pretty cool. unfortunately it reminds me of the "Free Online Casino" pop-ups that are attacking my screen even as we speak.

but cool design anyway!

"I'm on a Rolla Gay"... that title just barely treads the line of making sense and well, not making sense. But it does, and it got a chuckle out of me (for you non-Jeopardy watchers, it's a reference to the Enola Gay, the plane that delivered the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs). The design is cool, but I feel like the colors/shading/style is very inconsistent between the plane/dice and the table/chips. Plus, you'll never see a craps table with stacks of chips that high. Still a 4 out of me, though

It's true Enola Gay dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima, but it was Bockscar that dropped Fatman on Nagasaki.. you know, just for posterity.

Love this, it really works well. Maybe smaller dice and bigger guy?

needs better shading on the pieces at the bottom, so it creats more depth and shadow

Excellent apart from the graphic on the table - particuarly the chips, maybe you were trying to make it look like a city scape as well as a chip stack but for me it looks strange. They need more definition generally and maybe not the glowing tips. I really like the concept and placement tho, nice to see a design taking up more then just the centre of the shirt.

N sure I like the red with the shirt colour. The placement's not bad, I'm not sure how easily it would centre. The idea is a vaguely similar to You Sunk my Battleship, IMHO, but it's a nice idea and well executed.

There should be a sign that says: "Don't Ride the Dice."

PS You guys whining about the placement should give a suggestion instead of just saying the placement is shitty. Think of the graphic on the shirt, what one placement would be "better" than the other?

i really like this. 4/5. even if the colors are a little too christmas-y to wear all the time.

Excellent execution of a really cool idea. Let the snobs rest on their snobby laurels.

I'm going to be straight honest when I say that your shirt is the reason why I signed up for this site. I really hope it gets printed and I can wear it around. It actually combines the best of both worlds: I can wear it around looking like a badass like someone who throws dice without fear, but secretly I'll have a chuckle with those few friends who've seen Dr. Strangelove.

This shirt, while not a Carravaggio painting, does contain more depth than the majority of other designs on this site. The man, riding the dice below, where they'll explode into either incredible success or terrible failure. There's a certain abandonment about him, waving the cowboy hat, knowing that the outcome doesn't matter so much as the ride down. It's all about the moment. The chips, do resemble a city-scape, reinforcing the importance of the roll, and perhaps symbolizing the cost of a city that can (and in this case, will) be destroyed with the drop of just two small bombs. The plane, off center from the other objects is gone. It's never going to come back. It's dropped it's load and there's nothing left for it to do.

If the dice and the table were moved a little bit to the left, but the plane left where it is now, it might make for a better design. The table seems very close to the side of the shirt, which puts me off, not in a compositional sense, but in a practical sense. I'd want people to see the whole picture.

I tend to avoid shirts that I don't like, but I make it a point to drool over those I do enjoy. I have given you a five and a definite "Would buy." The best of luck to you (and me in this case).
