Tell us something about this design.
I always wanted to create a design related to this specific Batman: The Dark Knight wallpaper and it took me a while to come up with a suitable crossover, but here it is.
Who is and where does Rookié come from?
My name is André and I’m a 22-year-old design student from Leverkusen, Germany. Since I was able to hold a pen I’ve been obsessed with drawing. When I turned 16, photography and Photoshop joined ranks.Besides university I work as a freelance Illustrator, graphic designer and photographer.
How long have you been in the t-shirt world?
I discovered my love for the t-shirt world a year ago I think, when my cousin introduced me to daily tee sites universe. I fell in love real quick but I just created 2-3 designs in the first 6 months, I had to practice a lot and learned from the response I got for my work.
What would you suggest to an aspiring t-shirt designer?
Always survey designs that you like and figure out what you like about them. And what’s more: never give up even after you suffer some setbacks.
What’s a day in the life of Rookié like?
The alarm clock rings at 9:30, but I need some time to get up. When I succeed I eat some cereals and then get ready for university. At about 18:00 I’m back home and watch several episodes of some tv series. I’m a night owl, so I start designing at around 21:00 and work until 1:00 at the earliest. In the case of this design I couldn’t stop until I finished it at 5:30 in the morning.. yeah, it was a short night.When I’ve got some more free time and the sun is shining I spend the time outside with some friends, go longboarding or make music.
Mac or PC?
In university I am forced to use Mac which is no problem to me, but at home I work with PC and I think I will keep it that way ;)

You are the governor of the world. What’s the first thing you would do?
I would arrange that everyone, everywhere got enough to drink, to eat and a place to call home.
You’ve just won a DeLorean time machine. Which historic period/time/moment would you like to visit?
We know quiet much about the past, but nothing about the future. That’s why I would travel into the year 2213 to see what’s it like 200 years from now (please let there be hoverboards).
Say whatever you want to the Tee Tee community!!
Why did the little mermaid wore seashells? Because d-shells were too big.
