You should explain about the poppies...
This is gorgeous and a brilliant statement. $5 |
 |
Confused indeed, but beautiful,
|
|
poppies are wild, passionate flowers,
i was just thinking of some of these old movies, when film directors could not show how people make love, but use suggestions... so, here is a sensual and slightly sad lover after long good byes :) i don't know,... something like that |
 |
Hmm...and I was thinking it was a WWI reference "In Flander's fields the poppies blow..." John McCrae. If you don't know it, look it up - it will add a dimension of meaning to your work that you might be able to build upon.
|
|
not to mention the Memorial Day cloth poppies, mostly for WWII vets, that we wear in the US (and the UK, and I think Canada). Алёна, I think you have made a hugely successful antiwar statement, whether you meant to or not. :D
|
|
thank you, i did not know about all these. i am very curious now.
|
 |
i think this is wonderful.
|
|
berrynoir,
i just found the song and the lyrics, really beautiful, thank you, a very valuable historical reference. "Loved and were loved: and now we lie In Flanders fields!" it does give it a whole other dimension. |
 |
It's great. I really like it in orange. It's the first war/statment shirt that I have really liked in quite awhile. As a reservist who is about to deploy, I would love it if this one got printed. $5$
|
 |
fantastic.
|
|
You tapped into something ...
Poppies and fallen soldiers are historicly and symbolicly linked. Here is anothe one: Как нас черным огнем косило В той последней слепой атаке... "Маки, маки на Монте-Коссино", Как мы падали в эти маки... It's about Polish troups in WWII |
|
The blue one makes me feel peacefull...
|
|
something about the composition of her head and the poppy. i want it covering a bit less of her, it feels awkward.
|
|
thank you for the poem
|
 |
LOVE it on cream. LOVEit.
|
 |
Ooo I love it on the cream.
|
|
love this T... the idea is brilliant... opium women and her lover flying away... how powerfull and romantic !!!!!!!
|
 |
hate the orange. yes on the other two. love this design! xoxx
|
|
LOVEIIITTT
|
 |
i like this a lot. the only thing that threw me is the poppie that's in the foreground sort of looks like it's on her head at first glance.
|
 |
Her eyes drill straight through you, loverly design.
|
|
i actually live in Belgium, about 1 hour from the Flanders Fields, it be a great shirt to wear here, people would immediatly get the deeper meaning.
But i think her heads needs some work, it looks a bit weird. |
 |
I love that the girl is from the silent film era. The big eyes of those girls really spoke lines without the use of words. Marvolous.
|
 |
I like this shirt on blue. It has a deep message, and despite it being a bit sad, it also is kind of peaceful. I can't explain it though, but I hope this gets printed.
|
|
love any large woman's face on a shirt
|
|
I really like this and would wear it on memorial day
|
 |
well, i liked before all of the references, but knowing all of the explanations and what-nots... i like it even more!
|
 |
orange please!
|
 |
I LOVE this! Something about it is almost hypnotic. $5
|
 |
the blue shirt....so it's like the sky $5
|
 |
great illustration!
keep up the good work! 5$$$ |
|
I think this is very beautifully done. My first thought was to the poppies and their connection to Remembrance day and mostly WWII. I didn't see their use as a suggestion right away, but having that explained makes it even better. I think it's cool that you chose the poppies without knowing about their other associations (and then having it work so well within your theme). I vote the blue or white t-shirt and I think the woman's face is perfect.
|
|
wow i thought this was deep because of the poppys but it was accidental. but still pretty darn good work gal. i would shift the big red poppy to be a bit further away from the head

thank you every body for support, great comments and references.
on my side: i would not say, it had no deep emotional intention at the beginning. it is about a moment of the departure of a loved one, when you don't know, when and if he will return. but originally i did not thin of Flander's fields. so, i am glad it has some additional meaning. |
|
The flowers look great but something about the womens face scares me.
|
 |
The base color used on the woman's face seems too heavy to me.
I'd love to see this design in black and white, with perhaps just the red of the poppies. Very nice though. |
