okay, here's the thing...I want a tattoo, but...after thinking about it for some time, I decided I wanted one of Gertie the Dinosaur, because she represents two things I dearly love; dinosaurs and animation, yay!
the problem is, all of the images I can find of her on the internet are too small or too blurry or both, I can't find a fairly large, clean image I can give to the artist to show them what I want...the basic image of Gertie is also a little simple and while I don't want to deface Winsor McCay drawing I would like to make it a BIT more detailed with some shading and some background or whatever...SO...i thought, where should I come to find someone who could design such a thing? why Threadless of course! SO...here's the deal...design me a badass Gertie the Dinosaur tattoo and if I end up using it...you get a free shirt of your choosing and I'll send you a package with some other crazy cool shit in it. here's a bad illustration to refresh your memory and get you started ![]() and the film of course |
"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."
