illustration is MUCH better. i just wish the tv is upright. as i said before, "if you want to convey that the media is controlling (or as you said, 'influential') then the tv should be in a more powerful, upright position, rather than on its side. how often do you see a tv that way unless it is broken?"

but yeah, the tv looks nicer since it isn't so blocky.

woe unto us! another TV image....boo hoo hoo. I'm soooooo sick of seeing TV images on shirts...booohoo hoooooo. AND it's too big!

just thought I'd get that out before anyone else. sarcasm is sweeter this early in the morning.

Nice drawing, interesting idea. Prolly just me, but it seems the screen is underutilized. Oh, and it is a bit big.

This is kind of creepy.
And I'm sick of anti-TV designs.
TV is only evil if you let it be.
Intelligent people don't let it be.

Sorry, chimbly, I wanted to mock the crybabies before they got their comments up. Getting it in first is so more fun.

I have no problem with TVs on shirts, just bad ideas. Which this isn't.

oh i dont care, no hard feelings, i know lots of people are going to be idiots about it (see: amlingisrad) but again, its a design i previously submitted and wanted to hopefully improve on it.

did anyone else think the hands from the tv were playing cat's cradle?

pink eye, they are.

more importantly, it's doing some constructive instead of watching tv.
chimbleysweep
chimbleysweep on Apr 08 '05
yeah thats what its supposed to be, pink eye, i just didnt want to get too technical with the cats cradle formations because it would look messy.

I didn't see it was a tv at first, but the shape in itself is interesting enough for me to like it!

Fair go, chimbleysweep. amlingisrad was just voicing her opinion, no need to go calling her an idiot.

You can't criticise other people's work without expecting the same in return.

Fracking weird. It looks like it'd be grabbing a tit or something. Where do the hands come from and why are they playing that kiddy game?

wow. shut up.

i think if the TV was knitting i'd want like, 1000 of them...

it would be a "get up and do something productive" rather than a played out "kill you TV"-type message

Although I realize your art is much too deep for a simpleton like myself to fully comprehend it's majesty, do you think you could at least take a crack at explaining what the hell this is supposed to be, and why anyone would wear it on a T-shirt? Like I said, I'm sure that it's my own fault for being small-minded and has nothing to do with this image being total garbage.

The only explanation I've heard so far is "shut up, you don't get it" and that just doesn't do it for me.

I also like to say things when I know that practically no one else will see them. Humor!!!

I dont think this couldn't have been done with the tv standing
The arms and cat's cradle wouldn't have worked quite as well…

good design.
