The Morning Commute!

This was actually my first idea for a threadless shirt way back in Sept. but I have just now been able to get to it. It is meant to just be a random cool graphic with an open interpretation, go ahead and make up your own and post it in the comments, haha.

This piece was influenced by a number of sources, the first obviously being medieval heraldry art, and then on down to James Christensen and Cringer of MOTU (that's where the colors come from).

Alternate titles:
Good Parenting
What with Today's Gas Prices
The Trophy Husband

Inneresting. Not being of the upper-middle-class white-coller male persuasion, I can't relate to the guy (at all, really)... but I agree with the cool graphic part!

superb

ya know, i really like, but i can't put my finger on why...which is the way with a lot of threadless shirts. so $5 it is.

cherrycoke on Apr 07 '06

Hellls yeah! $5.

ace illustration.

Rockslide on Apr 07 '06

Larger and sharper pic of this in my profile! Also you can see the original sketch for this pic. Plus a load of fun tiger facts like this gem:

Fun Tiger Fact: tigers are not only the largest of the cats but they also invented time travel and occasionally kill leprechauns for their gold!

pretty cool =D

Citrinitas on Apr 07 '06

Now THAT is a shibby picture. Take your well deserved 5, sir, and please flood Threadless with more designs.

Gringz on Apr 07 '06

great illustration man!

JAMES CHRISTENSEN
just because you mentioned him, i love you. i already loved the design.

jpiatt on Apr 07 '06

Amazing graphic!
Wow...
The only thing I wonder about is, why is there a trophy on the fishing pole he's holding behind him? That really confuses me.

LeeuhFace on Apr 07 '06

i like this and all of its' randomness

shadowboy on Apr 07 '06

Great illustration, but I'm disappointed that you couldn't come up with someone that Leenie691 could relate to, you inconsiderate bastard! 5.

rudra on Apr 07 '06

lovely random symbolic imagery.

elope on Apr 07 '06

it´s not random, since it´s symbolic... it depresses me a little bit.... i feel like him sometimes :~

lucyfarfort on Apr 07 '06

Fantastic illustration. very odd but still good

dylanv on Apr 07 '06

The colors are rad.

Inevitable Melody on Apr 07 '06

It's a really well done illustration, but I don't know if I would wear it on a tee. 4

But anyways, the image is great, wouldn't mind seeing it on something other than a tee.

reminds me of harry potter...

do like.

Rockslide on Apr 07 '06

haha, shadowboy that made me laugh. I guess its easier to relate to things like staffell's PB&J with faces.

Thanks for all the comments! I wanted to try something a little different, something a little less happy go lucky cartoony.

Heffer on Apr 07 '06

Nice change of pace. :)

Leslee on Apr 07 '06

Brilliant.

janell6267 on Apr 08 '06

To me it looks like 2 separate pictures. The tiger could stand alone. Very cool tiger design. Then the dad with kid and fishing poles on a separate design. I REALLY REALLY wish the tiger was by himself on a shirt. $5 for just the tiger.

Heffer on Apr 09 '06

This definately needs to be printed. The more I look at it, the more I love it.

Hezek the Destroyer on Apr 09 '06

Hot, very hot.

I agree that the tiger is awesome by itself, but I love the way the whole thing fits together. Like the tie and the palms and the tiger tail all being the same kind of shape. Love it! $5

breakhartsnfaces on Apr 09 '06

nice concept! it reminds me of a political cartoon. very meaningful: ]

Amalgamate on Apr 10 '06

Painfully, painfully awesome.

shnarfer on Apr 10 '06

it makes me sad for some reason...i guess because it's so true
