Hey there all. I had to have a go at this one, and was almost tempted to redraw my 'RARE' submission, but got inspired...
Again, four colours from me (white, blue, dark blue, and red), and the half tone blue is the blue of the shirt coming through.

If you want to see a higher res version of this, check out my profile. Good luck to all again, and please leave me some comments. Later..

Arsenik on May 30 '05

good work Mr Rocks, another top quality design from what I would imagine is a top quality bloke.

Duffdaddy on May 30 '05

ooooh, that's gruesome! but I like it. One day Mr. Rocks, one day ;-)

eskimokiss on May 30 '05

I'm glad you've started submitting again :)

prianka on May 30 '05

Not only is this a great design, it's perfect for the competition. He's dressed right, I love the blood stain, the open briefcase with the envelope, the cigarette, everything.

mr.brown on May 30 '05

I think the image opens the opportunity to tell a story. You could have a wild time making up stories that the symbolism respresents!

trickno on May 31 '05

that's dope.

Kristina on May 31 '05

That is such a good idea.

Saffa on May 31 '05

That's sick! Another piece of quality.
Rock on Mr Rocks.

KEMMLER on May 31 '05

lose the text, ok? otherwise very good

Kallen on Jun 01 '05

if the briefcase were an empty pizza box, that would sell me

eskimokiss on Jun 01 '05

Kemmler, IFC has to be included. It's part of the brief

nikitheninja on Jun 01 '05

I luff it. 5 and a buy.

cappy on Jun 01 '05

Wonderful. Thats all I can say.

grayehound on Jun 01 '05

If ya gotta do blood and guns, doin in style makes it work so well. You make the Tarantino in me smile. The only question I've got is where are his legs?

Nicely done, nonetheless. Easily one of the best IFC shirts yet.

Mr Rocks on Jun 01 '05

He's on his kness. I thought that would be obvious? Hmmmm...
Thanks for the positive comment too Grayehound.

grayehound on Jun 01 '05

p.s. i wasn't gonna comment or rate FCC submissions 'cause i don't know what it is and i wouldn't wear something i don't much care about, like the Maxim Hot 100 shirts, but this i would wear in a heartbeat.

Great work!

awu on Jun 03 '05

The Domo on Jun 07 '05

Well sir, I'd have to say I think you've succeeded at last in pouring all of that talent of yours into a graphic suitable for a t-shirt. Congrats. Hopefully Threadless will agree.

Scooter Boy on Jun 07 '05

Seriously, I have no idea how this didn't do better. This is better than the majority of the submissions, mine included. I hope you win Rocks, good luck.
