“Maya the Bee”

For the first time in whole year of doing plenty of t-shirt designs, I got a high score at Threadless (3.1 out of 5). “The Birds” t-shirt did very well. I had also worked on “The Surreal Magritte Tree” a few weeks ago, and I also got a great score of 2.9 out of 5. Believe me, getting any higher than 2.3 is a very difficult task. As a result of these scores and similarity of illustration technique, it is likely that I’ll continue to explore themes within this style. My fingers are crossed in hope they print one :).

As for “Maya the Bee,” it is a painting that I did some months ago, but only went live with it this year. I only did two paintings throughout the whole year, which is pretty lousy. But I’ve had a lot of concerns and change of priorities in my life, so not much time to sit down and paint. I hope this year that I’ll be able to do a bit more painting.

I’ve included a video of the step-by-step painting process as well as static images (below). Enjoy!
