Enjoy Choke
Here’s a t-shirt I’ve been meaning to make for ages. “ENJOY CHOKE”. My concept drawing for this shirt is on one of the very fist pages in my sketchbook that I’ve had going for over a year now.

After I stretch the fabric over this board, it essentially is the same process as doing stencils on paper. You just have to be very careful with registration

This design is just intended to make people think twice and look twice when they see it. I think it’s rather clever and I also don’t like coke so it’s perfect.
Here it goes…
I said I was going to do it so here it is…I’m sending it to Alan Alda…it’d be cool if he wrote back.

A stencil I recently revisited. I first made it late last year as a t-shirt. I made one proof of it before on cheap paper, but now I’ve dusted it off and am doing another run with nicer paint and on better paper. My mom suggested I add some color, so I’ve done watercolor embellishments. It really took it from just a cool t-shirt design, to something a lot more appealing to look at (shout-out to mom. couldn’t have done it with out you!).
For any one (or should I say either one) of you who doesn’t know; this image is Hawkeye from the TV series M*A*S*H. My favorite show of all time. More specifically this is from one of my favorite episodes, where Hawkeye tells a joke “possibly the world’s funniest clean joke” as he says. The punchline of which is “that’s all you do: bird immitations?”. The joke isn’t really very funny, but we’re a MASH family and it’s a running joke with us.
I’m thinking of mailing one of the prints to Alan Alda (who played Hawkeye)…he probably would never see it, but you never know.
