this is a series of t-shirts dedicated to the classic ones of world-wide Literature. My fashion classics

I'm sorry. I understand this whole classic series you're doing, but it's gotten extremely boring for me to see the same style with different people over and over again. I'd love to see something different.

it's a serie... but, if you don't understand it thus it, is useless that you understand the proposal... anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't like the drawings, simply to "criticize" them you must understand the proposal and the proposal is: a SERIES of pictures on the basis of a certain style.

To somebody it will like certain personage without for that reason it must like ALL the personages.

Best for you.

Stop being so pretentious. You put these up for public criticism; don't patronise people when they oblige. If tracerbullet finds your style boring, that's a problem with your style not his understanding. This place is a shop not an art gallery. At least have the good manners to listen to your customers.

drip, drip, drip...

drip the words, cambert

"the problem" is not mine, man, don't worry for me, thank you

please cambert, give me your link for view your designs, thanks

ugh, not again.. i mean the arguing, not the design. this one is interesting, better than some of the others. i do not know this author at all though...



so far, i like the series you have done, but don't geta an attitude with the people who comment, it will not serve you well to get a good score.



just curious, is english your first language mred? there might me some issues with not understanding peoples' comments if that is the case. a lot of times a person's tone gets lost in writing, especially if you don't speak the language .

Heres something to think about.... you cant create a series unless they all get printed, your whole proposal will be lost if one even gets printed. This is by no means a place for "serious" artists... this is mainly a hobby for most, well atleast me.

mred, seriously, enough with your signature in your designs. there is no need to have the name "ed" in every frickin one of your pieces.

I understand that it's a series, and I understand your "proposal." My criticism, however, isn't about your idea to make an entire series devoted to literary classics. My criticism is that the series is almost exactly the same style. Though your proposal is based around a "style," I think it would work much better if instead the series was based around a theme (in this case famous writers) instead of a style. That way there's more room to experiment.

whoa kids!



mred, i really like what you did, i think the designs are strong, graphic and very interesting. tracerbullet...while yes, they can be said to be linked by a certain graphic thread, if you're not digging them great, you don't have to look at them. don't force yourself to look through his series and then rag on him for doing something different. cambert...dude, seriously. yes this is a public forum, but a designer does have the right to stand up and try to clarify what his pieces are about.

The complete serie is great and full of style, thanks mred for your art!

Yes, I say let the man do what he wants, this site is for submitting designs and that's what he is doing. Why so much player hating going on around here?

i wanted to be nice to you.......youre a d*ck though....you obviously have no sense of whats going on here...this isnt the place dude.....take youre pretentious starbucks pseudo college intellectuall gaywash and put it somewhere else

just the fact that you think you can get angry and defensive after willingly putting your work up for criticism is retarded enough in itself......youre such a douche

go hit on a confused 16 year old and quote descartes to make yourself look worthy of life

what a poetry man! thanks for your words! you're the best one! (and the best one fascist too)

Oh, I'm not ragging on him at all. I think his idea is exceptional. I actually was just trying to offer some constructive criticism that perhaps using multiple styles would help to better achieve what he was going for. I have no ill feelings toward his work at all :-)

im not a fan of the big drips

holy cow. do you people listen to yourselves type? everyone needs a chill-out pill. it's tee shirts for crying out loud...

HAHA! This is getting fun.







Again.



DRIP=ZERO!!







Learn something new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's difficult to take seriously someone who is wanting to create a series of literary-themed shirts and cannot properly use a colon. A colon is used to separate two kinds of clauses: an independant clause, and a subordinate clause or sentence fragment.



Also, allow me to teach you a word; the word that you really want here is "bourgeoisie". When people criticise your shirts, call them "bourgeoisie pigs". Then you can appear both pretentious *and* cliche! It helps if you can affect a fake Parisian accent at the same time.



Finally, some constructive criticism: all of your designs are the same, and none of them really have anything to do with the writer featured on your shirt. (The possible exception to this is your Herman Hesse shirt.) If you really wanted to celebrate these writers on great t-shirts, you would create a design that made a statement about the individual and his/her work. Anyone can make a series of portraits and add in some circa 1966 pseudo Art Deco design. But why the f*ck is that relevant to each and every one of these very different writers? It's not!



But what do I know? Ah ahm bhut a bourgeoisie pig 'oo ees not feet to peek yer nuz!

PERFECTLY SAID.



You'll never get anywhere in life if you don't listen to other people and act like a sponge: absorbing all the information and improving yourself with the good advice. Acting like you are far superior to the rest of us will NOT win you any good votes. Just my 2 cents.

Heffer, i think you are hilarious, but i'd like to point out that you are good at using the same gag over and over as well.

yes copy and paste!

just a little note.



and i'm all for a little debate, keeps life interesting.

though i do agree that some of these shirts could be nice standing alone, i think the series as a whole is a little much.



i'd like to see some of your deisgns outside of this series. you have a nice style.

WAY too much time on your hands, people. Simmer down.

Hehe. You got me. Thought I'd beat my point in to him. :)



The drips 'll probably keep a comin though. :)

how many ****ing designs did you submit ?!?!?!

yes, marguerite yourcenar. where here is reference to her works? as the other authors in the series have.

IMHO, The drips doesn't go along with the portrait design.



There is one huge drip for the black portrait.

Kinda distracting from the portrait itself.

i like the idea of the series; however i feel that the designs are poorly executed for the most part. i'd like to see a little bit more about each person as a writer, or even as a person, in your designs, and less advertising of your name. that's not what this site is about.



and, aristarchus: the word is "bourgeois", at least as used above with "bourgeois pigs". "bourgeoisie" refers to an entire group, as a noun. "bourgeois" is the adjective. so concludes the French lesson for the day.

TL, DR.



love your designs.

thanks, Liza!
