ha. possibly make it bigger? and i like the lines... i'm wondering if that could be incorporated elsewhere on the shirt.... perhaps as a muzzle flash or something.

i think it's fuckin bad ass too, i just really wanna muzzle flash!
and i'm not sure what other gun he could use.... i mean ak47's are too overdone... and i guess if you wanted to go for classy you'd want a tommy gun... but at that profile angle... you wouldn't be able to tell if it was a tommy gun or not..

oh man, you could use a HK MP5 Sub-Machine Gun, or a Desert Eagle .50, or a.....the uzi is fine. muzzle flash would be sorta cool, but i like the concept, and the worn gritty deign. very cool, good clors too, id buy. 5

any sort of submachine gun i don't think would work. i mean their utilitarian. rough. rugged. he's wearing a bowler
and suit. that shows class. even a .45 would be too utilitarian. maybe a luger. or somthing else associated with class, and perssision or accuracy. i'm sort of finnicky about guns in images. a specific gun can show us somthing about a character in an image. nines are sloppy, but high volume. .45's are classic but can still knock some one off their feet. the fact that he's in a suit shows us that he's refined. he'd want a gun thats suits that sort of personality. uzi's have bad accuracy with incredible volume. thier blocky and bulky, and not particularly good looking guns. huge amounts of volume, but entirely no accuracy, and very little sense of style . so i really think the uzi clashes with the rest of the image. i suppose if i wasn't a writer i wouldn't obsess much about this. but even from a graphic point a view the blocky uzi doesn't fit the image. everyhting is smooth, tight and reserved. and then there is this giant blocky gun with tones of casings. any smaller hand gun would really be good. some thing with a sleeker smaller look. a walther ppk, a sig 228.

RyuBot4000, i think your looking too much into, but your right about the uzi being too blocky, maybe an mp5 short? like this one http://remtek.com/arms/hk/mil/mp5k/mp5k.htm

Wow, thanks for all the insightful comments about the uzi. I picked it for two reasons:

Visually: The uzi is long, rigid, and boxy. I thought that would fit well visually with the bussiness man who is also long and rigid. Notice how the mans arm is a 90' angle to the rest of his body, kinda like how the uzi looks.The briefcase is also boxy.

Contextually: And in the end I liked how the distinguished looking man was in contrast to the ultra-violent utilitarian uzi.

thanks for the comments.

it really makes you think, if i saw someone with this shirt i would probley stop the person and ask them were they got it, or i would be to scared to ask him and be pissed later in life that i did not ask him, i would buy it...

i agree with simple fish but i like this shirt... remeniscent of Renee Magritte.. with uzis i mean.... i like the contrast of suit vs uzi.... but for some reason i feel like he should be holding an umbrella.... i cant say why, but i reallly feel a need for an umbrella in place of or with the breifcase im not sure.... but god i want there to be an umbrella in it.... one with a curved end handle and points... opened up maybe hovering to his left

I'd buy it, and I voted 5 because for soem reason the design really strikes me.

I know it's late for changes, but I think it may be better without the lines inside the figure
