Romance is handled so differently throughout life.
Look one way, you see youth's attempt at love. Look the other, you see how it changes over time.

norwish on Jun 13 '07

Is he uh.... You know... With his hand? 'Cause that's what I get from his expression...

NellieM on Jun 13 '07

NomesMcFly on Jun 13 '07

jpweeks on Jun 13 '07

Vindemiatrix on Jun 13 '07

Not something I'd wear, but good concept and execution. :)

alinka on Jun 13 '07

awesome! :) $5

Plaidducttaper on Jun 13 '07

that took me forever!

but.i.love.u on Jun 14 '07

i really like this. everything is great about the artwork and it totally makes sense both ways. what i don't understand is why the little boy is holding the flower upside down. but it doesn't really matter.

Kolb on Jun 14 '07

Okay, maybe now that there's been a bit of time for my submission to stew, this is what I've got:
I seem to think the nose works too, but then again I designed it.
The boy is holding a spider...which was the point of the "how you show love"...adults use romance (and flowers) while boys push the girls they like and try to scare them with terribly icky things.
And I have no idea what "norwish" was suggesting he was doing with his hand?
Hopefully this helps? Hopefully it's not too bad?

Sland on Jun 14 '07

Your explanation really helped me appreciate the design.
It's really neat!
Liek they said though, the nose is kinda funky...

torrianna on Jun 14 '07

I like the design, but I think the switcheroo-thing is pushing it. Maybe it'd be better on a card, not a t-shirt. My neck hurts.

lemonalle on Jun 14 '07

awesome

predictableSNAFU on Jun 14 '07

ooo!! it's kinda hard to take in when it's sideways like that. i think i'd wear it if it were vertical.
very nice!!

mliatai on Jun 15 '07

great idea,i like that it takes a while to decifer.

Falljw on Jun 15 '07

I like the idea, maybe not so much on a short though.

Falljw on Jun 15 '07

shirt*

Spusel on Jun 15 '07

tough. beautiful design though.

Bramish on Jun 15 '07

I think the nose works. The kid has a pudgy little pig nose.

norwish on Jun 15 '07

He looks kinda like he spanking the monkey... They boy, with his expression... I unno. That was the first thing I saw...

valeriieee on Jun 15 '07

i'm not personally a fan of the specific design (meaning that i personally wouldn't wear it), but i love the concept - i love that you pulled off the illusion so well! 5 :)

erin_everlasting on Jun 15 '07

awesome colours!

opifan64 on Jun 16 '07

haha... pretty great. love the colours and use of halftones

35mmurray on Jun 16 '07

really cool. i like the optical illusion a lot; it's hard to make one that actually works. but i don't think it's a good design for a shirt. i wouldn't want to have to stand there for five minutes while people tried to figure out my shirt.
