About my design

by katoon
I'm predicting a great many people will ask me what a vulture has to do with candy. Well, vultures generally have nothing to do with candy unless you eat candied vultures, but the majority of us probably don't. I put a vulture in cause I needed a bird to parallel the american coat o' arms and I figured that since I had the word "death" up there, I should throw in a vulture. There. Cleared up.



Hope you like it children.

At first glance I didn't like it, but it kind of grows on you. I love candy and I like this design on the red.

this makes me crave candied vultures.



jokes. i think it's a pretty dang cool design. could also be representative of how our ever-fatter population is killing itself with convenient foods, over-processed foods, an abundance of resources, etc. it's really clever.

the design definitely grows on you, but what a horrible message. i like the drawing but i could only wear this to poke fun at obese america.

The thing in its left talon looks like a tube of toothpaste, as it seems to get wider towards the top.

Thanks kiddos for the lovely cajoles and criticisms!



What people seem to think is a toothpaste tube or astronaut bread is supposed to be a chocolate bar.



Yes, d3d, it is a horrible message, but it certainly is not very serious. People can take it as a joke about the growing obesity of North Americans, or they can just see it as expressing an undying love for candy. Whatever you derrive is okay with me...as long as youu get a giggle out of it.

Great design, but the colors gross me out. I wish they were toned down a lot.

Colors are very intense. For some increibly unknown reason, this reminds me of grade school workbook illustrations, which is a good thing.

one of the things i thought you were doing was comparing vultures with Eagles because they are both scavanger's, yeah i has a very anti-american setiment, even if it was an accident.



pretty funny anyhow

I'd buy it on red...because i think we'd all agree that life just wouldn't be the same without sinful food. mmm, cookies.x

Cracked me up. Mainly the bit about candied vultures. Immediately got that the candy bar was a candy bar. Nice job.
