I'm Stray, or Jeff if you want to get familiar. I'm an artist, music maker, aspiring writer, goofball, geek, nerd, and dork. I design graphics for t-shirts for money.

This blog is mainly for my own artwork. I also make daily confessions and daily music posts.

Art posted in my blog is mine unless otherwise noted.

Like I’ve said before, all I own is t-shirts and jeans. All the suits I owned either got messed up, or I didn’t like them anymore, or they were old and I outgrew them, so they were all disposed of or given away. It’s been a while since I owned a suit, any time I have money clothes are usually very low on the priority scale, especially suits since it seems like the only time I ever need one is when someone I know dies. Watching the show Mad Men made realize how much I miss occasionally dressing up. Don Draper? More like Don Dapper As F**k! That show makes me feel guilty that I don’t own at least one suit as an adult man. Or that I feel like I need an excuse to wear one. Back in the day you were a suit because you were awake. So, I’ve decided in the near future I’ll start expanding my wardrobe. And I’ve been thinking about what kinda outfit I’ll buy, decided to draw some ideas. I think outfit number 1 will be something like pictured above. Good? Bad? Whatcha think?

Jorge I think this is one of your best one’s yet in this series. Keep em up.

Damn dude. This is badass. I love how that hookah machine thing looks like a skull. Again, everybody you should follow Jorge, so you can say you were into him before he was big. Also, ladies, look how goddam sexy he is: He’s got muscles under that shirt and everything, AND he loves cats! He’s your dream dude obviously. You’re welcome.

Hey guess what, one of my most popular t-shirt designs is making a comeback! You can tell this is exciting because of that exclamation mark from the previous sentence. Inspired by a song by New Zealand’s 4th most popular folk parody duo (and also the inventors of rap) this shirt is lovers of fresh t-shirts in general. If you’ve never bought a t-shirt from DBH they print on some of the best quality t-shirts ever (I say that as a person who owns probably over 100 of their shirts). At 12am PST, Sept 6 you can CLICK HERE TO BUY (but not before then) And as always a reblog is much appreciated. - Stray (facebook / twitter / deviantart)

Gotta Dress Em’ All - Cubone Here is the first in a series of pieces I plan to do where I draw Pokemon in clothes. Here’s Cubone, accessorizing with a pocket square and his mother’s skull. On second thought I should’ve made him using that bone as a cane for a little added fancyness. You’re free to make suggestions but I’m only going to draw the Pokemon I like, because frankly I think some Pokemon look stupid and I don’t feel like trying to draw clothes on their nonsensical bodies. So sorry, no Weezing. - Stray (facebook / twitter / deviantart/ shop) What Pokemon would you like to see looking dapper?

Got one of the shirts I designed in the mail the other day, DBH did an amaaaazing print job on this, it seems like not a single thing is lost in translation from my photoshop file to the actual garment. The details, colors, even the subtle texture overlays I used, it all shows up. The shirt it’s printed on is nice too, nice and soft, label printed on the inside instead of an itchy tag. Also, it’s not one of those shirts where the printed art on it is thick and heavy. It’s a good shirt dudes.

If you buy (or have already bought) this shirt and you send me a picture of yourself in it to me, I will draw you something for free. Promise!

For a limited time if you buy one of my shirts TONIGHT, I will owe you one free kiss on the mouth while supplies last!

Are you afraid or embarrassed to show your bare chest and midsection in public? Do you find that having an unclad torso can some times get a little chilly? Well I have the thing for you! SHIRTS! Shirts slip right over your top half with convenient holes for your head and arms! Shirts are the perfect gift for your friends and family members who have upper bodies! And just in time for the holiday season when you buy 2 shirts you get a THIRD shirt FREE! Wow! What a steel! No that’s not a typo, I meant to say steel, not steal. Steel like metal. Metal is very solid. This is a very solid deal! Like steel! Shut up it makes sense!

Now you may be saying to yourself, “Stray, I already know about shirts, I’ve been wearing them my whole life.” Well not like THESE you haven’t! These amazing torso garments have high quality drawings done by yours truly! That’s right! You can own artwork by future living legend theStray! You’d be dumb to pass this up! So so dumb! God, what a $&#@*^% idiot you’d be! But you’re not an idiot right? You’re smart so you’re going to buy these shirts! These shirts also support a good cause, a portion of the proceeds will go to me buying some new shoes. My shoes look like hell you guys, I’m not even kidding. My feet are killing me!

So go now and buy shirts! At my SHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPP!!!

I love you! Be sure to use the code “SCOREBIG”

The perfect New Year’s Eve present for the zombie lover in your life. What’s that? People don’t give presents on New Year’s Eve? Well… they should. Imagine how cool you seem when you’re still giving out presents after Christmas, what a generous renegade.

Hey, and if (or when) the zombie apocalypse ever hits, you can use this shirt as a mask and pass yourself as one of the undead. You’re very welcome.
