As our previous posts (Web Wednesday–Mike Thompson, How to Illustrate for Shirts) indicate, Mike T is the master of t-shirt illustration.

Here are two more from his canon:

Jam Master Jay – great use of the black shirt to blend the illustration into the background.

Tupac – Limited color palette but still getting the job done, use of the black shirt background, great fade into the shirt, details sized for reproduction with the crude process we call screenprinting.
