I paint in the collaboration ‘Big Bug Collection’: we paint t-shirts at parties and make and sell silkscreen printed shirts. A few weeks back we made some pictures of our shirts. I thought it would be fun to share with you.
Getting my picture taken is not one of my favorite activities. I am by no means a natural model. I usually end up looking really awkward. Actually I just am a bit awkward I guess. I either look angry, or just like a total retard. Not much in between. Unless having my eyes closed is considered ‘in between’. So the photo shoot was a good way to get out of my comfort zone, and in the end I did like how the pictures turned out (at least the ones I am showing haha).
(All pictures by Bram Berkien)
If you are curious, you can see these and more designs in our recently updated Etsy shop. All the designs are hand made by us (I made the first and last shirt).
Do you like being in pictures or don’t you? Why?

And you are really so cute.
p.s. – Me in photos? To this question I would answer the same as ‘sparklesness’ did.

I can never seem to take good pictures either. Always look like a dork who is lost or something. I’m going to check out the cute shirts though.

I think the pictures are lovely!
I normally end up pulling silly faces on purpose in photos because when I try and smile instead I just look a bit crazy haha.

Yes between the feeling awkward at times I did have loads of fun. And then the funny thing is that that automatically shows in pictures. I should be less self-concious.. then everything works out for the best

I always pull deliberately silly faces in photos – I guess they make me uncomfortable, too, so I play up :)
I really like your photo shoot, and the t-shirts! I’m going to have a look at the Etsy shop!
