Is Threadless your full time job? Where do you find the time?

rathergreen on Feb 05 '07

Beautiful light effects! There's something I love about bare bulbs in dark rooms.

jublin on Feb 05 '07

wow leon. you've gotten so damn good at these textures. You've perfected it to a T. (i don't think that's a saying, but for some reason it sounds right.)

Eerie... I love it!

d3d on Feb 05 '07

Looks like you used live trace.
i took a photo of gravel and used live trace to make a one-colour texture object from it, but otherwise it's all hand drawn and the textures were built up in layers.

realslimnatey on Feb 05 '07

d3d on Feb 06 '07

Definitely Live Trace! but looks nice!!
Once again, I assure you that i only used live trace to create a black and white texture object from a photo of gravel. I don't appreciate the implication that i've cheated somehow.

firebolt816 on Feb 06 '07

oh wow, this is great

PaparazziMusic on Feb 06 '07

Extreme devotion to this design. I want to be wearing it right now.

ekaj47 on Feb 06 '07

using live trace is not cheating - its saving time - who cares if you save time - its smart, thats the beauty of technology

your last few subs with textures have been great - i almost wish there was something different in the light bulb though

anniekat on Feb 06 '07

daydreamz on Feb 06 '07

d3d on Feb 07 '07

you know how moths always flutter around lights like they want to get at the light source? this one did and now he's trapped. it's metaphorical.

missed scoring this, but thought i'd chime in. flawless design, i'd definitely buy this if it gets printed.

Rock Deputy on Feb 26 '07

you know.. a lot of people on here are saying that Leon used Live Trace...

however, you can tell by the fine detailing and delicate texturing that he made this in Mario Paint... probably using the Power Glove.

Congrats on the score, Leon!

MeLa de Gypsie on Feb 28 '07

THREE CHEERS!!!
