This is my entry for the Alumni vs. Barons Substitions Battle! Vote high for it and bring down the evil tyranny of the Barons. I heard the Barons once stole candy from a baby and gave it to an oil tycoon, like some kinda crazed anti-robin-hood-clan.

This is based on the Hawaiian superstition that removing lava rock from the islands angers Pele the volcano goddess. She will have bad luck follow whoever removed the rock until they return it to her shores.

Here's a website of people claiming the bad luck to have followed them until they sent the lava rocks back:
Bad Luck Stories

I really like the way you made this shirt. The patterns are great. Funny story too.

love the style with the patterns, very unique to other shirts i've seen on threadless. major props.

Pretty design

I like the green, so for the little girl's shirt I think the green would be pretty too. $5

Pele had better not give me bad luck for accidentally getting her rock stuck in my shoe.

Very cool!

i dig this!!

The Rock knows what's cooking!

swizeet!

Great research!

patterns are cool, I just feel like there's a lot of them. Overall, well done though.

well done! 5!!! :)

nice design! especially great on a kids tee. I havent been on threadless very long but as of yet this seems like a pretty unique design :)

getting the volcano to still "work" after switching line color all over the place is amazing, you could create a design simply using that method

That's some professional patterning!

patterntastic! 5

This is so cool! And I love the back-story.
