** http://www.comviz.com.ulaval.ca/module1/Images/MagrittePipe.jpg **

Montro on Dec 06 '07

Great colors for sure

iDanSimpson on Dec 06 '07

Well, this is an awesome image. The half-tone gradient is sweet enough on its own merit, but this rocks.

Joelnz on Dec 06 '07

nice one

Armzegal on Dec 06 '07

great style ! but we say "un cliché" not "une cliché" in french ;)

jacobcarrollingalls on Dec 06 '07

Well, the point was that it was actually not a pipe, but an image of a pipe. An image of a cliche is still a cliche.

But I still love it.

squintygirl on Dec 06 '07

I think you used the wrong accent in 'cliché'.

Edword on Dec 06 '07

amazing gradients!

SM Designs on Dec 06 '07

Awesome!

mezo on Dec 06 '07

Gradients are cool once again.

mathiole on Dec 06 '07

an accent is easy to change^^
thanks for the comments so far!

thefloormat on Dec 06 '07

at first glance i thought this was one of those pictures where you turn the face upside down and it starts frowning! but... still cool as is :p

thefloormat on Dec 06 '07

yeah and is that accent a circumflex?....

katiecampbell on Dec 06 '07

WanderingBert on Dec 06 '07

Wow! Amazing halftones!

VictorMelendez on Dec 06 '07

There's something weird with the nose, like it's missing the bridge.
I like the overall illo.

roadkill3d on Dec 06 '07

jimmytan on Dec 06 '07

BEAUTIFUL!! luv the color! looks great! 5

defusa on Dec 06 '07

I'm gonna be the bad guy here. Your type is appauling. Kerning, arc, everything. You make a good typeface look average.

Khol on Dec 06 '07

If it gets sold as a big print in the middle then I'd buy it in a hot second.

$5

kooky love on Dec 06 '07

GREAT $5

kelck on Dec 06 '07

FRICKINAWESOME on Dec 07 '07

Middle placement and Evan buys it. Period.

PickYourOwn on Dec 07 '07

Isquaronai on Dec 07 '07

SM Designs on Dec 07 '07

Great $5

_ g u t o _ on Dec 07 '07

Muito bom cara !!! 5$

El_Pony_Boy on Dec 07 '07

anyone who does a tribute to magritte and comments on every hipster wearing a shirt of che deserves to get printed. not to mention the outcome of this print if done correctly would be rad-ass.
ten! oh wait, not dancing with the stars.
i'd buy it!

CatherineB on Dec 07 '07

I would like to confirm that it's not "Clichê" but "cliché". Also, this word is masculine, so you should write "ceci n'est pas UN cliché" instead of "ceci n'est pas UNE cliché".

Voilà! :)

ilikeice on Dec 07 '07

I want this pretty badly. $5.

mype4nut on Dec 07 '07

CatherineB stole my comment, but yeah. Anyway, the halftone gradient in the bright colours really suits this illustration. Wonderful font too, as type tends to kill a lot of good designs. I like it.

iDanSimpson on Dec 07 '07

Luckily, these are all things that are easily fixed once this is chosen for printing. *crosses fingers*

mathiole on Dec 07 '07

guys, i've fixed the mistakes
you can se here: http://mathiole.deviantart.com/art/ceci-n-est-pas-un-cliche-71520418
thanks!

iDanSimpson on Dec 07 '07

The text still needed to be spaced better before... now it's worse. It's nowhere near the center (vertically) of your banner and the space in between "Un"/"Une" and "Cliché" still needs to be fixed (too big of a space). Clean that up and you will win life.

TELP on Dec 07 '07

this is really pretty

nikolina100 on Dec 07 '07

sixixsix on Dec 09 '07

your style RULES! i so wish you didn't put Che on this one... i mean, i get it, but it's still a Che shirt. i got no problems with Che, just his shirts.

kissmeimshitfaced on Dec 09 '07

Awesome, I'd prefer a centered placement!

kissmeimshitfaced on Dec 09 '07

And the one on the link - you gotta fix that gap man... cm'on, it looks weird!

mathiole on Dec 09 '07

i'll working on this, i'll put another link with a fixed version maybe tomorrow
thanks everybody whon comment and critique with this!

mhd2c on Dec 10 '07

you should tighten the kerning between une and cliche. other than that it looks pretty sweet. 4.

Acebaker on Dec 11 '07

I'd buy this in a second if it was anyone but che... absolutely beautiful work with the halftones and illustration though

mathiole on Dec 11 '07

i do understand that Che is a polemic icon
but is good to be polemic sometimes :p
don't get me wrong please^^

Kay. on Dec 12 '07

Hm, it's spelled cliché..

Tonteau on Dec 12 '07

Come on, "Cli-Che" It's a pun.

Awesome design. I can't stand Che stuff, personally, but this is so good it's hard not to give it the full $5.

mathiole on Dec 12 '07

ok, NOW is right, thanks for all the advises

Tonteau on Dec 12 '07

There's the link, mate.

mathiole on Dec 12 '07

thanks... i'll learn html someday :p

Tonteau on Dec 12 '07

You just need to click on the "a href" to the right and it puts the code in for you, then you just add the link.

ahahahaha clever
i'm felling stupid right now

iDanSimpson on Dec 12 '07

lol @ "i'm felling stupid right now"

Bugmen on Dec 12 '07

this is an amazing idea and i love the colors and the pun and everything. i hate all the cliche shirts (i know i'm missing the accent.) i would wear this once the accent is fixed and the gender of the noun is corrected.

mathiole on Dec 12 '07

i gess that after that i wont speak english never more ahhahahahaha

heyitsBrianna on Dec 12 '07

i just fell in love with a shirt. if this doesnt get printed i will be broken hearted. $$$5555!!

shirtflirt on Dec 12 '07

olha esse imbecil aqui em cima...tsc tsc
olha o cretino aqui em cima...aff

yo, funny talker, how does this translate.
seems pretty straight forward.

gouldnash on Dec 12 '07

i love magritte, and the idea that a Che shirt is played out.

However, a there is no metaphor at play here, so the word cliche doesn't apply. maybe "passe" would be more appropriate.

Plus, it would be cooler and more magritte to have something in front of Che's face.

Maddog58 on Dec 12 '07

Love the technique - try it with a different subject

darenong on Dec 13 '07

I'd buy, nicely executed. +5

bibomaco on Dec 13 '07

In french you wouldn't use capital letters (or in this case slightly larger letters) at the beginning of each word. Looks kins of odd for anyone who speaks french.

"Ceci n'est pas un cliché" instead of "Ceci N'est Pas Un Cliché" , make sure it's "un" instead of "une", and the accent on the e is "é" instead of "ê". French speaking people are grammar sticklers by nature... sorry
