Dandy means in French: an elegant person. I do not know if this word employment also in English

I love it. $5

love it

Something about this just creeps me out.

Hahah we use this word in Argentina too! Gotta love this shirt, 5$.

Back in 18th century England, Dandy was used as a term for gay men... not quite sure if I want to be wearinf a shirt associated with that, no offense to 18th century gay Brits.

SWEET JESUS I WANT THIS SOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING JOB, i MEAN WOW

J'aime beaucoup :) 5

Merci :D

love the design, maybe a little smaller on the shirt

I love the picture, but lose the text.

I...love...this!!! Whoa!

Yes...not sure how many people would want a shirt that proclaims "I am gay"

I mean...there are plenty of shirts that hint at that already :)

Creepy and cool. I'd wear.

illustration good - typography ugly

Cool $5

I agree w/ podium06

This made me laugh. I've never heard that it meant gay, I thought it meant overly concerned with appearances.

Hee! So strange and cute. I love the dapper raven-man. $4!

Back in 18th century England, Dandy was used as a term for gay men...

No, it was more like for their equivalents of metrosexuals and himbos. :p

Oh, but please on the grey/blue rather than on the creme/orange.

no text

I love it $5

This rocks but it needs work. I think the typography needs to be worked on for sure. it looks kinda sloppy.

To say that the term meant immasculine and not gay is to misunderstand what the former has meant throughout much of history. You're projecting to 18th century Britain a level of cultural sophistication currently absent in much of the southern US.

Put another way, from an 18th century Englishman's perspective: Fancy+French=Gay

i love it but maybe a little smaller and near the bottom of the shirt

But in the literature I've studied featuring dandies, they're often portrayed as chasing women. And they certainly weren't just French, although the movement was French-inspired. At its height the Prince Regent and most of his court were dandies, but that doesn't mean they were all gay. I see what you're saying and I understand that dandyism would have had gay implications, but I don't think homosexuality is a requisite of being a dandy, and it's definitely not present in the word's literal meaning.

I agree with Vindemiatrix about the definition...that's what I've found...

often chasing women, very fashionable, a litlte vapid in the head - could be a gay stereotype but not ness.

I want.

change the text and size, and i'd wear it.

All the dandies I've heard of were closet gays or bisexual. See: Oscar Wilde. Dandiest of the dandy.

HOLY SHIZNIZ I WANT THIZ!

$5, gotta have this

I almost added that the image very much evokes Oscar Wilde to me...I wasn't sure if I was the only one though :)

No matter really...are people really in love with the text or is it just the sharply dressed raven?

I really like the talk bubble and font on this one!

Je prefer l'image seulment.

I like design but wish I could see the image smaller.

YES!!!

kinda creepy lol but still good

I love just about everything about this design. I'd buy it on grey in a heartbeat, and wear it proudly everywhere.

Dandy hasn't been used in american vernacular in a good, long while. At least since Black Oak Arkansas. But I dig, and have a big rubber stamp waiting for other antiquated slang. $5.

lose the text and i would deffinitly buy it

so weird...but i love it.

omg



I have lived for the very first time.

the text stays!

love it. $5

I don't think you copied, but the whole style of this tee reminds me of Oddica's Undertaker tee. It's probably just me tho. nice size for a print.

Dandy is a great word, still in use in the uk and with slightly camp connotations, I like the idea of a camp corvid. But this said, the text is too big, it would be better with perhaps just the word dandy somewhere. But a brilliant design nonetheless.

Thank you for your comments, I will remake this drawing with a smaller text and better adapted: D

just the right amount of strange to this. love it.

i agree that he doesn't need to say that he is a dandy. his manner of dress bespeaks that he is a dandy. as for dandies in the 18th century, that was the haute couture, and homosexuality is a modern concept. it meant someone concerned with appearances and if we consider that to be effete now, it's only because of oscar wilde and his trial and the connotations of past fashion trends such as lace and high heeled shoes for men. in other news though, i love dandies and fops and i would enjoy a shirt with a foppish or rakish raven.
