I could go on an existential rant about the deeper meaning here, but - nah. This was fun for me, I hope you dig it.

awesome idea, and it looks great, but leaves a little to be desired space wise. Have you considered moving the man off center and extending the bricks a little more across the shirt? Otherwise, awesome job.

I def like the idea and art. But I about the use of space.

the bricks behind the figure bug me for some reason.

bricks are too big... i definitely think thats the issue

i think he should be spraying an arm or something.

I like the concept; not so sure about the bricks/hat

Deodand on Apr 08 '08

I also like it - but would a man in a suit be spraying a top hat?

i LOVE this concept!!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

LmcDD! I miss you for one. Two, I love the concept of this. I think the design should be moved down from the neck a little, but other than that, it's sheer prettyness.

lindseymcdd on Apr 09 '08

Hooray, emokitty! I miss you too. I'm really digging all this feedback!

love it! I want it...

I really love this, but as I said in the critique, I still think the brick is unnecessary and it would have been much more cool if he were actually holding up a stencil of his face and spraying THAT on.

Good job, though.

lindseymcdd on Apr 10 '08

Thanks for the comments, folks! I want to say I really do respect the different and creative ideas people are offering. Eventually design comes down to decisions. I think any of these other variations on the design could have turned out awesome, but I hope this one I submitted is pretty awesome too!

:D

Thank you!

i think it's awesome! It looks really good. I do think you should make it bigger though.

neat idea

Maxist on Apr 13 '08

Inspired by Banksy?

lindseymcdd on Apr 13 '08

Banksy is my favorite, an influence for sure, though I didn't think of him when I started . . . He'd probably just take his stencils and paint some shirts at Tesco, if he wanted to do shirts.

I love it! the color scheme works perfectly. I like how the over sized bricks make the focal point on the main subject.
