Ink on the Shirt: The Hypermodern Game

As much as I love this technologically cluster-fucked world...there is something about the quiet brutal elegance of chess that the modern world can't touch. I wanted to create a chess t-shirt that played with these two contrasting worlds, particularly as it applies to gaming.

As you check out the progression below...please keep in mind that all of the inking was done by hand and took hour and hours to complete. Hours, I tell ya!!

Some beautiful stick-figure conceptual art...

Boom!! Ink on the shirt...
