It isn't a trace - I used that image from the same source that Wondermark did - an open source, royalty-free, PUBLIC DOMAIN collection of old patents and engravings. You can see from the detail that mine is entirely unique linework, executed much differently (and better) than the original woodcut.

to 5115:



Have you ever used Illustrator? Because I want to know how simple you think it would be to use an image that small and try to "retrace" it? You can barely enlarge the image from Wondermark enough to see the facial expressions have been changed. Also, are you aware that almost every image from your beloved comic strip is a public domain image? All he has done is cut and pasted these images together. But somehow that doesn't offend your delicate and highly evolved sense on design. Just let me know what your design experience is. I am curious.

I gotta say I´m with 5115, you can back it up legally, but noting was added to it, its not your idea.

(It wouldn't let me comment on the actual t-shirt page so that's why I gave you the score here)
