DROP DRIP
DRIP T-SHIRT ARTWORK FOR YOUR NEXT DROP.
Your blank tee is not the product.
The artwork is.
I create T-shirt graphics for streetwear brands, T-shirt startups, POD sellers, Amazon sellers, creators, YouTubers and anyone else trying to sell a T-shirt without making it look like it came free with a broadband connection.
Still obsessed.
Got a T-shirt brand?
Cool. Now let’s make the T-shirts worth buying. You might be:
Launching your first streetwear label.
Building a POD business.
Selling on Amazon.
Running a D2C apparel brand.
A YouTuber building merch.
But have no idea where to begin?
You’re at the right place.
I don’t design “T-shirt designs.”
I design reasons to stop scrolling.
“Okay. Where do I get that?”
That’s the job.
The clichés, retired
Your brand doesn’t need
another generic tee.
You know the ones.
Congratulations. You’ve just designed the same T-shirt as everyone else.
Let’s not.
I’ve been around the tee block
Trends came. Trends died.
Everyone discovered oversized. Everyone became minimalist. Then everyone put a tiny logo on the chest and called it a collection.
Respectfully: no.
Your brand deserves its own thing.
What I make
Six ways to give
a blank tee a reason.
Graphic T-Shirt Artwork
Illustrations, compositions, characters, objects, visual concepts, weird ideas and graphics that actually have a reason to exist.
Typographic T-Shirts
Big type. Tiny type. Good type. Bad type used deliberately. Wordplay. Sarcasm. Attitude. Words doing things.
Streetwear Graphics
Bold. Minimal. Dark. Playful. Experimental. Whatever fits the brand instead of whatever happens to be trending on Pinterest this week.
POD T-Shirt Designs
Artwork built for print-on-demand businesses, Amazon sellers and independent sellers who need designs that can actually compete in a crowded feed.
Merch & Creator T-Shirts
You already have the audience. Now give them something they’d actually want to wear.
Collections & Drops
One good tee is nice. A collection that feels like it belongs together? That’s a brand.
Chai Rocks
Bari Ja!
Bengal Tiger
Mantra Mandala
Banana for Scale
Bonglicious Baby
Print matters
Because a T-shirt
isn’t Instagram.
Different processes. Different limitations. Different results. I design with the final garment in mind — not just a pretty mockup on Photoshop.
And if you don’t know the difference between DTG and DTF?
Ask. Seriously. I’ll explain it. Free. I like T-shirts enough to talk about them even when nobody is paying me to.
You don’t need “a designer”
You need someone
who understands…
That’s the whole game.
Who is DROP DRIP for?
Take your pick.
Streetwear Brands
You have the identity. You need artwork that gives the collection some teeth.
T-Shirt Startups
Starting from zero? Good. Zero is easier to build on than bad design.
POD Sellers
Amazon, marketplaces, your own store — wherever you sell, you still need people to want the graphic.
YouTubers & Creators
You already have the audience. Your merch shouldn’t look like an afterthought.
Existing Apparel Brands
Need a fresh designer for the next collection? Let’s talk.
Founders With An Idea
You don’t need a 40-page brand strategy to make your first T-shirt. Sometimes you just need to make the damn T-shirt.
Why me?
I’m not supposed to be doing this.
I was a lawyer. Yep.
Lawyer → T-shirt designer.
Somewhere along the way, I realised T-shirt artwork was the thing I kept coming back to.
So I built a separate branding agency. And then kept designing T-shirts anyway.
Because apparently 14 years wasn’t enough.
The branding agency can have the meetings.
I’ll take the T-shirts.
14 years of this
- I’ve designed for multiple brands.
- Worked across different audiences.
- Seen trends appear, explode, become unbearable and disappear.
- Had designs win.
- Had designs become bestsellers.
- Made enough mistakes to know what not to do.
And learned one very important thing:
A T-shirt can be a lot more
than a T-shirt.
It can be the entire personality of a brand.
But enough about me
You’re the one
selling the tee.
So let’s talk about you.
Send it. We’ll work from there.
You don’t need to know design
You don’t need Illustrator.
You don’t need to know print specifications.
You don’t need to know whether your graphic should be 12 inches or 14 inches.
You don’t need to send me a perfectly written brief.
You just need an idea. I’ll ask the annoying questions.
That’s my job.
Indian designer. Worldwide drops.
Based in India. Working with brands, startups, creators and sellers wherever the internet decides to put them.
Different market. Different audience. Same problem:
“We need better
T-shirt artwork.”
No cookie-cutter graphics
No design factory.
No downloading a template and changing the text.
No “here are 10 concepts” where eight of them are the same design wearing different fonts.
Your brand gets its own artwork.

You bring the blank tee.
I’ll bring the reason to wear it.
Questions?
One last thing
If you’re starting a T-shirt brand and have absolutely no clue where to begin — ask me.
If you’re confused about screen print, DTG, DTF, artwork size, placement, colours, files, production — ask me.
If you have an idea and just want to know whether it could work — ask me.
You don’t have to hire me. You don’t have to pretend you know what you’re doing. Neither did I 14 years ago.
I just kept making T-shirts. Apparently, it worked.
