LifEternal
A tribute to Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).

you know if his mustache was a little smaller he would easily be mistaken for another historical figure, one who killed jews, that who i thought it was at first, thats right, god. no i mean hitler sorry. but yeah, i dont think many people know what Poe looked like? i bet you'll get alot of hitler talk. but i admire the idea.

smaller and on a different color tee please.

may also want to add type. not many, including myself, know what Mr. Poe looked like.

Poe rocks! Make the shirt tan or sage or something. I love the design (I agree to make it a tad smaller), but not on a white shirt.

It's funny, because a lot of what you guys have said, I regretted after I submitted it.

- Crap. He looks a lot like Hitler.
- White is a horribly boring color in this case. Even though it can be changed.
- No one knows what the heck Poe looks like. I should have maybe put his name on somewhere...
- There's probably a lot of premade brush hate groups that are going to kill me in my sleep.

But thanks for the input, guys and girls. I'll know how to fix it next time.

i knew it was poe, but i know a lot of people wouldn't. is there a way you can make it clear that it is poe, without making it ... super obvious? and it would look much better on a coloured shirt, i think.

Ugh... I just realized that. The original computer I'd done it on, it appeared as if there were only two colors. Of course, the premade brushes sometimes freak out. A sign of needing to make my own brushes.

So yeah, I'd already noticed it, but thanks for letting me know. ;D

@ squeegebeckenheim:
I'd never thought of that. I'm sure there's something I could have put in the background... well, always good to know.

spamantha on Jan 12 '06
i think it is pretty, but it is probably too many colors. it does look like a photoshop brush. if you did this again, with your own drawing and a not-premade brush, i would definitely buy it. also, he does not look like hitler, wtf.

I can't think of a more over rated poet.

Damn, this is like trying to print a Dali shirt. Or a Led Zepplin shirt.

Get over him. There's better stuff out there.

The Telltale T-shirt...

You can totally tell it's not Hitler. The neck scarf he's wearing was fashionable during Poe's time, not Hitler's. The design is cool, but definetely use something other than leaves.

And I agree with the others, make it bigger and add some words (maybe just on the back?) so people know who it is.

Good job, Nate. ^-^ This is Kelsey, F.Y.I. Where on earth did you findthis site?

Poe is recognizable. Some thoughts... he wouldn't wear a white shirt so he shouldn't be on one. If this is a tribute to him, then the design should be a tribute to something about him that made him famous. He wasn't a model he was a writer of doom and gloom so maybe half his face and half a skull or something. Basically his life sucked, he was depressed, and he wrote about death... tribute that.

I find it humorous that you have made a Poe t-shirt, yet I'm not sure what the leaves and "Autumn According to Poe" has to do with anything.

I like it quite a lot, I knew it was Poe and I don't think he looks so much like Hitler, my only critique is that you change the shirt colour.
glasseater827
glasseater827 on Jan 15 '06
put one of his poems in the backdrop... ?! then we'd know it was poe...

Hollities on Jan 15 '06
I like it, dispite the brush. I think you used it well :)

&people stop going on about the shirt colour, threadless always changes it. Don't downgrade a submission just because of the background!

i really like the fact that few people know its poe. makes it much more personal. the man was a genius, and if someone asks you who it is, maybe they dont deserve to know.

awesome idea. awesome design, but maybe a green shirt would look nice with the colours.

It makes me sad that these wee high schoolers do not know what Poe looked like. Nice shirt design, I like it on the white shirt--very stark--but using a premade photoshop brush is kind of cheating, I think.

I would have never thought in a thousand years it was Hitler. o_O not all men with mustaches are Hitler look-alikes.

I'd pay $6. ^-^ But since you never gave me a Christmas gift I demand it for free.
