WTF is up with the sketchy look?

about La Gran Reuni�n

What's going on with a lot of the shirts recently looking like they've just been sketched on some pad paper and filled in with a bit of colour?

They don't look fresh and clean but look like messy drafts

This weeks offenders are namely "A Tall Tale", "Northern Ice Pilot", "Treasure Map", "Sink Yourself".

Maybe it's just a style that I don't appreciate. Shit just ain't fly.

you...are a silly head. Some were obviously done in illustrator, and are as clean as can be.

I actually prefer the sketched versions.. the clean ones can be a bit boring and too fundamental.

This one doesn't look sketched at all. It has clean line and solid shadows so WTF?!

Have you ever looked at a sketch? I dont know many sketches that look as finished as any of those listed designs. They probably wouldnt be sketches if they did.

much prefer the more sketchy finish. Though it's not even sketchy.. it looks finished. "it's just a style that [you] dont appreciate".

it's all good.

you can't win all the time.

sink yourself is totally clean, and would have taken a really long time to draw.

What's wrong with sketches on shirts? Not all designs should look clean. And vice versa. Variation is good.

I like this look myself. I have clean shirts too just depends on the design.

The shit is fly. Very fly. All the shirts you've mentioned have been the best I have seen on here in about 3 weeks. Sink Yourself is my favorite this week followed by Tall Tale. I have been disappointed in recent weeks with the onslaught of shirts banking on childish puns. This week has restored my faith in Threadless. Sometimes things can be too clean. Do you clip your chest hair?
