ok, looking at art history stuff, saw the Birth of Venus and got this idea. Not quite a homosexual man, not quite a heterosexual man, the metrosexual...please enjoy

I tried to go with a generalization

I thought the birth of the metrosexual was when they came out with the Ken doll..

All those FAB-U-LOUS clothes he had... and no wee-wee!!!!

I was really torn over it looking more like the birth of venus, if it doesn't do well and you guys like it enough, I will resub. The background is San Fran by the way

A bit more venus based, a little less zoolander.

Great concept.

I agree, the text is a little too horror.
Smitty McGillicutty
Smitty McGillicutty on May 15 '07
the text will NOT be on the shirt
uckymush
uckymush on May 15 '07
It would be great if you had some sort of example without the horror text. Perhaps you could put it on the bottom left corner of your sub.

cool idea, but don't go with the zoolander face...change it to somone unknown.

I like how the background seemed to be drawing itself into the design as my eyes were adjusting to the bright thin color and picking up more and more of it! The idea is a bit tired and old tho. Talking about metrosexuals peaked about two years back. I like the layout tho, and i thik you will eventually hit paydirt on this site. Keep going....

i was looking at that and going "is that michael flatley? noooooooooooo... is it? noooooooooooo... couldn't be" BUT IT IS!! wow... ha! it's great!
Willish
Willish on May 17 '07
Going to have to agree with others who say it could be a bit more venus. I also think its a little wonky with those lines but I find it an amusing concept.
Work on it?
And please, as much as I get the use of pink, have a non pink version too?

Well slap my ass and call me Richard Simmons!

Just the pixie dust fellow...a shirt with only him on it would be pure gold.
jezbob
jezbob on May 17 '07
hilarious. but no stiller. better with indistinct face. then i'd buy it.

longleggedfly on May 18 '07
i think maybe you should make the redneck look slightly more... masculine, seeing as he is meant to be representing that extreme. Right now, he is standing like a poof, and the backwards hat is just a little bit teen/gay if you know what i mean. but then again, maybe the US rednecks look different to the ozzie ones?? Love his boots tho. man i so wish i could have your hansel and gretel shirt... can't get over that one ;) Love the homo bloke... looks priceless.

wow. this is great. i don't know what homosexuals would think of it though. but the thing that makes it amazing is that it's so not politically correct.

I usually like your stuff, but...

Negative stereotype much?

Plus, although I understand the commonplace acceptance of a term like "queer" in the media, it has a really negative connotation to a large part of the gay community, particularly consdiering it wouldn't be just gay men wearing the shirt and "using" the word.

I can totally appreciate the concept...it's not really the concept that's the problem...it's more just...the really outlandish stereotype and terminology used.

Although judging by the responses above, I guess I'm in the minority with my opinion.

This isn't meant to be an attack, btw. Still really like your other stuff. :)
