About the design

Submitted by Mr Rocks on July 5, 2005

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.

Actually sorry guys and gals. The image at my profile is exactly the same size as this one above, but still feel free to pop on over there for a gander & comment.

chico100

self portraiture is so in right now. love your work

eskimokiss

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?

Tofu_Rok

This is something like l submitted already but hasn't been on Threadless.

kidaro

Pretty good. I wouldnt wear it, but still. Nice colours.

1 design submitted - Score now!

I like it, and the Stars make it even more fun. Great job.

MDepot

you know the illustration is great as always...but one thing bothers me...there just aren't enough rocker items on the guy. Perhaps instead of wristbands you would show spiked bands...maybe an earring...or tatoos...I dunno he kind of looks more athletic than a rocker.
And is he drinking milk? Maybe make it a beer...Anyway overall great job. But as is I would not buy it.

SRT10

haha yeah its already sweet....maybe add some tatoos or an earing like Mdepot says

Xrissy

give him some faded blue tattoos ;)

mooseswamp

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

Evilpinkie

Awesome style. I would buy this for one of my aging parents. :)

MrDomino

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.

got borked

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
  • piercings, faded tattoos and maybe even a flag for the scooter would just be icing on this tasty cake! Well done!
franx

you've done it again...5! and i'd be very surprised if you didn't win the IFC thing.

eliptus

Nice Wheels...

Skipper6745

lose the stars and its awesome.

sailonsilvergirl

tattoos and earrings would overdo it. this is perfect.

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.

__killthelights

Take off the star bg. And it's awesome!

Robsoul

very cool, reminiscent of something I've seen before, hmmm.....

glad to see another submission from you hope to see some more considering there are three freakin contests running right now.

Shark_biscuit

The stars are sweet, your style is the bomb

Tofu_Rok

Thanks Mr Rocks for the nice comments on my submission, l given you a 5 but thats because this is hot $$$.

morbidboy

fuck'n cool but I wouldn't wear it

SCHOSR_I

that's what i'm gonna be like when i'm old and moldy....except a chick.

Mythsnlore

The second 5 score I've ever awarded. Well done indeed sir!

Dangerblade

That would be awesome!...just not in brown.

Zusie

get rid of the stars

afishcalledsid

Hello, color limitations!

But a really awesome design despite that :D

taykay

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

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

So they're spot colours right... but you can use tints of each spot?

taykay

Ahhh and he's a kiwi aswell! Didn't think there'd be many of us on here

taykay... go over to my profile to get the feedback and post questions. Ta...

Factory

Loose the stars and i definitely buy it. Gorgeous.

mjacob

The stars are distracting, but the illustration is wonderful!

hoorah

I like it a lot, but without the stars.
maybe you could have just one star around his hand.

gerpander

Good fat lines, love it. That's me in 2040!

ugotserved

such a funny shirt. awesome. 5 id so buy it.

Strawbs

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

Agreeing with Strawbs.
This deserves much more than a 2.32.
