No illustration. This is perfect how it is. I adore it.

parabolic on Oct 21 '06 at 5:33pm

Sweet as-is. Leave it.

Skipper6745 on Oct 21 '06 at 5:36pm

I love the experimental things you are doing lately. Very very cool.

xiv on Oct 21 '06 at 5:52pm

very cool.

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 6:06pm

awesome, thanks for the help. I felt like this was sufficient, but had a doubt or two.

I'll just go with this :)

Kojima on Oct 21 '06 at 6:07pm

what does it mean?

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 6:11pm

It refers to passive aggressive style fighting/conflict. Everything becomes madly frustrating during the bout, because very action can be seen from more than one perspective, that things usually escalate badly based on false assumptions and general neuroses.

The ... of course, is the elipsis, which one would use in writing if filling out what was missing, was up to the other party/reader.

martiandrivein on Oct 21 '06 at 6:13pm

yeah...interesting...but not sure I quite get it enough to give you my full support

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 6:17pm

If you notice, the letters can be seen from two perspectives, as you alter your eyes' perception. They can be looking up to the left, or down to the right; this completes the analogy I mentioned above.

chelly on Oct 21 '06 at 6:23pm

it is so hard to rate these shirts now that the slogan tees are out there. i fear you may get a low score because of it. i like how it toys with the eyes though. :)

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 6:30pm

I thought about that Chelly, but we'll just have to see what happens I guess :)

Laborpsus on Oct 21 '06 at 6:32pm

This is much better than any slogan tee I've seen yet.

Nice job again, spires. $5 from me when it's up for votin'!

Monkey II on Oct 21 '06 at 6:34pm

one of your best in my opinion

chelly on Oct 21 '06 at 6:34pm

i don't worry so much about the ppl in the blogs, but the other thousand plus voters. maybe the threadless staff will see past them though.

are you going to put it out in other colors too?

helladelightful on Oct 21 '06 at 6:36pm

aww james i LOVE this

c_schrei on Oct 21 '06 at 6:39pm

please let it be printed IN THAT COLOR! can't wait to 5$ it

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 6:49pm

It can pretty much work in every color except black and perhaps dark grey, but I realllllly like this color the most.

thanks for the support guys! will sub tonight.

Jexwell on Oct 21 '06 at 6:50pm

that is the color of our powderpuff football team.
woah

staffell on Oct 21 '06 at 6:50pm

i agree with monkey

fc gravy on Oct 21 '06 at 6:51pm

i really likey!

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 7:47pm

whee! I'm psyched.

msm on Oct 21 '06 at 7:52pm

studies show that it is actually possible to think too much ... that increasingly complex and layered thought processes can spiral into eventual nonsense and result in a total waste of time

or something

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 8:04pm

I won't waste much time pondering your comment, then

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 8:14pm

subbed

firebolt816 on Oct 21 '06 at 8:54pm

whoa, i just spent about ten minutes looking at the words from the left and then from the right...it blows my mind! ah!

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 9:39pm

haha, it can be addicting

margolove on Oct 21 '06 at 9:42pm

ohh wow! I really love this one. Wonderful design, I would wear it/buy it in a hearbeat.

bananaphone on Oct 21 '06 at 10:04pm

did you take screenshots of moving text with the illustrator cs2 3d text tool or outline modes or insane enough to actually draw this =P

spires on Oct 21 '06 at 10:18pm

It's an extrusion using CS, wireframe.

I'm not that insane!!!

snittleface on Oct 22 '06 at 12:09pm

you never talk so it is pretty easy to assume the worse. since you like making people think the worse.

i really like this shirt. good job.

Bramish on Oct 22 '06 at 12:15pm

Really really nice!

Some of your recent stuff is great!

speedyjvw on Oct 22 '06 at 12:17pm

well done man
very different and awesome

squeegebeckenheim on Oct 22 '06 at 12:20pm

i really like it. i'm just unsure about the exclamation mark on the right side.

spires on Oct 22 '06 at 3:22pm

thanks guys! :) I had fun making this.

snittleface on Oct 22 '06 at 4:35pm

please...

spires on Oct 22 '06 at 8:50pm

Bramish on Oct 24 '06 at 5:55pm

Upon viewing this again, I've decided that I want it printing more than most stuff I've seen recently. Although, to be honest, I haven't looked at subs in around three months.

Way to damn you with faint praise eh?

spires on Oct 26 '06 at 5:14pm

:) Thanks Bramish! Even if you haven't seen many subs, I still appreciate your interest!
