Extended Artist Bio: Dino Pros

Daniel Boer

Jun 01 2017

Dino lives, breathes, photographs, watches, sketches, pixelates, and writes about cars. So yeah - you could say he’s a pretty hardcore enthusiast. Among the many options this Croatian has for laser-focusing his zeal, it’s blipshift designs that he’s most enjoyed for combining his love for 4 wheels with his bill-paying-skillz as a graphic artist. This has lead to a bevy of brilliant designs like "Leave Your Mk", "Yellowbird", and "For The Trees".

Dino took a moment to answer a few questions:

The 2023 Shiftee Awards

365 days later, and well over that count in tee designs new and old, there's a lot to look back on from the whirlwind that was 2023. But we're not here to talk about futuristic pickups, lost submarines, or the Roman Empire. We're rolling out the metallic red wrap and cracking open a bottle of 10W30 to give it up for the hundreds of artists that can add and then promptly delete "professional t-shirt doodler" from their LinkedIn, and all of the exciting projects that were rendered, trimmed, screened, loaded, inked, cured, and shipped over the course of the year. Here were some of the highlights deserving of the golden torso.

Staff Picks From the Year

From its economic use of color palette to its bold and graphic shape language "Little Thrummer Boy" manages to make a very strong design using very few elements. It's a striking image that manages to tell a story that is both Christmassy and irreverent, and very much Blipshift in nature.

𑁋Monique

Not only does this design perfectly encapsulate the full-send vibe and wish fulfillment of this iconic film, it does so with entirely artist-generated flair. Those underbody bits aren't in any screengrab, but are masterfully drawn by hand. The tee wouldn't be the same without 'em. Try replicating that, robots!

𑁋Daniel

Love the way this one elegantly tells a story with a gearhead punchline that not everyone will get, in just 2 colors of ink.

The 2022 Shiftee Awards

From the celebration of our 10-year anniversary, to whatever the heck NFTs were, 2022 (aka 2020: Part 3) was full of plenty of highs and lows. That extends to each daily tee design too, and while not every piece of torso art can be a record-setter, we're incredibly grateful for all the loyal artists that have stuck with us this past decade, and those new submitters that give us even more to look forward to in the new year. As we look back on all that yesteryear had to offer, here were some of the standouts deserving of the golden torso.

Staff Picks From the Year

Every since diving down the Volvo rabbit hole, we've wanted to do something around this silly shifter, but we could never get the story right until this. Thanks to Chad who created the art, we finally got to torso-ize it, and as someone who still quotes the movie it makes me laugh any time I see it. Plus, it's got to be our best shirt name of the year.

𑁋Daniel

I really loved Erin Carr's lineup of shirts. They're different than our usual style, and she created a maximum design with our restrictive number of colors and utilization of screens - they're just impressive!

𑁋Kelsy

I love the way the artist uses the shirt as the imagined car body and his great use of colors to bring out details in the engine bay. I also appreciate the subtle way this design works as a secret hand shake between enthusiasts. IYKYK.

-Sebastian

This was a really fun image, from the colors to the motif, all the elements played well off each other to make an awesome design.
