99 Red Balloons Shirt Design

Everything vectored in Illustrator. Mock-up done in Photoshop. The model photo belongs to Threadless and is shown on "Black". I had a lot of fun with this shirt because I've never really touched the artist's brushes in Illustrator. Because I was playing with the brushes, this shirt took me a lot longer than I expected. This shirt was inspired by the song 99 Red Balloons by Nena.

"Ninety-nine dreams I have had

Every one a red balloon

Now it's all over and I'm standin' pretty

In this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenir

Just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon

I think of you and let it go"
