interesting take, i think it would personally look better with the upc numbers in that space at the bottom.. it just looks empty otherwise...

a one point i had considered a beleaguered crowd getting "wet" umbrellas and newspapers held up for protection - needless to saw, i didnt in the end go that way

i believed adding numbers pushed it perhaps too far in the direction toward bar code and made it less natural to view it at the same time as rain

but i certainly see your point

Lovely lovely lovey. All I would have done was left the cloud without an outline, it doesn't really need it on a dark shirt. Good stuff!

without the outline it would look kind of disconnected from the rain

maybe it would work to have the numbers stay consistent with the idea of rain drops and have them falling down the front, lower than where the bars stop. Just an idea.

I thought it was the top half of a beer mug until i read the comments, but i love it.

good idea!
adding the numbers would help.

maybe just make the middle bars go down as far as the side ones?

visually not dissimilar, admitadly, but conceptually quite different, i'd say

take the train, ditto

now, dont i feel like i'm defending myself

I'll admidt that i have, in the past seen Soctt's contribution and appreciate it
but i've probably not seen it since it was first up for crit a year and a half ago

if it infected me, then it infected me

however, when the design occored to me whilst sitting in my cubicle, i assure you i was'nt refering to his design
the similarity in the shapes of the tops of the clouds are purely coincidental - thats what happens when you make clouds out of circles

is there room for both of them?
that's not up to me

is there a good chance that some winter after noon I'm gonna stencil this on a shirt myself
yes

exquisite.

i know you aren't copying is style. the point is, threadless won't print another shirt that's so similar..and if they do, they have problems.
