You ask kids what they want to be nowadays and they always seem to come up with something involving money. Forget about CEOs and superstars, where are those kids who want to be cowboys, spacemen and superheroes? This design is for anybody who wanted to obtain the unobtainable when they grew up.

amazing. love the placement. $5

Excellent details and concept.

Diggin the design, diggin the style, diggin the concept...good work

amazing but (not to be lame and generic) where is the ninja?

this is really cool but i think it might be cool to have the imaginary things look like the little boy...you know because as a kid you would imagine yourself in those roles and not someone else...other then that its a 5

this is excellent! i really dig the little boy looking at his watch and all of his imaginary characters waiting anxiously to find out if they get to hang around. PRINT PRINT PRINT PRINT PLEASE! $5 for sure.

I think this is your best work so far Brian!

this is perfect.

i think this needs some colour tbh

Could be a great animated cartoon series! Think about it!

i think need some colors... but in other ways its awesome!

great characters 5$

Thanks, Eric and everyone else for your positive comments.

madenew - I did consider making the imaginary characters kids, but as a kid I didn't play at being a kid version of those different things; I imagined myself as the real thing. Plus I kind of liked the reversal of the ridiculous adults characters and the career oriented kid.

squidspawn - he's the one in the knight costume :)

I really like the minimal colors used, it really brings the focus onto the boy. I also like how the imaginary characters are drawn in line. GREAT!

great characters, I like it on the darker gray.

The expression you managed to capture on his face is nothing short of amazing!

hihi

hi gorty.

Yay! $5

cool

Ha ha i like the kids superhero lunchbox/briefcase

aw, this is a wonderful idea.
i remember those days...

i love the dinosaur!

it is very nicely drawn

beautiful design, beautiful message, but you might want to make the clothes of the boy more serious, so the person who sees it would see that something is wrong. the first time i saw this, i thought it was a concept artist running out of ideas or something. i love how all the characters look sad.

Thanks, irmo - those are good observations. I wouldn't mind it being interpreted differently.

I really like how you've refined your style from your earlier subs, and your character work on this one is top notch, too

this is perfect. i want one xD
$5

love the idea!!! Great drawing too!! $5

rad

Love it as a concept, but I don't think I'd wear it. That's just me though, it's a cracking design, and would suit other bodies

I dig it

Reminds me of the sleep commercial with Abe Lincoln and the beaver.

I LOVE THIS. Im a graphic designer, so I get a lot of "Your just in it because it pays" crap from some artists. This is absolutely wonderful. I actually like the act that he is wearing dad's shoes, but i didn't get that at first, so irmo might be right. Its also just rewarding to see something when you get closer so you can leave it :D

p.s. GLad that the red print isnt actually on teh shirt.

Wow, great characters and style!

Thank you gonzalez, I like sticking that little stuff in there and I'm glad to hear that people like the design enough to investigate further.

IanLeino - Thanks for your comment, those first few subs that I submitted over a year ago....are not my favorite. I may have Threadless delete them at some point :)...Plus they were done before I could livetrace any of my linework, which has helped a ton.

Thank you all for the comments, I really appreciate hearing what you think.

Wonderful characters, love the gestures and expressions. $5

Haha, I love the superhero!

thIS sHIrt is pretty tight get it on a shirt so I can buy
