About my design

by cbuchholz   
The old record was broken, never to be heard again. After all, the churning sea was, and always would be, their song; the soundtrack to his former life with her. Now, a sad new song plays from within.

The sad new song text is not included on the T-shirt by the way.

MAN! A man in the shell idea? That is brilliant! The inner wallpaper of it is gorgeous, too. I know the lady in the boat on the outside of the desing is probably relevant to the song, but I don't like it with the main design....it makes it off balance. But the shell & man alone? That's a 5'er.

I like this - but the woman's hair makes me want ice cream.

It's the little things like the silhouette picture of the woman on the wall that make this design so extraordinarily excellent...it makes me want to just keep looking at it. PLEASE PRINT THIS THREADLESS! $5

Please stop. There is a finite amount of creativity in the universe, and you're just not leaving enough for everyone else. So go on vacation, find another hobby, whatever it takes for you to stop submitting these awesome designs.

i once read a story about an artist who felt that, for every beautiful work he created, he must destroy another thing of equal beauty to ensure balance in the world. you must have had to murder a fairy princess after designing this. nice.
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Dec 31 '06
Ha Ha! I like that comment icmedia! No fairy princesses were harmed during the production of this submission. Thanks everybody for the comments!
cbuchholz
   cbuchholz on Dec 31 '06
Hogboy and Mezo both brought out that they think it looks off balance. I respect their opinions alot because they're both incredible artists, but after thinking about it, I just don't think I'd be happy with the shell and only the man. I think you'd lose half of the concept, and the more interesting half at that. Does anybody else see balance issues?
danrule
   danrule on Dec 31 '06
are balance issues still around anymore?

I like as is, you've got great color sense.
jrmasm
   jrmasm on Dec 31 '06
my .$02 is that the bottom of the shell(lower right) balances out the woman leaving (upper left), with the red room being the focal point. I think you definetly need the woman leaving.

I know I'm late, but I just wanted to say I think is so incredibly beautiful. The Decemberists is my favorite band in the world and this hits the nail on the head. Why, oh why wasn't this printed!?

originalvirtuoso on Oct 30 '07
i could see why someone may think it off balance. it's the colour placement. there is no red in the larger blue area but there is blue in the larger red area.



technically. .. quite nice. the rendering is remarkable. i'm not familiar with the decemberists, but many people keep telling me i'd like them. so i can't account for the subject matter. altogether. . . well. . .i would have scored it well. but alas i look up and scoring is finished.



good job chris.

This is cool, to happen upon this so many days later, a beautiful sea-shell lost in the sands. This was before I was even on Threadless. What an awesome design and concept! Sad this was never printed. :(
