About my design
by RAISEnoCHICKEN   
I think this competition was probably wrapped up before I even put pen to paper. There have been some great submissions so far. If you haven't seen the rest I recommend checking them out immediately. But me, I'm a glutton for punishment and I guess one more design couldn't hurt.

This shirt is based on my favorite historical myth from childhood. I started out imagining famous travel or exploration events from history to serve as inspiration, but I kept coming back to this image. I know that Iceland and Greenland weren't intentionally named as misleading descriptors to throw off viking invaders, but I wish I still believed they were. Myths are often more interesting than the truth.

The design is only 3 inks (the green is a half-tone of the yellow over blue) and a white puff-ink (for the fuzzy boots and horns) on a natural shirt.

I wish the colors were bolder, but this is out-of-sight nonetheless.

You're sweet, but I think you know 3.45 is a ridiculously high score. Well deserved, but so demoralizing. I'll give you and the other submitters a better run for your money on the next one. Well done sir.

I've always thought the mis-naming of the "lands" was a really hilarious story that few seemed to spin, and you have done so in the freshest and glorious way possible! I love love love the story told here and how you have linked the images together and balanced the two worlds in front of the clearly perplexed vikings. A sweet boatload of colors leads this to clearly marking "x" or "5$" on the printing press spot.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all of your feedback and especially your encouraging words.

A special thanks, however, goes out to tsatterfield reminding me of my family's proclivity for crack exposure and to Babbs66 not only for her lovely comments, but also for not drowning me at birth (as she probably should have done). Be nice to 'em gang, them thar is kin.
