whale spirals
About the design
on February 7, 2007
this was inspired by a documentary i was watching where the whales would blow bubbles in spirals to round up krill.. and then they swim up the spiral to get to the concentrated krill in the center - i thought it was neat :D
its not showing up as clear but the whales are actually in 3 different shades of near black for sense of depth

Ok you finally got me!! I signed up simply so i can rate this shirt. Big juicy 5 bucks from me. You know i have a soft spot for whales! Next time design an orca one..
martialstudy
Good grief Tixielix!! I'd have bought 4 of your last 5 shirts!
This and the fox are my favs.
If threadless doesn't take something of yours soon, it'll be a travesty. Keep 'um coming!

so cute, i want to wear this!

Nice, i'd prefer it tho if the whales weren't facing down quite so much, maybe if they were a little more horizontal

I've really enjoyed all of your designs- would have purchased any of them! I want to wear this, but I'd love to get to vote on another hedgehog creation...

It's better than any Greenpeace shirt so far :D
A bit like DNA, but that doesn't matter, it's lovely.

i think its a little to 'dolphin-ey' for whales?? they dont really swim like that.. or are they dying?
tixielix
hotchiproll, watch some nature docos on whale behaviour - especially ne that shows whale spirals and u'll kno wat i mean

I'll pretty much buy anything with a cetacean on it. Also, humpbacks are my FAVOURITE. $5.

I, too, joined threadless simply to rate this shirt. Love it.
The topmost humpback looks a little odd (the way he's moving just doesn't seem to line up with the bubble trail), but I'd still buy the shirt!

COOL

Dood, I saw that documentary. Good design, but a little generic. If you faded the bubbles into DNA, however, that would be awesome.
tixielix
thanx for the comments gys! much appreciated

The whales look a little skinny. Maybe theyre suppose to be that way?

Very cool inspiration. I like the idea about the bubbles turning into DNA...not sure what it would "mean", but it sounds pretty damned interesting. I'd buy it.

DNA doesn't make sense to me. If anything there should be a humerous picture of some krill being mesmerised by the bubbles, about to get swallowed up.

ooo i want this! =]
