About my design
by Red Strychnine   
"Ask the owls, my son.

They care not for where you have come,
Nor how you came,
Nor why.
They care nothing for your secrets
Nor your shame.

They care only for Who—
Who is this boy,
In suffering and sickness,
That has become a man?

Ask the owls, my son,
To lead you from these dark places."

The owl species from the outside of the spiral inward: Barred, Great Horned, Barn, Eastern Screech, Whiskered.

I like it but I was wondering whether you considered a darker, more night like colour?

Absolutely gorgeous, and I really like the burgundy. I wouldn't say no to silver foil on dark blue, but I really dig the black and burgundy too. ;)

I actually like the blue one better as I can see the detail more. But I'm just a kid at heart I guess.

I'm stoked on owls! This is the only owl shirt I've seen in a long time where the owls look realistic instead of cartoon. Nice. : )

where the poem come from?
Anthrax
Anthrax on Aug 04 '07
I honestly love this and would buy it without a second thought, but that extra owl-less eyeball in the center is driving me nuts and making me feel stupid because I'm obviously missing something.
Red Strychnine
   Red Strychnine on Aug 04 '07
The poem is something I dreamed about. I drew this as a result.

Anthrax, the whole design is another owl. The center of the spiral is a tiny head, the three smaller owls form the neck, and the bigger owls form the shoulders and body. It's easier to see at a distance.

I'm a fan of low-contrast shirts. While the "Burghundy is hard to see" criticism is legit, that's what I intended. I like shirts that can let you blend into the crowd a little.

Designs tend to look brighter and more striking in print anyway. At least, this has been my experience.

I'd wear it but maybe you could put a little mouse or something right in the middle of the circle....
Just a thought!
Beautiful design though.

(P.S. I do see the head .)
