 For those who love to read....
|
 |
I'm a fan of reading clothed. I think it's a cool idea, but the nudity isn't necessary. Not that I have problem with nudity...
|
 |
I like this design. The conservitave part of me wants her to be clothed...but the liberal side of me doesn't really care...either way it is a 4 for me.
|
 |
I dont think it matters THAT much because it's not really obvious nudity and it's less noticable. That being said, I might be a little uncomfortable wearing a nude person anyways. The design is amazing though, i'd buy it (clothed) $5
|
 |
I guess I don't get why she WOULD be naked, it's not a matter of conservative/liberal. It's out of place. And even though I really like the drawing itself, I think I would want color variation... 3.5, if I could give that
|
 |
nice
$ 5 |
 |
? why is she naked? if you made a new version of her with a dress or shirt and jeans or something, i would soo buy it :)
|
 |
Nicely illustrated.
|
 |
Maybe she was so engrossed in the books she forgot to put her clothes on.
I like the colours on the natural t in the corner. 5 |
 |
that looks really uncomfortable
|
 |
I am puzzled by the nudity, but it is a library of dreams. I especially love the way her hair fades onto the edge. $5

I like the natural tee, and I love it in blue. Fab design!
|
 |
i really like it, but wouldnt' wear it unless she go clothes.
|
 |
Please clothe her - then it would be a 5.
|
|
man, i've read naked before and maybe i stand alone but i think with how busy the books look that the clothing, with all the details and folds, that she might not stand out as much from the books.
|
 |
I would prefer that she is clothed-it just doesn't make sense for her not to be in this situation.
|
 |
Another randomly naked chick ...
|
 |
I concur. Give the lady some clothes.
|
 |
This isn't nudity drawn by some teenage Manga-Nerd. It works. She's alone with her books.
|
 |
I always read naked in my precariously stacked library.
It needs more color, though. |
 |
I agree with what most people are saying- she needs some clothes. Even just shorts. Oh and I think socks would be cute but I'm just a sock person.
still, 5. |
 |
give her some britches and i'd wear it. its really cool and beautiful the way the books are stacked
|
|
i really wasn't thinking about a naked girl, I guess more about the conveying the soul of a person. boy or girl. I am kinda interested in what people think about the idea of the books being stacked as in the title. I will post a link to a bigger image with the tan version, which was my original color scheme. I always second guess myself. Thank you for the comments, and does anyone really want a redesign?
|
 |
I don't think you should clothe her. I really love this $5
|
 |
Add some clothes and maybe make the books and person a little more detailed and clear.4$
|
 |
she needs some pants. maybe a skirt? :D
|
 |
i like it as it 5$ (btw, when are there going to be some nude men?)
|
|
i would $5 with clothes too.
|
|
Hi, here is the link that acually does the detail some justice,

Here is the blue!http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o32/Matchhead1984/T%20Shirts/libraryofdreams3.jpg
|
 |
Not massively fussed about the nudity - it's not sexual or anything. She's just naked.
In fact, given that it's the Library of Dreams, it seems appropriate. |
|
Oh, and it's kind of nice, but I don't like the colours.
3 |
 |
I like this.
|
 |
beautiful! i love the colors.
|
 |
I like how the books spiral up and out from the figure, but I don't think that the figure itself is as 'neutral' as you intended it to be. It clearly looks like a woman, which is why there's a lot of attention to the fact that she is nude. I also wish that the light shining on her book could reflect a bit more on her figure, too, to differentiate her just a bit more from the book towers.
|
 |
i straight out hate blue shirts.
but if this was printed on a yellow one i would buy it. |
 |
I've been waiting for a good library design (I'm a librarian) so I love everything but the nekkedness.. if she/he/soul person looked happier, I'd like that too.. I love the sketchyness of it :)
|
|
I personally think that I prefer her nude. Apparently none of you have ever read naked before, quite the shame.
|
 |
i would wear it if she were clothed. the books are fabulous.
|
|
personally i enjoy the fact that she's naked.
it seems to add to the thought of one becoming engrossed within a book, and feeling free throughout one's imagination and the story. appropriate, i think. i would buy it. |
 |
Your art is AMZAING!
This design should win! And "scribe" should've won!! |
 |
I think the nudity is perfectly fine and appropriate because she's in a dream world. It's tastefully done as well. I think the print should be a *bit* smaller though. It dominates the front of the shirt in an odd way.
|
 |
The impression I get from this is simply:
She has books. What interest or need has she for anything else (even clothing)? |
 |
give her a skirt that morphs into something kind of like the hair does
|
 |
Why is everyone hung up on her "nudity"? I didn't even notice that she was until people started saying that. I thought her image flowed so well with the books that yeah, what Kookaberry said is the best way I can explain it.
|
 |
Big deal she's naked. :D Great design.
|
|
maybe she is reading The Awakening...
i love this shirt |
 |
I was naked in a library once upon a time. It was a dark and stormy... never mind. 4
|
 |
time enough at last
|
 |
I don't care about the nudity. The design is lovely. But I do care about the size of the image on the shirt. I just don't like the look of very large designs on a shirt, so my personal preference would be for it to be a lot smaller. $5
|
|
I like the nudity. Like she's totally at one with the books or comfortable at home reading. Love the illustration, but way too big on the shirt.
|
 |
That is totally cool. I'd wear that in a heartbeat.
|
 |
i love you matchhead! you're one of my favs and this design is great!
|
|
I read all the time naked.
It just seems right when I get out of thse shower. I love it. |
 |
I would wear this while I was reading naked.
|
|
Wow, lots of comments! It is after all, a bit odd. Why the nudity? What does it have to do with anything? Not that it's unattractive. In fact it's obviously an attention grabber for loads of people. Perhaps that's the best thing about it. It IS out of place, but that's actually what makes it.
|
|
i love this, it's amazing.
|
 |
I always read naked in my precariously stacked library.
Don't we all? That said, I agree with the person who said that clothes would interfere with the details and if it is a library of dreams...do you really dream much detail into what you are wearing? |
|
Clothed - so I can wear it to work.
|
|
i like the design. keep her naked.. i think it makes it more interesting.. plus its not risque or anything
but color variants would be nice, it would make the piece stand out more. |
|
i love this drawing! and for those of you are stuck on teh fact that the girl in the drawing is naked take into mind the title of the piece; a library of dreams. and i think having her naked truly shows that maybe she just wants to be left alone with her books in HER libarary of dreams
|
|
like the blue. makes it look like its dark, which makes the light more logical. the nudity is not really nudity because its not really showing anything so dont be too orthodox here people. I like it because nude = comfortable and her being nude shows comfort in her books.
|
 |
Beautiful drawing. The blue sets a mood which works for me. I agree w peops who feel the nakedness is out of place- interesting how it makes so many uncomfortable. Fills up too much of the shirt for my taste.
|
|
Thanks for everybodies comments. I think I will make the design smaller, and make a couple of rows grow taller to fit the t shirt more. Does anyone have a preference of colors? Or would even want to see it resubmitted?
|
|
I guess nobody cares..nevermind.
|
 |
Does that have something to do with Neil Gaiman's Sandman?
Well... I think the nudity is completely fair! While dreaming we're always naked! Clothes stay in the physical world! And If you dream you're wearing something it's probably made of dream material... not fabrics! |
|
Reading naked is ill advised. There are just some places that you never want to get paper cuts.
But, I like the design! |
 |
This is both cool and uncanny. It reminds me of an actual dream I had, where I was in the library of my brain sorting through my older dreams, so I was just a little weirded out when I first saw this sub.
|
 |
I love to read, and I love this
|
|
And I'm about to read naked in the tub. So take that, anti-nudity peoples!
|
|
... I'd love to see this in purple, btw.
|

catdogpigduck on Jul 22 '07 library of no pants
|
 |
This is beautiful. I took her nudity to mean that she was completely herself and at ease amongst her books. My only complaint is that the image is set too large on the shirt. Great work! 5.
|
 |
Wow it's really fascinating to read people's take on nudity, for some its a huge deal and for many its isn't. It is after all pretty subtle. The art is amazing and the colors beautiful, I would definetly buy this. Way to go matchhead. . .by the way The Scribe was b.a.
|
 |
Yeah! I mean, its great artwork,
but itd be easier to wear in public if she was clothed. lol. |
 |
I read naked. =D
And I'd wear it this way. It's nothing raunchy or offensive. Keep it. |
 |
Shes got a nice ass.
|
 |
You puritans need to chill about nudity.
|
|
It's not like you get any details - just 'cheeky' legs.
Chill - it's perfectly wearable in public - 99% of the content on the TV news is more explicit. Great illustration - nice shirt. 5 |
 |
It wouldn't work if she was clothed. The whole thing about books is that when you're reading, it's just you and the book. You allow yourself to be vulnerable and take in whatever it is you're reading.
Keep it as it is. On blue. |
 |
That's one of the sexiest things I've ever seen. "Hot" girls are coupled way too often with cheap American beer and muscle cars. Bringing "sexy" back to poetry, literature and imagination is beautiful.
|
 |
These comments have bought me out in a broad grin. Something I and the rest of the world don't understand about American culture is that extreme violence ( harmful and unnatural ) is perfectly acceptable and common place in popular film, television, art, and literature but show a hint of thigh, nudity or heaven forbid, sex ( perfectly natural ) and everyone starts squealing and jumping up and down. It's not even immediately noticeable that she's naked and it's tastefully done and adds to the design - which is also excellent by the way......
|
 |
I only noticed the nakedness after it was pointed out, clothes would break the flow of the design so she should be naked.
|
 |
I have no problem with the nudity as a stylistic thing, but as a "I want to wear this in public, and to visit my mum, and to work" issue I would not be able to buy it as it is. It wouldn't detract from anything for pant legs to be there, but it would prevent me from getting chased around with a frying pan, which happens to be a big deal to me.
$5 for the blue (it would also look really nice in shades of green). This is a beautiful design, and I would love to buy it! To the person who says we're always naked when dreaming: Um...what? I can't remember an unclothed dream, but I can remember many clothed.. Really well done! I look forward to more of your designs, too! |
 |
I like it, pft without the nudity, it wouldnt mean anythang. i would buy.
|
 |
I agree. I wouldn't wear it to school or around youth. Put a skirt on her and I'll tell my buddies!
|
 |
Thank you Spam69...well said.
Nudity has nothing to do with sex, people. Nothing. We are all nude underneath our clothes. It's beautiful and natural and free, and there is nothing wrong with it whatsoever. The sooner everyone can accept that the closer we collectively get to some sort of Ascension. The design is beautiful, the symbolism is obvious. Why cover up the soul in a dream state when we spend so much time covering up in our waking one? I like the blue. I'd like to see it with a very high window and a full moon shining thru as well. $5. |
|
The nudity is stupid
|
|
I love it, I just wish she had some clothes.... why not PJs.... wouldn't they be fitting?
|
 |
Actually I don't think there is a deep meaning behind to nudity which is why it looks awkward to me. I agree with what others have said. Put something on her.
|
 |
so, I adore this.
|
|
Not only is the nudity out of place, the proportions on the figure's legs are really odd, and her eyes look very strange. I love the concept, but think the reader needs some more work.
|
|
'No offense simstanley, but wasn't going for technicallity. The legs and the hair are my favorite parts about her. Its more about the feeling than "if she has clothes or doesn't". Truthfully, the more surreal the better.
|
|
love the placement
|
 |
i didnt even notice that she was naked and the proportions are fantastic
well done on the score |
 |
Who cares about nudity?! It's not like it's in any way pornographic. I love this tee and with a smaller design, I would definitely buy it. Maybe it's my European ways...
Either way, I still rated it 5. |
