Indie hipsters are lame. Take it from an indie nerd. :D I like it. It makes me think of hippies. No reason, it just does.

is the plant actually supposed to be coming out f the egg or not, if you raised the back side of the egg to make it look more so it might be good if that was your intention

There have been a few people who have left comments that they're not down with green. What color do you think this image would look best on? I'm open to suggestions! If the shirt doesn't get selected for production, I may submit it a second time against a different colored shirt.

green is best for this I think... I dunno about that fille person up there talking about egg then nature... cuz thats not at all what I thought when I first saw it. but I guess alot of people are going to view something like this in a different light.

i like it. i'd buy it if the price was right. the green on green is subtle but i'm sure different shades of green would look alright.

I like it, but I might seccond the critique which reccomended raising the back of the eggshell to show a sence of depth (and that the tree is inside) is a little tweak that might make a significant difference to how the egg looks

I would buy, it's awesome. The green works fine for me too. I wouldn't worry about the green nay-sayers.



Raising the back of the egg would be a good idea, but it looks fine without as well.

I love the design and the colour scheme.5. but i will like know what does it mean or symbolize.
Tom Brazelton
Tom Brazelton on Aug 10 '04
Since there's only one day left at the time of this comment, I wanted to answer tasty palet's question...



The meaning isn't anything profound. It's a kind of rebirth metaphor. I think it represents the resiliance of life - How it can spring up where you least expect it.



Truthfully, I had the image in my head before I developed the meaning. Now watch - Everyone is going to reject the psuedo-intelectual b.s. and start voting "0"...

Kind of reminds me of the cover art on Wilco's "A Ghost Is Born." I likes it.

That's a very nice thing to say, float! Thank you!



Any idea what Threadless' turn around time is for printing scored submissions? Still kind of a "newb" to this. I don't quite understand the mechanics of their selection.
