mezo on May 30 '08 It is a truly great idea, and the illustration keeps in par with your amazing style....HOWEVER, I am totally turned off by the girly girl girl's version considering I'd much prefer and wear the cool dark creepy guy's version. Still a 4 for the innovative use of screenery.

coooool!

Fantastic Concept/Design.
It's Rockin my world Mr Rocks. Well done! |
 |
I like this a lot, and the dual choice is good. I _really_ don't like your assumption that you know which one is for guys and which one for girls; also, things that are dark and chthonic are mythologically considered female, all over the world. Fortunately I'm not voting on you, but on your design. Your phrasing came real close to losing me though.

Mr Rocks on Jun 01 '08 Harfangoria : I'm sorry you feel this way. As I say above there's no reason why 'guys' and 'gals' versions couldn't be printed for everyone. Maybe my 'phrasing' has put some folks off, but this was not my intention, and apologies if you feel this way.
|
 |
Nice one Mr. $$5
I'd prefer it with one on the back and one on the front, to fully appreciate the technique |
|
Mr Rocks on Jun 01 '08 Thats a great idea Guillermo , thanks.
|
 |
Robsoul on Jun 01 '08 a 4, mezo? geez, tough crowd.
Great stuff, love the work and idea behind the concept. Love the characters. 5+$ |
 |
roadkill3d on Jun 01 '08 Fantastic illo as always. I wouldn't mind the guy's-gal's version.
|
 |
Flying Mouse on Jun 01 '08 Original! I like the girl and guy idea.
|
 |
Could you do the same concept with UV ink? Very cool idea.
|
 |
Raid71 on Jun 02 '08 great idea
|
 |
steven218 on Jun 02 '08 clever, clever stuff
|
 |
hogboy on Jun 02 '08 Great work Blair! Cool idea, great drawing & an awesome color palette.
|
 |
why do guys and girls have to have such different designs
gender descriminator |
 |
Such a clever idea though.
|
 |
cpdesign on Jun 02 '08 Awesome illo Mr. Rocks. I think the double sided design would be a cool idea as well. 5
|
|
Mr Rocks on Jun 02 '08 LYSSIE: as I have said, descrimination was not my intention. In hindsight, I would like to revise the name of each button and put 'light' and 'dark' instead of 'girls' and 'guys'.
|
 |
Nice one, Blair.
Let's not get hung up on the guys and girls thing - just look at it as 2 versions of an awesome design :) |
 |
blair stop discriminating! haha
only kidding bud, its great you know i love it $5 |
|
too freaky. I just want to see how this would print up - it's such a cool idea.
|
 |
andyg on Jun 02 '08 Nice!
|
 |
Awesome comment! $5 x
|
 |
Fantastic as always, B - I'm totally blown away by the process trickery, truly genius. Print nerds everywhere are going to mess their shorts.
|
|
smartest print(ing) I ever did see... rock, Blair rock
|
 |
pilihp on Jun 02 '08 very slick idea. great illo and nice presentation ;)
|
 |
fatheed on Jun 02 '08 This is great. A really nice idea - wish it could actually transform using UV ink or somesuch technology.
|
 |
best idea on Threadless.
I love it. 5 buckaroonies. Probably a better take would be "EMO's take the dark version, all others take the light..." or somesuch.... heh. |
 |
antosh on Jun 02 '08 Beautiful illustration as always Mr.Rocks!:) Both girl's and boy's version. I like the size of it on the shirt too. Awesome stuff!!!
5! |
 |
great concept! UV inks is a good idea. $5
|
 |
I thnk this is beautiful..
The illustration is awesome.. I'll buy 3! |
 |
stingerstyler on Jun 03 '08 Awesome idea Blair - and great illo(s)!
|
 |
Bramish on Jun 03 '08 Great stuff Blair. Solid and original, and the presentation really helps the concept shine through.
lyssie on Jun 02 '08 why do guys and girls have to have such different designs gender descriminator Don't be a loon. It's just a novel way of presenting two versions of the same design. |
 |
great idea with the screen order!
and nice design! |
 |
If I had a vagina I'd be so pissed at you right now
|
|
lyssie takes it a bit too far... I whined a bit, but I had the sense to $5 the thing based on my tastes. Bramish, I will say it's not especially novel, and the gender stuff around here does sometimes get tiring overall.
The nerds in space, the disenfranchised folks turned superheroes and such, the protagonists of so many great ideas-become-shirts are male. I think that's why some of us get fed up now and then. I understand where lyssie's coming from. You're right, MrRocks: light and dark would have made more sense. |
 |
guy's or gal's..... I LOVE IT!!!! great illo, great colors and concept. what more could you ask for?!?!!?!? PRINT, PRINT!, PRINT!
|
 |
Very interesting.
|
|
thsi is really cool, i want the girls one :)
|
 |

|
 |
Arrow08 on Jun 04 '08 nice idea, nice illo!
|
 |
Ellsswhere on Jun 05 '08 interesting blair... something outside your box, cool
|
 |
I love how the hummingbird becomes trapped in the dark version. As for the girl/guy thing, I think the gender difference would work brilliantly with this design.
|
 |
sonmi on Jun 05 '08 such a smart idea that i can see had a lot of thought put into it! love the colors, and i'm such a sucker for those retro star flares. awesome blair!!
|
|
Mr Rocks on Jun 05 '08 thanks trippyhippie, that took me a while to figure out how to do.
|
 |
Ste7en on Jun 05 '08 Great illustration, love the way the composition stays nearly identical but the theme becomes fundamentally different, in each version.
|
 |
awesome! Two totally different things: light-dark, good-evil
|
 |
Luke... on Jun 06 '08 superb balance

About my design
So, you got 2 designs in one. Also, you could change colours of the shirt for guys and gals, as well and the colour scheme Even mix it up, as I am sure some women will prefer the guys design, and some men will like the girls.
I hope you all like it, which ever you would choose. And special thanks to Phil Tseng for his help presenting this design.
