About my design

by alexmdc   
5 colors on silver

Photos used within the wings are public domain photos, the monarchs wings remind me of negatives, and I wanted to do something showing natures own photography, I placed the camera below to show the connection between technology and nature.

Good illustration, but I feel the concept is quite tired, and the individual elements have appeared numerous times on Threadless tees before. Good luck though.

the illo itself is as always magnificent, but i feel this time, your idea/concept is not as good, it lacks this something that would makes a winner imo...

Shame on you, ripping off!t


he didnt do photos within the wings, I had sub mine before him but took it down and resubbed itto change a few things around, so mine would have up first, I dont think neither that person or I took the idea from each other

Mate, this is fully awesome. I love your stuff - you are truely one of the Threadless Top Ten Stars, but I particularly love it when you experiment with different techniques. With the frequency at which you submit your stuff, it's these ones that remind me that you're a supremely talented & artistic human, and not a robot.
