I've been wondering what designer hole you fell down, Mr. Buchholz! good to see you climbed out of it, dusted your self off, and drew us up a pretty different and wonderful trippy interpreatation of those little critters! Nice return to Threadless on a fabbo sub...if this is printed, it HAS to have some kind of glow-in-the-dark effect with all the lightning bolts and fire. 4$

wow u back! awesome! style abit different but i still like it.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jun 05 '07
finally you are back!!!!! hmmmm, honestly, i am not as excited as the others by your last one, because halftones are overused right now on Threadless, in my opinion, and as i am a big fan of your whole stuff on Threadless, i think this one is truly one of your weakest, in concept/idea and in execution. I mean, of course it is well rendered, and nice, because you are so gifted and talented...so my expectations are higher about your work than the others. This time, i guess you perhaps just wanted to experiment this technique of halftones... (i will do that too in the future). I hope you'll understand my comment, i am a little disappointed this time, but, you can't always create jewels, and masterpieces, can you? ;-) 3

   cbuchholz on Jun 05 '07
Thanks for the comment Jebs! I know it's not my best and that's okay. I just wanted to play around with something that's a little simpler than what I've done in the past, and the halftones just seemed to fit for this. Anyhow, I appreciate your honesty!

Welcome back Mr VanBuchholzen. It aint no emo bear, but it's still pretty sharp. I personally like the expirementation with the halftones. Really looking forward to seeing your select...till then $5.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jun 05 '07
thanks for the reply cbucholz!!! glad you understood my comment, because i think that when you are at the top of your art, like you are in threadless, it's important to read people who try keep an objective look, so you can still improve. PS: I still hope that your Pre-Columbus will be printed one day :-)

Those bugs with the flames shooting out of their butts must have eaten spicy food the night before.

Good work! Very summer-y. 4

"A discerning child knows the difference" – hahahaha! This is great, and very different than your usual subs! Your halftone treatment really helps give the composition some movement.

Have I ever given you anything less than $5??

I like how you incorporated the subtleness of the "fire" for the fireflies and "lightning bolts" of the bugs. Great halftones.

Grave Of The Fireflies


Ahh, well, see it's not really about which one you prefer, since they're both independent and original designs and this one was up first.

HOWEVER nice design cbuchholz!
