Plight of the Bumble Bee
About the design
on December 9, 2007
Huge print, or belt (does not need to wrap, but needs to be close to seams)
It is designed to make you look like a big bumble bee. Black ink on yellow shirt, possibly suade or puff ink.

I really like the idea, but you should bolden the notes or something becuase i didn't realize they were supposed to be stripes until you mentioned it.

Oh my goodness. I laughed so hard at this. I love Rimsky-Korsakov. PRINT!
millagorilla
Agreed. Neat idea, just increase the thickness/weight.

to much
libertybasketball
awesome idea!

you need to have bees on there too or something... but I LOVE IT.

I love this idea :D It's just a bit hard to tell at first that they're stripes. I don't think that the image could be bolder though, it would make the notes impossible to read, since the lines are so close together to begin with. Maybe the subtlety is better ;)
martiandrivein
a version with more bold/thickness is in the works, thanks for the support so far.
thamuffingal
i like it....
heerthefood
very cool for the music geek, love it, but like some of the previous commentors i think you should make the staff bolder so the bumblebee part is more clear
dacat
Nice idea, you could also try black stripes with yellow lines and notes (shirt color)
Apasionada
Argh, I despise this piece, pain in the butt to play. :-P
It's a nice concept, but I agree that it should be darker/bolder to get the desired effect.
martiandrivein
@ dacat. the current version is precisely that.
martiandrivein
^sry, the version in the works
basqueman
I love this idea! It HAS to be BOLDER in order to make the joke. (I'm jumping on here cuz I want this to work!) Once this is fixed, it's a WINNER!
michaelbeckdesign
what if ya dropped the music out of black stripes?
michaelbeckdesign
you could leave the bass clef part out to make the notes bigger.
michaelbeckdesign
you could delete the bottom clef chart to make the top bar notes bigger.

with bees it's a 5
JoeMonster
great for the conductor!
Bramish
This might have worked better if you'd kept the yellow shirt, and then had the music etc in shirt colour on black stripes.
Still, nice idea, good luck.
opendestiny
This would definitely be terrific if the music was increased in thickness/boldness. Fantastic.

I agree, make the notes darker... or make it a black shirt with yellow notes.
LoveLifeShirts
cool concept
$5
mjachner
great idea...but for it to be apparent...you should not only make the notes closer toghtther and larger, but drop the lines without notes, so that there would be a large bold black line and then a completely yellow one, witch should allow you to bring the lines with notes much closer toghether and make therefore much more of them, incresing the stripped bumble bee look tenfold
wolfrevolt
ha! this is ridiculous to play. the musician will appreciate this.
slothesarecool
Song makes my fingers ache. $5
RobotDemonDancer
yeah darken the lines for sure, maybe make the notes bumble bees instead of notes, liven it up a little, ya know?
Sparlingo
Condensing the height of the bars of music, along with boldening them will accomplish the bee stripy-ness.
Once that is done it's a true $5. For now it's a 5 because I want TL to pay attention to this design and print it's bumble bee successor.
alpha charlie
Love the idea... bring out the "stripe-ness" and add bees.
suparupa86
band dorks are shouting huzzah everywhere- i love it!!
Willish
I agree that it needs to be bold thicker lines and most certainly have some bees buzzing around the notes to make it clearer.
BlueEmu
It might work if you made the staff small...like really small.
I mean, its a long piece there's plenty of music. But small music
would produce a "darker" black area without making it too hard
to read, along teh lines of a halftone. If you were to then space
the staffs a little differently, say, lay three close togeather, then
leave a nice wide band, and repeat that down the shirt, it might
just accomplish your goal...if you catch my sublt formatting... :)
I LOVE the concept, and want one when you make it work!
screenaged
Brilliant idea. Try putting the staves closer together, and as everyone has said make them bolder. The stripes will be smaller, but more distinct.
Lhiiiz
agreeing about the thickness, but that's been covered. I like it.
