I am on a journey to create beautiful work.

This design has fully evolved from a previous submission. The praises and criticism of that submission were poured into this one where, no doubt, it shall receive its own declaration of love or hatred. The first attempt was meant to evoke a feeling of peace, quiet and reflection. Upon making this design I wanted to stir those same emotions but I also felt a sadness come over me and it entered this design. Perhaps you too will see this when you look. I could explain more but I want people to look first then explanations will come.

I design because it is a part of the passion. Whether you look at it and gasp with delight or you scoff and dismiss my submission I take pride in it. Tomorrow I shall arise with a new vision and continue on the journey. For the brief second in time that you view this submission you are a part of it.

"She Dreams on the Water...Free". Enjoy

okay

If you put more expression into the image and less into the pretentious babble, it might evoke some kind of response. At the moment, it's just a picture of someone asleep, possibly in the outlet of a sewer pipe. Unengaging and technically so-so.

OK... So close... I would make the sun bigger, place the girl and lines centered bottom in the sun, remove the rocky elements, and have the lines on the bottom reach to the seams of the shirt (bottom, left, right.

center the design a little higher and i think you would have a winner.

scary

I just don't "get" your art. But that doesn't stop it from being art I guess. I think it lacks something that makes it a "shirt-worthy" piece. looks like it belongs more on a wall.

I thought the Threadless folks rejected revisions of previous submissions? Nice graphic, though...

wow jigglerlo youre definitely sounding pretty hardcore here.......

should be black w/ neon colors, sweet drawing

It's a sun... and an eye! Sweet.

oh please people don't take that first comment thing too seriously. my friend alex actually wrote that up for me and i told him in honour of him and in honour of objective and creative statements i'd post it on my next two subs. trust me, after this sub and the other one that whole story will be extint.

please just vote for the sub

maybe you should tell your friend alex to write up some movie scripts.
i hear theres a big market for pretentious shit these days.
this looks like a bad felt poster from the 70's.
imagine yourself walking around with that on your chest.
She looks like shes gorging herself on a giant shattered eyeball.
nice one.

reminds me of an episode of CSI or cold cases...

-k.

love it

iunteresting illus

i agree that i would look better on a wall instead of a shirt. the rock looking things are a little much for me. also the colours should be changed

***it

This is not a therapy blog. Take your psycho-analysis stuff to a shrink. And then take some art lessons. That is REAL advice.

ooohhh somebody really hates me.

you can tell me you hate it, you can tell me you don't get it, you can tell me you wouldn't wear ti but don't tell me i can't draw. at least i have the guts to put up my work as opposed to others.

It's really nice art... but I'm not sure if I'd like to wear it. I love the feeling, but there's something that's a bit hard to imagine here as a shirt... Maybe I'm just wanting some more shadows... but that would go over the 4-color limit...

Wow, what is with all these negative comments? Don't let them get you down, jiggerlo. I really love this sub and I think you did a wonderful job. (The colors work very nice on the green and the detail is great.)

And as for everyone else - if you don't like the concept, just say so and move on. You don't have to be cruel about it. Half of you don't even have subs of your own, and until you start putting your own art out there I don't think you understand how disheartening your rude comments can be.

lose the girl

I like this. Although I wouldn't buy it, I give it a 4

I agree with CheesecakeBree.

thanks CheesecakeBree and yoomei

this would be a lot better if the girl and all the shdaes of green were available in the shades of the colour tee it was on

The way you indicated the ground is really neat

I mean water, I'm sorry, what I'm trying to say is that those lines are really nice...I like them..........nice work

it's a visual mess. there is no focus. i know you refuse to listen to anyone that tells you can't draw, and you do have guts putting this up for submission, but it lacks a focal point. it lacks meaning. it looks like a junkie asleep in a drain ditch.

well.
i like it.

I agree with cambert--sleeping in sewer pipes is not so cool, even if you're dreaming

by the way, a comma would work better than an ellipsis...

3 (I did get an initial feeling of sadness)

i love love love it in the green

I have made an attempt to ignore all those issuing cheap, usless, and rude commentary for no other reason than to try and make them selves look cool. It's not.
However every now and then somebody says something quite amusing, their own wack criticisum gives you a good idea, or your sweet thoughts of shoving sullied toilet lollies down there throats give you a warm sense of satisfaction, and in its own way it is BEAUTIFUL.
Perhaps this is a good place to start rather simply viewing beauty as an aestheic medium. If not, produce work with more than four colours. Sacrifice a possible cool $1000, enjoy a little more freedom, and you if this what you truly hope to acomplish you may step a little closer to your goal.

I don't get peace, quiet and reflection from those colors. Maybe if you used softer colors... 4
