Hi,



My design is based on 'Laika' (she was a Soviet space dog (c. 1954–November 3, 1957) that became the first living mammal to orbit the Earth and the first orbital casualty.)



I'm a dog lover but also into the whole notion of space travel and this event was an important one in that development. Before all your Buzz Aldrons and Armstrongs there was Laika and I think she should be celebrated!!



The design is currently set up as 7-colours but to push the boat out a bit it might be nice to introduce a metallic or threads (for the rocket 'tikka tikka' lines)



I have chose to put the design on a dark navy but I could see it working on a number of colour options.



Your feedback positive or negative would be appreciated.

very cute! i think your illustration is strong on its own without the text. the back story is kind of sad. i hate to know the poor pup died. your illustration homage is very cute though. best of luck! :D

I'm a sucka for a good trivia. I love the history lesson and the overall feel of the style. If I could ask you for any change, it would be to create depth behind the porthole onto the dog suit. Just a hint of depth to complete the feel you have otherwise created.

I feel the style is a little too close to J Otto Seibold's work - particularly his dog character "Mr Lunch" and his Space Monkey books. www.jottodotcom.com

Really like it, nice reference to cartoon images (presume it's ^ that I'm thinking of).

$5

nice pup!

I almost thought that this was a Moxy Früvous song... they had a song about the same concept... Cool reference!

i'd buy that for a dollar!!

And maybe a game of who's line is it anyway...

hehe

this shirt is alright, but i'd like to see one dedicated to felix, the first kitty in space. :)
