Dude.
fatheed
   fatheed on Mar 17 '09
That 'dude' was meant for the guy who didn't see the big white theramin. :)



I'm open to suggestions on other instruments. Obviously - with this layout - it's getting wider and wider as I add more, so I'll change it if I have to.

I'm just not feeling this one. A lot of them look like Moss to me, too.

Just a whim, but what if they were "plugged in"?

Aw I saw kazoos on the thumbnail and assumed that's what the picture was. D: Huge let down.

Excellent design...let's just hope your design gets picked or else the reign of the Guinea Pirate is inevitable!
sonmi

shandela's right. scrap this and just slap a photo of kazoos on a shirt. 5$

That seems counterintuitive to me, but I don't see how Julia could ever be wrong. Srsly.

Hurdy Gurdy! Haha. I've not seen/heard of one of them before. It looks pretty awesome on Google images. I guess the challenge is coming up with stuff that is common enough that it is recognisable as a silhouette, but not obscure enough to confuse people. If enough people know what a Hurdy Gurdy, is I'll include it.



There's lists of hundreds of unusual musical instruments on the internets, but I tried to pick a bunch that are/strange/funny/uncommon.

I also just looked up Guinea Pirate. There's a design there somewhere.
fatheed
   fatheed on Mar 17 '09
Shandela - there's already a good up for sale at Cafepress.

you could also consider animals.... a la crickets or song birds. or stray cats. (their nighttime music needs love too)

or blowing into glass bottles/circling glasses with water, washboards, tap dancing, tambourine, cow bell, spoons, whoopie cushions, party blowers, rubber bands, maracas....

I think I want them to be legit instruments. Food for thought though, Mrs Outline.

If you ask me what should i do? i put "Alternative music" on the shirt, incorporate that as a nice background and redistribute the characters.

do you want it to be just a display of musical instruments, or are you looking for a twist.

i like it a lot just like this, but my friends expected something funny on it.

like a guy searching for his lost piano (on the back of the tee.)
