Scottish designer/artist Wotto aka Craig Watkins is on a roll at the moment. His design was recently chosen by itself, the new Turkey based ongoing t-shirt contest, as their second t-shirt. A few days ago his design was also chosen by Bang Bang T-Shirts and today it was announced that he won the Design by Humans contest. He is also a previous Threadless winner although as of writing this post there was only one kids t-shirt left.
Wotto has a very distinct style and the theme of the Design by Humans t-shirt (The Assassin’s Birthday) is similar to the itself t-shirt (Never take candy from a strange thing). There is a monster, that is kind of cute, but probably dangerous. The Assassin though seems much more threatening than the strange thing.
Oddbod at Bang Bang T-Shirts while maintaining a recognizable style is a different kettle of fish. It is just plain cute. Or is it? It costs £13.99 and ships free internationally.
Below is is the Threadless T-Shirt of which their is only one left but the great thing about Threadless is that you can request a reprint and if the demand is their you may be in luck. I am sure too, that as wotto’s fame grows, so too will the demand for his shirts and art.
You can follow wotto’s adventures and find out more about his designs and t-shirts on his blog. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of him.
I really like the design and concept behind “The Assassin’s Birthday”. In fact I would love the shirt in a different set of colors. Personally though the color scheme puts me off.
The “I’m With This Clown” shirt is awesome! Great design and fun to wear.
Wotto also won our first compo – come check out his “Tree Huggin’” design.
