beautiful idea, and the sperm shapes are real nice and organic. i can see this would have taken a hell of a long time. but unfortunately you have done what i always do and fall in love with the idea.

well done, i like it, just not on a tshirt

Is it supposed to be a pastiche of the famous 'love' design of the 60s? Or just a rip-off?

kidderliverpool: Robert Indiana's best known image is the word "LOVE" in a square with a tilted "O". This image, first created for a Christmas card for the Museum of Modern Art in 1964, was included on an 8 cent United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1973, the first of their regular series of "love stamps." Sculpture versions are on display at: Sixth Avenue in New York City; the Indianapolis Museum of Art; Scottsdale's Civic Center and in so called LOVE Park in Philadelphia. He is also known for painting the unique basketball court formerly used by the Milwaukee Bucks in that city's U.S. Cellular Arena, with a large M shape taking up each half of the court.

Infamously, Indiana failed to register a copyright for the work, and found it difficult to deter unauthorized commercial use. The image has been reproduced in countless times in varying forms, including sculptures, posters, and 3-D desk ornaments. It has been translated into Hebrew, Chinese, and Spanish. It strongly influenced the original cover of Love Story, the Erich Segal novel. It was parodied on the Rage Against the Machine album cover for Renegades. Artist Mathew Jones created an AIDS-protest homage that read "DEAD".

The design is really cool, but I wouldn't wear sperm on a t-shirt. Nor would I wear an egg. Unless it were a chisken or other animal egg that has a hard calcium shell.

Awwe I really like it. You worked so hard but a tee shirt...hmmm.

P.S. Why are people so mean on here.....think of the effort...stop with all this "Is that a rip-off?" crap because art is abow borrowing and making it your own and this person did just that. Seriously, grow up!

Funny, but different color. Also, the egg cell might need a little work. I dunno, I think it needs to be slightly more organic, not such a perfect circle with a perfect border. It looks more like a death star right now and not a cell.

I reallllllly like it, but I totally wouldn't weat it on a shirt.

I think I would hear too many "That's what she said jokes"
SomethingMore
SomethingMore on Jan 31 '07
This is a great idea. There are so many shirts out there that don't have a message just an excuse to put sperm on a shirt. You took it and gave it a meaning that has more than one side. This is great $5, $5, $5! GREAT JOB!

Here's to more sperm on t-shirts!

Seriously though, very slick design - I'd rock it in colour though.

what the heck sperm?
ajsolid84
ajsolid84 on Feb 03 '07
The conception of human life seems pretty in line with the message of "Love" to me. So the point at which a single sperm makes it to the egg cell seems to be one of the MOST appropriate ways to play with the LOVE design. So I think the sperm and the egg cell are perfectly fine.

Although, I wouldn't wear it.

There's a lot of detail in this: I wasn't sure what it was at first until I saw the close up...but...I don't think I'd wear it on a t-shirt.

Reminds me of a project my friend did for his sex ed class...he'd probably buy it, but I'm not sure if I ever would. But neat concept, and great detail.

I think you should make the sperm bigger. They aren't too noticeable.

I would make the sperm red and put it on a black shirt. I like it... maybe bit hard to wear though.

I think its amazing.

At first I only saw the LOVE, and then I looked closer and saw what it was and thought "wow"!

But as amazing as that is, I wouldn't wear it on a T-shirt... sorry.

5 but no $

I like it a lot but I would really confuse my friends if I wore it since I am anti-procreation. Good job though! 4

A fantastic design I'd wear on the day I teach "human reproduction" to my middle school students!
FlamingoBabe
FlamingoBabe on Feb 06 '07
The idea is good, but there are almost too much (many?) sperm. Having it all one color makes it blend together, and I think a lot of the beauty and line is lost.

Ahhh.. if only love had anything to do with it. =)

Your design is great though. Very creative.

schwa Cross on Feb 06 '07
in defense of kidderliverpool...it's a good question...are you trying to parody Indiana's design or are you ripping it off? (regardless if he copyrighted it or not). Try defending/supporting your design by not copying and pasting from answers.com.
There's my rant...
As for the shirt..clever and well crafted, but played out.

schwa Cross: if you can't figure that out for yourself, you're not old enough to post here. i copy from answers.com, cause i don't want to waste my time enlightning idiots.

this is actually really cool as an art piece, but not as much a shirt.
