i dont really like the idea of a kid drowning wacked on a t-shirt, but still, its a nice design.

If I was drowning I probably would think about the water filling my lungs. And then pass out.

I think it's a nice image without the text or the drowning implication.

the image is a little too cute and the sentiment a little to dark. they're both good, but together it's just a little too off-kilter.

i think it's sweet. when my life flashes before my eyes i see you. very romantic thought, don't know if it works with the little kid though.

How did a little kid get to the bottom of the pool with floaties on? Wouldn't that be hard?

I thought it was a boy in a one-peice.

why are they wearing floaties and drowning? those are the worst floaties ever.
alistedcrime
alistedcrime on Dec 09 '05
it would probably be better/less offensive if it weren't a child drowning... and i agree w/jaymann22: why floaties if drowning?

if i was drowning, i'd let myself submerge until i can touch the bottom ground then kick REALLY hard to surface myself then shout for help whilst in the surface.

if i WERE drowning. not if i WAS drowning.
Jager

Notice the title is "If I were drowning" but the text reads 'was'. Taking on the character of the poor child.

i agree with asspain.

I'm loving the phrase on the shirt, but the execution doesn't seem to complement it very well. Does that make sense? Maybe start over with the concept, I don't know.

hm i don't like the text, but the shirt as is wouldn't work without it.

*dilemma*

I really like it, but I don't like the colors you used or the font.

JessR687 on Dec 11 '05
personally, i love it.

it's very urban-outfitters-esque.

random and funny in a cool, artsy, avant-garde way.

Cayman: how often do you get to say THAT? ;P

uh...

Little kids dying on a shirt is in bad taste unless you do something intellectual with it.

So, you get a zero.

I totally get the point of the shirt but it was a bad idea...A kid drowning on a shirt...Tisk Tisk

Man, I really like this. It's weird, but it's whimsical and cute. It reminds me of indie rock song lyrics. I like the illustration.
thethirdbane
thethirdbane on Dec 13 '05
Oh I also like the font. And in regards to all of the criticisms of the kid, floaties, unrealistic nature of the design...That's the point. It's conceptual. I don't see the kid as drowning--it's just a picture of a kid in a pool that complements the theme and attitude of the text. It's sweet. I get this. 5 and buy.

OMG. That is appalling. When I was ten I was swimming with my little brother. Our parents had gone to fetch our towels and we were being naughty and not coming back to the side. One minute Timmy was right next to me and the next moment I looked round and there was this enormous whale of a woman, I mean Orca-fat, wearing the same polka-dot swimming costume as the child in your design. Everytime I see it I think of the vast dippled blubber and want to vomit. That t-shirt really upsets me.

I love the idea, but the drawing could have been much more dramatic. I don't know about using a child. I think I would use an older character.

I like it. but then again ive gone through it so i would. heh.. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I LIKE IT
jukee
jukee on Dec 14 '05
Damn you... I almost choked on my ice cream I laughed so hard. This is the first shirt of yours that's done that to me. I want one right now.
jukee
jukee on Dec 14 '05
Whoops, wrong shirt... Dunno how that happened... Sorry! I will leave criticism for this, though. I like the colors, but not the goggles. I would make the left goggle round like the right, and not suggest any hair at all. I would also try to make the body seem more proportional, since it's hard to pull off that 3-d effect with vector art...

lose the text and this would be a great shirt

I like the text, and I DONT say that much. Its kind of an original romantic notion.
Dappi
Dappi on Dec 15 '05
The text reminds me of those shirts from Hot Topic that say "Don't hate me because I'm beautifl" and "Take a picture it lasts longer" The graphic is cool but the message is cheesy.
