Tell us something about this design.
I’m a fan of Godzilla, and i felt like doing something to celebrate the one and only King of Monsters. I’m also a big fan of Katsushika Hokusai, in particular of the notorious The Great Wave Of Kanagawa, so i decided to merge the two things – both very iconic and strongly Japanese – into one… And here’s the result.
Who is and where does Mdk7 come from?
I’m from Busto Arsizio (Italy) and i’m part graphic designer part gaming journalist. Videogames are my life, i’m obsessed with The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch and my not so secret dream is to be able to see a real dinosaur.
How long have you been in the t-shirt world?
I started last spring, almost by chance, after a friend told me “why don’t you turn that design into a tee?”. What would you suggest to an aspiring t-shirt designer? Be as creative as possible, try to be a nerd at 360° and don’t give up (even if most of the time your designs won’t be printed).
What’s a day in the life of Mdk7 like?
Wake up. Drive. Do things on my Mac. Drive. Eat. Play. Sleep.
Mac or PC?
