heh being more than a bit familiar with the blind, I've got a few suggestions. First, allow me to say that I like it a lot! My girlfriend is legally blind and she got a real kick out of this. Now, I've got to point a few little things out.



From my experience, it isn't typical for a blind person to have both a guide dog and a cane =) If you keep the cane, maybe make the light border around it a bit thinner...kind of makes it look as though it's got magic powers or something. haha. The harness isn't quite correct, either...guide dogs are highly trained animals and there isn't a need for a bit in it's mouth like with a horse. heh. Also, a guide dog is always on the left side of the person. Here's a good close-up of a harness: http://www.eyeofthepacific.org/images/ProgramsSwap_Dogs.jpg



Sorry to sound so critical...I know this is all in good fun. I gave it a 5!

He is holding his cane like he is pimping some hoes. Haha...

I agree with vertox about the harness thing, but other than that

I love it 4

livasnap on Jun 12 '07
hahaha....I like it, but the idea would be more clear if you made the cane white with a red tip

yeah, i love love love the design but the the drawing needs to be better. the dog is overlapping in an awkward way. i would totally take it if it was drawn better. as is, 3.
EatsAndSleeps
EatsAndSleeps on Jun 12 '07
I did not notice the overlap.. it looks like he is about to pee on the bat
artdrops
   artdrops on Jun 12 '07
The overlap of the dog's leg is on purpose. It's supposed to look as if the dog is about to do his business on his owner. You know, the same way a dog would do his business on a tree.



I thought people would catch that, hehe :) Thanks for the comments!

Love the illustration and color but I agree about the harness needing altering. And I would ditch the cane.

Wow, tried way too hard on this one. Terrible. Simply terrible.

Simon Cowell on Jun 15 '07
The art is great. But that's all that's working.

The concept is a very bad pun. Without the title, I really don't think most people would even catch on to it right away. This is one of those shirt designs that I think would need to be explained. And then people would say to themselves "Oh yes. Now I see." but, I still don't think they would then find it very clever.

The art is so good that I want to like this one, but I really can't.

This is just AMAZING. I love the concept and as a baseball fan that is just awesome. I def. gave a $5 and can't wait for it to get printed.



Maybe a different/brighter shirt would look better.



Great work!

This is too funny! It made me laugh out loud!

I don't know what the Simon Cowell Imposter (bad acting by the way... hehehe...) does not get about the 'punny'! Isn't it obvious? Black shades, cane, and a dog? (I mean a baseball ... lol...) ... still cracking up here...



Great work, artdrops..... you are a very talented artist that really knows how to draw, which is often not the case with others on this site! Let's be for real and cut the ... you know what I mean ;)

Whether he's an imposter or not, I like imagining he's the real deal. And you never know...this site and others have been visited by actual celebrities in the past. Wouldn't it be a laugh to have the real Simon Cowell berating designs here? I'm tickled pink at the thought. The longer I've been here, the more I've realized that some serious smackdown is needed.



As for this design...well...it's a pun, but not a groaner. And a pun is only delicious if it makes you sick.

wrong kind of bat!



the expression refers to a flying bat. they don't see but use sonar somethingorother.



creative interpertation and hilarious illustration however!!

i have to definitly say that it would look better without the dog. Also, the stick is poorly held and is confusing perspective wise.
