The challenge was

Create an original t-shirt design inspired by Peanuts.

Here comes good ol’ Charlie Brown!

Charlie Brown has been called many things. Wishy-washy. Blockhead… Well, at least two things. We’d like to suggest another term: Iconic. Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts Gang have been making us laugh, think and feel all warm & fuzzy for decades, all thanks to one man, Charles M. Schulz. For 50 years, Charles “Sparky” Schulz was the sole creator of the Peanuts comic strip. He wrote it, drew it, inked it and lettered it. A one-man empire-building machine.

But now we are excited to announce that for the first time ever, artists like you (Yes! You!) can put your own spin on the timeless characters of Peanuts. Be inspired by a world of Flying Aces, Psychiatric Booths and Great Pumpkins. Create designs of wonder and whimsy that showcase your own talents while honoring the legacy of Charles M. Schulz.

This challenge has been a long time coming so take a chance, create something awesome and play ball before Lucy has the chance to pull it away.
