How The World Ends T-Shirt Problem I am looking to make my Pacman print into a tee, it’s had a great reception at shows and I’ve had lots of requests for it on a t-shirt. Not being in the US, American Apparel is seen as a luxury but it also has that hip brand so would possibly help to sell the tee, even though the quality of the tee isn’t that noticeable. I checked out the costs of getting the tee made and based on getting 100 made it would be £7 more per shirt if it was printed on American Apparel as opposed to Gildan softstyle. Now this cost would obviously have transfer onto the customer so I would be very interested to know if people are that bothered about American Apparel. Would people be more inclined to buy a designed tee if it was printed on American Apparel? Also, what kind of price bracket would we be talking? Realistically I would need to charge over £20 ($30) per shirt for it to be worth it. Whereas with Gildan I could keep the cost at a more reasonable £15 ($20) which seems to be a magic number for the price of tees. Thanks for your time Sean x Twitter @seanmort

Ben Folds Five - Nottingham

Here is a close up of my Ben Folds Five poster from 2012. It is a 2 colour 18x24 screen print commissioned by the band & Richard Goodall Gallery.

The print is available from my Print Shop or my Etsy store

New Shows

I will be showing some work at Flatstock SXSW in Austin, TX next week. There are around 100 artists so there will be so much amazing work on display. I have a load of new work debuting at Flatstock so if you get chance come along.

I have some pieces of work hung up at Flannels in Leeds as part of Flyposting 2. There is some lovely work from artists all over the world and it is a great space.

I have a new art print available from this weekend at Gallery 1988 as part of their Product Placement show. The idea was to create an advert for a product that only exists within a movie or tv show. I’m really happy with my print.

I also have a bunch of new shows coming up, first off it’s Manchester Print Fair, then Primavera Sound Festival.

See you there hopefully x

Solo Exhibition In September I will be hosting my first ever solo exhibition. The show will be at Galerie F in Chicago, Illinois. Details will remain pretty secret for now but I am currently working on loads of new ideas for it. At the moment I am aiming for around 10-15 new pieces of work as well as a selection older work. I will be blogging about this a lot over the coming months, apologies for that. Cheers, Sean x

Maillot Jaune - New Tee

Seven Tour de France titles are now going spare so I thought I’d claim them for a new t-shirt. Now you can be the winner of the Tour de France from 1999-2005 with this limited edition tee*

Limited edition pocket crest t-shirt. Will be putting these on pre order until 23rd November 2012 for delivery at the start of December to see how many tees I need to make. If I sell 1 then I will make 1. If I sell 547, then I will make 547.

Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large & XL - Please specify size when you order.

* This tee does not give you official Tour de France winner status, just a false sense of entitlement. Like Lance.

Buy from my Big Cartel or my brand new Etsy store

This is a response to Drew Millward’s recent Keep Calm And Carry On idea. His was a lot less subtle but also lot funnier. This will never be printed, it’s just a stupid idea that I did on my lunch and it checks off three bugbears I have in one poster; 3D, unlicensed movie posters & Keep Calm And Carry On posters. None of these things are funny or clever and they only serve to make the world a worse place. And now I’ve made one myself and contributed to the inevitable downfall of western civilisation. Rant Over! Cheers, Sean x

iPad Illustration Test I drew this while on holiday on my iPad, with my finger. On an IPAD!!! I’m pretty happy with it. It needs to look more like a fork but I’ll bang it in illustrator when I get home.
