AudioHIve - Electric T-Shirt

Scott Robinson

AudioHIve - Electric

AudioHive
For the sound competition..

Printed sample of AudioHive natural shown here, thanks to Ruby red:

I sat and thought about sound, what it is, what it means.

Our attraction to sound is primal, as universal as the world itself.
It has structure and body, with no definable form. It can be all things,
natural, mechanical & electric.

Sound brings us together, forms and strengthens communities.

So this design is a visual representation of those thoughts.. I hope you enjoy it.

Details can be seen:
here
and here

NOTE: I`ve uploaded 2 different colourways for this design, which I normally wouldn`t do, but both speak
of something to do with my concept. Let me know which you think is the better entry?

And if you like it enough please throw a vote my way

    Love this. No time to check the colourways now – will call back later = however it would need to be pretty remarkable to top this one.

  • Cathie Tranent

    As I said …. can’t split them – they both appear to suit perfectly.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Different sides of the same coin.. I`m conflicted! haha
    Thanks Cath

  • Grandia

    Grandia

    WOW! That detail is mindblowing, did you pen tool all of that?
    Oh and I prefer this one, the blue works great with black. I’m sure it’ll do great in the challenge. =)

  • Scott Robinson replied

    All pen tool, my wrist will testify… Thanks Grandia

    MangaKid

    Good work Scott, this is my favourite of the two.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Mate.. Most appreciated

  • Frank Stillitano

    Frank Stillitano

    Both colours work well. The warmer palette reminds me of honey, whilst the cooler palette makes me think of the outskirts of the universe where such a hive might be found. Mmmm…I’d go with the honey.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Tough call isn`t it? I`m ususally far from indecisive, but this one… hmmmm

    Thanks Frank. Appreciate your opinion.

    Thanks Sam, I tried to get a balance between them…

  • Miriam Shilling

    Miriam Shilling

    amazing design, I like the blue on black best, I love the subtle shading you’ve added and your explanation.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Miriam.. Juggling act between delicate and visable.

  • Earthmonster

    Earthmonster

    Great halftone work! Looks good both ways.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Cheers EarthMonster.. Halftones are a new ballgame for me.. So it`s been a fun little challenge

  • ElRobbo

    ElRobbo

    Awesome work, Scott!
    Your linework and representation of ideas is second to none!

    Juilee Pryor

    wow this is awesome Scott

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Juliee.. My sore wrists are feeling like it`s all been worthwhile

  • najeroux

    najeroux

    It would seem that the world prefers nightclubs to sweaty underground rock clubs. I find the latter far sexier.

    najeroux

  • Scott Robinson replied

    But of course, your insight`s have been hugely helpful in the development of this..

  • najeroux

    najeroux

    Stop it, you are making me blush with your niceness.

    najeroux

  • Scott Robinson replied

    C`mon.. You stood tall.. you had youtube links!

  • Juilee  Pryor

    Juilee Pryor

    sore wrists… phooey…. if your fingers aren’t bleeding then your just not working hard enough….. :)

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Close. i`ll work harder next time

    Blue for the win!

    (although, if you happen to sell this before the comp’s through, I’m sure that the rest of us won’t mind ;o))

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Ha! Cheers mate.. It`s all about gettiing a good entry in for me.

  • Juilee  Pryor

    Juilee Pryor

    hey sorry Scott… I used to work in a sculpture studio weaving heavy ropes and wire and stuff and our hands would bleed sometimes … so when we were getting a bit mental with it all… that’s what we would say to each other… it became the standard for working hard…. was tricky when working with white on white though…. blood on the field and bandaids all around….

  • Scott Robinson replied

    blood on the field and bandaids all around….

    Excellent line. Sounds tough.. I`ve worked as a sander before, blood on many a door! hahaha..

  • Juilee  Pryor

    Juilee Pryor

    thanks Scott…. making art can be hard work and very physical sometimes but it’s so worth it in the pursuit of excellence….and your design is excellent

  • jemimalovesbigted

    jemimalovesbigted

    Definitely blue for me! looks amazing as always Scott! Much luck for the comp, although you don’t need it this is a top 20 for sure =D

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Jem.. There`s some very cool entries in this comp, I just hope this is well recieved, and get enough votes to get itself in front of the judge.

  • capgun

    capgun

    wow! .. clean!

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Capgun.. I went a bit silly with this one.

  • rubyred

    rubyred

    I don’t think there’s any doubt this will be very near the the top of the heap Scott, and then it will probably be a tough call for the judges to look anywhere else but here. Top, top work. The beauty is in the details as always. Best of luck.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    You honour me fine sir! There`s some killer entries again.. These challenges bring something out in the design ninjas don`t they?

  • Vinko

    Vinko

    Tough call on the colourways but blue seems to stand out better (oranges are always dulled down more than most other colours on RB shirts for some reason). Good choice. And, as always, good work. Nice execution of a an interesting concept. It’ll get my vote :)

  • Scott Robinson replied

    I`ve heard somewhere, that oranges are by FAR the most difficult colours to print via 4 colour process.. Something about the values having to be nothing short of perfect or they can print muddy.
    Ed would know better than me if this is true though.

    The Blues the entry, Thanks heaps mate, I dig your entry too.

    dabones

    cool!!

    this might win the challenge, I think

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Who can tell eh? But, at least I`ve got a fighting chance, just like everyone else.

    Thanks Dabones.

  • o0OdemocrazyO0o

    o0OdemocrazyO0o

    dude this colour is great too!
    my pref is for the sepia brown stylee slightly (2.3%) more stylish :D

  • Scott Robinson

    Scott Robinson

    Ha! Thanks mate,.. 2.3% eh? See, it was that close margin that was making this decision hard for me.

    This is the entry though, I hope people still vote for it, even though it is almost 3% less cool

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    Wow!! Scott it’s absolutely incredible!!! am quite blown away.
    I love both… but find myself much more drawn to this one.
    You’ll get my vote!
    This is truly amazing. You must have worked on it for days!!!
    One to truly be proud of.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Damn thanks Pip, at least days, many nights..

    To be honest.. I thought a lot about this., Sound is a pretty broad concept, so for me to get something new out of my head, that even came close to what I wanted was the hardest part.

    As always, I greatly appreciate your comments.

  • zomboy

    hey scott well done on this truly brilliant artwork.
    it instantly reminded me of AMON TOBINS FOLEY ROOM – specifically a track called esthers.
    the musician got tiny microphones from a university and recorded WASPS being agressive… and combined that with harley davidson growl and a guitar riff.. its something mechanical/natural and its truly amazing…and your art just fits so so perfectly. i can have no higher opionon of your shirt than by comparing it to amon tobins work.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Damn Mt, that sounds amazing, I`m off to try and track it down somewhere.. know any place I could start?

    I can`t thank you enough for your comments either.. Such high praise from a very talented person..
