that is so messed up, i love your work, but that kid has no legs,
|
 |
mezo on Mar 16 '07 Not only are you getting a 5$ for spot-lighting a kid with amputated legs...but also because this has a thoughtful message & it is rendered in a lovely manner.
|
 |
For some reason, I feel like the men actually fighting should be the pieces the boy is playing with, and not having him play with figurines in the middle of a war. Especially because, if you leave it the way it is, the proportions of the army men with that vehicle look off anyway - I feel the message might be more powerful the other way around. Maybe? I dunno - I'm no artist.
I do like the amputated legs (as sick as that sounds) and I really like the artwork. I think your drawings are excellent and it's a great concept. 4 for now, with potential to be a great design. |

wotto on Mar 16 '07 I see the point but I would never wear this.
|
 |
war may not be a game, but a kid with no legs is a little too far. the ribbon sub was good but this one is TOO powerful, im still gonna give you a 4 though bc i love the drawing, i just wouldnt wear it
|
 |
Flying Mouse on Mar 16 '07 Yeah, I think someone will wear this, and someone not. Just let me know what you think anyway.
You will wear this? |
 |
Orange~On~Orange on Mar 16 '07 Wow, a really well rendered and powerful statement - but that is one complex and horrible issue and I am not sure a t-shirt is the best place for it. Or at least not a commercially driven t-shirt product. Perhaps if the proceeds went to innocent war victims it would be appropriate.
|
 |
wonderful style, and i like the colors.
|
 |
very powerful, but it might be a little bit overboard. 5$ nonetheless, the artwork and message are wonderful and work well together.
|
 |
Max F on Mar 16 '07 awesome
|
 |
Immensely powerful message, but as others have said, I don't think I could wear this. It's too intense of a subject for people to be wearing...the illustration is amazing, but probably not for a shirt.
|
 |
i like the illustration, but its kind of hard to see
|
 |
I'm not usually big on war-themed subs, but I love this one. It's very nicely done. 5$
|
|
Flying Mouse on Mar 16 '07 Maybe this design is a bit to far, it's really happen in the real world, though.
|
|
Flying Mouse on Mar 16 '07 too far,
|
|
i didn't realize the kid had no legs at first.
you should make him have legs and be just a little boy playing. |
|
Flying Mouse on Mar 16 '07 I do agreed if just a normal boy playing there with this scene can bring out the theme, but it will failed send out the message to let ppl know, how sucks of War are.
|
 |
I think just having the legless kid playing with the plastic war toys alone would send the message loud and clear. The rest is extra.
|
 |
o my gosh. the kid has no legs.
o well it's still awesome. |
 |
castle on Mar 16 '07 props for the message!
|
 |
Luke... on Mar 17 '07 great concept...i mean, OUTSTANDING concept.
|
 |
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Mar 17 '07 war is a card game.
|
 |
herky on Mar 17 '07 great concept and illustration, I like it on white.
|
 |
really great, i love your style and i think this message is really appropriate
|
 |
yep
|
 |
kaloyster on Mar 17 '07 Flying Mouse is a guerilla artist with a good message to show people. Great job!
|
 |
Ellsswhere on Mar 17 '07 this is awesome... props on the no leg thing. I think the composition could use some work though, remove the top stuff and have him playing with alot more toys... little tanks that shoot and stuff, make the toys actually fight, i think it would still get the point out there
|
 |
i cannot believe how many people have issue with the boy not having legs. people can't pretend everything is a pretty picture perfect moment, there are consequences of war that should not be ignored.
|
 |
Probably people, such as me, don't want to wear around something that is so sad and so true at the same time, we want to go around with somwthing wee and meaningless that wn't make us think how unfair the world is. But I admire the fact that you put this here, it is really well done and it deserves to be somewere if not on a shirt. 5
|
 |
i dig the design and get your point, a billboard but not a shirt! great drawing though!
|

$5 I would wear this to a ISO meeting, if I find one in the area I am living in now... I used to go every week when I attended college and went to the national convention even though I'm not a socialist. This shirt is outstanding, I love it. If it doesn't win, I am going to be outraged, outraged I tell you!
|
|
$5 I think going to far is why it's so good. Too many people want to soften the reality. I would wear this shirt.
|
 |
beautiful design as always, with a cut-to-the heart message.
|
|
war is necessary some times when dealing with people that don't come to the table for talks. blowing children's legs off is only purposely done by 2 people... terrorists and terrorists.
|
|
PS... think carefully about that...very carefully.
|
 |
way too political. I'm looking at it and i love it but I can't imagine being comfortable by making eople uncomfortable while wearing it. It evokes a feeling that I don't know if folks are ready for while walking down the street, at the grocery store or at a pub.
|
|
Flying Mouse on Mar 19 '07 Lurl, got one weapon call "land mine".
|
|
I like how the art is centered around her boob. That was good design, my friend.
|
 |
jpiatt on Mar 20 '07 POWERFUL! $5
|
|
like concept and especially like placement, but don't think I would wear it.
|
 |
it has the potential and it's a really great design but i can't see myself wearing it.
|
 |
5$
|
 |
Manos on Mar 21 '07 Strong concept with a serious message. You don't find those two often here. Regardless that I don't prefer it in the context of a t-shirt design I will score it $5 and wish you best of luck with it.
|
|
Flying Mouse on Mar 21 '07 THanks Manos ;)
|
 |
This was very traumatic for my soul.
|
|
I really hope this gets printed, I would totally wear this.
|
 |
Wow.
|
 |
The message and the shirt and everything is just flat out Amazing!!!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 23 '07 I'd rather this design be just the boy and the rocket truck behind him blown up to more easily illustrate the messge on this shirt. But any way this is printed i would be buying it...Flying Mouse wins the award for most Productively Awesome Threadless Designer in the Last Month!
|
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 23 '07 4$ by the by.
|
 |
Cor! Took me a while to decypher that, and then I was quite taken aback. Well done, sir!
|
 |
make poster, not t-shirt! the message is powerful.
|
 |
I think it's gorgeous and I wish it could have some proceeds go to a war orphans fund or something.
I also want to point out that a little boy, perfectly unaffected by a world at war and playing with his soldiers would probably be read as a child imagining what he wants to be when he grows up. It's the upset of it that conveys the message. I'd buy it for sure. |
