This is a lovely rendering of a modl, but why put it on a tee?

It's an Aunt Jemima mold. I studied this in my Food and Culture class. In the past, people associated black women with domestic work after seeing Jemima. Corey's design shows that Aunt Jemima is only a mold, not a real person. He wants us to learn that stereotypes should not be made from inaminate objects. This designer is a politician and a genius. He is truly a dieing breed...

Looks more like a piece of chocolate to me. I don't think many would get the Aunt Jemima reference, especially since it doesn't much look like her, just a regular lady.

hmm my first guess when i saw this *was* Aunt Jemima...not sure why, though

cutie

...reading a LOT from a t-shirt design...kind of like a poetry interpretation class...scary :)
didn't get the political reference at all

beautiful details

Awesome work, Corey!

aha - great

LMFAO @ Kojima

I hope like hell nobody ever over overanalyzes anything I do like that.

looks like a cookie

i would NEVER have thought "Aunt Jemima."
the designs on the clothing look Scandinavian to me, & it reminds me of the antique wooden butter molds from France & Germany.

Kojima- you don't think people associated black women with domestic work BEFORE the Aunt Jemima character (or Mammy figures in general) became popular? somehow I doubt that was the begining of the streotype!

thanks for all the nice words all!

* i leave my designs open to interpretation, and dont usually add too much explanation. i think designs are more interesting when you dont necessarily have the complete story or background. and you arent right or wrong in what an image makes you think of. so if it makes you think of a cookie or if it makes you think of looking beyond social stereotypes ... the main thing is to keep thinking about things, its all good!
