About my design

by Robsoul   
Music can tell stories too, stories of love, death, romance, life, etc.... Think of the Nutcracker Suite and the ballets, Disney's Fantasia (entirely set to music), sountracks from movies like Jackie Brown. But when I drew this I thought of a mixtape my wife gave to me when we first started dating and I left for college. On it were all the tracks we listened to over the summer, including many cuts from Massive Attack's Blue Lines album. That mixtape told a story of our love and time step together, I still have it, 10 years later. Another note, she's listening to the music on headphones, even though there are speakers, she's getting closer to her love, blocking out the world. Here's a closeup: http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/6356/listeningul2.gif

I like it, but I have to say that it reminds me a whole lot of the last design from here: http://www.stuffsucks.com/shirts.php



Still a good job, though.
