Drawn Shirt, City Scene for Aimee

admin — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:49:10 +0000

A drawn shirt, ordered by Aimee, with a few elements to incorporate into the drawing: Magritte, waistcoats, Nabokov, ice cream, etc. So a man’s medium cotton shirt, with black fabric marker wrapped almost all the way around — a street scene, buildings, pedestrians, and cafe table.

Drawn Sweatshirt: Cafe Circle

admin — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:25:47 +0000

I found this sweatshirt in a lost and found — and then I drew this cafe scene on a white piece of fabric, backed it with some heat-bond-fabric-attacher, and then ironed it on to the back of the sweatshirt. I drew it on a flight from SFO-Chicago Midway in October.

Drawn Shirt, Istanbul, From Karakoy to Eminonu

admin — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 03:27:44 +0000

Another drawn shirt from Istanbul. This time, a medium womans ivory tank, with the view from near the ferry station at Karakoy, looking over the Golden Horn to Eminonu.

Included: oysters, simit, akbil, and Aya Sofiya… A quick draw, only on the front of the shirt, from my last day there.

some close ups.

3 Turks Tshirt, Drawn Shirt

admin — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 19:56:41 +0000

Another Drawn Shirt from Istanbul, this time no buildings, just Turks. Three of them that I saw on August 15th, Turk watching, the national sport of Turks.

Yes they are slightly elongated, maybe it was for comic effect, maybe not.

A few smears and missteps, but who’s counting…? And after finishing, I decided to give the one big-hair lady sunglasses instead of Harry Potter glasses.

Drawn Shirt, Istanbul, Aya Sofiya at Ramadan

admin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:57:45 +0000

A weekend project, on old tshirt, done while on the grass during Ramadan afternoon between Sultanahmet and Aya Sofiya.

In progress… though the photo on the left makes it seem navy, ink is black…

Drawn Sweat Shirt: Tea on the Night Stand

Margaret Hagan — Tue, 03 May 2011 19:12:58 +0000

I drew a Night Stand still-life with screenprint ink onto a white circle of fabric, interfaced it, heat set it, and appliqued it onto the back of a hooded sweatshirt.

Drawn Shirt: Blue and White Woman Collar

Margaret Hagan — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 16:27:55 +0000

I drew this starting last summer, with a bottle of screenprint ink, on a big rectangle of t-shirt salvage, and then decided to cut it in half and sew it into the collar of a cropped-wrap/cardigan.

The Polish Kitchen shirt, as a winner

Margaret Hagan — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 20:35:06 +0000

Jacquard makes a range of markers for drawing and inking fabrics — and they run a weekly contest for the best designs made with their products. Last week I submitted my Polish Kitchen shirt, one of the first tshirts I ever drew all the way back in Babimost, & got word today that it won. Which means $111.68 worth of more fabric markers for me. Thank you Tee Juice!

Drawn Shirt: A Street Scene for Karlee

Margaret Hagan — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 21:34:36 +0000

I got an Etsy order from Karlee for a Drawn Shirt that somehow incorporated the following favorite of things: a lion with a majestic mane, a drummer boy bicentennial quarter, the name Karlee, an elegant crown, and tulips. So I decided to do a street scene, around the front 4/5ths of a white fitted tshirt, and trailing off around the back.

I used a combo of three different Jacquard fabric markers and pens, one thicker than the next — and it took me three afternoon breaks form property studying. Time to do some more, I had fun with this one!

Drawn Shirt – Berlin is Alle Dreams Kein Money

Margaret Hagan — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:04:56 +0000

A Berlin shirt, from a drawing I had made — thank you Johanna & Ciaran — two years ago now, I printed it out onto fabric using Heat Bond backing, touched it up with fabric markers, and then heatpressed & sewed it to a black tshirt.

Drawn Shirt: Day of the Dead Skull

Margaret Hagan — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:49:27 +0000

Another drawn shirt, this one is just up on Etsy too!

Drawn Shirt: Big Hair Girl with Big Glasses

Margaret Hagan — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 03:05:35 +0000

A new shirt, up on Etsy!

Drawn Shirt: Out of Palo Alto

Margaret Hagan — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:49:37 +0000

So is it really that Last Gasp time already? Let’s hope I have another weekend at least of art-time, but if not, I’ve been squeezing as many drawings out as the week allows. Here’s a composite Palo Alto shirt — the truck and palm from an abandoned lot on College Drive, with one of the archway arcades from Jordan Hall on Stanford’s Serra Drive. Done in the sauna of the past two days, I’m happy with the white on light turquoise. Medium t-shirt, up for sale on Etsy!

Cem Karaca Shirts, One Blue One Black

Margaret Hagan — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:20:47 +0000

I rehabilitated two dead white t-shirts, one looser (the above one, with black print) and one with a spandex hug (below, with bright blue). Cut the sleeves, cut the collars, hem and repair! They feature Cem Karaca wrapped around them, with new black stretch collars. They’re Medium-Large size, easy to wear, plus mustache! On sale on Etsy now…

Drawn Shirt: Passport to Turkmenistan

Margaret Hagan — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:56:19 +0000

Another drawn shirt, Wednesday afternoon as I was going through an old backpack’s front pocket, these are all the things I discovered. The Turkmen Passport (thank you to Ilaman and Oraz for helping me hunt one down in an Ashgabat street market!), invitations to a Cyberpunk Apocalypse, Penn Future business card, Human Rights Center name tag, two Port Authority month passes, a seemingly large amount of Polish money, Fossil Free Fuel card, and some air mail stickers. Passport goes up front, naturally, as I continue my quest to do something important or strange enough to be awarded honorary Turkmen citizenship….

For now, it’s up for sale on Etsy, adult medium, cerulean blue!

Drawn Shirts, Two Cafes in Belfast

Margaret Hagan — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 17:55:04 +0000

Two drawn shirts from last autumn in Belfast — one drawn in Linen Hall Library’s cafe, the other Clements on Botanic Avenue. Thanks to Julia and Johanna’s Miriam for the shirt bases; the drawing was with a black fabric marker, set with heat. They are up for sale on Etsy now, with some sadness.

The Reflective Practitioner, The T-Shirt

Margaret Hagan — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 17:55:27 +0000

This week I am drawing book t-shirts. I got these great steel tipped squeeze bottles, loaded them up with screenprinting ink, and have been freehanding sketches. One day I will learn to be a planner and measurer, but not yet.

This one is The Reflective Practitioner, a Donald Schon book. I am sure there is a huge market for design-sociology academic texts! I have found my new boom-market. I took the tshirt out reflectively practitioning in the meantime….

The Pittsburgh House Line Drawing Shirt

Margaret Hagan — Wed, 26 May 2010 15:31:28 +0000

From a recuperated t-shirt, brought back from the head, sliced apart, and re-collared with an old stocking — then printed up with a few lines of Pittsburgh buildings I drew.

Pittsburgh Drawn Shirt: The Beechview House

Margaret Hagan — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:42:42 +0000

I love riding the PAT T through Beechview any time of the day, but especially when the rangy brick houses are lit up for December. The best parts are the mammoth porches, they are the big curious mouths to the house’s face — two second floor windows for eyes, a peak of tiles for some green hair, a long flight of stairs for the neck.

So I started drawing some of my favorite houses onto shirts — this shirt comes from Johanna, from Berlin, and it’s the nicest shirt I’ve drawn on — a finely stitched silk. I was a bit nervous to touch the pen to it, but a few cups of coffee later I could hardly stop.

I’m not sure whether I’m finished here yet, I’ll let this one sit and see if I want to add anything further. But I like the one house, most of it on the side of the shirt. It’s not too overwhelming, and the blue and the white play nicely together.

Drawn Shirt: Eat The Pierogies

Margaret Hagan — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:19:27 +0000

A Pierogie T-shirt, Drawn for Miriam!
