So an old friend asked me to make him a shirt with Atlas on it. I immediately jumped at the idea because I've been making a lot of futbol-themed shirts lately and wanted to do something slightly different. He wants a quote a quote on the back, but I'm still not sure exactly what to put. I have read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and loved the book, so I'm trying to remember a good quote from it. Unfortunately, most of the good ones are too long to really fit on the back of a tee. So the shirt as is might be what you get, Malcolm lol. Enjoy.

So I didn't end up going to philly to play soccer, I stayed to work on the painting. It's been a lot of work and I think it's coming together nicely, but I'm still nowhere close to being done. I looked at the painting from afar ( a necessary step to really determine how it actually looks because you are so close to the canvas painting that you need to shift focus once in a while to accurately judge your progress) and I'm not really feeling the background. It needs a lot of work, I might scrap it altogether, what do you think? Here's what it looks like now:

I've been putting in a lot of work on this "Zlatan experiment" and I think it's coming along nicely. I'm on pace to complete it tonight, but I think I'm gonna take a much needed break and go to philly to go play soccer tonight. Enjoy.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, things have just been really busy, I've just been trying to work and still do all the other design commissions I have to do. It isn't easy! What makes it worth it is the fact that I enjoy every minute of it.

So I was "lamenting" to my sister about how I'm not that great of a painter, and I honestly mean it. I consider myself a designer first and foremost and I've been blessed with an artistic ability, but painting is something I picked up and never formally learned. In order to prove, or disprove (only time will tell) my sentiment, I decided to actually make a "painting" on canvas, instead of t-shirts as I've been accustomed to. It is of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the newest tenant at the Nou Camp. My goal is to make this the first painting of Ibrahimovic in a Barcelona jersey in the whole world! Here's what I have so far, I'll be updating it as I progress, enjoy.

Today I have a shirt that I made over the weekend. I think it's sooo dope, not tooting my horn or anything, I just really like the way it turned out. It's a painting of Thierry Henry my all time favorite player (seems all my favorite footballers are french, hmm...) I loved the pic because it shows so much emotion, and that's what I wanted to convey, his clenching his fist after scoring against Real Madrid. Classic stuff. Onto the pic, enjoy.

P.S. Don't forget to email me at ebun.olaloye@gmail.com if you want something made! Anything at all! Cheers

For those that don't know already from my previous posts, I custom make shirts for people. Basically, people approach me with an idea that they want on a shirt, we develop the idea and then I make it for them. It's that simple, so if you have an idea for a shirt, I can make it for you! Prices start at $25 and depending on the difficulty and complexity of the job, the price goes up.

I also design logos. I'd post some of them, but I have to get permission from my clients to do so. So if you are interested in getting a professional logo done, I can do that for you.

Tonight, or rather, early this morning, I bring you guys another tee featuring another player that I have admired since I was a child: Zinedine Zidane. If you are familiar with the beautiful game, I don't even have to spell out what Zizou meant to football. His technical ability is second to none and he is a true master of the game. The Messi tee said "God's gift to football" but that quote wouldn't fit with Zizou. If you have ever been privileged to watch Zidane play, there was something almost divine about the way he played the game. Cheers to one of the best to ever step foot on a pitch. Here's the shirt. Enjoy.

So I had an extra tee just laying around and decided to paint something on it...I had always wanted to make an Eric Cantona tee because he is one of my favorite footballers of all time. Apart from being a great player, Cantona had style and panache and brought a certain flair to the game that I don't think has been replicated since (not even Ronaldo). Plus this guy has some of the best quotes in football, and I took one of my favorites (the title of this post) and made it into a tee.

I took pictures during each stage of painting so you can see how it all came together. Enjoy.

Here's another shirt I just completed (just meaning a few hours ago) for this cool kid I just met.

As promised, here is the design for the Lionel Messi tee. This one is a hand-painted one off for my good friend. I spent a lot of time on this and also had a lot of fun painting this one. It's the first "serious" painting I've done in a long time and I was relieved to find that I didn't really lose much touch. On the side of Messi reads "El regalo de Dios para el fútbol" which translates to "God's gift to Football" I hope you guys like. don't forget to stay tuned for more designs coming soon. Onto the pics
