Abduzeedo just turned me onto one heck of a t-shirt illustrator. The guys name is Rubens Scarelli hailing from Brazil, and apparently he’s been winning t-shirt competitions of late. I haven’t seen his designs before and I was glad to be introduced to how clean his artwork is.
He’s not afraid to spend some time on a design and create a lot of characters for one single print. The complexity and volume of the artwork isn’t always synonymous with good design. He is able to do both but is also able to keep it simple. That is a talent that many t-shirt designers wish they had but can’t be taught. It’s just one of those things where you either have it or you don’t.
Rubens Scarelli has it.
