I wish this shirt would have its own theme music.

iDanSimpson on Jan 15 '07

this is the first design that i've seen portray sheet music well

Alpha Ryan on Jan 15 '07

Looks great, but dang thats a crazy amount of notes. I wouldn't change a thing though.

kayne on Jan 15 '07

The birds on the power lines has been done many times but I like this re-interpretation with the music notes. I like the top of the chest placement best. Good one.

aliasangel on Jan 15 '07

I think there is a commercial that does this...regardless I love this T 5$

Miss_Beasley on Jan 15 '07

Great take on the concept; nice art... and probably top placement. $5

resettheyears on Jan 15 '07

the only thing i'd change is to have the treble clef more aligned like the bass clef. it just seems weird to me for it to be so tilted. otherwise i'd love it and i'd definitely buy it!

steve_wirzba on Jan 15 '07

holy banannas! im picky when it comes to shirts on here, but this is soo awesome. no joke, i would buy it first day. im a musician, and i dunno, this just looks soo good. maybe a few less birds? i could be wrong tho. but anyway, this is AWESOME. $5

xobethanyjoyox on Jan 15 '07

omgosh i love this shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 most likely the top placement, just because... you're amazing!

terryb on Jan 15 '07

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$5

Nodus on Jan 15 '07

Delicious. Print plz. $5

HViper18 on Jan 15 '07

I love this shirt! It's the first not printed design I've come across so far that I would buy. I'd probably go for the top placement, but either look good to me. I sincerely hope this gets printed. Well done.

Lowfat on Jan 15 '07

so tight... 5

Lowfat on Jan 15 '07

were i more into music it would be 5$... i totally dig it tho..

JDOCDbadclowns on Jan 15 '07

Beautiful! $5.

iamdom on Jan 15 '07

great shirt!!!! 5$

mayreeuhm on Jan 15 '07

don't change a thinggg. it's beautiful $5 !

cluhrell on Jan 15 '07

This is really really good, It's clever, and I'm a big fan of earth tone coloured shirts. So I have no doubts to salute this design, I think I might look into buying this.

____no going back on Jan 15 '07

i like the bottom alignment best.

bj2design on Jan 15 '07

I like the concept very much

Quent on Jan 15 '07

Aliasangel is right I saw this done on a commercial. Some songwriter couldn't get the notes right and he looks outside and sees the notes spelled out by birds on the powerlines. Still a nice lookin shirt tho.

modulatetome on Jan 15 '07

the treble clef is too crooked, and i wish it wasnt on a white-ish color....and i like the top placement best

5$

checkel on Jan 15 '07

puke

LawnGeeNawTea on Jan 15 '07

i liek it on the bottom $5

lisarmarshall on Jan 15 '07

I like, but I am not a fan of the light colored shirts....what other color would be good?

lisarmarshall on Jan 15 '07

I don't know if I like the yellowish music notes in background...i like the subtlety of it, you have to look harder without the yellow notes/notations

JefftheStud on Jan 15 '07

top. love it. gonna buy it.

Svetlana on Jan 15 '07

This is great. I don't know if I can deal with anymore cream-colored shirts though. 5!

xyu on Jan 16 '07

hmm maybe make the birds look more like music.. like a drum score would, the top line being snare, bottom kick drum etc, either way this is really cute and I've been looking for a shirt to wear to all my music classes. $5.

The placement on both is great. I'd buy, and I give you a 5.

super_suz on Jan 17 '07

great idea. $5.

Nhari on Jan 17 '07

Like it at the bottom. Maybe with a small design to echo it up on the left shoulder? (left if you're wearing it)
Could see that bird up there, and a few lines around it to continue the motion.

soccerfreaky on Jan 17 '07

Fantastic! $5

OldProspector on Jan 17 '07

swank

Xlator on Jan 18 '07

Stunning. If this doesn't get printed, there is something wrong with the world. I'd wear it until it fell off. $5

katolms on Jan 18 '07

jen52983 on Jan 18 '07

katesmarie13 on Jan 18 '07

SemantiTheft on Jan 20 '07

A "commercial" on PBS.

$5

nktaylor on Jan 21 '07

i really like the image down low

mrdeadhead on Jan 21 '07

i only wish i knew anything about music so i could this shirt and not feel like a jackass.

RickyJamesNicholes on Jan 22 '07

awesome. prefer chest placement. five.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 22 '07

Maybe the birds should be black like notes are and for a tad bit of differentiation in the design, but overall this is fabo. Low placement works really well for thie design, and even though it vaguely reminds me of the "ambition killed the cat" tee, yours is so nicely put together it surpasses that with several meanings...and shoulda been entered into the Josh Ritter contest as well. 4$.

radioeffect on Jan 22 '07

top placement & a print please. $5

BlairPaige on Jan 22 '07

Easily one of my favorites.

djdole on Jan 22 '07

This concept has already been done on that one commercial, (I forget the company, sorry.)

On a T shirt, it would have been better if the birds actually were placed to make sense musically, so as not to sound like a cat stepping on the keys of a piano. Possibly even use a recognizable score, like Beethoven's 5th or similar.
