About my design
by radreb
(Two pictures - should change every 10 seconds)
this design contains camoflage art

Maybe the Threadless community can suggest what t-shirt medium to use,
as some of these options are new to me. I submit to your expertise.

I see Moby in black shirts alot, so I'm using black.
I lived in Manhattan New York for 4 years and remember well the rad feeling
of the night life there like no where on earth.
All the crazy birds for my back image- swarming above the city , drunk with it's toxicity -
represent all pleasure-seeking souls who know it could be their last night on earth.
My vision for this design grew slowly from
reading / hearing Moby's lyrics over and over again.
I'm an artist and wannabe keyboard /mixman so I can appreciate what a very conscious
and special musician he is.
this one's for you Moby! ~ Reb.

ps...(there's lots of symbolism in this design
related to the "Last Night" lyrics... if someone asks, I'll explain.)
Any comments are very much appreciated.

I really like the idea of it - but im not a big fan of the illustration style, very pixelated and 90's clip art.

hi lissurlanes,
no ther's not a drop of clip art... it's all first hand-
drawn by me, and the original is hi-res- no pixelation .
here's some close-ups:
top- back and front
and..

top- back and front

and..
top- back and front

Maybe the Threadless community can suggest what t-shirt medium to use,
as some of these options are new to me. I submit to your expertise. Water-based inks sound pretty good to me i guess.

These are the first and last verses in Moby's lyrics from "Last Night":

"Soft sympathetic patch of ground
Where I can lay my heavy burden down
Oh beautiful scene in decay
There to remind us that nothing stays the same "

"This is your last night on earth
Remember us for all that we were
Take sweet memories with you, with you
And plant those seeds somewhere new"

I have the Peace dove delivering in her beak a seed of sweet memories...
the girl represents the human soul immersed in this world of dreams and nightmares,
but she can now recall her sweetest memories (Moby compares to seeds)
which she will plant "somewhere new".

This applies to humanity , not just NY -
La liberté éclairant le monde, (the symbol of liberty and freedom from oppression),
with torch in hand, looks into the distance toward a brighter day...
The dove -symbol of Peace needs to deliver her seeds to many souls,
as it just could be her last night on earth as well,
the way things are going!

Moby :
"Intoxicated birds glide in a swarm
They sing to me their drunken tunes".

Thus , the flock of birds.. heading upward

Really nice overwhelming style here...much more focused than the other one by you i just voted on. I kinda feel what's on the front/back should be flipped to the other side of one another, but the flow of the design is top notch!

I use to live in Ny too. Best design i've seen so far! Looks like it's painted on velvet.
radreb
radreb on May 03 '08
Thanks FrickenAwesome , phones, icookdesign!
i also thought about switching the pictures around.
that can easily be done if Threadless sees the popularity of
it.
- someone told me possibly two separate shirts., or a
one-for-him- one-for-her idea. i'm easy.

btw.. the closeup links i put above are also not hi-res, so...
not much justice to my detail.

whoa, don't know that I'd wear it but it is a very beautiful and complex image that works well on the shirt, and I can tell you put a lot of work into it. Great job.

Elegant and creative, maybe YOU should have a contest to see who can find the 'camoflage art' within your great work. Good choice of 'Black' by the way.
