Most Probably Very Dangerous
About the design
on January 27, 2010
This design is my second submission to this competition and a continuation of the theme from my first. Here is what I proposed:
What I had in mind for a trend for Threadless was a reimagining of old images in the public domain. There is a wealth of fascinating, obscure and downright awesome images from days long gone that would make sweet tee designs and I think it’s something that everyone can do. It doesn’t require any special equipment or skill – just the ability to identify the potential in images that exist in the public domain and be creative with them.
Far from ripping-off the original works, I feel it's a way of paying homage to these works and their artists. The way I see it; if people are reusing and getting inspired from my work in 100 years, I would have done something right.
Thanks!

When I first joined threadless an artist was getting slammed (wrongfully I thought) for working in the style of Mucha. So I'm on the fence about these, it looks great cause it's an old engraving (love the stuff myself) and not your drawing in the style of. The dadaists and surrealists did this kind of stuff so I guess it's all right (though as someone noted on your other appropriation, Threadless could do this in house without paying outside artists for it).
I'd actually like to wear such shirts, there is a lot of cool stuff from the old days! 4

"Threadless could do this in house without paying outside artists for it"
a lot of very talented people work at threadless. If they wanted they could design all of the shirts in house, but that's not really the point of the site now is it?

I love this kind of shirt. Also think Threadless needs more shirts with texts (not necessarily slogans).
