cool idea

bluemagenta on Nov 04 '05

the idea is great but i would love it if the illustration was clearer. not my style.

dorkeh on Nov 04 '05

I like it.

franx on Nov 04 '05

check out my profile for a close up and various color options.

thanks everyone hope you like it!

xiv on Nov 04 '05

works best on black. 5buy

rosewaterecho on Nov 04 '05

I absolutely love this. Especially with a yellow bird. Definite $5 <3

jublin on Nov 04 '05

i actually really like the green one. The black seems a little too dark for me. Very awesome idea.

Dark Visions on Nov 04 '05

the black is beautiful...hell, they're both beautiful! $5!

Piranha Petting Zoo on Nov 04 '05

Ohhh maaaan. I have been trying to do something like this for DECADES. (Even though I have not been alive for decades, somehow I have managed.)

If Threadless does not print this, I will cry.

funkie fresh on Nov 04 '05

niiice

PELF on Nov 04 '05

i really like it.
don't know about the dimensions rule though...

Kaleidoscope*swe* on Nov 04 '05

very nice idea and looks good 2! but reminds me to much of one of those glow in the dark haloween costumes! its a 4 and mjah wouldnt want to wear it.

rosewaterecho on Nov 04 '05

Note to Threadless: This needs printing. Really. I especially love it because it reminds me of Hilde Bruch's The Golden Cage. <3

bitterbat on Nov 04 '05

this is really nice work. love the bird's eyelashes! i also like the idea of using the metallic gold ink....sweet!

one question: what's the little grey blob (sorry, can't think of a better word) that is on the top on both sides?

Agent _retro on Nov 04 '05

YES! Please print this!!
$5

I wish the birdie was red though. :)

Ava Adore on Nov 04 '05

ie seen the rib cage done before.
having the bird is great!

hunnybunnyb0o on Nov 04 '05

wow. i absolutely love this. i really hope it gets printed. i would most definately buy it. $5

vkyk on Nov 04 '05

like the black one =] $5

elianna on Nov 04 '05

Creepy, yet lovely. $5 and buy for the second.

Pistola on Nov 04 '05

Franx, you blow my effing mind. $5.

TFMdesign on Nov 04 '05

YES $5

TFMdesign on Nov 04 '05

black

helloletshug on Nov 04 '05

it's nice that alot of the submissions now aren't cliche.
5$!

Nocturne on Nov 04 '05

Stupid. I have no appreciation for any Maya Angelou references

blandford on Nov 04 '05

I like this a lot, especially on black, but the scapulas, if that's what they're supposed to be, need work.
Also, w/that much shading on the bones it seems odd to have no shading on the bird. it looks like a flat cardboard cut-out hanging there.

ArchieH on Nov 04 '05

I like this a lot, but I prob wouldn't wear it, 4 regardless

Elburrito on Nov 04 '05

MONEY!

This is great!
5$!

xXonigiri on Nov 04 '05

i love it. the black one's awesome.

BlackSheep77 on Nov 05 '05

i love it, it's creepy, but in a way it's very possitive.

BlackSheep77 on Nov 05 '05

positive, duh

Easy Jack on Nov 05 '05

I'd buy this and wear it on a regular basis. $5.

baroque-petite on Nov 05 '05

I love the black version ... the green just doesn't work for me, though. I'm giving it a 5 in any case, I would buy it in black.

kidcreate on Nov 05 '05

rad rad rad 5!

phones on Nov 05 '05

make a little birdhouse in your soul...
Phones love bones. i'd like the bird yellow on the black too.

Elvira026 on Nov 05 '05

the design is really nice -- $5

penpal on Nov 05 '05

i really like it! i like the idea of the bird being where the heart is suppose to be (on the left side if you were wearing it) and the fact that it could possibly be a love bird in replace of the heart! a 5 & a definite buy.

with_the_worst_intentions on Nov 05 '05

This is really beautiful.. I'd wear either color, but I like the black better.
$5.

is a gunslinger on Nov 05 '05

Black with yellow bird. 5$

DaintyBuffalo on Nov 05 '05

I'd love it no matter which color you choose =)

KatieFm on Nov 05 '05

i realy like the black

luckythirteen on Nov 05 '05

Even though I already have a skeleton shirt, OMG PLEASE PRINT THIS!

Otohiko on Nov 05 '05

Nicely done. I like it on both green and black. $5

$5555555555555

This will be printed. And the first Threadless shirt I will actually buy.
I'll get it the day of just cause I know it'll sell out about 5 times. :)
There's my prediction.
You even got Stuck With Pins who just came on to give this a $5.

rouged_stiletto on Nov 06 '05

this reminds me of a crystal city clothing design.
but it's cool.

benmaxjill on Nov 06 '05

i love this. 5$

drinkme on Nov 06 '05

F*cking fabulous. I love the black one and will definitely be purchasing when and if (it better!) makes it. $5, oh yes.

LoveMeElectric on Nov 06 '05

WHEN this shirt is printed, I am buying 365 of them so I can wear one every day of the year and never be bothered by such trivialities as doing the laundry.

indiemcemopants on Nov 06 '05

There's a canary by the light switch who watches over you.
And build a little birdhouse in your soul.

Yay! This makes me think of They Might Be Giants. Wonderful! 5$

phantomless on Nov 06 '05

I love it. I really do. I love skeleton shirts and the bird inside is awesome. I'd definately buy it (preferably in black).

LoveJunkie on Nov 07 '05

alksdeef on Nov 07 '05

Would make a good haloween costume for me.. Otherwise I wouldn't wear it.. 3

tbsxbrighteyes on Nov 07 '05

pretty good. just a tip, i think it would look good in a dark navy blue... i give it a 4 $ nice job.

Kaleidoscope*swe* on Nov 07 '05

i changed my mind about this one i would wear it ! :D

gracieleufreebush on Nov 07 '05

ahhh i wish the ribs were different, if they were, i would buy it in a second. such a good idea.

Piranha Petting Zoo on Nov 07 '05

I came back to drool over this some more.

*drooldrooldrool*

daverd2 on Nov 07 '05

I just noticed that there are models sporting these T-shirts and they are sharing a subdued embrace. it made me feel a distinct pang for love. Thank you, franx. Your T-shirt has sent me on a mission to find love!

motdidr on Nov 08 '05

Awesome idea. Awesome shirt.

5 and buy

mezo on Nov 08 '05

Are you asking for a standing ovation or something? Awesome, dude. 5 with a little dollar sign.

Twitching on Nov 08 '05

Love it. As for color, I'm liking the blue bird on brown, and the yellow bird on black or purple.

adam antium on Nov 08 '05

Like it!Like it!Like it!

AsaBonner on Nov 08 '05

Haha, i get it...ribCAGE

arch on Nov 08 '05

it looks well done. it looks kinda machine traced though.

melo on Nov 08 '05

yellow bird on black. (:

Geoff G on Nov 09 '05

5$ all the way. If this doesn't get printed I will cry.

theOtherSideOfPink on Nov 09 '05

i absolutely love it in black! 5$

MJNevin on Nov 09 '05

Lose the bird and itde be hella tighter.

Elburrito on Nov 09 '05

then it would lose the hella cool meaning

glamour on Nov 09 '05

dudddde i would wear this every day.
i hope this gets printed soooo badddddddddd.

madeofwires on Nov 09 '05

Wish there was a cute bird in my rib cage..

ivegotanaxe on Nov 10 '05

I think you need to make the ribs a little cleaner, and make the bird bright red. Love it on black.

jackiex3 on Nov 10 '05

PRINTTT

bortwein on Nov 10 '05

I like the Denim Blue version in your Blog, but the birdie in Yellow not pink.
5

littlem on Nov 10 '05

I checked out your profile for a close-up, and all I got was this birdie? hehe. Nice work:)

yellowman on Nov 10 '05

nice shirt but there is a company called crystal city that has a ribcage shirt already. granted you put a bird inside of it, so it is different. Either way nice illustration, I like it.

ChaosWhistler on Nov 10 '05

That's great. 5

colorguardhobbit on Nov 10 '05

I love this to pieces!

Perfection!

I salute you!

sugarcookie92 on Nov 11 '05

you rock...
hot damn, i hope this gets printed so i can buy it

tracy_marie on Nov 11 '05

*are* those scapulas? I agree - they look weird and you should just leave them off. poor birdie! I'd buy it, though.

smallmonster on Nov 11 '05

I wish for different colors. And no more scapulas. Reminds me of anatomy when we learned about the birds of the thoracic cage. I'm a sucker for anatomical tees.

franx on Nov 11 '05

i appreciate all the comments. thank you very much everyone!

colorguardhobbit on Nov 11 '05

Only a 3.35??????

WHAT????

Does that mean that it won't get printed?!?!?!

*cries*

Pico on Nov 14 '05

A 3.35 is a VERY good score. Like, very, very good. There is a good chance that this one will be printed because of its score (and the design seems "threadless-y" enough), but there is no guarantee.

Just have to say, this is the coolest design on threadless! Love it.

quaycur on Dec 31 '06

got this reprinted on black and i have to say that I'm quite disappointed with it. it looked way better in pictures online and the placement should be much higher so it actually sits on your ribs.

GreenNeon009 on Dec 19 '07

I like the black one, but i wish the bird on that wasn't pink...not really my style. Blue or purple would be good.
