NomadSlim on Apr 09 '08 More explanation...
Inspired by the poem 'The Rime of the ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I wanted to make a design that embraced the idea of having an albatross hung from your neck. Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks Had I from old and young ! Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. |

I really love the idea! But I don't so much like the "leaned against a freshly-painted brick wall" effect. I couldn't tell what it was until I read the title -- red flag for me.

An albatross-around-the-neck shirt is an awesome idea, whether or not it's connected to Rime. If the albatross were more recognizable, I'd buy it like _that._

NomadSlim on Apr 09 '08 Hmm.. well thanks very much for your comments, I had the same feedback from friends, after looking at it for so long it's hard for me not to see the bird.
I also thought that it would be nicer abstract as some people might not find it appealing to have a dead bird on their shirt. Maybe I will get started on a new an improved version. |

hooo! Iron Maiden made that into a song, so inherently this shirt is awesome.

Yeah- I love the idea, but not the texture...at first I thought it was a towel..

Ditto here love the idea not a fan of how it was pulled off sry

About my design
From the fiends that plague thee thus! -
Why look'st thou so?' - "With my crossbow
I shot the Albatross."
For all our burdens and the wrong we've done.
