About my design
by davidfromdallas   
ilovedoodle + davidfromdallas = davidfromdoodle

The idea started as a simple drawing of a dude surfing some waves on a whale's tail. A few days later, doodle came up with the idea of having the waves emerge from the whale's blowhole. A few tweaks here, a few tweaks there, and with some incredible advice from the thread-legend alvarejo, Whale Rider was born.

We hope you like it!

(and a BIG thanks to Phil for the magic presentation)

actually, as much as it's incredibly well drawn, I think it's a tad too busy.

I think this is seriously one of the best ideas I have come across at Threadless, I just think it is over-designed — between the illustrative surfer, cartoon-like whale, realistic clouds and birds and the graphic whale eye — there are just too many styles going on here.
