About my design
by kennnnnnnnnn   
This is based off one of the most recognizable images in film history, a scene from George Melies' 105 year old film called Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon), in which crazy astronomers shoot a rocket out of a cannon into the moon's eye, and explore it's surface. You can watch it on youtube if you like.

I felt such a strong iconic image as the moon (with albeit a modern) rocket in it's eye appropriate for a film festival tshirt that celebrates film and film making, as George Melies pioneered many moviemaking techniques, and created the first science-fiction film ever.

Best,
Kenneth.

Not digging the gold for this design, but i like what youve done with the parody. Not since the "Tonight, Tonight" Smashing Pumpkins video have i seen someone give that image the proper justice and placement it deserves! At first, i thought there were little people at the bottom of the moon which i even like more, but then realized it was just your image coming through! Good stuff.

Would have scored it higher had it had a little more accuracy.

It should have been designed with a Saturn V rocket, Apollo spacecraft, lunar lander or command module in the eye, but not a space shuttle.
Shuttles have never been used to go to the moon, just to ferry satellites or other payloads into orbit.

...also the space shuttle isn't a rocket.

nice work...as for the need for accuracy, come on, its an interpretation using popular culture motifs...the shuttle is totally fine...it adds to the noir effect

I like it a lot, but the bit of the moon that seems to have melted down over its mouth REALLY bothers me... it looks as if his nose is running. Without that, it's a buy.

it's only accurate to the original: http://filmyear.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/trip_to_the_moon.jpg

and in motion, it's super oozing/dripping off his face. it IS pretty gnarly looking.

as a science geek - i kinda have to agree that a lander of some sort would have been preferable to the shuttle - and the yellow saddens me - otherwise awesome and, yes - perfect for tribeca

great departure from your usual freakish illos of little creatures, birds and fat women, but just as amazingly freakish nonetheless.

5$, but I would prefer it on a dark blue shirt, it would give the surroundings more of a space-feel.

By the way, the shuttle in it makes it so much better, almost as if its making a jab at modern space efforts :-D

Ooh, it's all sticky! It's covered in jam!

lol sorry, random Eddie Izzard quote. ;)

Anyway, I give you a 4 because I kind of don't get it. But you get kudos for having a title in French. So I'll make it a 5. :)

the space shuttle is at an awkward angle. i think it should be going INto the moon, not kind of striking it tangentially...
