Pop Brollies - Dalek Umbrella

Exterminate, Annihilate, Destroy!

The return of Doctor Who has made one of my good friends, David B happier than Charlie when he first walked into the chocolate factory. As such, I had to make him a Doctor Who umbrella, but not just any old one, it had to be a Dalek. I can't wait till he sees this tomorrow. Neither can he.

Pop Brollies - the Sims Umbrella

Video games are so frakkin popular!

This custom brolly is, yes, the Sims character icon nice and big right over your head. Are you playing the game or is it playing you? How much fun to possibly do a thought bubble next time...

Pop Brollies - Asteroids Umbrellas

Another 80's theme Rockin!

My adaptation of one of my favorite games growing up. I find all of these so much fun to do for the double meaning of them. The umbrella shape itself is so much an echo of the asteroids in the game to have them being shot up by the one out of place item. It gets deep in here people. I'll spare you going into the deeper meaning of the space invaders :D

Pop Brollies - Bats in the Belfry Umbrella

Two of my favorites!

This first version of Bats in the Belfry was created for most chipper of all Chicago Goths, Jamey B. However, someone saw it and asked very nicely if he could buy it instead. Jamey being the awesome neighbor that she is said sure.

And so, I made her a new one. In real life, the design is a bit more subtle. The umbrellas are not quite as bright as they appear in the photos and the black pulls a nice undertone out of the purple. It's still bold and noticeable as you walk down the street, it just takes an extra look to fully appreciate what you're seeing.

Pop Brollies - Space Invader Umbrella

I wouldn't be a child of the 80's without an awesome Space Invaders design. This one was a test and I love it. With a little revamp, it will be available on Etsy shortly. I'm pretty excited over it. I love space invaders and had been thinking of doing this one for a while now.

Pop Brollies - Captain America Umbrella

Who doesn't need a Captain America Shield umbrella. Made for Patrick Brower of Challenger Comics fame for his birthday. This one is exquisite. Truly will remain one of the best I create. Although I'll be honest... too much ink makes things become a bit more difficult. I do have to investigate more possibilities on how to handle some designs.

Pop Brollies - Bombs Away Umbrella

Finally it's done! Bombs Away, which I've been waiting to show everyone for a while now. It'll be shipped off and out of my hands in a couple days. Made for the genius behind the Cyberoptix Tie Lab, Bethany Shorb as a thank you for doing our wedding ties. I've loved the design for a while and was thrilled when she let me use it to make this for her. It quintessentially captures what I hoped for these umbrellas. A great bold design that really engages and will completely dazzle in a see of black umbrellas. Be sure to check out the closeups
