I love the dude in the foreground. "Yeah, thats where my shirt started." V cool.
The widescreen format makes the vertical breaks look like stylised film scratches. I also like the ambiguity between the foreground, background, frame and subject. Nice job |
 |
It's a really neat idea.
Since the guy is on his phone, though, do you mean that he's distracted and therefore not appreciating the fish? That's the first impression I had. Then I read your comment that it was inspired by people being awed, rather than oblivious, and became uncertain. |
|
I dunno, it can also look like the guy's holding a gun to his head...it'd be nice to really see that it's a cellphone, then I'd totally buy it. Otherwise 4.
|
 |
w/o seeing his legs it makes me think he's IN the tank.
|
 |
I love it (sort of reminds me of that awesome scene in LADY FROM SHANGHAI)... for the girls' t, tho, maybe go for a khaki green type color? $5. ALSO, the original airport idea is great too... wouldREALLY like to see that as well, part of a series of inside-loooking-out window views?
|
 |
Thanx for the comments , make sure you check out the blog under my profile. I forgot to adjust the colors on the submission the colors should be much brighter, there are also color options.
|
|
I love it. i can't even put my finger on why.
it is gorgeous though. and i love fishes. heh. |
|
I love how big the fish are.
he's just going through life, busy as usual... but the fish make him stop. Aquariums affect me in that way too. (unrealated but very good job in the template... it adds more to your picture I think.. but still it's very impressive) awesome job with the lines. it makes you feel seperate yet connected. I'd most definately buy it... the green one... 5. |
|
you should add the four color lines under the picture.
id buy it 4 |
 |
You say phone, I see gun to the head, and so will other people.
That and the fact that it's on a black shirt, make this just another bad design. |
|
the fish are really well done, but I also wondered why the guy is shooting himself in the head. being on the phone doesn't make any more sense, though.

scoutti on Jan 19 '06 yesa!
|
 |
the captain of awesome: your comment was completely unnecessary. and your name doesn't even deserve capitalization.
freehandprofit: i love this. i love the coulours, the lines, everything. don't get disgoured by assholes like the captain of douchedom. |
 |
Rockslide on Jan 19 '06 this is really cool, I loved it in the previews and I still do now. I do have a bit of a problem with the whole phone thing, I don't think it looks like a gun, but at the same time it makes you wonder why he is on a phone. If the hand was just unmistakably over to the side or something that would be cool. Its a great idea though, I like it a lot.
|
 |
I agree with adding the 4 lines of shading under the picture...really like the blue one.
|
|
really awesome
i didnt see the gun to the head until after i read a comment but now i cant stop seeing it otherwise amazing |
 |
In the tiny picture it looks like Starry Night, except without the yellow.
|
|
and how does this have anything to do with Hair, besides the title?
|
 |
I immediately recognized it as a cell phone. The arm/hand/phone is at the wrong angle to read it as a gun.
Anyone ever been to Amazonia at the National Zoo? There's a walk-thru and it takes you underneath a portion of a rainforest river. And all this green/yellow light filters thru the water and it looks just like this illustration, complete with the huge, huge fish. So, this shirt brought back memories. I love it! |
 |
I'm a tropical fish fan so this shirt brought up some memories.
It looks like the guy is an FBI agent adjusting his earpiece. The kelp/sea plant below the fish on the left hand side looks a little blank. That's all I see that stands out. Besides that, if the image was a little larger I would buy it! Excellent job with contrasting the black perpendicular lines and the background. |
 |
I recognized it as a cell phone right off. I love it. But please, don't make the girly shirt another color. Who says we can't wear black?
|
 |
Holy freakin' beautiful, batman. I have a picture of myself standing in front of the columnar aquarium in Boston that looks just like this. I also recognized the cell phone right away -- a very nice juxtaposition of nature and technology. Like the green better than the blue, but will buy either in a heartbeat when it gets printed.
|
|
is he on a cell phone? i dont know what else you'd do with that right hand... but i think it looks kinda awkward
|
 |
bad_nobe on Jan 19 '06 awesome design!
|
|
Wow 23 comments in a matter of hours. To those who like the design I appreciate the support. To those who have their own issues against the design, I don't know what to say except the preview was up under the blog forum for a while and any advice would've been appreciated.
To peppersRspicy: it has nothing to do with Hair, the Age of Aquarius had to do with Hair... this is The Age of Aquariums... that's the difference. To plans: you are a genius |
 |
i like the greeeeeeeeeeeen $5
|
 |
..><(((º> ...><(((º> ...><((((º> ...><(((((º>...nice

Gorgeous
|
 |
this is one of my favorite designs. i love what you've done here.
|
|
nice shirt design but you don't need to shamelessly plug your BLOG so much though.
|
|
I want this shirt hela bad. Most def $5 and would buy!
|
|
I REALLY want this shirt. In the blue, definately on black. Only suggestion: possibly add an antenna so the its definatley a phone, not to be confused with a gun when your wearing. Really Really want this shirt tho. 5$
|
 |
i'd totally buy this
|
 |
d3d on Jan 20 '06 i'm pretty sure i'd buy this, but i wish the guys elbow went past the frame a little into the last panel
|
|
I love it, I would buy it! 5! Keep it on a black shirt!
|
 |
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, NOT ONLY WOULD I BUT IT, BUT I WANT IT!
|
 |
Looks like a gun to me, and black t-shirts make me look stupid for some reason. I love the design and would be $5 if he was just standing there looking in without a phone (I hate cell phones).
|
|
<3 $5
|
|
oh snap, i love it.
|
|
Love.
|
 |
for some reason i really really love this
5$ (has to be blue though) |
|
I really like this if the design is blue. It looks like he's stuck in the tank and is shouting to get out.
|
 |
This is AMAZING. I love all of the blue, green, and teal options.
|
|
wow where did you trace this from?
this is so original i might shootmyself 3214t8124124-9omfg1`1`1` trite |
|
5$ that's it.
|
|
At first glace I was just like "Meh", but when I noticed the blue design on the guy's tee shirt I just fell in love. Usually I hate designs that are too box shaped, but this is an exception. I think blue is my favorite, but I'd want it in practically any colour. Black tees FTW.
|
 |
lovelovelove the fish! i have so been to amazonia, agent99. :)
|
|
haha that looks like orlando jordan!
|
|
Personally, the cell phone is what sold it for me, because I think it makes a statement. He's at a beautiful aquarium and is more preoccupied with the phone. Isn't that America if not The World these days? I knew it was a phone immediately, i had to look to see the gun thing. $5
|
 |
DeadPoetic_Underoath on Jan 23 '06 5$
|
|
diggin' it.
|
 |
i saw it as a phone, but now the gun thing kinda bothers me. i can tell it's not a gun, but i would want people to think it was if i were wearing the shirt.
i really like it, though. awesome colors. |
|
um. i mean i WOULDN'T want people to think it was a gun if i were wearing the shirt...way to say the opposite of what i meant.
|
|
this is lovely. $5
|
|
its cool i love it awesome job but if it ever gets printed because of the way its just one set frame it would look like an iron on..other than that the guy does look abit weird maybe make the hand abit thinner and more looking like a phone..then your set
|
|
It looks really good, but yeah, make sure it looks like a phone
|
|
That's coooooool.
|
|
VanGogh meets Costeau and it works as eye candy. I'd take the blue.
|
|
Ahahahah, Age of Aquariums.
Anyway, pun aside, it's a pretty cool design. |
 |
Nice design, I love the detail of it. Reading some of the comments though, I agree the phone looks too much like a gun. Considering that gets changed, I vote 5$ for the blue design and please leave it on a black shirt.
|
|
I'd buy this on blue.
|
 |
I agree with the comment about adding an antenna to the cell phone. It looks awesome on blue!
|
|
wow maaaaaan! i like it blue on black and 5$$$
|
 |
5. great. you gotta fix that phone though... kinda looks like a gun right now.
|
 |
PRINT!
