About my design
by grayehound   
This was originally to be my submission to the Eisley contest, but it was only half done at the deadline. I finished it and thought I might as well submit it to the general contest.

I do have to note my original idea started from an illustration by one of my favorite illustrators, Rafal Oblinksi. The image is from <a href=\"http://www.poster.com.pl/olbinski/arts-club.jpg\">a poster for the National Arts Club</a> a few years ago. A quick nod to shimala for okaying my using his pic in the submission, too.

Manos
   Manos on Aug 15 '05
I can clearly see that you spend so much time on this. It is such a great illustration.

_ So much detail to feast your eyes on.
_Smart. Floorboards become part of the dress', the wallpaper becomes the pattern of her tee and all that making out her shape in the middle of the circle.
_Very good use of colors and I so much like brown.
_emotional but not too much - almost nostalgic.

Shame that you didn't make the deadline you would probably got easily one of the 3 places.

Well done grayehound keep it up.

Inspired design! As others have said, it really demands that you take the time to appreciate it. Amazing use of so few colours too, I had to keep on checking because I couldn't believe that there weren't too many shades.

So great. This is probably the best shirt I've seen yet. I am fairly new to Threadless and I think that this shirt will be my first buy. If I buy it before it sells out. Please don't sell out. PLEASE. I need this shirt. Want it. Gotta have it. Peace.

I really love the framing effect around the illustration...it's comic art meets trendy village meets blockcut. Good color choice too. I might lose the window in the girl's chest though. There's so much going on , perhaps less is more?

Yeah, I hope your right, it seems to be getting all positive feedback thus far. Maybe this will break the elusive 4.0 mark. I just hope they don't print this too soon since I'm going on vacation for a couple weeks tomorrow and don't want it sold out before I get back.
