Came to me while i was in my car listening to stone sour and saw some pigeons on a power line.

4 days later

Hah, you're right. It is quite subtle. I'm not sure I'd have noticed it if wasn't for the title. But it's clever.

I don't know about the clouds though.

Nice colours.

I love! 5$

Oscarilbo on Jan 03 '08

5$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss_Beasley on Jan 03 '08

The farther back I got, the easier it was to "catch" the cleverness. I love it! $5!

li4m on Jan 03 '08

love it 5$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

againstbound on Jan 03 '08

thanks a lot =), yeah, i know its subtle, i just didnt wanted it to be too obvious, i wanted it to be simple and aesthetic and carry within a musical meaning that the wearer can choos to share or keep =)

I'm a pianist, and I think it's clever. But if you hadn't mentioned it was music-related (and the shirt itself won't, of course), I don't think anyone would notice how the color pattern resembles a keyboard octave.

Eduardo Trigueros muybien on Jan 04 '08

$5 !!!! this tshirt is cool !

fullofhope on Jan 04 '08

good to wear this!

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

thanks a lot, but due to the vagueness (is that word correct) of the concept i´m not sure how well it would go, at least i hope it doesnt get dropped :/

Renizzle on Jan 04 '08

i think the focus is lost from the birds since they are so low and/or b/c of the clouds

but i really like this idea. $4

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

thanks a lot, mmm averyone preffered the lower placement (me included) might be the clouds, but i thought they kinda lead you down to the birds

Wennie on Jan 04 '08

wow! great idea :]

FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 04 '08

You had me at "i was listening to some stone sour."

Oh wait, that's where you lost me.

Also, this doesn't really imitate a piano very well.

Liza Phoenix on Jan 04 '08

nice :)

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

thanks, and frickinawesome, its not supposed to imitate a piano, but to represent an octave of it, look it up =)

lunchboxbrain on Jan 04 '08

nice work! i'd like to see it on a light blue tee. 5

iztastic on Jan 04 '08

I'm a music major. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII love this.

victor_lloyd on Jan 04 '08

I'll buy it!!!!!!!!!! 5$

surveytheclouds on Jan 04 '08

its been done before,
and is on several commercials.
neat

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

really? which commercials? i dont live in the US so...

izzybif on Jan 04 '08

It reminds me of that Pixar intro to Monsters Inc.
I Like it a lot though

ellabeeinc on Jan 04 '08

do the clouds mean something? I think I would like it with out them, I really like the birds...
I'm also going with a blue tee...

melancholydreamer on Jan 04 '08

Oh yeah, agreed, no clouds.
What a neat concept.

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

damn, everyone in citique liked the clouds, the original design didnt have them, oh and thanks =)

emma.hachey on Jan 04 '08

cute but in my opinion not worth printing. a lot of people do bird subs, it's getting old.

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

^yeah but the woot ripoff was hilarious ¬¬

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

sorry abou that last comment, im usually nicer, i just havents slpet well all week, gotta take a nap now

MelloManiac44 on Jan 04 '08

love the idea, would love to see it on a light blue shirt too!

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

thanks, actually in critique i had it in sand and blue options, butthe sand won

mixmaster12000 on Jan 04 '08

reminds me of cancer bats.

againstbound on Jan 04 '08

huh? wtf are cancer bats?

fouchnickens on Jan 04 '08

I like your idea... Perhaps bring the line of birds higher up onto the t-shirt and have some type of music-related activity happen underneath... like the cartoon representation of someone playing an instrument (a flute came to mind), but instead of the wavy music, you have the birds above/beside.

Or I'd have the birds singing while sitting on a washline on a sheet or piece of laundry that could suggest the shape of a piano, fluttering in the wind.

Savage Companion on Jan 05 '08

I wish more people participated in critiques.

brookhowe on Jan 05 '08

i really like this, and I would buy it because I play piano. It should almost say piano basics somewhere on the shirt, like on the back or something, but even without, hell yeah its awesome. Props.

againstbound on Jan 05 '08

thanks, but i predict a below 2 score on this, at least it hasnt been dropped =)

BeBeBaLLeR on Jan 05 '08

Wonderful concept!

againstbound on Jan 06 '08

jesshenn on Jan 06 '08

omg, this is great! =]

Sopita on Jan 06 '08

i love it $5 =)

sgleeson on Jan 06 '08

I love it! The birds were a fantasmic idea.

I don't really get the clouds though... i think the shirt could even possibly work without them.

vixyish on Jan 07 '08

Ohhhhh, I want this t-shirt like *burning*. 5 and a buy.

againstbound on Jan 07 '08

merci, merci mes amis =)

memoangeles on Jan 07 '08

This shirt is great man! I wish you good luck!

masudo on Jan 07 '08

im a musician and i love this!!!! 5$!!

againstbound on Jan 07 '08

RosaLF on Jan 07 '08

Oh. My. God. I love it times about a million. $5. 'E gads they better print this...

bowiecat on Jan 07 '08

$5! Birdies.

letusbefree on Jan 07 '08

ooh, this is sweet. 5$ without the clouds, but i'll still give it a 5.

Corinn on Jan 07 '08

I think it'd be better if the birds were across the chest, but this is still brilliant.

sammmmanthaj on Jan 07 '08

So, apparently it's just me - but i like the clouds! I think it'd be much too plain without them, and i'm really satisfied with the birds being towards the bottom. people just stare at my chest if things get too high, so to find nice, classy shirts like this with a catchy design on the bottom is always a great find. $5 i love it.

againstbound on Jan 08 '08

yeah, everyone in critique liked the clouds, im hearing complains til now, but still thank you all =)
