Here's my take for the SXSW contest. Hope you like it!

Larger version with alternate color at http://telaine.dillfrog.com/images/artwork/largeversionblueFINAL.gif

I really like it. It follows the theme but is also pretty.

I don't know about the burgundy, but the Natural color looks great. Nicely done.

It's a little big...

i really dig this. way cool.

Thanks for the comments so far. Keep 'em coming!

If others think it should be a little smaller, that can be easily fixed.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the thing in the center, near the heart?

Hmm, there's no heart -- but maybe the leaves kinda form two heart halves?

Anyway, the one thing that's not shown larger in part is the movie film "grass." That might be what you're wondering about.

Also, it's a little subtle on purpose but the leaves are flat symbols in music (as the petals are treble clefs and the center is a whole note).

Thanks for the interest. :)

Snake hair secretes snake oil. Oily shirt noooo!@

i don't like the flower idea, and i don't get why it's plugged in?? a little confusing.

Burgundy, yay, close to my favorite color.

oh! now i'm seeing the treble clefs and the whole note.

very creative. :)

I didn't notice any of the hidden music symboly-things, & I thought it was pretty. Now, I think it's pretty, & very clever.
I do agree that it should be smaller. Personally, I'd shrink it down to at least 75%, or I may even go as far as 50%. Definately better on natural.

And, maybe it's just me, but the movie film "grass" doesn't seem to fit. Probably just me, though.

I'm just now getting the music thing, thanks! I'm kinda slow.

kristinj: I used a flower to symbolize the beauty and roots of technology. The way music, movies and computers all work together is kinda amazing sometimes.

indieflea: I understand how the music might not jump out right away. It was intended that way - you're not slow!

I just really wanted to illustrate something that meant something to me and then see what the voters think. :) I'm taking all your comments into consideration; thanks again!

Looks tons like the "Are Trees Electric?" submission.

I haven't seen that before so I searched and came up with this. Is this what you meant?

If so, I appreciate you pointing it out but I think my style and message are completely different here. Hopefully others agree.

ooh la la. +3

Reminds me of the Flower Power shirt, too.

I dont like it.

The socket, the plug, the flower and the grass just dont all go together.

The placement is really akward and not good for a shirt, and wearing a flower like that would make me feel like I'm in the 4th grade again.

To each their own.

For those who asked about smaller placement, here is a link with that and an alternate color for fun:

thanks beanie!!! :)

......I'm a crazy musician, so the clefs and signs stood out immediately! ....Which reminds me that the one part in that hotel sheet music starts with rh in bass.

I like this, but it's kinda... big...

I posted a smaller one at http://telaine.dillfrog.com/images/artwork/itsallconnecteddenimnat.gif

And thanks!

I like the music idea, and I love flowers. I don't care whether this shirt design makes sense; it's really nice.

so beautiful.....5$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Thanks again to all those who supported my design.

Love it and would buy it. Great expression of the imagination
