Thanks to everyone in the critique for your feedback. A few of you felt the wheels could have used some detail and unfortunately I submitted this before I received this input. So CLICK HERE if you'd like to see a version of the design with wheel detail. Personally, I like it unfinished but I am open to your opinions. Thanks for looking.

I would SWEAR I've seen something like this before but GIS says no and I heart the Poe reference (if the crow on the sign isn't a Poe reference, just don't tell me ) so $4
heyheyitsme
heyheyitsme on Jun 05 '07
a few of van gogh's last paintings contained crows, harbengers of death, (as I recall) so this is probably the reference! not to Poe

Vincent Van Gogh is a total chode who made hideous Impressionist art, but you have put him on such a visually pleasing pedestal that I can't help but enjoy. Great job!

micknight
micknight on Jun 05 '07
hey mezo, isn't it enough that van gogh suffered unduly in life, but now you have to disrepect his memory in death? sure we all are entitled to our own opinions, but i just cannot fathom why you need to be so rude and abrasive when, in reality, your comment had no merit in evaluating the design

anyway, the tire detail is a MUST
van gogh rocks my socks and this shirt better be printed!!!!
cARtOoNer
cARtOoNer on Jun 05 '07
idk about the placement, i think keep it on the same tilt, but smidg it to the right more (maybe even center)

but i LOVE it anyway

mezo
   mezo on Jun 05 '07
Hey micknight...back off will ya. Are you assuming everyone has to say nice things about EVERY person who has ever died? That is ridiculous. So I do not like his art. Big deal.

About the design, if you would have READ my comment properly I said that I enjoyed it EVEN THOUGH I do not enjoy the art which inspired it.

Wait. How can I talk to someone who says 'rocks my socks'? Never mind. Please ignore my response.

As much as I hate joke shirts, I have a soft spot for both puns and van Gogh, and you've done a great job emulating his style of painting.

Totally go with tires, though.

Easily $5. Hope you get printed. And it's definitely better with the tire detail, but still amazing without.

I'm an art history major and I'm always waiting for great art shirts besides the worn-out cliches (versions of the Mona Lisa and The Scream). This speaks not only to my favorite subject, but my love of a good bad-joke : ) I'll definitely be buying this!
gavagai
gavagai on Jul 25 '07
great!! I'm particularly impressed by the fact that you resisted the temptation to add an edge stroke on the tires... I would not have been able to resist - even though leaving them bare is the right choice!

i'm normally a sucker for Glenn Jones, but gotta be honest and say that THIS is my favorite Threadless shirt - that i own and in general!

honestly, i think a good number of people who've seen it (on me) haven't really understood it. i think they don't really look closely enough to even see that it's NOT Scooby Doo hanging out of the Mystery Machine. they just glance, and see a similar looking van, and that's what they assume it is and leave it at that. frankly, i'm disappointed in my friends & family. ;)
