I started out by scanning the original (from a time life book) for reference.

But how close to the original is too close? Is it ethical to trace it, if it still bears elements of my own artistic style? Or am I obligated to mimic it only by eye?

Above is an example of my style versus the original. (Unfortunately, I can't embed an image or a link because my account is broken and does not allow me to post HTML).

I figured the threadless community seems pretty keen on the issue of copyright, so I ask for your advice.]]> <![CDATA[Now that there are 5 colors available]]> Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:21:14 -0500 <![CDATA[this is just too cool not to post.]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 02:58:53 -0600

0 - Blasphemy / Atrocious.
No time or effort whatsoever
terrible execution
probably made me cringe
awful art
likely to involve a poorly drawn heart on the left breast

1 - Bad
You put SOME effort in, but the shirt is still a flop
nothing happening visually
very poor art
the idea was probably doomed to begin with
little true originality

2 - Mediocre
Some artistic talent displayed
Perhaps a poor idea with good execution, or vice versa
Not bad, but definitely not printworthy

3 - Good
Excellent in either execution or idea, but probably lacking in at
least one of the aforementioned aspects.
Possibly printworthy
has some sort of recognizable and thought-out style
I probably wouldn't wear it, but others likely would

4 - Excellent
If this were printed (and I have store credit left over) I would likely
get this.
Has a well-defined style.
Strong in all aspects: idea, style, execution, composition, colors, etc.
Original.
stands out among all other designs before it; I will remember this one.

5 - Reserved: Amazing.
This is the best shirt I have seen here in many weeks. There is something
very special about this shirt that totally blew me away. Print print
print.
Few 5's are ever given. A true 5 is really more of an unattainable ideal.

What's your scoring scale?]]> <![CDATA[dear threadless.]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2006 18:14:54 -0600
And for the last time, why can't I sort scored submissions by final score?]]>
