About my design

by WanderingBert   
Motown music forms a mighty combo when taken up by the Inuit Eskimos!



A silly little design which uses 5 colours plus the shirt colour.

I will post a link here and through my profile to a bigger image.

This just needs a little more "energy" to put this over the top -- I can't think of anything in particular (the lead singer down on his knees a la James Brown with a killer horn section either played by other eskimos or arctic animals, perhaps?), but I would look at actual photos from Motown and early Stax concerts.

fouchnickens- I think you're probably right. This design was giving me a bit of grief so I decided to sub as is. I may think about doing a resub in the future if I need to.



It's probably not really needed for this sub, but here's a bigger image for those interested.

Too bad eskimo is a pejorative word, it's Inuit these days. Ignoring the offensive nature, it's a cute design.

great idea not sold on the style of the design though. plus igloos should be white.

Like everybody else has been saying... GREAT idea, not sure about the execution. The lead singer doesn't look that soulful, and the back-up singers look like hula dancers. Make it more obvious that it's motown and I'll buy it.

Perfect stance for the "lead singer"...

Tina Turner would make the perfect backup singer stances -- tres sexy as they say in french!



When I first saw the title of your submission, I thought it was a tie-in to Matthew Henson, the first black person to go to the Arctic (he also "left some family behind" on his trip with Peary, thus the immediate connection of EskiMotown).
