Atlas held up the sky.

Lose the figleaf.



(I'm not just being crude, it's a mediaeval piece of conservatism)

THis is excellent. Love it and would buy one for me and 3 other people. Makes you think and the art is high qualtity. Really hope it prints!

Unfortuntely Little_Hobbit_Feet (great name by the way) is right, Atlas held up the sky... but how many people know that? Its really well designed, it would be a shame if it went to waste.



Videovexa... how does it make you think, exactly?

little_hobbit_feet is sort of correct but according to classical mythology, "Atlas was a Titan famous for his strength. After the defeat of the Titans by Zeus, Atlas was condemned to support the Earth and sky on his shoulders for eternity" but I think in this case it's open to artistic interpretation. This design is so clever its excellent, I would definately buy one... and I think the fig leaf is funny because its a mediaeval piece of conservatism $5

Keep the figleaf. Fewer people would wear it if it featured classical willie.

ok, since no one has gotten this yet, get ready: atlas is taking a break from holding up the earth, DUH.

right, he held up the sky, but that's not what manlooon is trying to depict. i really like this design and hope it gets printed.

I love it... but I suggest changing to black and white only. The fig leaf is too distracting and I think your drawing is very strong on its own.



I'll give it a $5 anyway, but I'd really like B&W version

good job. I like the idea and overall presentation. The message "Atlas takes a break" successfully projected out from the design.

Well done.

Atlas held up the world, too... perhaps it was the sky in the original myth, but the idea of Atlas holding a globe is well-known enough.



I'm just not sure everyone would know offhand that this is Atlas, and not some random guy leaning on the Earth. He's not exactly an immediately recognized face, you know?
