T-Shirt Design

I had a specific design for a t-shirt in mind but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I created this design using Adobe Illustrator and Illustrator for iPad. Dozens of hours and hundreds of Illustrator layer later, this is the finished product which is available for sale on Teepublic.
