Wow.

I REALLY REALLY like this one. 5+$

A little bored with the whole empty face concept, but I couldn't help but smile once I looked at this.

Get rid of the horizon line though.

Ack, another thing I just noticed, I realize that the circular horizon is why the end streetlight looks how it does, but I really think it would look better without the line, and if you fix that, then the strretlight would need some editing as well.

Really great job.

i like this a lot

I seriously love this shirt on brown. 5$

nice very i hope it wins

Excellent.
I like the horizon line. If you did take it out, you'd probably want to play with the relative placement of the figures.

hahah! niice

Thanks, all! I didn't expect to see this many comments so soon. sauterelle is right: taking out the horizon line makes the allignment of the lamp posts and the walking figure look a little funny, but I take all suggestions seriously. If this ends up being a "so close and yet so far" image, I may resubmit a tweaked version.

this is awesome. i'm all jealousy. i like the colors on the shirt the best (as opposed to the ones off to the side), though that line does bug me a little bit. 5 & buy, and good luck!

cool~ keep up the good work

i really like it.

woo, with a winner like that , you obviously been around the block a few times! are you sure it's your first? alright baby, we can play that! who do I pay?

goodog: Well, this is my first threadless submission. My first drawings "ever" were... not so good.

This is amazing!

I'd like to see the design on a midnight blue. My first thought is that it looks off center but I realize this is because of the placement on the horizon line. Overall I'd say it is a naughty little design, absurd yet placid. It dances delicately across my taste buds and finishes off with a rich smoothness I have not come to expect from a first time submission. Bravo!

hehe, nice one

Like the red on yellow, more original than alot of the stuff i've seen here recently. I'm not sure on the horizon line. Overall, good job.

Very awesome. Nice job.

Okay, I'm very sorry to be leaving so many comments, but I really do LOVE this design. Play around with some more color scheme and the placement, this would be perfect on mint. I'd also like to see how this would look on the bottom corners.

i think the horizontal line ould make me look fat or maybe just make my beer belly look fat. But the color would bring out the kaki in my eyes while the white would bring out the white. Overal I 'd say I'd look great in this shirt if I hold my stomach in or take up running. So I say leave the horizon and promote good health.

I really like this shirt, but he should really be smoking a bubble pipe.

Ah! A bubble pipe! Great idea! I never had a bubble pipe as a kid. Must have been Mom's way of keeping the dangers of smoking away from my spongelike brain. It didn't occur to me.

Also, I wasn't aware there was a mint tee available. (It does look nice on the jade though)

i think it would be cooler if the dude was puffing a bubble pipe

a.) NO! ANYTHING BUT KHAKI. don't ruin this design with khaki.
b.) i would buy this because i recently went to NYC, and theres was this random guy at a street corner blowing bubbles in peoples faces, and the guy roated, like, ever so ofter- hah. haha. good times.
c.) i vote for it on light blue
d.) khaki. no.

I am a fan of simple elegant designs, and I love your concept, but it seems a little spare

Great!
I agree that the horizon line isn't needed.
Orange or light blue.

i like this design a lot, very original. i'd be surprised if it didn't win.

i fully like the idea of a bubble pipe. excellent!

this is really cool and I like the horizon line. I'd definitely buy it.

illustraTom, I believe Shimala said he updated the templates not too long ago. Check back with that if you've been using the 2003 template.

Once again, great design, I really hope this gets printed.

good bubble and good perspective

5$

blucow: Hmmm. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but the only template I can find (Photoshop, that is) is the summerfall2003 document.

5$ definetely.

illustraTom, it seems that they've only updated the Flash template so far. If you don't have Flash or know anyone with it, you could post about it on the blog forum, and I'm sure you could find someone willing to do the things you wanted if you give them the original artwork.

I've got Flash myself, but I'm pretty new to it. My older brother is a wiz, he's in college for graphic design, but it might take time some time, a few days tops. You can contact me about what you decide to do, my e-mails in my profile.

I would buy this on the yellow. I really like it but would maybe like to see the image smaller and positioned toward the bottom right hand corner of the shirt. Nice Design.

i love everything about it except the colors. i like the brown design, but not on orange or khaki. would love to see some other colors.

this is really cool. i think the problem with the line is that it intersects the man's waist. if it was moved up or down a little, it would look a lot better. very cool anyway. 5 $

this is really cool, I hope it wins! $5

i can never get that many bubbles out when i blow those damn things... i like the shirt though, i've been watching turner classic movies a lot lately with detectives.

Ooh i love it. a lot.

oh my god, 5 and buy!

very nice

a great folow up might be sherlok holmes figure smoking and bubles coming out

Awesome.
Definitely a must.

$5 I would kill a bum for this

nice, but put it on a different shirt color and get rid of the horizon line. :)

I want this shirt!!!! that is DAMN cool! Right on

I freaking love it. 5$! But I agree, the khaki looks bad. But you should keep the horizontal line I think.

Since I wasn't aware of the most current selection of tee colors, and since I wasn't aware of the great khaki aversion (heh heh), there's a version of the shirt on my website with a lower right placement and on the sagestone (or whatever it's called) tee.

Just another option for consideration...
