Comedy is the new punk rock, and every comedian has a podcast now. One of our favorites is Me And Paranormal You, from comedian and paranormal researcher Ryan Singer. By sheer force of will, we inserted ourselves into his awareness, and in doing so were given the opportunity to work on a quick, fun tee shirt design project for his then-upcoming comedy tour. Ryan already knew what he wanted, so our job was to simply make it happen in a form that he approved of.

Ryan sent us a mockup he'd created. Taking that, we decided the best and fastest approach would be to modify stock art - manipulating it enough to get something cool looking that fit the vibe Ryan was going for, and also kind of retained the look of his original mockup (which I actually think would have been cool on its own as a super grungy, deliberately low-end looking print).

After several rounds of edits, that were mainly about typography and color, we got to the final version. You can see Ryan's original mockup below and the final files we created up top.
