Wanted to stop in and thank everyone who asked for this to be printed, my first design to be put on a hoody. This is my favorite design so far and I am glad you appreciate it as well.

I hope this doesn't influence anyones decision to buy or not buy but I felt after it was printed it could use some explanation.
The quote in the original sub:
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin

The skull represents you and me... the ornate design on the skull shows our unique personality and our beauty. The gasmask represents the walls we build to "protect ourselves" from the possible harm in the world. And the fumes coming from the mask are the individuals we create to calm our fears.

Now thats deep.

I'm so glad you posted this. :) I was wanting to ask about the specifics of how the quotation was reflected in the design.

It certainly is deep. It's not really my style, but I definitely like the thought put into it. Congrats on the print!

I love the sentiment and I love the design. One of my favourites on Threadless. I got the tee and the hoody because I'm a greedy bastard. I will probably wear them both at the same time.

It looks amazing on the hoodie, but how many of them do i need? I'll get the shirt for now and see if the obbsession takes a hold of me to spend the extra 40 dollars on a later date.

Congrats Ellswhere for enriching our lives with an amazing design we can all wear and for the design in turn to enrich your life with contest winning cash!

Check out the awesome dude who's stealing your art and not even giving you credit.

And see how he blatantly disrespects you (and art in general) here.

Do something about it, if you care. I hope you care. I care.
