Why Owen Davey wanted to design a Face This T-shirt
Owen Davey: ´I love the idea of the kids being the spark that helps fund stuff for themselves; that their ideas and needs are both being acknowledged and valued.´
Owen Davey about the Indonesian kids' drawings
Owen Davey: ´They’re just really fun. I have two young kids and love watching how they stylise stuff. That thing of just filling a page with a bunch of stuff that you find fun, and not worrying too much about the lines or the shapes; just creating. It’s pretty inspiring. I felt like I was getting a glimpse into their minds.´
How Owen Davey designed his Face This T-shirt
Owen Davey: ´Honestly, I took stuff from loads of different artworks. I tried to find little drawings that seemed the most closely related to the work I tend to create, and smashed them all into one drawing.´
