As a child, balloons always seemed like such a source of wonder and fun. When I was young, my vivid imagination pieced together a notion that if I were to plant a balloon and water it, it would grow into a tree that produced infinite wonder. The thoughts children can think up sometimes.

...or read in a book called "The Balloon Tree" by Phoebe Gilman in 1984.

i really love your design... when you look at it, the colors just stand out and it brings you in... makes you smile when you think about a memory you have from when you were younger... my only thing is that the person on the front of the shirt you can't really see them...maybe turn her white???

Nice concept, but for some reason I can't get the idea out of my head that it's a mushroom cloud from a nuclear bomb.

Perhaps have a little kid picking a balloon off the tree? That would be cute.

Where were you people when I was critiquing this? I critiqued it and it's original version forever trying to get honest feedback and they always come out of the woodwork when you're ready to pull the trigger. =X Ugh, sorry I've been working on this thing forever and it's just never good enough for you people I don't know what else I could do shy of scrapping it and moving on...

It's great as is. It will never be good enough for EVERYONE. Don't worry about that. Don't scrap it. I love it.

Awesome. (I'd love to see the figure more clearly too though - and the design on a light Tee) *****

i dont really like the person on the left and the streaks of color bursting from their head. i think it would work better with the balloons trailing off onto the back of the shirt (as you already have) and then incorporating someone else's earlier comment and have a child plucking a balloon off somewhere closer to the tree.

The tree and roots are so perfect though, beautiful, i really love it. =]

perhaps try something other than balloons in your next design.

I really love. Maybe instead of having the streams going the back, have the streams go up, to fill the rest of the space on the shirt. It would give it a sense of flying, like a balloon. Other than that I absolutely LOVE IT. Please threadless print this. $5
