About the design

Submitted by ni.m. on September 14, 2005

This graphic was inspired by a cartoon i saw in an old paper in my grandfather's house by a guy named "bovarini". I couldnt find anything else about the guy or the original cartoon, i think it was in like the 60's.



This shirt took me a long time. Its hard to express in a small little gif, below are some image details. The image is entirely vectorized, also detailed below.

wow

brotherman

that's the best anti-war shirt i've seen - anywhere

cambert

Incredible. I would buy this instantly, and then I'd buy some more.

Krisbarz

loved the style! Love the design!
I adore when a shirt has a very perfeccionist pic
$5

Maya_Girl

Amazing! smart concept ...exceptional execution.

$$$$5.

monsterfingers

I love the concept. Definate buy for me. 5.

sarah127

this is a fantastic design...please print it!!!

grayehound

Conceptually one of the strongest things on the site. It almost cries out for one more color to really make it pop, but very, very nice illustration.

amandine

Wow- very nice. Hope all the detail comes out well if it gets printed, I would definitely buy it.

Kashi

The shirt colour doesn't really do anything for me, but I love the illustration

DR DIGGLESWORTH

Shit me that must have taken a fookin' dog's age to do - well worth it though. Very nice design.

FJackie

That is F***ING GREAT!

los lobos

great, but seems a little sloppy

causticexe

A. Maz. Ing. Holy crap.

Cattrin

Amazing anti-war message! I'm plaing to blog this design in ym next update ;) if only it came in another color. Nevertheless, 5 and buy.

howlynart

los lobos: sloppy? death is sloppy. This shirt is awesome.

helo

to ni.m :

Is this design a statement against all wars
or against those individuals who use war
to gain recognition ? Or both ?

The Cheesy Weasel

nice illustration and concept but not sure bout the layout..

muhusky

you liberal, but i still like the shirt

emprise

kut

wow $5

MoniqueH

Ohhh, thank xiv, I got to see this.

Sla/sh

great. 5$

walknbox

is it stain proof? if i get my hands on it i'm going to jizz all over it because it's so damn sexy

janellio

This is the best anti-war, political statement shirt I've seen. It makes it statement but it doesn't hit you over the head. Amazing.

vanni

this shirt is perfect...clever but not esoteric, sharp but not painful. definitely $5.

Lucaz

Greately message, this image of a generalisimo with all his medals that are records of the thousands of people he has killed. This would be very popular in Latin America. Congrats!!! $5

jalin

pwnz

ovarycowboy

Must. Have. This. Shirt.

Ava Adore

nice, i can see this one took a long time to do, and the work is worth it.

rudra

needs to be on army green.

awakeosleeper

I'm giving this shirt a FIVE desipite of the small things I would critique on it. I hate to be one of those guys who says "change the placement & its a 5$", "change the color & I'm buying it", "yatta yatta yatta". But seriously, I'm not digging this shirt color for this design. I'm thinking an athletic grey or a charcoal shirt color would do this design more justice. BECAUSE IT IS AN AMAZING ILLUSTRATION. & you're racking up the scores merely because of that.

The message of the shirt is thought provoking. I know there is a time for war and a time for peace...but this artwork really shows the evil of man. Many would like to make this a politcal statement now...but I think its much more than that.

yaymarshamack

so amazingly well done

$5

soulDELAY

i like the concept. war, casualities... etc.
good stuff.

spitting_llama

I'm not sure about the shirt color, just because I think it's a yucky color, but you know what? You still get a $5 from me because this design and the message behind it is incredible.

rainbow_taster

thats an amazing design.. must have taken ages.

again, not so keen on the colour of the shirt, but hey.

pinkdecember

very, VERY brilliant.

mikeb215

love the design, but doubt i could wear it w/o gettin my ass kicked around here

shootinstar

I love this a lot. Awesome detail!

OHunique

I think the illustration is incredible. I personally wouldn't wear it. I love colors, and this isn't really doing it for me.

Gobsnocker

Dood, thats sick, in a good way! I really like the mustche!!

person

This is awsome artwork i'm jealous.

papercupmixmaster

I don't know quite why, but this shirt reminds me very much of the Carl Sandburg poem, The Unknown War. I'm not much of one for advertising political messages on my person, but I must say that I would eat steaming yak shit to wear this t-shirt and pick up liberal hipster sluts. I do love this.

DTLA

WOW. liberallific and i love it
love it awesome execution of your concept
drawing is pitch perfect for this design
def buy 5

Devius

lots of work... it looks nice!

Fortino Samano

hang on.when you said this image was inspired by an illustration you saw, does that pretty much ripped it off? if no, well done, it's lovely. if yes, bad man/woman , very ban man/woman
