Portfolio: Jesse and The Rippers T-Shirt

A closer look at the vintage detailing - Screen Version.




A mockup of the teal color I wanted the tee to be printed with.


Not too long ago I was asked at work to come up with a few ideas for some t-shirt designs. The night before I was at a radio station event with my friend and had run into some fellow industry people and one of them happened to be wearing a vintage Jesse and the Rippers tee (If you don’t know who Jesse and The Rippers are double shame!)  I thought it was an amazing t-shirt and asked him where he had found it; he said he got it on eBay and that it was most likely either limited edition or one-of-a-kind. I made a mental note and when the prospect of some new t-shirt ideas for the wholesale line came up, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!

The guys at work were a little (lot) skeptical as they’re all a lot older than me and have no idea how much impact Full House had on my generation. I became a bit one-minded and knew that I just HAD to do this t-shirt design! So, I went to the drawing board, found a good Uncle Jesse Mullet and started from there.  I also wanted to make sure that the trumpet guy was in there, I always remember the random dude with the trumpet sitting on the couch whenever Uncle Jesse and his band were practicing in the living room. He always had the coolest (lamest) sweaters!-- But how about that mullet, huh? Hehehehe. The overall effect turned out pretty good and I like the idea of doing it in that washed out discharge style with lots of vintage effects, after all, the shirt should technically be about 20 years old. And thus, the Jesse and The Rippers Tee was born! Ta-da!
