I was, and am, humbled by the sheer volume of response garnered when I asked if I could use the likenesses of the Threadless bloggers for a tee design.

It's funny to use such a trite phrase, but it's appropriate: This simply wouldn't have been possible without all of you. I mean, it's your heads for crap's sake!

To create some excitement and momentum, I wanted to see if the design could be completed in a single day - 30 unique portraits, seamlessly tiled, and set onto a shirt. In the end, I finished all the pencils in a single day, but needed a bit more time to close out the inks. I'm glad I didn't rush to conform to an arbitrary deadline; the end result is a piece that I am very proud of. Though, I still think I could've finished if I'd skipped a meal or two, heh.

In addition to the spirit of collaboration during the initial planning process, I really have to thank Threadless for taking the time to tinker with the color schemes presented and fudge with the scale of the heads on the shirt. Their efforts to make the best tee possible really helped this one along.

Thanks, everybody!
