JUST the rhino and bird and I'd give you a $5...it's almost too busy..4 though.

asher27 on Oct 23 '05

i dont know why but i really like it...

$4

asher27 on Oct 23 '05

oh, and i really like the shirt template things you used by the way...

Leslee on Oct 23 '05

Very nice.

franx on Oct 24 '05

whoopsy, the title should read "built" not "build".
you can see a close up in my profile.
thanks everyone!

puma_blues on Oct 24 '05

I like it.
I feel sorry for the Rhino. He just wants to rock!
Damn opposable thumbs and lack thereof!!

jett on Oct 24 '05

ohhh... if you'd do it up with just the rhino and the thought balloon with the hands, it'd be a fiver. still worth a 4 though.

Ava Adore on Oct 24 '05

very very nice!

Jew Turn on Oct 24 '05

I second the "jett" opinion. You don't need all of that stuff, it just screams "throwing stuff on a wall to see which will stick" thinking.

ryel k on Oct 24 '05

yeah this is so sweet, just lose all the stuff but the rhino, hands, tweet y bird and this a PHAT shirt. do it in pink for sure. $5

pathill on Oct 24 '05

cool design, i think it looks good with all the extra bits around the rhino, keep it like it is!

sucellus on Oct 24 '05

i agree about removing all those jumbly extra symbols, otherwise its awesome

cambert on Oct 24 '05

I'll go with the "it's too busy" crowd here, but it's beautifully illustrated. Lovely work.

redsugar on Oct 24 '05

If it was just the rhino and the bird, I'd marry it.

You don't even need the hands, because the sad expression on his face, and his little toenails sticking out explain it all.

franx on Oct 24 '05

yeah, no love for the doodles it seems. originally it didn't have all that other stuff but i find it just sits better on the shirt this way.
in my "rocU" design i was playing with the idea of a kid doodling on their binder or notebook in class while daydreaming of being a rock star. i just thought the same idea could apply here.

phones on Oct 24 '05

i like it busy....
guess i'll play by myself again...

littlem on Oct 24 '05

It's cool, I'd buy it for my brother, for sure:)
I like your style!

Amanda13 on Oct 24 '05

wonderful, perfect :)

muffinstastegood on Oct 24 '05

i like it in the blue best

Jesus!Versus!Godzilla! on Oct 24 '05

Am I just retarded? I like the busy-ness for some reason. xD It's so cute! Poor rhino! For those about to rock...we salute you! I mean...rhinos...<.<

cement_shoes on Oct 24 '05

I reeeeallly hope this gets printed =)

funkie fresh on Oct 24 '05

this is just quite awesome :)

trixi on Oct 24 '05

Nice…I love it ALL!!!

Elvira026 on Oct 24 '05

I really like this! I would buy it in blue

steve_swartz on Oct 25 '05

just the rhino, dude

to resubmit it, strip everything but the rhino and the guitar, and the play towards whateve guitarist you like. Jerry Garcie? Just a thot ;)

Robsoul on Oct 25 '05

I likes as is, very wacky and great illustration.

nice presentation too.

question, did you convert your illustration to vector or edit it entirely in photoshop?

C86 on Oct 25 '05

Great work as always Frank - good to see something new at Threadless

For my 10 cents, I prefer the design as it is. The surrounding elements are essential to give the image its uniqueness - without them, it'll still work, but not appear as exciting. I love having things for my eyes to dance around!

Great character illustration, and I'm a sucker for chirping birds... $5

wake the dead! on Oct 25 '05

Don't touch it AT ALL!!! I love it! This shirt NEEDS to be printed. 5$ Great job.

fyrefly98 on Oct 26 '05

I love the rhino's expression, and I like the blue.

The extra stuff is distracting and looks a little clip-art-y, though. Just rhino, bird, and hands, and it's a 5$.

franx on Oct 26 '05

you can view my profile to see it without the "extra stuff".
thanks for the feedback everyone!

Robsoul on Oct 26 '05

NO, it needs the extra stuff, that's what makes it unique!!!! It reminds me of rocU, and rocU should really have been printed.

Open your minds little people of threadless... please, for the love of god, you are really irritating me with your insipid perspective on art.
