I submitted the original version of this design to the contest for Whale Fest 2004. The committee who was assigned to choose the design apparently wanted to choose this one out of the submissions. However, since it contained elements of Tlingit design they wanted to make sure it was fine with the tribe in Sitka. There wasn’t time to do that before the Whale Fest conference so my design was not chosen.
I was asked to resubmit it for 2005. Since I had some time I made some variations variations based on the committee’s comments on the design. The variations include a version with a border and mirrored version with the whale jumping into the water rather than out. On the versions with a boarder I also changed the look of the water a small bit.
My preference is still the original version without a border and with smooth water.
This is a design that I was really quite happy with in terms of my success in achieving what I wanted with design. From conception to the finished product it turned out basically exactly like I planned. Not something that always happens as many artists can tell you.

Just a couple simple T-Shirt designs I made for my little brothers as Christmas presents a few years ago.
I rediscovered them while digging around in my “Old Stuff” folder on my computer.
Both designs were done in Macromedia Freehand easily my favorite drawing application.
The “Since ****” text on each design refers to the year they were each born. :)

This is a design I created in high school for our annual music festival. I was very happy with it. Clean design is something I enjoy and I felt I was successful with this. It was used both as a poster promoting the music festival, and as a t-shirt.
