I understand that he's spray painting the image and all, but I just don't like the yellow figure either. So he's from one of the movies, big deal, the other image is strong enough that he is not needed. Besides, he doesn't appear to be holding the can so much as it seems it has been stuck to him. The other cans look like cut outs as does he himself. The rest of the illustration is great, and it looks great with the shirt color. Either highly refine Mr. Yellow or get rid of him.

Bruce!!!!!! Awesome.

Shit, that background is AWESOME. I love the sketchy feel of the fighters combined with the clean line art of the dragon combined with the strong silhoette of the dude in the foreground. So many different styles come together AND STILL look cohesive. Amazing.

This also is one of the very few times where that splatter effect WORKS.

But I hate that lettering on the back of that track suit.

I like the yellow figure... but maybe a less vibrant yellow.

Image rocks.

I don't remember bruce lee being big in the 80's. He died in 1973. I'm voting this low since it doesn't fit the theme. Have Threadless put it in the regular running.

HELL YES!!!!

finally a good Bruce reference

Im a student of Jeet Kune Do...can you really say that? if you know Bruce and his teachings you know what i mean.


i would most definitely buy this, under no circumstances would i miss out on this one

I love this, the only thing I'd do is make the yellow figure's head more like Bruce's hair (round head not flat-top) and much thinner...he wasn't a big bulky guy...otherwise it's still awesome! $5

dig the line work and the paint splatters. don't know how you made those but I'm dying to know, myself. wouldn't buy it only because it's not my bag, but I like your style.

Amazing art, I'd definently buy this. But I agree that the yellow figure in the front should be a bit smaller in physique (more bruce like) and the hair should def. be rounder not so much a flat top. Otherwise...this is awesome.

Make the yellow figure a more sepia tone?
rub my pants there magical
i kind of liked this design then jimmytan just ruined it for me but being a dick. If you dont care what people think get your t-shirt printed elsewhere. I agree that the text on the yellow should go if not the guy himself.

Lose the sillouette figure and the spray cans at the bottom or maybe redraw the figure using the spray can in the style of Bruce Lee and I'd buy that for sure. 5

Very well done, but Bruce Lee was definitely biggest in the 70's in my experience (though of course his influence continues even now). Perhaps this could kick it in the regular competition? Best of luck to you!

2.47? This design deserves much more. Who knew that a simple yellow figure could make people score a terrific design lower.

This better be printed. I know tons of people who don't even have Threadless accounts that want this shirt.
