My doodles on clothes: a playful way of looking at a strange world, with a duck who seems cheerfully unbothered by it all.
When the world gets loud, I draw a duck that seems not to notice. Its nonchalant ignorance is the joke, and a way for me to deal with events that can feel too big or strange to answer directly. I wanted those drawings to live beyond my sketchbook.
I drew the characters and turned them into graphics for sweatshirts, hoodies, and tees. I played with the contrast between silly faces and busy, sometimes uneasy backgrounds, then brought the pieces together as a small collection.
Rubberdukky is my own little world on clothes: funny, odd, and a bit detached. The original photographed pieces are shown first. Some later product presentation images used AI assistance and are labeled as such; the online shop is simply where the collection lives.
A yellow duck holds a flower while scribbled words crowd around it. I like that it can look cheerful and overwhelmed at the same time. This is the original printed sweatshirt, photographed as it is.
The blue piece puts a cartoon duck in a scene that feels grand and ridiculous. It is another way the character looks at the world without quite knowing what to make of it. This is also an original photographed garment.
I worked the art into everyday pieces and photographed the originals. This later presentation image was made with AI assistance from the garment reference; the drawing and print came first.
