Tessera Design was asked to create a t-shirt design for the Alex Wilson Band (winners of the Grafton Blues Challenge) to promote their journey to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. There they will compete the first week of February, 2011, with over 100 other bands to win cash, prizes and industry recognition.
We had our own challenge in designing the artwork — being limited to two colors for screen printing on a black t-shirt. But with great direction from the client, we think we captured the spirit of Alex and his music in the red, gray and black and wish him all the best on the “Road to Memphis 2011.”

I was one of the first fans to buy this Alex Wilson shirt and I absolutely love the design…unique, catchy and sexy as hell!! Great job!
The design was taken from an actual photo of Alex. Tyra did an absolutely awesome job of capturing the design we were looking for. Thanks for your help and expertise in this project.
Thanks, Patty and Jan! Alex provided some great source material for the artwork. We’re glad it’s a hit – just like we know the Alex Wilson Band will be in Memphis!
