industry, seeing what’s out there and being inspired by other peoples efforts (there’s some seriously good stuff about).

But I was really surprised by this brand I discovered via an article on IAMTHETREND. The founder Local Advancers posted some good tips for start up a t-shirt brand too. One that really spoke to me was the call to visualise every detail of your brand. I learned (and still am learning ) this the hard way.

I think if you are going to start something and do it properly, you have to have the end in mind. Visualising every aspect of the brand i.e. what the brand means, how the designs will look, how the tees will wear, what the packaging will look like etc is crucial to making a consistent and hopefully successful brand.

What’s significant about though this is the founder’s age: only 15 years old. Now I don’t know about you but I was nowhere near starting a business when I was that age and I’m only slowly getting the hang of things now. So to see that kind of drive at a young age is remarkable (and doesn’t make me feel like I’ve wasted the last 10 years of my life at all!). What’s more is the t-shirt design look good, check out the site for yourself.

I just hope our launch will be as solid.
