just my opinion but...

It seems a little too busy.
I'm not sure about the colors. Pastels and grunge? also, the "grunge" itself seems a little too photoshop brushy.

Did you photograph/illustrate the girl? If so, you did a good job. I think this has potential but it just needs a little more work.

BTW, Is that arabic text in the background? If so, what does it say? (i've never been good at identifying different languages)

i likes it bunches 4

What is the purpose of the Arabic? It's a bit offensive.

why? what does the arabic say?

^ yeah i'd also like to know what it says before i go sporting this aroud...

i hate the distillers.

Ok, absolutly no Photoshop brushes were used. I drew the girl by hand using a marker and no, it's not the girl from the Distilers.

The dirt is strips of paper that I've photographed and then taken the shades and vectorised them.

The text is Persian and reads "go to hell". If you find it offensive then fuck you, it's meant to. If you don't find it offencive, sweet, you are a thinking person.

That's about it. Enjoy.

Um, why is it that a "thinking person" wouldn't find 'go to hell' offensive? Does the phrase 'go to hell' have some deeper meaning within the design that I don't understand? 'Cause I doubt it. It just seems like pointless angry-teenage-style bullshit.

What ddcrandall found offencive wasn't the message, what he found offencive was the existence of "arabic" on a T-shirt. Personally I find prejudicism offencive.

Besides that, it's all in the interpretation. Is the message pointed at the person wearing the shirt or at the people reading it or perhaps to all the people looking at it without understanding (like ddcrandall for example)?
Depending on who wears it and who reads it, it can have different meanings. Are you saying "go to hell" to all Persian speaking people or are you saying "go to hell" to everyone else?or do you simply not care? After all, it's just a T-shirt, right?

...Um, yeah. Good stuff. And also "prejudicism". I just figured it out -- you're George Bush, aren't you? Or maybe just his speech writer.

very nice, maybe different colored tees?

You know what I find offensive? The fact that you spell 'offenSive' with a 'c'.

Other than that, pretty cool shirt. 4

rock on distillers and drain the blood!

Um, Larchie and all you spell checking geeks... this isn't my first language, so please go whine somewhere else. Stupid me for thinking this place was about making nice graphics...

hahaha... sixten you will find it is far from that, some very over critical people here. Anyways i like where your going with it, but it has a nazi feel to me... im not saying anything, it just says "skinhead" when i look at it

Okay....I think it's a cool shirt and you did a really good job on it.

Everyone needs to chill. And Sixten, if you're going to tell people who get offended to 'fuck off' then you're not going to get very far on this site. It's not just about nice graphics, it's about creating universal concepts which appeal to the most people possible. Believe it or not, every one of these people's opinions counts whether they are rightfully offended or just being plain stupid, and you have to take that into account.

I don't particularly like this design anyway, but that's just personal preference. The image seems too large on the shirt and too angry for my taste. I also think since the style is very organic looking, that it would have worked better on an earthy color like sagestone or khaki. However, it obviously had a lot of time and work put into which I admire and it's still a neat design even if I wouldn't wear it.

this picture is clearly a depiction of larchie anyway... haha

Nah...for some reason, I just don't think "skinhead" when I see Arabic ;P
I think the design is great, and if it's telling others to go to Hell? So what? There are people that walk around with "B!tch" stencilled across their chests, why should this be so offensive? There's an edginess to this one, which I like, and the curves of the Arabic script help add to its beauty - the words become part of the art. It could use a bit of cleaning up, as far as the girl goes, but other than that it's fine. Good work. Like Cheesecake noted, it probably took quite a bit of time...and it might look better on an earthy tone.

Yeah I agree, the color choice wasn't that great, I'll leave it up to the Threadless guys to decide on what colors to use if they choose to print it. I'm not really happy with the placement either, I should have made it a bit smaller and up on the other side of the chest instead. Oh well...

is that the chick from point break?

i think its bad ass though... when people talk shit, its best to just keep your mouth closed though, you know what they say loose lips suck big (something arabic). keep the higher ground you know.

the chick and the squigly brush underneath her are all you really needed.

very lovely.

i agree that it's retarded that someone was offended by the presence of arabic on a shirt...but your explanationwasnt much better. whatever. the point is the shirt. overall i dont like it much but i'm impressed if you actually drew that yourself. 3

Sixten! As in the stencil artist Sixten?

^ if so ...u are AWEsome.

lol @ the guy who finds the arabic language offensive.

dude.....i like it ...i would buy it....fo shu

Love. 5

i think itd be rad with just the girl and the scribles... but what do i know.

I'd prefer it on grey, or khaki.

i like it but yeah how about your design on a grey, red, green or more darker colored shirt instead. it has a punk rock artsy feel but the baby blue makes it seem like a kiddie or teen-bop shirt. the design looks awesome though!

I used to date this chick. She was a great fuck, though all the dark eye makeup got to be a bit much.

lovly work mate...

half these people are wankers.

I choose not to wear heroin addicts on my shirts, thanks.

That lady seriously need to trim her pubic hair.
It is out of control!

I have no problem with anything in this shirt except for what mezo said, it looks like she's got a huge pube problem, and a giant hair pick is stuck in it. =P

haha mezo

I don't really get it, bt it's amazing. I'd go with colours that pop a little more though, personally.

hehe, don't be scared of the bush boys.

looks like that green day guy in a bikini
to me at least......

a litte to big on the shirt

i wish i was her. wait a minute. i can be!

i don t dig the stripe design and message

this is cute

Not a big fan. The girl and the design below her look like your average pretentious indie kid t-shirt design.

The text is just dumb.

First off, ddcrandall is an idiot for saying it's offensize just because he/she thought it was Arabic.

Second.. it's too bad sixten couldn't get his/her point across because of translation. Don't jump all over him.

Third.. everyone chill out.

Fourth.. I think it's a great design. It would look better a little smaller, but the placement I think is ifne. I'm even ok with the colors.

Loving the white stripes in the background. The girl is not good and the type is just wrong

Most of you people are so fucking lame if you find that having any arabic on a shirt offensive maybe we should get rid of your language alltogether if you dont want it written anywhere its just writing how is it predjudice?

I'd buy it
