You know? I don't even care that you used standard brushes and didn't try to create your own. This is a decent design. Not something I'd buy...but it's ok. Maybe it's the colors used, or the negative/positive space play. Just try to be a little more creative next time.

I _hate_ you for submitting this before I submitted mine.

=p

That being said, um... It's a really cool idea, lol. Not crazy about the institutional bathroom colors you have going with the salmon/sick green/grey, though.

i'd like to think that the apparent chaos and confusion of urban tagging or whatever you want to call it, actually has a very fresh sense of identity and esoteric language. i get the brush strokes are meant to repreasent the real, colorful, vibrant underside of the city that gives it it's actual cultural?

...this is the exact same as my crow except worse.

I think people just hate it so much because they hate me...
Since...um...it's really not THAT bad.

Killerlamb: your crow wasnt that good yeah it had the same concept but this one was better executed. I'd definately wear it!

The white and pastel one is a little too 8O's looking, but not in the good way. Sorry.

Cool overall concept. I like the way the scribbles emulate blurred electric lights. On the lighter colored shirt, the teal color seems to dominate the left side, but the black one works well, especially the bright green...kinda like the trails of a glowstick. Plus the black color suggests the idea that the city is silhouetted which is I think probably your main goal.

No killerlamb, your's was definately worse, if nothing else because this guy at least used interesting colors. however, this is still bad. I'm sorry, i just don't find sillhouettes in front of scribbles that interesting.

It looks way better from far away. I'd like to say this sucks but it's decent.... I guess....

Just a correction to the title: it should be Aurora Urbanis, not Urban Borealis, since "Borealis" means "Northern" (it's used when referring to the Northern Lights- the ones in the Southern Hemisphere are called Aurora Australis) and "Aurora" means "Dawn" and would be referring to the lights. I like the design though, and I prefer it on black.

thank you habodes for your insight into the mening of Aurora Borealis. I do like you title better since it makes sense. I was just going for the play on words thing.

I would like it better if the scribbles actually looked more like aurorae.

cardcastleruins on Apr 05 '06
well the scribbles werent ment to look like the aurora they just kind of gave me that vibe.
Killerlamb
Killerlamb on Apr 06 '06
I say the crow was better executed, at least the colors meant something and enhanced the overall effect, the only problem with mine was that you couldn't see the crow very well...

killerlamb if your design is so good you dont have to keep talking it up and saying yours is better than mine. I give yours props but dont put mine down. Please stop using this comments page as a forum. thanks

i love the black version.

inayellowsub on Apr 06 '06
ughhh but nothing annoys me more than a submitter who comments constantly on their own submission blog....

please. just let people show their opinions freely without judgement. that's how threadless works.

You know what, killerlamb? I have decided I hate you. You don't submit many t shirts. I've never seen one of your t shirts, except crow. And all you do is slag off other people. People want constructive criticism, not condemnation!
By the way, I'd give this t shirt 2, because I'm not so fond of the colours. But I like the negative effect
