About my design

by David Messer
No special requirements. Maybe this could be a 'loves' design - depends which way you look at it.

Without knowing the name of the shirt it might create a lot of confusion. Then again it might just be that I'm not very keen on visual jokes.

no it SHOULD NOT be a cylinder. It's the old square peg in circle trick. It's not supposed to work!

Some of the comments here are quite concerning.



That the depicted situation could arise for any one of us should give pause for personal reflection.

couldn't wear it in public, hence not a fan. fun idea, but not for a shirt
haagmeister
haagmeister on Dec 20 '08
love it!



not wear in public? Because things in the public eye are less obscene than this? lol right.

This style looks suspiciously similar to a New Yorker cartoonist of whom I don't know the name.
David Messer
David Messer on Dec 20 '08
Thank you everyone for all the comments so far.



Re Chengui's comment, I don't know which cartoonist you are referring to, but I can say for certain that while my style is not unique I'm not consciously copying anyone (except Herge, the creator of Tintin, who I would copy if I was good enough!).



Also, I came up with this idea at least 15 years ago, forgot about it for that long, found it in a box of old drawings, thought it would be a good T-shirt then redrew it for Threadless with minimal changes. Hope that sets your suspicons at rest.

:)

Fair enough. I DO see some heavy Tintin influence :)

Haha, love it.

If the hole had a little depth to it that may help though, right now it looks like a trimmed bush.

a square hole and a round peg - would that be any better?
