this is what happens when you stack your board games on top of each other for too long...



tried a hand-drawn style instead of taking the "easy" way out and doing it fully in illustrator (i've plenty of graphic design experience, but all computer-based). i think it worked more or less but i couldn't get the inked lines as smooth as i wanted them.



comments welcome, and thanks.

so here's the "illustrator only" version for comparison...obviously cleaner, i think. also made the Sorry baby a bit bigger.

HAHAHA... hahaha... wow.

ha, thanks.



/a number of people in my office have your haiku type tee. it's a staff favorite around here

it didnt click with me that they are board game pieces.

m

are Life and Sorry not ubiquitous enough?

i was never a sorry fan, and life has so much goin on with the board, cards, etc that i never really thought about the pieces. how about like, the tophat from monopoly as one of them?

m

heh. i can see an entire scene with 5 of the monopoly pieces. hmm...i think i might try that if I can't get this idea to work.

yea, just EVERYONE had monopoly, u kno? i had monopoly, bostonopoly, star wars monopoly, the list goes on.

m

everyone has monopoly, but nobody likes it

Hey look, a Robot Chicken ripoff.

:blinks:

:searches youtube:



aw, bugger. well,

i wouldn't call it a rip off.....two different themes

right, well that's why i'm asking if this specific theme has been done. if so, then i'm retreading...if not, then i figure i can continue working with it.

I remember the Sorry pieces looking like that but I completely forgot what The Game of Life pieces look like. You do realize you're going to get a lot of sophomoric "LOOK A PENIS!" jokes. It's a cute concept but I agree about using the Monopoly pieces instead. One other thing to consider. There's a very similar concept that already printed: http://www.threadless.com/submission/66639/You_ve_got_some_splaining_to_do so regardless of whether you score high marks, I wonder if Threadless would want to print another shirt with the same theme.

ah, thanks for the link, Kookaberry...yeah, it's pretty much the same thing, so this one's done...

i liked the first version better...
