Wow.. creepy as hell.. I really like it! I don't know about the halo though, or at least the yellow on it. Otherwise, really great design, good job.

My friend recently got his 'brown wings' but that's something completely different.

Creepy story to tell your friends while wearing the shirt.

You'll be the most POPular guy in school.

Awesome design, but I'd like to see it on a differnt colour shirt

saddam on Feb 26 '04
there's no way it's already been done.......and it's not a creepy story, it's a creepily innocent image depicting anxiety...something like that

i'm mildly worried by the content, putting her as an angel suggests leaving this world to me.

but like i said "mildly"..

saying anxiety doesn't help tho..

and never say "something like that"

you might be trying to curtail your explanation

but as a piece of advice, it can become misconstrued as you not knowing what you're on about



but you can draw obviously so i know what you're on about

I hope you've got her permission. But it's a really, really cool design.

Not something i'd wear, but I appreciate the illustration and the fact that this is actually meaningful unlike some of the other stuff on threadless.
saddam
saddam on Feb 28 '04
thanks stotty......it is somewhat a dark image but it does mean something and it is mainly an illo and not a shirt....i just wanted to submit something better than what i had.

Wow. You know, I actually gained a lot of respect for you with this, Saddam. It's really really good. Nice work. It really is lovely. =]



I hope this makes it.

This peice was nicely done. The odd subject matter/concept works well to grab a veiwers attention. This feels like a very dark image but the black elements are not in competition with the blue and white (on figure) altho the massive white of the rest of the t-shirt is the only problem i have i think this would benifit from a different color. I cant decide whether or not i like the type....on one hand i like the fact it synchs up with the graphic inking style of the wings and the lower partof the image, but i feel like id doesnt function that well at the same time. All in all i think youve got something interesting to look at and definatly something worth a buy. i want ot give yo ua five but there are something thatneed to be work on so 4 for now
saddam
saddam on Mar 01 '04
thank u both and i'll hopefully do more t shirt styles......yeah the font isn't perfect, it actually might be better if i did it by hand.....and a gray shirt might be better?

I like the initial image. Maybe the odd tweak here and there to improve it.

I like the design overall. I looked at the detail, and she seems cut in half and pieced back together. If that's intentional, I can't figure out why. Its distracting to me -- I would think the shirt was wrinkled or something.

intentional cut because it signifies anxiety, mentally impaired through prescribed medication.

i also like symmetry but imperfection is more real to me

Not sure if you'll read this.....but thanks for your comment....... be easy on the obviously bad dseigners......i was an asshole when i got on here as well........most of them are just fucking around...threadless isn't the place to get things printed anyways.......plus your ideas are sacrificed once u submit them.



i'm just trying to open people's minds.......it is not political



Why threadless? because i can reach around 500 people.....................and the time is now to tell people.



IT IS REAL,



I know u can feel weird things going on.......people's awareness is opening without them trying because of people like me planting a seed .........initially you'll dismiss it, then you'll see something or FEEL something and the lightbulb goes on.........you either keep going, go back to the program (day to day watching the football game, brainwashing tv shows that keep u entertained)



But i understand people's reactions...........if u were told since u were born the sun is fatal, you would sleep all day and adapt because that is "reality".......seperate the ego and look into it, there's a reason why movies like FARENHEIT 911 are coming out. John Kerry isn"t the answer.......... him and Bush were both part of a secret society at Yale, that is common knowledge by now.......if i would have said that on Threadless, all hell would break loose (probably not).........



Innocent tv shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and the 70s show are laced with subtle messages like........ ..marriage sucks, so your marriage should suck as well........think for yourself and become an outcast........stay in line...........even the screenwriters don't know what they're doing........it's on a different level (call it inspiration, spiritual influence, whatever)



People are waking up and the dark side (whatever u want to call it) is reacting just as fast.......the goal is to destroy America, the last free (somewhat) society.........from the inside out.......economically, socially, and keep tabs on every person through computers and microchips (coming soon to your vein)........



////////////////////////////////////



Several TOP microbiologists have been killed for what they know........bioweapons.......

Meaning a large scale chemical attack is planned by the US government to use on their own country for the following reason:



Population control.........easier to contol a quarter of the population after a "vaccine" is given to same them......and in the vaccine? a cute little MICROCHIP...........

Order out of chaos.............blow up the world trade center, then create new laws to make sure it won't happen again. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it. The evil doers did it..............



Say it enough times and people believe it. However it is now almost common knowledge that Bush was involved. But then people don't look into to it anymore because the media just touches the surface.



Why? Because the media, politicians, business leaders are all buddies...........all have similar agendas...u watch my back, i'll give your son a sweet job.........that's one level. It runs deeper.........like a pyramid..........









Here are some of the players that look after themselves more than little old you.............look under "media"
