My Travel sub

For the Threadless Loves Travel II challenge.

Dear Everyone, have decided to move my house to Moscow by first-class air balloon, not sure when I'll be back. Will send you a postcard. Love, Terry

UPDATE: Just re-subbed this. It was up earlier today for voting but had to pull it for technical reasons and Mimi, bless her heart, was kind enough to help me out. Anyway, I apologize to anyone who voted or left comments. Thank you to all who did leave comments already, I read through them and they were wonderful!

UPDATE: It's up again so please vote/comment and for those who already did sorry again for the trouble.

UP FOR VOTING!

That is really awesome. I LOVE the orange glow behind the city, it really adds to the illustration.

spacesick 2 on Nov 04 '09 at 11:35am

so gorgeous.

igo2cairo on Nov 04 '09 at 11:44am

Thanks friends!

Alan - aw, that's so cool, what a great first word! :) My first word was apparently "airplane" except I had my own way of saying it which didn't sound like airplane at all.

alexmdc on Nov 04 '09 at 11:51am

WOW, love it. reminds me of the movie UP :D

artwork is top notch as usual, cant wait to 5$

HorsefaceDee on Nov 04 '09 at 11:52am

Fantastic Illustration..:)

charity.ryan on Nov 04 '09 at 12:08pm

WOW! all the other contestants are screwed!!! :)

skyfly on Nov 04 '09 at 3:05pm

this is really beautiful, and a cool idea. like alex said it reminds me of 'up' too.

brentendo on Nov 04 '09 at 3:07pm

wow! this is great! love the russian influences

SuperRyan on Nov 04 '09 at 3:10pm

that's beautiful!

Lhiiiz on Nov 04 '09 at 3:19pm

Ooo! That's lovely! I love the feeling it evokes.

alvarejo on Nov 04 '09 at 3:20pm

i'm in awe

jess4002 on Nov 04 '09 at 3:21pm

so stunning.

shirtflirt on Nov 04 '09 at 3:28pm

airplane was his second!

because we live right by long beach airport

olie! on Nov 04 '09 at 3:32pm

aaaaagghghhghhg I'm doing a hot air balloon design for this challenge too! Thanks for psychically stealing my idea and subbing it before me!

jk this is amazing terry. Really nice work :)

sonmi on Nov 04 '09 at 3:32pm

beautiful!

Pakpandir on Nov 04 '09 at 8:12pm

mate...all your stuff are trippy and excellent! This one is nothing short of wonderful

asdfghaya on Nov 04 '09 at 8:15pm

wow, this is lovely.

I am also in love with St Basil's Cathedral. So. Yeah. Wow.

NiNTH WHEEL on Nov 04 '09 at 8:22pm

Love the way you've illustrated the city, but I actually prefer the original version without. This is, overall, a better illustration, but I think it's a better tee the other way.

From the response though, I'm sure I'm in the minority.

evan3 on Nov 04 '09 at 8:24pm

are you opifan64?

evan3 on Nov 04 '09 at 8:24pm

wait, brothers or cousins?

igo2cairo on Nov 05 '09 at 12:36am

Thanks for the kind words people. :)

shirtflirt on Nov 04 '09 at 3:28pm
airplane was his second! Wow, no way! I guess kids are just naturally fascinated by flying things so it makes sense.

Sam - you can never have too many air-balloon designs as far as I'm concerned. :) Can't wait to see yours, I'm sure it's awesome.

Matt - you know what? I actually agree and if given a choice would rather wear the simpler version, but it would seem foolish to go against popular demand and every person I've asked in my family prefers the cathedral version. I think maybe what I'll do is have a link to the simpler version in my opening comment.

Evan - I've already told you, we're the first successful human clones!

B 7 on Nov 05 '09 at 12:38am

So perfect
Congrats on winning the comp. Have fun in Oz

igo2cairo on Nov 05 '09 at 12:42am

Lol. Thanks Ben, I wish I had your confidence. Just wait until you see all the other awesome designs this comp is bound to attract.

Aphte on Nov 05 '09 at 12:52pm

ô_ö ?
Wasn't it available for scoring ? I came back to 5'$ it but where it is ?? Or maybe was I wrong ?

igo2cairo on Nov 05 '09 at 1:45pm

It was Aphte , sorry for the confusion.

I apologize to anyone who voted on this or left comments, had to pull it for technical reasons but will re-sub it so it should be up again soon. Thank you to all who did leave comments already, I read through them and they were wonderful! Please vote on it again when it goes up again and sorry for the trouble.

Aphte on Nov 05 '09 at 2:02pm

No problem Terry ! I've just thought it was weird, because the design kicked ass so much I was frustrated to be unable to score it :D

igo2cairo on Nov 05 '09 at 2:07pm

Thanks Daniel! :D

evan3 on Nov 05 '09 at 3:08pm

oh
you are brothers
okay :)

evan3 on Nov 05 '09 at 3:08pm

i like how you collabed with yourselves on autumn chameleons

charity.ryan on Nov 06 '09 at 8:38am

Whew! you had me worried! I sent someone a link to your design and they said they could get there and then I couldn't either!

can't wait to vote it again!!:)

The Paper Crane on Nov 06 '09 at 8:50am
