I think it would be a 5 if the kiwi sillouete also had the goggles with the straps dangling down or something. But that'll take it away from the depressed-ness of it all.

I like it. =]

personally i think it's pretty funny, but part of it's due to an inside joke concerning kiwis. But everyone knows kiwis are funny.

i think it's a great idea but the design is a little too simple.

Wow! This is the most amazing shirt I have ever seen. if I could buy any shirt in the world this wouldbe it. You could not give me a price that I wouldn't pay for this shirt.

Kiwi is an awesome word/bird/fruit. I'm so glad it's not a penguin. You get double-bonus-happy-fun-points for that. 5$!

like the design, ambivalent about the colors, maybe just because the word kiwi makes me think of green :P

the goggles idea would be fun to try for a different shirt.

Great suggestion meldoy, I'd buy that! Kiwis are cool. I'd like it more if it was a little more funny and a little less sad.
fabcupcake
fabcupcake on Dec 08 '06
love the idea. not black, though. maybe a color that's more natury or just more subtle in general? would like to see some flying birds more in the foreground as well.

I don't think this design is stealing anything from the youtube animation. Just because it's the same species of bird doesn't mean he copied it from anywhere.
That being said, even though this shirt is a real Debbie Downer I would still wear it. Kiwis are cute. I do agree with the comment from fabcupcake about putting more birds closer in the foreground... that way the kiwi might not look quite as big in comparison (and yes, I do realize there is supposed to be some aspect of distance between the two). Overall though, great job!

For some reason it made me laugh when I first saw it. Don't know if I'll wear it though :(

I think you've only used two colors (if I'm counting correctly). I think you should add some more depth to the drawing of the Kiwi with some other shades of color. That being said, I am going to be studying abroad in NZ from Feb. t0 Nov. and I would kill for this shirt. 3$, and I think with a bit of reworking it would definitely be a 5$.

awww, poor guy. I agree that more colors would make it better but it's a great idea!

Hmmm, one larger tear would be better than all those little ones. Also, you could try it as a central design with the flock of birds as a background to the kiwi.

Maori legend says that the Kiwi's wings were taken away so they would protect the trees of the forest. Kiwi's are not ashamed of their inability to fly. A most noble sacrifice the kiwi made. Knowing is half the battle.
