About my design

Click here for the High res!!!!

"V-J Day in Times Square is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays an American sailor kissing a young woman in a white dress on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945...Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the celebrations he didn't have an opportunity to get the names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either person involved in this embrace and several people have claimed to be the subjects."

This piece was inspired by such a spontaneous display of the human spirit; in a time of much needed morale. Conveniently, I finished this piece around the time of Remembrance day.

what program do you use? You can tell I'm not an artist. Just like the site.

I painted this on paper, scanned it, and inked it on illustrator first, didn't like it much, so finished the job (inking) on photoshop.

zombie themes never get old and to play off the original WW2 photo is clever indeed. Have you seen the new Red Dead Redemption with zombies. Vintage zombie action. I got my own play on a WW2 bomber Drop Beats

@Skap 1er: Yeah man, I really don't know anymore. I came up with this idea and thought of threadless all the way. I was surprised there wasn't something like this on threadless before and i thought this would have been a home run too.

Hmmm I guess it was worthy of a print, just with a new artist. Threadless, please set this right.

lol this is so weird how 2 design with same title and same view but execute by different artist can be printed one of them and the sad thing is the first artis with first concept is not be printed but the second artist with similar concept can be print this is tragic for you RedRobotMonkey ...
