Superstition Baseball T-Shirts
Description: A black background design with white text "Hike" in script font on top. Below, a white banner with red textured letters reads "FLATIRON". A stylized mountain range is centered under the banner with "EST. 1939" flanking it. Two cacti are on either side of the layout. White text at the bottom reads "SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS ARIZONA".
Description: "Stevie" was only the second piece I did when I started this particular pop art adventure in early 2015. It's got many of my staples, but one of my techniques that I don't use quite as much as I would like is the thick-lined color gradients you see here. On this one, I went with a circle that evolves into elliptical waves emanating from Stevie Wonder's amazing mind. For my color gradient technique, inward to outward I use dark to light gradients on the main image and light to dark on the background palette. The result is a surreal, psychedelic effect I have not seen used in art before, which is one of the reasons I am proud of this piece and the technique.
Description: It wasn't on the lesson plan. It was on the lunar calendar. Every teacher who has ever watched a perfectly normal classroom dissolve into chaos at the mere approach of a full moon knows this badge is earned, not given. "Full Moon Survivor: Middle School Edition" — for the educators who track the moon phases and plan accordingly.
