Design is too big...why not try and make the balloons themselves into skull and crossbones?

Those balloons are regular balloon shaped. They just have something printed on them.

I can see a lot of them young "punksters" wearing this shirt with their studded belts and Chucks.
(That's a BAD thing.)

The graphic is well done, but not too clever and way too "punk," so you get a 2 from me.

This isn't punk at all, but I think it could easily be made with stencils so therefore, low score from me.

Too easily made into a stencil? Whatever. Such a whiner. And half of the stuff produced on this site is urban outfitters+hot topic, usually just a little smarter...

I love pirates. I love (and fear) balloons. I am a little girl. buy+5

THE PIRATE SAYS "AYE! IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!"

4$ I love this design. It kinda reminds me of some of Banksy's stuff (www.banksy.co.uk), and I worship his art. Great stuff.

by reading the screen names of the people with 5+ ratings, it is clear you've met your target market. good work!

the shirt isn't for me, but it's well done. 4.

i laughed at this comment, and it's worth reposting: "ah the crazy world where hot topic and urban outfitters meet."

*sticks face in a blender at the instruction of vampireswillneverhurtyou*

I thought exactly what alwaysagree said: "Ah, the crazy world where Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters meet", which is why I don't like it. Not too original.

But it's a good design. So you get a four from me. :-)
stuck with pins
   stuck with pins on Jun 17 '05
i'm not going to try and defend this design. but i seriously had no idea what urban outfitters was and i went to their website. so i'm confused on how this is even remotely like it.
oh and about the comments on how it's not too original. have you ever seen a design on threadless that looked like this? i don't understand why this isn't original when all the designs with guys in suits, robots, and what not are original. hm... just my thoughts.

heart shaped ballons.
kingshit
kingshit on Jun 18 '05
heart shaped balloons? why? that, I think, would defeat the message. i love the one with the gurl swinging from the tree doubleing as a gallows. when are they going to print it?
kingshit
kingshit on Jun 18 '05
Stuck with pins--resubmit killing tree please please please. Don't be disuaded by the ignorance of those who would ctitisize your work...

   stuck with pins on Jun 18 '05
kingshit, i seriously love you. you are honestly my favorite person on threadless. every time i get a comment from you i'm like, "Yes!"
but yeah, like i said before, the killing tree IS going to be printed. it's taking so long because my files weren't what they wanted. so it's still in the works. be patient. haha.

vampireswillneverhurtyou on Jun 19 '05
are they going to have this one win too!?!? i can't wait.
i love all your designs. this better get printed.

and once again. go but you face in a blender if you disagree.
Miss Olivia
Miss Olivia on Jun 19 '05
Oh my gosh. This is definetly the best design i have seen so far. I love your
designs. The killing Tree was awesome, but this, this is a masterpiece. I would
defenitely spend money on this.

everyting vampires said is exactly right, "Go put your face in a blender if you
disagree."

...why do skull and crossbones automatically make everyone think pirates? reminds me of poison, death, and goths too. i thought the juxtaposition between that and the little pinkheart girl was more the message of the design, am i wrong?

it's well done , but did you mean to have such a nonapplicable title?
stuck with pins
   stuck with pins on Jun 21 '05
yes. thank you. finally some one made sense of it instead of just "wow, balloons with skulls." it was supposed to have more of a symbolsm of death in contrast to love. or also i had thought that it could also have a message that today, children's lives seem to float on death and loss now.
i don't know. take it how you will. but i'm glad someone got more out of it than just "pirate balloons."
and yes, the title almost does not apply to the design at all. and i knew this when i made it. hopefully to have people look at the design a little more and wonder why i called it that.

for the record, i loved the killing tree. the only problem i have with this is that the balloon strings are being held together by a heart. and then there's a heart on her dress. it's just a little too much.

but thats just me.
