About my design

This illustration shows the consequences of LSD on the first real boy band ever. Poor guys.

The first Beatle near the bottom of the shirt, for some odd reason, reminds me of Bea Arthur.

I'm sorry peruvianjew, but i'm not tryin' to insult the music they made, i've got nothing against the beatles, but i came up with the idea when i saw a coloring book for young girls back in the '60's with all sorts of beatles drawings, including 'john making diner', 'george fishing' and other hilarious stuff. Now that's sacriligious. I decided to spoof it with this illustration. Thx for all the great comments so far!

I love the Beatles too much and too long to ever consider wearing this. However, I can picture them dressing up in drag as a prank but that would have been then and this is now.

I always thought George looked like a woman on the cover of Revolver. Dunno if I'd wear it, but it's definitely well done.

very nice.



i'm worried about how the design which has three straight cut-off lines would look on a full t-shirt.



the two lines used to frame the design here (left side and bottom thread) don't really exist in the physical space.



funny, crisp, smart, and looks fantastic, but that's my concern.

if by "first real boy band" you mean first real rock band, im sorry but i do not believe that thisis a good shirt, especially when you consider the influence that the beatles have put on all music of the modern day. i believe it is disrespectful, but that is just my oppinion, i personally love the beatles, but i imagine if you did not this would be a nice shirt. and yes i would punch someone in the face if i saw them wearing this shirt, either that or call them a douche.

hatexspinnerbait
hatexspinnerbait on Aug 26 '05
um. i dont think you made this.

i saw this on a website for a coloring book. in fact, i printed it out and colored it myself, so i could always scan it as proof. unless you drew THAT.
Johnass
   Johnass on Aug 26 '05
hatexspinnerbalt, i allready said it was a spoof on a coloring book of the beatles, i manipulated the illustration, vectorised it and added the make-up, ribbons and earrings, that was my concept, that was the way i colored the beatles, by adding the drag queen elements, it became funny. I don't know what your point is, of course this is a very old illustration of the beatles, which i manipulated to a t-shirtdesign, it's been done before and it will be done in the future. Vectorising and changing the drawing to a t-shirt design took me hours and hours , so i take credit for that.

"should have MORE people but i like it "



Why?

Oh, right, I forgot. The Beatles had sixteen people. Johnass, add the other twelve and you're gold.



Just kidding. I like this. I'm pretty sure I hurt my side laughing about it. Whoever said that the elbow needs to be included--I agree with them.
