Ok, I've blogged about this design last week so here you have it. By the way, this is NOT a political statement.

secretly robots on Aug 30 '05

i really really really like this. but not on yellow.

loglow on Aug 30 '05

Whether you say it is or it isn't, it is.

I like it.

never on Aug 30 '05

I like this, but I think it needs to be smaller all together. And definitely make the clouds smaller. they distract from the cool sketch.

abigaildarling on Aug 30 '05

yes yes yes yes blue $5 so awesome

daili on Aug 30 '05

It would be amusing if the clouds were like, hung on strings, to go with the carboard-cut-out-set sort of design.

howlynart on Aug 30 '05

Is it supposed to be floating? If it's supposed to be on the ground, or a surface, how about some shadows or some hatching there where it meets the ground. But floating is cool, too. Sort of unsettling.

white_unfolding on Aug 30 '05

on blue! not yellow. i really like the style 5$

cement_shoes on Aug 30 '05

Hah... it amuses me that people still insist upon it being a political statement even when you insist that it's not and don't present it that way... Generally I like the design, and the colors all work for me. But it would be cool if you could somehow draw in an actor of the president and the movie cameras filming him in front of the set. Then this would be really awesome!

helo on Aug 30 '05

great idea, cement shoes!

The_Suit on Aug 30 '05

Maybe if you made the clouds look realistic? I think it would be a great contrast if you had the flat, cartoonish image with real clouds in the background. Either way, 5$. Nice idea, good execution.

marla singer on Aug 30 '05

i love it! it made me laugh for about 20 minutes!!!! even tough its not ment to be a political statement... i see it that way!!!!

print it!!! print it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sense1ess1eader on Aug 31 '05

It's good. I'm not sure about the color though. And I like the clouds strings idea that daili proposed.

deliciousmalicious on Aug 31 '05

Love it, would buy it in a heartbeat. $5

themidtownkoala on Aug 31 '05

Oh please. No cloud strings, they are fine the size they are, no adding stuff. This is perfect the way it is.

Kamikazetornadoninja on Aug 31 '05

I say no clouds, and i take it completey politically. 4

heyletsdance on Aug 31 '05

I love it, and it's definitely political :] but still awesome.
$5

ManNun on Aug 31 '05

The clouds are super distracting on yellow, not so much on blue. Maybe size them down or instead of a white fill perhaps a white outline done in your cool sketchy style. I also like the idea of "cloud strings'. Some small suggestions, otherwise really cool...

Sonata on Aug 31 '05

I'd buy this because I fucking love it. And it would be a political statement if I wear it =P Good job!

njones on Aug 31 '05

thats really rad
i'd deffinitely purchase
i'd purchase it even happier though, if the bushes or house had some color too, it looks al ittle off with the outlined house/bushes, and only the clouds filled in

njones on Aug 31 '05

also, it looks really nice on that ashy blue color that 's the background of the left side

EdenM on Sep 02 '05

matthijs, why do you want us to know that you're not tyring to make a political statement? As a political statement, it's smart and true.

I really like it.

blue

Hungry4muffinz on Sep 02 '05

I LOVE THIS SHIRT.... ITS MY FAVORITE THAT IVE SEEN SO FAR TODAY OF ALL THE ENTRIES! deffinately go with the blue. only suggestion? the clouds are off, change tham a little. i like the style.

criesofhate on Sep 02 '05

Awesome. 5+$

h4xnoodle on Sep 02 '05

cute

moshimoshi on Sep 02 '05

I would leave the clouds as outlines of same color. White is distracting from main drawing. $5 for a political statement.

beerbaron on Sep 02 '05

i agree with the moshpit guy. leave the clouds as outlines but askew them to match the line of the building and bush and have them hanging by wires or on long poles. personally, i prefer wires. overall, very nice. and i like the message: at some point we all grow up. 5

smallvillager on Sep 02 '05

sweet...it almost seems like the white house..is JUST A "SET UP"...no real building there..just something pretty to look at..I LOVE IT!!! A FEW MINOR TWEEKS..BUT OVERALL i'd buy it! $5

336 on Sep 02 '05

5 & Buy - because people will stop me on the street and scream at me for my political shirt.

Zachsta on Sep 02 '05

Would sell well

twisted_crayon on Sep 03 '05

id totally buy this

not yellow though.. the blue is awesome

<3333!! 5$

owen skyser-gray on Sep 03 '05

i like it. and on the color subject.... on there the yellow looks not so great but i think that may be a product of the dark blue background behind it. in any case, good shirt that i would buy slash wear.

Little Lolo on Sep 03 '05

It is totally political - "house of cards" type of idea....love it love it love it!

xPigeonx on Sep 03 '05

If I saw the shirt on the street I would be really confused.. I had to look at it for a while but thats just me

markjaquith on Sep 03 '05

Maybe he doesn't want it to be a political statement because as a political statement, it only has a shelf life of 3.5 years.

The_Suit on Sep 04 '05

Another suggestion, maybe print "LIBRARY" or "SCHOOL" across the top crossbar of the building in scribbly letters or something to match the theme, since too many of these people are reading this politically.
