About my design

by sassatattoo
Collab with my good friend Paulo Bruno.

Moby-Dick is a symbolic work, but also includes chapters on natural history. Major themes include obsession, religion, idealism versus pragmatism, revenge, racism, sanity, hierarchical relationships, and politics.

I love your illustration and I think it would stand on it's own without the joke. It's like telling everyone who sees that shirt to suck your moby dick.

I agree that the text is terrible. Awful, really. Also, the stars feel a but disconnected (ocean is more abstract, the stars are cookie cutter). But the majority of this is awesome.

I agree on the text 'ruining' it if it was without the type, I think it'd be a winner.

Hi people.

I'm so sorry about our "offensive" joke.

For me it's funny that way.

This art is a collab . I did the pic, Paulo did the Type. So this one really need the type to be a comunitary job.

He tryied a lot of typings until we came to this one that looks like an old book cover.

The art resolution is not good on this flash template. please check out my flickr to see that in better resolution.

thankz everybody!

bahaha I don't know why I found that so funny



but yeh cool image, the text isn't so great but can be scrapped if they want to print it. the foghorn sound fx made me pmsl

I don't find the text offensive, its just not doing anything for the design and its not particularly funny.



Unless you think of something funnier to say and a more

unique integrated way of meshing the text and image I would

lose the text.



Besides that its a pretty sweet illustration and presentation.

excellent illustration, I can see why you went for the text, BUT if you had the text hidden somehow it would have been better.

i think this shirt would appeal to a large group of people..college kids etc..but without the text or different text, may appeal to a larger group

good work. very nice drawing.

this is one odd combination of literate and "high-school" humour.



The quote just seems to detract too much from the image, which is a shame considering the detail.

yeah, drop the moby dick text. resubmit with your work and tell your collab partner to suck your moby dick when you're printed.
