Would you rather look for peace instead?
(Also to be taken literally to get the design!)

--

This design concept has been sitting for more than a year now. It was originally for the Submarines Loves Threadless competition (http://www.threadless.com/loves/thesubmarines), which had the theme, "Peace and Hate".

The shirt has almost a literal take on the theme, stating that sometimes things just hinder us from seeing the bigger goal of (world) peace.

Christ man, don't do that to my lil pea brain again! I stared and stared at this one until my eyes turned inside out and my cones and rods were dancing in the doorway, and then they finally were relaxed enough to see the negative space in this one. Great work on that, although making it a taaaad bit easier to see would help. This also reminds me how much I miss your interesting submissions. More please!

Hey Evan!! Awww, thanks for the encouragement man! I was so (and still am) busy with my studies (last few years of college!) that my Threadless time gradually decreased.

Nonetheless it's nice of you to welcome me back. BIG thanks for the advice that it's not so noticeable. Probably I'll post a blog to remedy it.

Thanks again, man! Glad to see you again!

Clicky!

Thanks!!

I saw the negative space positive word after I read your "about my Design".
However, I think the word "peace" needs to be better defined. I can't see it on the tee shirt sample even when I know where to look.
And if a girl is wearing it and a guy has to stare too hard to see it, there could be... umm, let's say - not peace.

whoa eye overload, cool!

not my style butta.......... sure.

Awesome design... though it took me a second to see the 'PEACE' between the weapons.

Great concept!

thank goodness someone spelled it out, i think my brain was about to explode

subtle

too subtle i think.
