I really like this design. Not sure what the Standby/on/off Symbol is for though. Good Work
|
 |
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 The computer power symbol is the "central core" for the mini-earth I designed. It's my way of representing the power and activity that computers play in the world today.
|
 |
theperk on Nov 09 '05 i like it a lot, but i wish you would have changed the clouds instead of using the same one four times
|
 |
awesome, i like both colour choices [a little more for the blue] the Mac power button is cute too ^__^
|
 |
Pretty sweet.
Reminds me of the intro to "We <3 Katamari" |
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Gonna have to check that out. Thanks!
|
 |
neat!!!
|
 |
this is killer! I think if the clouds would have been different it could have been better but I like this the most out of the SXSW subs thus far... $5, nicely done!

Rachel Raygun on Nov 09 '05 You have to be a total GEEK to understand/wear this shirt.
That being said, I dig it alot. :P |
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Haha! Well said. I figure since the festival is FOR total geeks, the idea would go along quite nicely.
p.s. about your post on LOST episodes. Look up a program called "bit torrent." if you need help figuring out how to use it, send me an e-mail at lifeboy101@hotmail.com guaranteed you can find them using that. if all else fails, I'll send you a few free rental cards that I've got lying around from Blockbuster. They have them on dvd ;) |
|
I would buy this and any other product that Nathan Griffin has to offer. He has a great sense of style, panache and a wonderful sense of humor. Isaac Mizrahi, watch out!
|
 |
Isaac Mizrahi?... Isn't that the dude who designs women's clothing and other crap fot Target? Sounds like you're trying to be funny.
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Hildee!! I still owe you an e-mail I'm sorry :((
As you can see, I'm alive. Thanks for the vote of confidence! You used the word "panache" hehe. |
 |
Mr Rocks on Nov 09 '05 Nathan, this is very well done. the first 5 from me for this comp. Keep up the good work.
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Thanks Mr. Rocks! Your work is fantASTIC! I checked out your profile and realize now that you are the person responsible for "Let's play PONG." I saw that submission quite some time ago and LOVED it.
|
|
I really like this, very creative and fresh. Good job Nathan!
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Thanks Spitfire!
|
 |
Oy lemon, that power button is universal. My eMachine has it. Not only for Macs. Hrumph.
On the shirt: It really stands out. The color contrast between the power symbol, buildings, and the shirt is amazing. I don't know how it would turn out in real life, but right now it looks very very cool. This size is PERFECT too in my opinion. |
|
Oh, and a five and buy!
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 iamtheznman: Thanks!
Obviously I'm speaking hypothetically but, if the shirt were to get chosen to be printed... threadless would make sure the colors worked. I'm pretty sure the final output would look damn close to what I have here as I've used color swatches from actual blue shirts off the americanapparel websites and I've got a shirt wholesaler catalogue in front of me to compare shirt colors with. |
 |
bomb!
|
 |
funkie fresh on Nov 09 '05 niice
|
|
Great job! Even though it was submitted for the competition, I'd still wear it! $5!
|
 |
i got the power button thing but it made me think it was more like "turn the world on or off" sort of thing. also whats the significance of the places where they start and finish? home to the city? is that where people die, in the city? whats going on in the neighborhood in the bottom? are they watching tv or something? is that what the zig zags are? of course maybe im reading too much into it and its just a pretty shirt, which it is.
|
|
Hehe. You're definately looking into it. I can't say you're looking TOO FAR into it because art is meant to be looked at and picked apart (no matter how 'pretty' it is).
The image breakdown is as follows: You're looking at the earth. The power button was described above. The start and finish are meant to 'symbolize' (I hate using that word) the path of an idea; from the individual to the masses. The speech bubble coming from the little neighborhood on the bottom right is just my way of showing "activity" or "miscellaneous talk." The rest of it is just "a pretty shirt" as you put it. It was my interpretation of interactivated (interactive<-- people interacting/sharing their ideas and activated<-- the earth being "turned on" from the inside) |
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 Hehe. Sorry about that. I'm over at my mothers house. I'm making her vote so I had to create an account for her. I'm a dumbarse.
|
|
oh of course i want this. PRINTTT
$5 :) |
 |
fastjumper on Nov 09 '05 yeah "fresh" is the right word for this.nice job
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 09 '05 danaaa, fastjumper: thanks so much :)) spread the word!!
|
 |
great use of icons and design.
|
 |
Love the colours.
|
|
Excellent design! Don't think I get the start/finish thing, or the heart and the squiggly line... but it still looks awesome. I'd buy it, and when someone asked what it meant, I would say "The south will rise again!"
|
 |
great!
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 10 '05 Thanks everyone! Keep those votes coming! They may all be 0's but it's nice to see the number go up regardless :p
|
 |
That's awesome, I love it.
|
|
Really nice - reminds me a bit of "we are all made from carbon"
|
 |
love it.. great imagination!
|
 |
I adore it on blue. Very sweet design.
|
|
The needs of a fellow Average Joe must be heeded, at any cost. Well, not really ANY cost, but if its free, count me in!
Best of luck, Damian |
|
I think the clouds are perfect. no matter where you are you, some things never change
like the cockroach problem at joffreys love always, allison |
 |
$5
I'm really lovin' this design! |
 |
OMFG. send me a blockbuster card please. $5
|
 |
Am I the only one that thinks this looks way too much like "We are all made of Carbon"??
http://www.threadless.com/submission/44927/we_are_made_of_carbon |
 |
haha yeah i immediately thuoght of 'we are all made of carbon'.
but i sitll like it. hmm. |
|
It may have a tinge of similarity, but who says the whole "globe" theme is now taken. When I look at the Carbon shirt I think of a carbon ATOM, not globe which is clearly what Nathan is going for here. Besides I think its a good representation of "the power and activity that computers play in the world today" as Nathan put it.
This site is jam packed with everyone and their mother submitting lame traced people vectors, one after the next, they're all the same and dont take much effort at all. This looks like work went into it. Bravo Nathan you should be proud! I love it :) |
 |
i luved about the colors. i loved the circle talking bubbles. i luved the sattellite dish. hope it works out for you and me :)
|
|
cool idea, but i htink it coud use some embellishment
|
|
looks like "we are all made of carbon"...i'm sorry, but it just does...think it's the cutesy mountains
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 11 '05 wow. you people don't give up do you.
|
 |
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOOOVE IT
|
 |
WOWZ THIS REMINDZ ME OF "WE ARE ALL MADE OUT OF THE CARBON STUFF" OR WHATEVER THATZ CALLED
;) |
|
Hey Nathan!!
I LOVE the shirt!!! You are blessed with AWESOME talent!! You have a great mind and are one of a kind, there is no else like you out there. Keep up the great work and keep me up to date on any new shirts that you have. My friends and I would love to buy them. You can find me on your friends list on myspace, my user name on there is "SweetAngel". :) |
 |
I LOVE THIS BUT PIFMAN IS RIGHT THEY REALLY DO LOOK SIMILAR.
|
 |
oh that's cool. i like this
|
 |

|
|
i really like this. (on blue, though, not grey.) the eiffel tower being so tall bugs me a bit, but otherwise, i love it.
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 12 '05 Where are all the $5 votes!?!
|
 |

|
 |

|
 |

|
 |
remidns me of a combination of paul frank and the we are all amde from carbon shirt. Still nicelty done tho
|
 |
whoa i think this one will win. it's catchy. 5$
|
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 14 '05 The one with the robot destroying the city is doing A LOT better than mine is (as far as I can tell from comments and number of votes)...
but we'll see. I have hope. Thanks for the vote. |
|
cute!
|
 |
its seriously beautiful but please mix it up a bit with the clouds.
Then I will buy it |
 |
stickymike on Nov 15 '05 You got yourself a doozie of a shirt Nathan, I dig it!
ps. the power button reminds me of a Mac, but I wont hold it against ya |
|
Nathan Griffin on Nov 15 '05 haha. the power button reminded ME of a mac as well... that was before I realized that it's actually a pretty universal symbol when it comes to computers. I've seen it on a bunch of PC's as well, it's just not as prominent on them as it is on Macs. God bless Apple for always making things pretty.
|
 |
its cute. i m not too concerned with the meaning --i like shirts where people can interpret in their own ways. its just really eyecatching, specially on the blue. good job. $5
|
 |
*notes power button on his Dell* Matches.
|
|
i love this, something about it makes me smile. =D $5 + buy <3
|
 |
bombshield on Nov 16 '05 I think it could be better if there were more things to find inside the design. I think its too quick of a read. Don't forget, we love our nuiances. 3$
|

The two shirt colors that worked best were the blue and the "natural" (shown here).
