Before The Love

About the design

Submitted by davidfromdallas on July 15, 2009

Every one of us is either in the "loved" stage or the "pre-loved" stage. Just like objects, people can get handed down and passed around before they finally find that perfect someone.



This is the story of an average man looking to be loved.



Hope you enjoy.

FRICKINAWESOME

Yeay at the most literal take on the Pre-Loved theme and double yeay for it being this inspiring! Not something i would wear but something that deserves a printing, LOVE the subtle change in color smudges throughout the piece and the overall comedy/sincerity/sweetness of the design, three moods which are hard to juggle together!

Seabs

really like the style the figures are drawn in and looks really good on the tee. would prefer the text to be handwritten in the same simple style as the drawings. 5

Heavenward Bound

this is great, the simplicity of the illustration and the subject works really well. $5

littleclyde

great simple style and cool take on the theme!

Montro

hahah this is so awesome! Eventually you can do the sequel starting on the ¨love¨ then the relationship goes to shit with ¨selfishness¨ then ¨infidelity¨ then ¨jealousy¨ then ¨divorce¨ then ¨bitterness¨ then ¨double murder¨ then ¨prison¨....erm...anyway would wear this in a heartbeat!

So good. And the graduation from gray to red is so smart.

I'm actually surprised at how good it looks on the tshirt - I'd totally wear this. And the titles for the stages are spot on. Really great work!
