Satan looks like that old hag in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Kinda random, but eh. 3 ½, but i'll give you a 4.

I love the old wood cut or print illustration. Where did you find such a great treasure or did you draw it? Awesome either way!! I'd buy it!

This is beautiful. And it addresses one of my issues with Threadless in that there should be no real "house style". Diversity of design is what makes the whole site so cool, and this is completely different from anything out there.

I like that Jesus has the one up on him because of the wings.

I don't know where this came from originally, but this looks an awful lot like James Mathus's image at :

The cd says Jimbo drew it, but he may have also borrowed it. And if you don't know James Mathus's music, check it out, because he is awesome.

I love it because the style is more original than anything I've seen here so far. Really great.

Okay, I've changed by mind -- I hope the angel wins.



Then again, Satan is the Lord of Hell and the other guy is just an angel. So even if it's the Archangle Michael, he wouldn't stand a chance against his High Lord Lucifer.



Now if it's Jesus, that's a different story. But it doesn't look like Jesus as He's usually depicted. For instance, does Jesus have wings?!



And speaking of physical features, isn't Satan supposed to have cloven hooves? This guy has what looks like elongated feet.



Okay, I've changed my mind again. The design is too non-specific in its theology to accurately assess the identities of the two opponents. So I hope that neither entity wins, that instead they will try to see the world through each other's eyes and decide not to fight after all.

I'm "praying" that this gets printed so that I can wear it to my Jesuit university... it's so fun to be a heathen!

Neato. My only problem is that I thought the devil's left hand was on backward. Not that I'd put it past him. Cheater.

Do you people even care that this is a direct copy of someone else's art work?

do you think james mathus actually drew that? or do you think he found the same image somewhere else. i think that's more likely. good job on IMPROVING it jbarnes, wherever it came from.

Good vs. Evil - the theme of many, many books and films. Why not a tee-shirt? I love it, I'll probably buy it.

I wish I could say that I drew the illustration, but neither I or Jimbo (or whoever did James Mathus's cd art) did the original. It was originally a woodcut done in the early 1800s by a man named Thomas Bewick. I found that main illustration and some other elements, the head, the wings, in a book of public domain illustrations published by Dover called "1800 woodcuts by Thomas Bewick and his school" and composed the final piece for the shirt. If you get a chance you should find the book, it has thousands of fantastic images, all free for public use. Sorry Tammy for the confusion, but thanks for turning me onto James Mathus. I had no idea he was a fellow Mississippian. What a small world. But while we're plugging, you should listen to anything by Chris Whitley. simply fantastic.

I love the woodcut style and the idea is classic. I'm not sure that I like the drab green that it's printed on but otherwise I'd most definately want to buy it.

it'd be better if they had guns. or if the angel guy got out his Christian minions and they were all wrestling. or if the minions had guns, or if the devil had a halo and wings too. I dunno whatever.
