<\/a><\/p>\n This set of illustrations<\/a> and t-shirt<\/a> designs is made by young and talented designer Reece Ward<\/a> from United Kingdom. If you are wearing a shit bought on line there is a big chance Reece designed it so we asked him couple questions for TBR readers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m Reece Ward . The self confessed geeky t-shirt designer. I live in the UK<\/a>, in the deepest darkest depths of Lancashire. A place called Accrington. I think it’s twinned with Hollywood, but don’t quote me on that. It is where I live, work and breath, as a poor graphic designer. Working my fingers to the bone, to earn an honest bob or two.<\/p>\n Ever since I was young I’ve wanted to be a famous artist. To follow in the footsteps of Warhol, Blake, Pollock and Dali. I could have been somebody. I could have been a contender.<\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n In my summer holidays I worked as a fine art<\/a> restorer, painting the cracked backgrounds from old paintings bought at auction for just \u00a35 a week. My boss said I was gaining more in knowledge, which was true, but I would have still preferred the cash. I’ve also worked in a greeting card factory. And a swinging pub sign company.<\/p>\n I studied Art and Design<\/a> at college. And later diversified and studied Graphic Design at University. At that time everyone (Doctors, Astronauts, Brain surgeons, Zoo keepers, Politicians) all wanted to be a Graphic Designer, with the promise of wealth, and riches at the end.<\/p>\n Of course graphic design and advertising<\/a> suffered the same dilution of all the media industries. By the time I entered in to the real world. Graphic Design was no longer the path to righteousness and success, but just another daily grind. It had totally lost it’s allure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a> <\/p>\n I started to design t-shirts in my spare time. I can’t remember when I first started or why! It must be 3 or 4 years ago now, but I can really recommend it especially if your not getting the appreciation at work you feel you deserve. You will find it here and throughout the web<\/a> community. A few of my t-shirts became famous in there own right. And they seemed to spread around the internet like wild fire. Before I knew it, I was getting request and orders from all over the world.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/a><\/p>\n But just before Christmas I was contacted by Lucasfilm Ltd. They contacted me, and said they where fans of my work, and would I like to design a couple of tees. And of course, without a moments hesitation, I said yes! I think I would have said Yes! If they had asked me to sell my sole! I woke up next morning with an email from ‘Lucasfilm Ltd.’ saying that my t-shirts where now available to buy online at the Star Wars<\/a> shop. Since Christmas I’ve been slaving away designing a series of t-shirts for the Star Wars online shop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/a><\/p>\n T-Shirt on Star Wars shop.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a>T-Shirt on Star Wars shop.<\/a><\/p>\n My advice to any young designer out there, is work hard. Never stop! Believe in yourself. And one day all your hard work will reap it’s rewards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Thank you Reece, and keep us updated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This set of illustrations and t-shirt designs is made by young and talented designer Reece Ward from United Kingdom.
