About the design

Submitted by olie! on March 15, 2008

My entry for Human Giant Loves Threadless.

I am thrilled with how this came out, and I can honestly say that about very few of my designs. Inspired by a lot of things, but mostly Max Fleischer’s animation work, where all the characters are always happily dancing to some crazy scat jazz, regardless of what is going on.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do =)

so rad

my only suggestion is not to fade out the tree on the left. everything else is drawn as a whole and there's only a teeny bit of the tree missing, so it shouldn't be a problem finishing that guy. then it's perfect.

Thank you all for the support so far!
Rachel Ray Gun: Yeah I faded the tree off because it kept the whole design in a neater rectangle, which I thought would fit better on a shirt since this would pretty much go from one side to the other. But you do have a point, so I made that simple change you suggested below anyway =)

yes! perfect! i wouldn't worry about it being an exact rectangle, a finished shape like that second version is visually interesting and will still fit on a shirt. :)

shakethesheets

oh man, I'm in love!

and nice crit, Rachel... It's definitely much better with the tree intact.

Dashel

Yes yes!

I like the style (old cartoons). 5$
