About my design

by kenforst
The design is intended to be a story starter.

Whoever starts the story names all the characters and continues the story as they wish.

I have named the hero character "Burr", but considering the pose, the child could be a boy or girl.



I must be from the old school of illustrators- Rackham, N.C. Wyeth, Tenniel, Shepard- when they illustrated scenes from books, there was usually a caption. It's easily removed.



And again, I wanted this to be more than a shirt. I can envision an adult seeing it and engaging the child in making up a story about it together.

Interesting idea. it looks like a page the from the middle of a story book.

i think the caption enhances the image, as you say, a story starter.

I like the idea of using it for a story. Also the touches of yellow throughout the black & white.

I like the picture but I think the font doesn't suit it.

berrybunny-

I agree somewhat- it's just my quick hand lettering, but I wanted a spontaneous feel for it at the time. I probably would change it, but I don't think that's possible now. Thanks for the comment.
