Twin Peaks Sheriff Department – T-Shirt Artwork EPS

Twin Peaks is a cult TV series and is still a firm favourite of mine. Surely, I thought, there must be a Twin Peaks Sheriff Department t-shirt somewhere on the internet. Well, there are t-shirts available but there's a catch….

My brother had already pointed out a t-shirt and mug design which can be bought on CafePress. The problem being a typo in the word Sheriff; there is one 'R' too many!  While there are other versions of this design elsewhere with the word Sheriff spelt correct I was not happy with the trees if you compare them to the various props listed below.

Bad examples from elsewhere

  • Some misspelled Sherriff's Department Tees & Mugs at CafePress.
  • Correct spelling on a sticker but using the same design from ozsticker.com.

Good examples of official Twin Peaks props

I decided I wanted my t-shirt to look like those seen in the movie props. Comparing Sam Howzit's t-shirt to the one on CafePress you can see that the colours are more subdued and the trees look like very different. So, set about to draw a vector illustration over the top of Sam's photo, using it as a guide. The artwork, as usual, is available for download below to use in your own designs.

Announching gavjof tees

I’m pleased to let you know that we have begun designing tee shirts that are suitable for those who are interested in Wing Chun Kung Fu. A small niche maybe but I’m sure we’ll get some buyers once the designs are spread around the interwebs.

We had originally considering using CafePress to host our designs but in the end Jof found a decent UK site that lets you theme your own mini store.

Most of the designs will feature chinese characters relating to certain aspects of the Wing Chun Kung Fu system. For example several of the designs currently available show the chinese characters for the open hand forms. These being Siu Lim Tao (小念頭), Chum Kiu (尋橋), and Biu Jee (鏢指).

Below are a few of the above designs shown in red.
