It's a little busy. Maybe fewer businessmen?

it might be less confusing if you put the buisnessmen on one side, and clash bassist, Paul Simonon on the other.

i made numerous amounts of the same business men to create less attention towards them and to make them seem more like just a pattern where you know everything will be the same. in the middle of this is where it should attract attention due to the break of the generic pattern of suits. the guy is rocking out, enjoying what he hears, with no fear in the world despite the fact that he is being engulfed by the status quo.



i guess the idea wasn't executed properly?



with that said, please feel free to tell me honestly what you think. hate it or love it... put it bluntly if you must.

I like the final overall layout. But now the only thing that bugs me is that even though there are essentially 2 different businuss men (1 holding breifcase in front, 1 in back) a third dude with the case going straight down would be great in the mix. Cuz right now you don't really notice that there's variation and it looks like the same dude, holding the breifcase in the same exact direction. If that makes any sense. And couldn't the highlights on the guitarists leg and back have been gray? Just to flow better.

I love the clash. I would definetely buy it, though I don't think anyone I know would understand it. Ignorant emo-loving kids that they are...

The guy with the upraised hands looks like Wayne from the Flaming Lips performing Live.

I really like this shirt. It's so wow I just really love it. I hope it gets printed.

I really like the concept, it just needs some refinement. Take the 6 guys in the lower half out, and make the other ones distinct. How about one guy on a cell phone? One with the brief case swinging forward? One with a frickin' iPod? None the less, good work.

I like it I think that the bussness men should have different poses but boring ones so the rocking one stands out

I love it so much. And I think all the "boring" businessmen make the ones in the background stand out in meaning.



Would buy it so hard.

Love the shirt...love the Clash...and I agree with robot in peril- the businessman with upraised arms does look like Wayne Coyne performing. Funny.

An homage to the Clash, I love it! I would definitely buy it if the businessmen were less distracting, like others have said.
