Fancy lettering inspired by illuminated manuscripts. Ghosted image is detail of the design, and not part of the print. (People kept asking me who "Mina" was...)

I like the idea that the word can be interpreted as a command ("You! Illuminate!") or as a noun ("I am an Illuminate"). I don't mean anything particular by it. If you're into conspiracy theory, I suppose the shirt takes on a different flavor altogether. =]

Might look nice with metallic gold ink in favor of the yellow.

I have a detail view linked in my profile.

That's great, all except not caring for the ghosted 'mina'. Aside from that, I'd buy it.

Verdana on Feb 23 '06

The ghosted "mina" is not on the design. It's just there to show a pseudo-close up.

could use more vibrant colors and the background shirt should be light blue or something.something bright to stand out

kk007 on Feb 25 '06

i LOVE this!

littlegreengirl on Feb 26 '06

Keep it on a dark colour.

Tundraworthy Tunnels on Feb 26 '06

lovely! I think you are dead on with the idea of the metallic gold en lieu of the yellow!

samanthasquared on Feb 26 '06

I really love the concept. It looks spot on illuminated manuscript, although I do agree about the word, perhaps it should be something that was usually illuminated? Such as the start of a story?

serafini on Feb 27 '06

i'm an artist/illustrator working on a new book & would love this shirt. is there an "i want it NOW" button?

Mazallykewhoa on Feb 27 '06

wow. this is ugly.

Cerebratious on Feb 27 '06

constructive and respectful, eh Mazallykewhatever?

this is pretty nifty. It's ornate to the max, and thats what illumated manuscripts are all about. Very intellegent. $4
