This shirt was a bit of a change up in style from the earlier Mere Theory designs, as the band wanted something a bit bolder and more colourful. We came up with a custom typeface and a magenta Jellyfish.

Sichuan Quake Relief T-Shirt 01
I lived in Chengdu, China for 2 years from July 07 to July 09, and was there when the huge earthquake struck. It was a crazy time, and pretty scary… One positive that came out of it was the opportunity to help raise money for those who the quake struck hard. Sichuan Quake Relief was started by a fantastic member of the community, Peter Goff, and quite a few of us helped out. This was one the items I designed to help raise awareness.

Little Birdy Slinky T-Shirt
Retro style type base shirt that was coined the ‘slinky’ as it ended up looking a lot like a slinky kids toy.

Move To Strike Clouds T-Shirt
The guys in the band wanted a design based on the line ‘Until the clouds below are far above’ and they liked the idea of a plane and a sunset. This was the final design chosen out of a few presented.

Move To Strike Stiletto T-Shirt
The stiletto design was something that took a while to create, but turned out really well in the end. The illustration of the heel smashing the type really set off the design.
Designers: Nigel Black & Ben Stanton
Mere Theory Bear T-Shirt
This design was produced for Mere Theory’s show at the 2007 Big Day Out in Adelaide. The animal came from a photo I took at the zoo of some sort of small bear.
