oh i really like that. its a really nice idea, and a talking piece. i really like the positioning too.

i would kinda like to see how it would work flipped and on the right shoulder, just cos a lot of things are being put on the left at the minute.

Holy eff. This is pretty much one of the most amazing desI've ever seen here. I love the rectangular shape of it and the placement is perfect. Oh man, I really hope this gets printed. I'd snatch it right up.
steve_swartz
steve_swartz on Jan 13 '06
good!

the placement is very bad.

you have to think about the ability of the shirt viewer to see the small details you've put in: the nest and the root designs. while they're cool, they're not the sort of fussy detail work that looks good when you step back and squint (the way you'd see the details from across a room or something). a shirt design doesn't get the same far/near view from most people that a pritn would (and i'd slap someone if they tried ;).

vincent3 on Jan 13 '06
Well Steve Swartz that's enlightening advice, but I beg to differ because the beauty is in the details as far as I'm concerned. Mike Mills this design is lovely, delicate and true. a 5 in my book.

nicomi on Jan 13 '06
Cool design and concept.

To me, if you're going to include the roots touching water, perhaps you should have the tree be more than a seemingly dead trunk.
CheesecakeBree
CheesecakeBree on Jan 13 '06
Wow, I love this! Forget the nit-picky comments above, I'd leave it as is. I don't mind the placement at all and the colors work so great together. I love the detail of the design, too... it has so many interesting elements that keep you looking.

Great art. Nice use of curves. The skeletons... for me I noticed that the tree roots are making a little craddle for the dead birds and I like the concept that the this tree is the nesting place for this world and the next. However I can see where in such an earthy and serene shot the dead birds may be construed as creepy or out of place.

I don't know why I haven't commented on this before. Very nice design. I would love it centered on the shirt, I know how boring, but that way I could wear a light jacket and still show off such great art. $
