Spreadshirt Spotlight: Illustrative Art is Alive & Well

Spreadshirt, the e-commerce platform for spreading ideas on something tangible, proudly highlights designer Mudge Studios in their ongoing recognition series that showcases the best and brightest from their global creators. As a talented and successful designer with exceptional illustration skills, Mudge Studios will inspire other creative designers to share their ideas with a global audience via a Spreadshirt hosted shop or through Spreadshirt marketplaces.


The artistic genius behind “Mudge Studios” is U.S. based illustrator, Allen Mudgett. Just like the other 70,000 plus creators on the Spreadshirt platform, he enjoys the ease of selling in both his own shop and in the marketplace channel. The publishing process is simple, fee-free and stress-free so he can focus on the fun part of his business – creating cool new designs that delight his fans. His artwork is very diverse, intricate and easily identifiable as Mudge Studios creations; often featuring fun themes like sports, skulls, dinosaurs, or animal humor.

Allen is a family man with young adult daughters who have tapped into his creativity in order to support himself as a self-employed graphic artist for over a few decades. He enjoys the freedom to make a living while creating art. For Allen, each day is worth waking up early for to get right to his passion- making the next great design. The secrets to Allen’s long term artistic success is to find inspiration from objects and scenes right around him, items that he loved to wear back in the day, and items that appeal to his daughters and their friends.

His inspiration:
“I’m always looking around, listening and thinking. The ideas just flow, and I jot them down in my readily available notebook. After I’ve collected them for a while, I go through the best of them and brainstorm – often going off on tangents, but coming up with something that would be fun to create and hopefully appeal to a future customer.”

His advice to others:
“Whoever you are, whatever you do, if you have a little time, some great ideas and the initiative, you can make Spreadshirt work for you. With a target market in mind and little bit of elbow grease on the marketing end of things, putting some extra cash in your pocket with great designs is a breeze.”
