Design By Humans and Skelanimals teamed up a few months ago and hosted a Skelanimals tshirts design contest. Skelanimals offered up eight of their cute dead animal characters for designers to rework for a T-shirts. I choose Diego the bat character. I applied a hand drawn Day of the Dead style using lines and icons from the Mexican Art style.

I won first place with my ‘Diego The Dead’ design. I also had a second design selected to be featured in this exclusive collection ‘Jack a Doodle’. This design features the Skelanimals bunny ‘Jack’ redrawn using my signature doodle style. Although I think Diego is a stronger design I also enjoyed working on Jack so I am glad he made it into the tshirt collection. Skelanimals was a cool brand contest to collaborate on that alligned well with my style.

About the brand : Skelanimals are adorable animals who have met an untimely end, mostly due to their own reckless and ill-advised behavior. Edgy but lovable, playful and irreverent, dark but not morbid–Skelanimals are so fun and adventurous that you just might forget they are no longer living.
