now this shows some effort way above the average stuff submitted to Threadless



I applaud you for your illustration and the concept behind it



" Don't .. push .. me .. 'cuuhz .. I'm .. close .. to .. thuh .. ehhdge

I'm .. tryin' .. not .. to .. lose .. my .. head .. Ha ha .. ha .. ha ! "



what an awesome cloud of lyrical text !

neat!



It sorta reminds me of these posters you could buy at book fairs in jr high about like...volleyball and stuff, but way way better.



also they could be completely different as it's been a long time since I was in middle school. but that's what it reminded me of.





I really really like it, though.

I'm a huge fan of both the song and how you presented its wordy and wordly visuals, i think i might like it better without the spraypainting old-school rapper standing off to the right. Maybe just a larger spray paint can to not lose focus of the awesome message held within this winning design.

A lot of detail but it's not too cluttered or busy (the guy peeing on "stairs" is the best!).



I am so-so on the rapper dude.

mezo
   mezo on Feb 15 '08
I like that you included the "HA ha HA ha" but think there are way too many fonts which make the design look like a tangle of random words and not a cohesive message. And considering your inspiration, that doesn't seem right. The idea is there but, for me, the concept is lost with execution. 3

he mezo. thats the concept of the design.it should look like a great hall of fame or a painted train. but not with a stringent typo.
mezo
   mezo on Feb 18 '08
Even graffiti is cohesive, though.

TheW on Feb 18 '08
with one font it would be boring man.
