There wasn’t much design work to do for this shirt, and it may not necessarily belong on this site, but it always makes me smile. There wasn’t a lot of design work to do because it was mostly done for me. At the first design job I took out of college, I often would talk to people about ghost stories or paranormal stuff and this was actually on my computer monitor once when I got up to go use the bathroom or something. I just liked the idea that a ghost comes by to haunt the place, there is nobody around, so the spirit leaves a haunted calling card. Sorry we missed you, boo.
The beginning and end of this design.

This was something I had wanted to do for a long time, but I couldn’t think of how to use it. Ink splat ghosts. A year or so ago I started a design company called Thunked Up Media, and one of my ideas for marketing was to create a tshirt with original ink blots on them. You know the ones you see psychiatrists using in movies where you look at these abstract ink blobs and describe what you see? I can’t think of the name right now. Anyway we were experimenting with a method to create one of a kind ink splat shirts and they would say Thunked Up Media on them and everything. I guess what I’m saying is that I”ve been flinging paint on stuff for years now and trying to figure out how to turn those blobs into things.
