if that's not a song it should be.

i like the title so much that i kinda think it should be there somewhere...maybe on the back or something.

i think it's hard to see that they're interchangeable hands without the title.

ya. i debated whether or not to have the title on there (it's in the original sketch) but didn't want to detract from the design of it. the back is a good idea tho.

I don't like the placement. Maybe up further?

I wish the drawing was cleaner. And the text on this would be nice, maybe under the hands. And then move the whole thing up a little and you got it.

Yeah, maybe moving it slightly up would be nicer. Still, a great job! I really like the idea, and the words would work well on the back. I'd buy it.

Move the design up and write the title on the back. Designs placed there just look awkward.



But, I /need/ this shirt. Seriously. 5+$

well, since I am a "gal" you probably wouldn't be able to see it, so please move up the design a bit

Nifty.

the feedback has been delicious. i had originally planned to have it higher, but in the spur of the moment liked the "charlie brown stripe" type shape the image made at that position. i've worked up a version w/ a somewhat smaller image higher up, with two gray lines of text (the slogan) underneath. it looks dead sexy.



this is my first submission, so i'm not sure of the proper protocol... i guess just submit the new version as a separate thing?

If you had" Da Vinci of prosthetics" on the back or underneath in small letters (like it was underlining it), it would make it awesome-er

Uh that title is lovely. And I like the messy style of the hands. Good for you. Add the title, move it up, and I'll love you.

move it up, but don't put the title on the front. i think it would detract, as you feared. maybe on the back or the bottom.

5 otherwise.

move it on up! i totally love it. i'm a robot/disney/peter pan/edward scissor hands fan and so this totally strikes my cord. i would love to know what the inspiration was for this design??? 5$...xoxo...coalbee

"what the inspiration was for this design"



i draw a robot character who has spoons for hands; he's often billed as the most useless robot ever created. i wanted to do a shirt that somehow spun off of him but was more design-based... i started thinking about the type of strange old man that would build a robot w/ spoon for hands and thought maybe he originally designed it to have interchangeable hands (which were lost in a tragic fire?)... from there i just started sketching out as many weird hands as i could think of. these are the ones that worked best for this concept.

great drawing + design, but a terrible placement. It needs to be higher.

I'd like it with the graphic moved a little bit upward.

The art could use some sharpening.

Some of those things don't 'click' when it comes to being used as hands.

Maybe if you had a robot with all those hands in a Bhudda-esque pose, it would then be more recognizable.

if you're gonna have the title be on the shirt, make the style of the letters match the design.

gradefhandprint on Jul 12 '05
also if you move the design up, have the regular hand centered so it doesn't look like it's holding anything.

move the design up and add the title, and I'd buy it for sure
