Last night the moths at my back door found that they were looking for enlightenment in the wrong places.

After much discussion and a couple of drinks, they set off on different paths. Some chose faith, some knowledge and others...well they just found what they needed in an old 45.

It was some night.

I like it, but something about the foreground moths feels distracting and maybe like they're flattening the image. The negative space feels like moths densely fluttering - I wonder if having just one foreground moth, maybe scale it up a bit, would set things off more.

My 2 c.

i don't know what the adaptive-record-size thing in the middle is called, but for some reason i have a real weakness for it and now really love this

Really like the layers of flutterbys on this.

i agree with szechuanstyle - i LOVE the idea, but i think it could be better executed with fewer of the colored foreground moths. the background ones are more intriguing to me design-wise and they kind of get lost from farther away since they're overwhelmed by the other ones... but maybe you were trying to do that? very nice work though! most original butterfly design i've seen in a while!

Yeah, that record spacer thing in the middle makes the design even more rad $5

i love the center design, and i think the butterfly/moths are cool, but i think i would like it a lot better if it were only the middle design and the grey moths that match the background. Minus those i would definitely get this shirt.

Very intriguing design, recognizable but abstract at the same time. Best part is how it looks on the shirt, the composition, colors and placement look great.

not bad, but most of the moths are facing the wrong way. they should be heading towards the center

To explain- not that it really matters-The colored moths heading away are the enlightened ones. The gray moths (the masses)are still trying to become enlightened. I'm just saying that music is one way towards enlightenment.

Awesome design Jim, and I love the little story behind it. How do fireflies fit into your metaphor?

Hey, isn't that a logo from Black Crowes' Three Snakes and One Charm?

richoz
richoz on May 08 '08
I'll give you $5 if it's your original logo. That's too similar with The Black Crowes'.

It's not orginal by the Black Crowes or myself. It's an insert that was used on 45 records so they could play on a regular record player.

A unexpected mixture of imagery.
Nice nostalgia for the old 45 record.
I like it a lot $5.
