This is my submission for the Purple Rain theme. You see the young fella on the right is laughing (perhaps at his melting elders) - ignorant of his own impending demise! It's about the inevitability of death and the optimism of youth.

I'd say that's pretty deep.

Momentarily on Aug 22 '07

courtney pie on Aug 22 '07

Luke... on Aug 22 '07

haha, light it up!

Ste7en on Aug 22 '07

I would have liked to see some wrinkles or other signs of age on the elder candles, but it is deep and well done anyway

wotto on Aug 22 '07

looks good on the tee.

Can the young candle have some hip shades or something? I saw this as a penile reference rather than an age thing. But my mind's perpetually in the toilet I guess. It's all TV's fault I tells ya! I'm still deathly envious of your drawing skillz though.

Threadless loves evil & cute combined together...and you know how to do it so well.

mrwalrusface on Aug 24 '07

Awesome job again on the concept and execution

FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 24 '07

Oh...i thought you were saying the folly of youth as in the young kids were burning themselves as the elder sat and laughed, which didn't strike me particularly funny. Now i get it and it's all the more neato. As Ste7en already stated, please put some things on the each candle to designate they are old/young. After this has happended, I'm $'ing all over this!

courtney pie on Aug 24 '07

but doesn't a burned down candle imply oldness, and being so tall imply that he was just lit?

ImNoLo on Aug 25 '07

i think courtney pie missed something...

anyways, i rather love this shirt. I'd like it better if the two older ones had laugh lines or wrinkles or something, but it's not even needed to make this great.

Ava Adore on Aug 25 '07

great, love the colours

Jemae on Aug 26 '07

epika pubika on Aug 27 '07

courtney pie on Aug 27 '07

ya, i worded that wrong. whatev. we all know what the shirt means.

FVG on Aug 28 '07

this is about impotence, right?

fatheed on Aug 28 '07

Hahahe. It could be, I guess. Innuendo is in the eye of the beholder. Take from it what you want.

mullmuggins on Aug 28 '07

ISABOA on Aug 28 '07

dude - this sent me spiraling into depression for 5$ seconds

fatheed on Aug 29 '07

Based on the number of comments, I didn't think this was going that well. What a pleasant surprise! Cheers guys :-)

r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Aug 29 '07

no diss, but you have a name now, much like glennz or some such...they see your name associated with it and they love it! you're a goldenboy...and that means i hate you...

i keed.

fatheed on Aug 29 '07

Hmmm. Not all my recent subs have scored as well, so I don't think that's really the case. When I did the WIP for this - I said I was going for the popular cute tragic comedy concept because I know a lot of the voters have a soft spot for this kind of thing. I think if anyone else did this concept, the score would be about the same.
