About my design

by Mr Rocks   
Taken (literally) from the brief! As usual, 4 colours and shirt colour coming through. If you'd like to see a larger version, check out my profile.



Later, and good luck to all.

I absolutely love this. Possibly more than Powered by Mezcal (Which reminds me of these collector card/stickers from my youth. You didn't happen to draw any of those in the mid 80s did you Rock?!? )



5$ as with all your work.



One question.. what's he drinking?

Carbonated prune juice.

Great illustration. Old people. Rocking. Good combination. I like the suggestions that MDepot made. Killer illustration/concept.

Jesus didn't you win the IFC contest yet? Great idea and great illustration. If the rest of the entries are half this good I'll be surprised. I'm not sure about the stars in the background, and there was a certain quality I liked about your IFC entry... the way you used less color to convey the idea.

It's funny and clever, and the art is good, but it's too cartoony for me to wear. I still give it a fiver, cause it doesn't get much funnier than a rascal scooter.

Blue Aya on Jul 05 '05
- piercings, faded tattoos and maybe even a flag for the scooter would just be icing on this tasty cake! Well done!

tattoos and earrings would overdo it. this is perfect.
Mr Rocks
   Mr Rocks on Jul 05 '05
Thanks for the feed back so far guys...



Thanks SAILONSILVERGIRL. I too think that it would get too busy and small in detail with those extras. As a 'published', full colour illustration, I could really go for it, but feel it has enough in it already.



I never really thought about what he could be drinking, it's more the fact he's singing into the straw as some kind of faux microphone. But prune juice is a brilliant suggestion.

Hello, color limitations!



But a really awesome design despite that :D

Hey Mr Rocks,



Just curious... did you draw this then scan it, streamline it, then colour it in Illustrator? Curious as to how you come up with this magnificent artwork? I've tried streamlining, but it always outlines funnily... frustrating!

Hey afishcalledsid, you know you're only allowed to use a max of 4 colours right?
snacktivity
snacktivity on Jul 07 '05
I don't see anything wrong with his four colors. I check and the white on the socks and the white on the skin are the same. it's just an illusion i guess.
taykay
taykay on Jul 07 '05
So they're spot colours right... but you can use tints of each spot?
taykay
taykay on Jul 07 '05

I like it a lot, but without the stars.

maybe you could have just one star around his hand.

How the hell did this only get 2.32? There has been a MAJOR increase in teenie boppers on this site and I think flipping brilliant designs that would appeal to everyone are suffering too much. They are voting down brilliant stuff like the design above because (1) they cannot relate to older people because they are just too cool and (2) if they can picture someone older than themselves in it it just isn't cool because only they know what cool is and only they can be cool. They forget that not everything they experience is absolutely brand spanking new!



Damn I'm getting old! But damn how silly little teenagers piss me off with their "I know all and I'm just too cool" attitudes!!!



I hope this wins and gets printed despite the cheeky buggers who voted this down.
EENIEMEENIE
EENIEMEENIE on Jul 27 '05
Agreeing with Strawbs.

This deserves much more than a 2.32.
bortwein
   bortwein on Jul 27 '05
I think there is a +1.00 level of error around this site lately. This could have scored a good 3.32 with that in factor.
