Grumpy Monkey X Elrich : a collab with Exploro and myself in 2017.

A series of morale patches: morale patches are fun or motivational patches on uniforms, bags, and gear, showing personality, group, or jokes. Popular with military, first responders, tactical fans, and regular collectors.

I combined the Exploro Grumpy Monkey mascot with my own toon style, keeping its wide ears, snaggle tooth, intensity and scowl.

The new version uses carefully crafted hand-drawn vector curves in an Illustrator template, allowing quick, easy updates and fast addition of new characters.

Colors matched to the manufacturer's thread guide for digital-physical consistency, then programmed into the loom for auto stitching.
