A tragic end to the story of the Banana Bandit and the Wolf Dragon.
Drawn for the Odd Couples challenge at Threadless. The sketch started out with the banana shape and then developed into the strange pairing and tragic visual story you see above.

The Empty Jar of Fireflies - by Brandon Ortwein
Inside/Outside in the light it is just a plain empty jar. Simple and beautiful. When it gets dark the Glow Ink reveals the Fireflies that give life to the “empty jar”. I hope you like it.
Submitted to Threadless for the Plain White T(ee)s design challenge.
Booty Wagon - by Brandon Ortwein
Sitting in traffic one day I was stuck behind a beaten up old van. It had one of its windows busted out and the black plastic patch job made me think of it like an eye patch on an old pirate.
Submitted to the Threadless + Wittlebee contest.
Midnight Alarm “I Miss You” - by Brandon Ortwein
This is my design for the Plain White T’s challenge at Threadless. The idea was Inspired by the Lyrics from the song “Should’ve Gone To Bed”.
I only miss you at midnight
But when that lonely clock strikes
That’s when I wish you were here
The angel knows it’s not right
But the devil’s in my heart tonight
Whispering things in my earSo I down my cup
And then I hit you up
Saying stupid stuff….
Using only Black ink and 2 different glow ink colors.
I hope you like it, help spread the word, and give it a big 5$ for me.
Thanks, Brandon
