If you have been in tune with the t-shirt design industry recently you have likely come across the work of AJ Dimarucot a.k.a Collision Theory. Recently, he has taken the t-shirt world by storm, winning the 10K contest at Design By Humans as well as several other wins at Threadless and DBH. I have followed his work closely for quite some time and have learned a lot from him at emptees.
AJ has been a huge inspiration to me as a designer and has really taken t-shirt design to new levels. His bold, colorful oversized prints really break the mold of traditional t-shirt design style and have helped me to think outside the box when designing shirts. Though our styles differ quite a bit, I really admire how he has refined his own unique style, something I hope to establish with Ugmonk.
