About my design
by cbuchholz   
Before Columbus, sailors feared falling off the edge of a flat Earth. (P.S. I realize that the first man credited with the idea of a spherical earth was actually Pythagoras, but Pre-Pythagoras doesn't really have a good ring to it.) Comments and criticisms welcomed!

i like it - but the composition seems a little odd - because the edge of the world shouldn't have a bottom (at least not in my mind) - - - i'd like to see the main image a little larger, with the edge extending out further, and the drop-off also extended much further down the torso, and (keep the drips off the bow) but move the carnage either to the bottom corner of the tee or centered on the upper back

i dont think it was pythagoras either, at least not for the FIRST time of "discoveration"

yes i like the idea, perhaps do away with the skulls at the bottom and center it, it would be awsome.

You are one of the most amazing designers on this site! I love your work... and I love this shirt ... please don't hate me... but the Vikings actually made a landing in North America way before Columbus (Leif Erikson, 11th century). The Chinese also made a pre-Columbus landing. Additionally, can I just say that Columbus was a hack.
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Dec 05 '06
Thanks for the comments Bluestocking! I don't hate you. I rather enjoy these brief history lessons. If you notice though, I did include a disclaimer at the top of the page that addresses your concerns. As mentioned above, the titles Pre-Chinese, or Pre-Leif Erickson just do not have a good ring to them, nor do they convey the same concept to an average viewer. So, yes, I'm pandering to the incorrect views of history that are prevalent in this country. Call it creative license. Plus, to be exact, the bible writer Isaiah mentioned that the earth was round well before any of them during the 8th century. Thanks for the comments!
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Dec 05 '06
Oh, and yes, I agree. Columbus was a Hack. :)

The colors look fantastic. I think the placement would look better just a tad bit lower. Other than that = $5.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I would be cool with moving the placement down a little lower. It does look a tad high now that I look at it.

kjerstinator
kjerstinator on Dec 08 '06
I don't think the Vikings would have a problem with representing a flat earth. They were more concerned with encountering the Midgard serpent, and whether they would die in battle. Because everyone wants to spend all of their afterlife battling each other for fun and getting drunk with the Valkyries, right? $5

Alex M. Solefish on Dec 10 '06
This is beautiful, but I agree with hylianhero that the bones should be placed at the very bottom corner of the shirt. Great job, though -- 5$

nice concept, but why bones? i thought the 'edge of the earth' theory always included a never-ending falling...no bones. 5
