wow. 5, but i wouldn't wear it.
|
 |
pretty cool. maybe a little smaller or something, i think the back would look funny
|
 |
I love it, maybe since it is only one color they could print the same thing on the back, that would be really cool I would buy 2 if they did that. but as is it is still a 5.
|
|
yes, AWESOME, 5
|
|
yo calagraphic your black and white stuff is amazing I would love one of these, and I agree with baconandeggs, if they were willing to print it on both sides that would be real cool. 5
|
 |
WOW right ON!! SUPER! 5
|
 |
cleverish but i wouldn't wear it. its a bit to big.
|
 |
baconandeggs and carlthehunter
if they were willing to print it both sides that would be great I just never thought to present it that way, but I think it would def be a cool idea, thanks for the suggestions and support. |

MrDomino on Jul 02 '07 DETAILS! One in ten of those little clipart graphics is actually American equipment. The tanks are Russian, the sniper rifle is a Russian Mosin Nagant from WWII, and the Skorpion machine pistol is also Russian. The Enfield L85 is British and I think that pistol is a Walther PPK, also British.
That completely muddles the message you're trying to make. There's plenty of room for commentary on the military-industrial complex, but do your research. The use of clipart is logical and appropriate for the concept, but the execution here is just lazy. Also, they couldn't print this design that large. |
|
Wow MrDomino, Impressive knowledge of army stuff, but I think its works anyway and even if you are correct most people would never know the difference and the image is great. And the visual execution is excellent. Also they eliminate all ones that are to large to print before voting so I think you are wrong about that and even if you are right, it is only one color so they could just do it with two pulls. 5
Don’t be so judgmental! |

AWESOME
|
 |
I WANT THIS
$ 5 |

MrDomino and bluejaybird81
There is no need to argue, if what Mrdomino is saying is true then I probably should have done more research when creating the illustration but it is done now so this one is going to stay as is, next time I will try to be more careful. And Bluejaybird81 they did approve this and I have had stuff turned down due to size before so I think you are right on that point. good catch and thanks for the comments |
 |
Love love love. $5.
|
|
the message is still clear whether or not the equipment is american...
|
 |
Well first off I'd like it a little smaller. Maybe use smaller side placement like "Poet-trees"??
And to the critiques here: Honestly... I don't care that all the military equipment is from different countries. The design and the idea works in my opinion. I think that war is war and it doesn't matter where the guns are from. I'm sure that the idea here is that the American government perpetuates war. (Which I do feel that it does) And honestly if you look at any war that the US was involved in I'm sure that at least ONE of the sides probably used those weapons. |

mj00 on Jul 02 '07 This is a cool design, but to me it's a poster.
|
 |
MrDomino's point is very well taken. The concept is great, but loses its strength with all the foreign weapons. Resubmit it with all American war machines and its a $5!
|
 |
I agree with MrDomino to an extent - it would have been better with American machines - but honestly, very few people would notice. If it was in critique I'd say to change it, but it's subbed now, and it's not really a big enough deal to change it now....
|
|
i like this better than the warning:imperialism one
|
 |
I do really like this...
but just wondering, did you really mean capital, in reference to money, or capitol, as in the building/place etc... either way, i do really like the design 5$ |
 |
nice design...too much for me though..
|
 |
crazy.
|
|
the title is really capital with an A, it was just a little extra thing, but good question I like to keep people thinking.
|
 |
I like this a lot. Satire is awesome. $5
|
|
I'm a stickler for details too, but I would've never noticed any of the weapons were out of place! but then- I had to read the title to realize it wasn't a wedding cake.
:-) |
|
AWESOME! $5
|
 |
please print! i'd buy it in a heart beat, 5$!
|
 |
The area I reside in currently is far to conservative for me to wear that in public.
|
|
2 sides would be awesome, but not matter what its a $5
|
 |
Is George in it? Oh no, he skipped that one. He's occupying the black negative space.
|
|
^^ don't understand that comment but I would buy this $5
|
|
Please print this two sided, I would definately buy it. $5
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 04 '07 Man, at least your political affiliations and statements are getting waaaaaay more appealing and well-designed. Nice combo of your other abstract black and white work while still managing to make a statement about The Man. 4$
|
|
nice.
|
 |
fan freaking tastic
|
 |
i'd buy and wear it...i like it ALOT
|
 |
LOVE it.
without these war-machines (yes Russian and British and whatever else) we'd be commenting in German! or still suffering through the Great Depression! -not that there's anything wrong with that...lol (God bless the military-industrual complex !) |
 |
this is perfect- if they don't print it - print it and sell it yourself.

good one, smaller would be better i think, that or printed on the back, with a small something off the shoulder?
|
|
print both sides! but id buy it either way 5
|
|
maybe it'd be better slightly off centre.
|
 |
neat idea
|
|
Cool! Print it on shirts assembled in Mexico
|
 |
Nice knock off of Vic Munoz!
|
 |
It looks cool, but I am sick of seeing war shirts.
|
|
This looks Awesome. Very well done, but I probablt wouldn't wear it just because I'm picky.
