First submission.......

Threadless.com Submission - for a rounded diet

Hooray hooray! It's finally up! After a whole week of anxiously waiting, here it is....... and I've decided, after going a whole week without seeing it, that it's not a good as I originally envisioned it to be. Ah well, there has to be a first time for everything!

Nice work! I really like it (and I score a LOT of zeroes...)
Is the profile picture illustration yours, too?

pocket_penguin on Nov 16 '05 at 11:44am

Yes ma'm it is! I did that as a poster for a garden party while I was living in England. Very lovely party, it was.

Very lovely illustration. I love the circle dandelion fluff.

Your garden party poster is beautiful, and I really like the toucan (though my feeble mind didn't recognize the beer glass until I read the comments - probably b/c I'm not a beer drinker). I look forward to more of your submissions! :)

I like it too.

I love this one. I'd definately score it well, and even consider buying it (this from someone who doesn't wear printed shirts)

Casssita on Nov 16 '05 at 2:25pm

hmm, wait a sec. Ah, I'm stupid. I was commenting on the garden party illustration. Well, I like it anyhow. Toucan... yeah, the beer glass makes it a no for me. But the dandilion and bird, still gorgeous :)

I vaguely remember seeing an add for a beer company that featured a toucan with a beer (balanced on his beak perhaps) but for the life of me an can not remember what company it was for.

Oh, and it looked NOTHING like this stylistically, so Im not accusing you of not being original or anything, I'm just wondering if you saw it too? Or if by some freak chance there have been two toucan beer pairings ...

To whylime:

Haha, actuuuuallllyyy...... it's very very heavily inspired by the guinness advertisments of the 1930's and 40's, which I love so dearly!

I really, really like it
