One of my dreams has been to make custom t-shirts and apparel. This past year I created over 24 designs and set up a print-on-demand store on Threadless.com as a way to get the dream started. These designs incorporate hand-drawn original artwork (inspired by calligraphy & typography and ancient texts) then digitized, modified, and combined with digital elements.

This combines hand-drawn calligraphic strokes and a custom-designed font. Here showing the same design on both light and dark background colors.
A few more designs that began with calligraphy-inspired ink work. Then parts were scanned in and further developed digitally in Procreate and Photoshop.
