Come at Me, Bro!

Come at Me, Bro! Honey Badger T-shirt Design 
As most of you all know, Honey Badger was one of the hottest topics in 2011. As a t-shirt designer, I had created several Honey Badger designs and posted them in a few of my POD shops. My thought process was to design several variations including some pro-Honey Badger and some anti-Honey Badger in an effort to create a niche in the marketplace.
As outlined in my previous post, I really believed that sales from this whole crazy Honey Badger t-shirt theme would wane quickly as the marketplace became saturated with the likes of Honey Badger Don't Care; Crazy, Nasty Honey Badger and Honey Badger Don't Give a Sh*t. In response too the flooding of the market, I created a line of I like Honey Badger- especially in BBQ sauce designs, believing that this humorous perspective would begin to edge out the traditional Honey Badger slogans and representations. Looks like I was dead wrong. My Come at Me, Bro design outsold all of my other HB designs combined! That inspired me to put additional effort into creating a brand new painted version of said design. It was really nice to illustrate this Nasty Honey Badger with a painterly technique. Reminded me of the old school days when I painted with oils or acrylics. The result is the Come At Me, Bro t-shirt featured above. Check it out in Mudge Studios' Zazzle shop here.

 The pic above represents the first version of my Come at Me, Bro Honey Badger. It is very simple in how graphic it is, but evidently, the combination of that catch phrase and the Honey Badger art worked very well together. This tee can be seen at this clickable link here.
Well, I'm gonna work on my Honey Badger Football design and I'll post the results on this blog at another time. Take care.
