This one's for surfing, this one's for typing...

great 5$

thebabe_2 on Nov 30 '06

i like it. maybe is boystout blue would be awesome 5$

pinup-artist on Nov 30 '06

you should just take it all the way and make it either blue (like mentioned above) or girl scout green or at least draw the sash in. i love the way you did the patches though.

valorandvellum on Nov 30 '06

Nice idea!

brenden_strang on Nov 30 '06

fantastic illustration.

mag391 on Nov 30 '06

great if there were patches on the sleeves and drew in the sash.

jstumpenhorst on Nov 30 '06

i actually like it without the sash. nice work.

styx021 on Nov 30 '06

you got the color right (boy scout shirts are tan) thebabe_2 mentioned "boyscout blue" but really, the cub scout shirts are blue. The actual sash that the badges are on is a dark green. Using REAL merit badges would've been cooler.

lsmc88 on Nov 30 '06

haha, deep space monkey. I love that movie! anyways, just for that, I'm gonna give this a 4

appear_my_dear on Nov 30 '06

i like it just the way it is, no sash.

J v on Nov 30 '06

could it be possible to increase the length of the "sash" with more buttons? I really like it regardless though. good job!

andyg on Nov 30 '06

Well done

crowlz11 on Nov 30 '06

sexcellent. and brilliant.

runningwithcolours on Nov 30 '06

i think its excellent as is, i think if you drew the sash in people might be saying why would they want to wear a scout sash? it looks good, great idea!

manskull on Nov 30 '06

Better without the sash!

firebolt816 on Nov 30 '06

great idea, very clever, and i think it fits the theme really well.

ysy101 on Nov 30 '06

that's such a great idea! 5

morganian on Nov 30 '06

I think it's good you don't have a sash as suggested by others as not ALL countires boy scouts wear sashes? in the UK when I was a bot scout the badges were just sewn onto the sleeve of our sweater.

gillianyvonne on Nov 30 '06

if this gets printed they should use a lot of puff additive, then they actually look like patches on the shirt. we did it at my shop this week, it's really cool.

sarahps on Nov 30 '06

it was a challenge to do this without going outside of the 16" x 16" printable area on the front of the shirt. I think it will look cool peeking out under a jacket, or maybe a brown polyester cardigan like we used to have in girl scouts.

xiiiin on Dec 01 '06

let's see it on girlscout green!!

LauraJerry on Dec 01 '06

I'd like to see it on a different color shirt. I'd also like to see what it would look like with and actuall sash background/outline/frame arround the badges. I love the concept though!

booboo135 on Dec 01 '06

ohhhh. perfect you captured 'girlscouts' hehe . no colour change, tis perfect. it its printed id buy it straight off. i miss girl scouts...

jihan777 on Dec 01 '06

green is good. cute idea!

soliejete on Dec 01 '06

I'd like it on brown. does anyone remember the Brownies?

lcmpbll on Dec 01 '06

Love it!

bspot17 on Dec 01 '06

printed on blue or green would be awesome! $5

MooseDinner on Dec 01 '06

awesome idea. I'd like to see it with a sash

raedear on Dec 01 '06

I like the fact that the sash is just implied. No reason to get overly literal.

I also like the sassiness of the patch-activities - they remind me of what my girlhood was actually like - vinyl playing, combat boot-wearing, 18+ show-going, in contrast to the unrealistic wholesome prissiness of actual girl-scout expectations.

sarcastickisses on Dec 01 '06

I like it just the way it is unless you could make more patches that go up to the shoulder. i would absolutely buy this. 5$

god of wax on Dec 01 '06

Great idea and it looks just right. 5$

thekheshirekat on Dec 01 '06

i actually have this shirt in grean with the sash and the patches actually had some gold in it, though i like the colors in this one

Echan on Dec 02 '06

cool idea, I like it

kinda reminded me of that, but i like urs better 4

spinnersun on Dec 02 '06

cute idea :)

samanthaflute on Dec 02 '06

I think it'd be even better if you add more patches and made it go right up to the sleeve on the shoulder. But, it's a great idea.

dnbandjoe on Dec 03 '06

ubercoolische

dangerrodgers on Dec 03 '06

i would wear this.

phones on Dec 03 '06

well drawn but i feel you've missed some great potential for jokes.

numbernine on Dec 03 '06

I don't know why everyone is suggesting you change it, I think its perfect the way it is.

geophurry on Dec 04 '06

Lovely, lovely, lovely. 5 and $.

slcour on Dec 04 '06

perfect for the ex-girlscout in all of us

xxErynn on Dec 04 '06

they already make this shirt someoplace else.. mabye it's fredflare? or something?

theloniousmonkey on Dec 05 '06

This shirt rocks! Just the right tone. The individual badges are smart and well done--my favorites are the mix tape, the black cat and the car! (roadtrip!) And of course 18+.

SLY! I give it a 5! $$
