About the design

Submitted by OriginalVigil on October 19, 2010

For LOVES 101010: This is my first Threadless submission and I wanted to be bold. It might have been a better idea to submit small, feeling things out with a few weeks of critique and then doing a general submission. But, I felt that in the wake of the recent call for Liberty and Justice to be heard in those cases of bullying and intolerance, this design might find an audience, even if the design may not be a clever tongue-in-cheek, visual play on words, as are so many of my favorite Threadless threads.

I can find only one example of this national issue being addressed in Threadless T-shirt fashion: http://www.threadless.com/product/896/Gay_Pride/tab,guys
I absolutely love Nicholas Bright’s design and hope that my submission makes the grade as sort of a companion piece—the American Icon, lionesses of the Pride.

Straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, questioning, king, queen, transvestite, transgender, transsex, intersex—
We all deserve Justice, Liberty, and Equality.

I’m sort of at a loss for print methods. I have no idea if any of the fancy stuff will work with a 4-color separation, which is fine. I’m not sure what ink will work the best. We only had one option when I did the original screen print of this by hand… so I guess I will leave the inking decisions to the experts. Also: The sparse use of black is intentional. And the misregistration is intentional (although in my original process, I tried to avoid it, my favorites in the edition were the ones slightly misregistered).

Well, it's no kitty shotting laser beams out of its eyes, but it is original and I'm proud. Thank you for the compliments!

This is pretty amazing, conceptually speaking. Nice work.

Thanks! It started out as photos I took of models, which I manipulated in photoshop, which I did a watercolor of, which I scanned in and turned into a 4-color separation and then did a real screen print. I wish I was adept at Illustrator so I could've made this with a little more vector panache. Maybe next time.
