For The Used loves Threadless contest.

Inspired by the lyrics-

This lust to my brain almost feels like a gun.

Holy shit, that's sick...

Lust is far from love though. And hearts are far too played out. If you could find some way to portray lust in the blood splatter, this would be mucho good.

My mom would kill me if I ever bought this.

rinzii on Jul 05 '05
I wouldn't buy or wear it.
it screams *emo* to me.
it's the used, tho, so it's supposed to scream emo.
and suicide freaks me out.
----------------------------------------
but also, it's pretty damn cool looking, as a graphic.
i love his legs on the white shirt,
and the black shirt is so mysterious. it's great. really!
5!

Intense. I don't know if I'd wear it though. Great design, but a little morbid for a t-shirt.

AWESOME> I would never wear it, but I think you have really captured something. It is nice to "get it" at a glance without having to figure it out. Unlike many others, you do not look like you are trying too hard to convey a concept through an illustration. You just hit it. Excellent work. 5 all the way.

I would definitely wear it, I love it to death. But while the black one is really cool, it's really hard to make out what's going on. Maybe a dark grey or something?
Dark Visions
Dark Visions on Jul 05 '05
I want! I loved the Used, and this shirt really brings the lyrics to life. I love its sickness and would wear it proudly as people stare at me! $5!

Although I don't listen to The Used, this is a wicked sweet shirt. Dunno if I'd buy it. My mom would probably get mad...

I really like the black one!

I really like this a lot. I'm just so sick of hearts. But there's not really much you can do when you're being inspired by "In LOVE and Death."

Anyways, I feel like this is a the appropriate design to state my opinion on Bert McCracken and "In Love and Death." He's going to die, just like his love Kate. Because, every single time I see him, he is so wasted. She died from drug abuse and he's going to die from alcohal abuse. The sad truth. And he's going to cause a huge amount of suicides in the US because he isn't aware of how many kids look up to him. So when he dies, so does his fans.
I'm done now.
Good design. 5

I wouldn't wear it, but I'd frame it and put it up on my wall.
clegg
clegg on Jul 06 '05
I ike it but I agree, get it to be more of a lust symbol w/ the blood splatter.
Parodyguy
Parodyguy on Jul 06 '05
I would never ever ever wear it, but I like it.

The spray could use some sharpening (it is way too fuzzy, especially on white). This shirt looks far better on black, but to be able to tell what it is, some highlights are necessary. A muzzle flash could provide these, for sure.
makruege
makruege on Jul 06 '05
I commented before, but ElCorridor has a great point. Oh, and black doesn't do the image justice. I totally disagree with Parodyguy in that The lack of sharpness makes it brilliant, but I love his idea of the muzzle flash.

Whatever... I still give you an enthusiastic 5

OH!!! how about the head beeing cocked back... Now THAT would be SICK
cesverites
cesverites on Jul 06 '05
sick of suicide=romance.

i can see youth finding this super roxin, but i guess i'm pretty bored with this concept.

i'd give it a 5 if i were a little less old, though. :)

sistervigilante on Jul 06 '05
I really like what was done with this, but as stated many times before, it's an overdone product.
But it's for a band that sort of wears these sort of images on their sleeves, and I really like the work again...
Good luck with that.

KatieTheMofo on Jul 06 '05
Thanks for all of the comments guys!
I've redone it without the heart, I think people might like it more. I'll submit it after this one is done with it's 7 days.

hmm i quite liked it with the heart, i really like this design, still deciding if i would where this in public cause i dont like to promote suicide but i still really like the design.
crispe
crispe on Jul 06 '05
i really dig it. morbid as all hell, but nice nonetheless, really like the idea. but i think there needs to be some work done on the figure, the gun perhaps.

Yay Katie!
I voted $5, of course, and like everyone else, my mother would kill me if I ever wore this shirt. But I love it.

Best on white, awesome design, very fitting for The Used.
Tinsel_Shine
Tinsel_Shine on Jul 08 '05
Gah. I love the design, but the white isn't suble enough for a shirt. I'd put a poster of the white version on my wall, yes, but I wouldn't wear it. The black one kicks arse, but it could end up too hard to make out (depending on how it looked printed), so I'd prefer it with highlights or something, not enough to rub what's happening in your face, but enough that it only takes a few seconds to work out (not sure if it's even possible to get that balance, but it'd be cool if you did). I rate it 5!

i love the white shirt, makes you see the person better.. or if it's on a black shirt change the color of the person to maybe a dark blue shade, great shirt

very very nice =) as you can tell by all the other wicked comments
nothingiscute
nothingiscute on Jul 11 '05
if the figure and gun are going to be that central to the idea, they could stand a little less of that "just spit out of streamline with any old setting" look.

i like the heart spray.
