Food Frights!

Another idea for a line that I came up with at my old job was a series of t-shirts with accompanying toys that were sort of what you'd get if plastic toy food had babies with a bunch of Madballs. This was our "gross out" line that we ended up calling "Food Fright".

Sadly, the idea was so great that they immediately took it away from me and gave it to another guy!

Oh well... Here's the logo that I came up with that was eventually used as the hangtag for the shirts...

And here are my original concepts for the toys, which would have been the same kind of squishy foam that the old Madballs were made of, which is quite perfect for throwing at other people. (click the images to view monster sized)

  5. I saw the t-shirts at Walmart and liked 'em--but WOW, I'm even more impressed by your toy designs! It's too bad they didn't make it to the floor, I would have loved 'em :D

  6. Thanks, Mumtoakl & Bawk! I saw some of the shirts too and I have to say that they looked way better than I had the ones I originally had seen. I still think the toys would have been so cool! Oh well... At least my logo survived! :)

  9. Sadly, I'm no longer working for the company that produces Food Frights t-shirts. I came up with the concept, designed the toys (which are NOT getting produced), did the first few t-shirt designs, then was laid off from the company along with 4 other artists and the Food Frights (as well as a few other project concepts of mine, like Team Transylvania) were handed off to the remaining staff artists.

    So, I have no control over websites or any other type of marketing (I did pitch a website for FF once but the company thought it would be too expensive to maintain).

    Sorry. :(

    I'm glad people are liking the series. I think most of the designs hitting stores now are by other artists, but I'm glad that a concept I came up with is bringing some people happiness. :)
