About my design

by charity.ryan
2010 is "hidden" in this design 6 different times. Think "military time" when you read the watch so it makes sense. :) For a larger view: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2755/4312089372_ed5fc77c40_b.jpg



But more importantly, SLEEVE ART should be the new trend! It displays the art of the tee even while wearing a sweater vest, or an apron, or a life jacket, or one of those plastic bibs at the Crab Shack. And those things are oh so trendy! It will also inspire new tee templates in the year ahead.



Notes about the design:

- dimensions were based on a Men's Large AA tee.

-it may be impossible to print

-Abracadabra!

Shoulder, back , neck and sleeve printing trends are all loudly supported by me, and you've done an amazing job with your sleeve piece! Since I'm never gonna have the balls to have a boss ass tattoo anywhere near the areas this design is printed, this will be my vicarious dream come true! Seriously well thought out details and a thousand different play on the theme, well illo'd and all around well done....what this contest is all about.

whoa this is fantastic! i love the "may be impossible to print" comment. haha I hope it isn't! All the little 2010 clues hidden throughout are awesome and it really would make a cool t-shirt. Everything about this was well done, i think i smell a print.

   jodabaum on Feb 03 '10
awesome idea!!! and it looks great!! 5$



it would be neat if you could make the design a bit translucent or something (mayb Xray?), so when viewing the tee it looks like your seeing through the sleeve (like that stuff is actually "up the sleeve") rather than the stuff being ON the sleeve...

either way the idea still gets across... and its great!

LOL, I love that reason. I'm cutting the sleeves off all my jackets as we speak in preparation for this.




That comment made my day. :)

And at the suggestion of Joey I now add ink exposed to radiation--for that modern and natural glow. :)

If Threadless fails to use your design as a print for a tee, they can all get jobs at Toyota as flunkly engineers!
