I love the idea, but you don't *think* about a lightbulb - it just appears over your head.

Unless I'm totally misinterpreting the design. In which case, nevermind.

shadowboy on Apr 12 '06

Lose the thought bubbles (not the lights) and it's a 5.

pinkmonkeys21 on Apr 12 '06

I like it a lot. I see what redsugar means, but it's not a big deal.

lisadee on Apr 12 '06

don't like the thought bubbles... otherwise its cool

ohdinosaur on Apr 12 '06

Robsoul on Apr 12 '06

I agree about losing the thought bubbles but otherwise another ... great idea that is well executed.

oh, glennz...

No. 45 on Apr 12 '06

i like it, by the way, but i agree with redsugar.

Depro9 on Apr 12 '06

You should go one step further, the LED will replace the incandescent very soon. ;)

(nottabadword) on Apr 12 '06

well done Glennz

MaroonMongoose on Apr 12 '06

"I love the idea, but you don't *think* about a lightbulb - it just appears over your head."

Its not that youre thinking ABOUT a lightbuld, its Edison creating the lightbulb, just like the cave man is creating fire. Candle...i think that came a little earlier than the 1600's (at least his outfit seems 1600's-ish to me)

millhaven on Apr 12 '06

AWESOME idea. i agree about losing the thought bubbles though, but really it's unimportant enough that i wouldn't care if you left em in there. this is just a brilliant shirt.

El_Dictador_Cubano on Apr 12 '06

1. Lose thought bubbles.
2. Why is the modern guy holding an umbrella? A club, a musket, an umbrella?

theperk on Apr 12 '06

awesome again glenn. btw: have you thought about it?

bananaphone on Apr 13 '06

i like it as is, the thought bubbles indicate thats what they are thinking about. Duh... seriously.

beeski on Apr 13 '06

WOW an original evolution design!! I LIKE this a lot.... $5

idris on Apr 13 '06

Rottenjellie on Apr 13 '06

hahah, well done once again

Ava Adore on Apr 13 '06

very nice

CMano13 on Apr 14 '06

Losing the thought bubbles changes the entire meaning of the shirt, so please think about it before doing so.

ohmystarsNET on Apr 14 '06

i like all your subs.. this one's lovely too

Posalootly on Apr 14 '06

Lose the thought bubbles and it's wonderful. <3

xtothesea on Apr 14 '06

I agree with a lot of these comments, the thought bubbles change the meaning. I think you should just get rid of those and then I'd buy it for sure.

vonstephen on Apr 14 '06

i know this would change a lot, but i would really really like a robot after the last guy, thinking of a laser or something futuristic.
that, i would wear.

newjerzey71 on Apr 14 '06

cool idea

but too many people are doing the evolution design

still its a $4

Art is Hard on Apr 14 '06

It's nice, but definitly not one of your better subs.

cirque427 on Apr 14 '06

great idea--no pun intended--however, the rigidity of the thought bubbles seems so out of place in this design--and additionally--very "un-glennz-like"

miraclemilemind on Apr 14 '06

Great idea, but I'd like it more without the bubbles.

I_heart_ducks on Apr 15 '06

meh, nothing special, but it still gets a 4 for an good design.

stolen_bliss on Apr 15 '06

I think colonists didn't think of candles. :P

Danies on Apr 15 '06

brilliant, but not original at all-5

ZeypheR on Apr 15 '06

The thought bubles give an impression of man's progression in lighting technology. Leaving the question, whats next? The suggestion of removing the thought bubbles gives it a nice playful twist, which to me, works better for a T-shirt. Great stuff.

ph33lth3lov3 on Apr 15 '06

the bubbles are all the same... it irks me.
i also like zeypher's idea.
cool concept! ^^

indicavia on Apr 16 '06

This is very cool! But I'd like it even more if there where a fourth figure with a LED over his head!

imusta on Apr 16 '06

the umbrella is tuff to change but it should be considered (unless u live in England or Seattle).
a briefcase would be logical (as the first two images have tools in their grasp) but the loss of symmetry.

how bout a pull behind suit case er what else

maybe just the umbrella

In the centuries to follow, wars shall be waged with parasols!

.onion on Apr 17 '06

cool idea, but the fire is badly done.
i think it'd be better if it were just the light bulb over the head kind of "eureka!" thing, except evolving over time... er. yeah. what redsugar said.

perfectly__unperfect on Apr 17 '06

Omg leeve the fire and shit like that but loose the thought bubbles then it would so kick ass!!!!!!!!!!

perfectly__unperfect on Apr 17 '06

Ok some people are crazy i love this! you know...the lightbulb comes on when you have an idea but back when they only had candles and fire ...haha its awsome

shirtflirt on Apr 17 '06

too cool

cowmasta13 on Apr 18 '06

Is this showing what type of lights people had, or is it playing off the cliche'd "lightbulb" that appears over your head when you have an idea? I love this design, but it's a little unclear...

nicole_l on Apr 18 '06

Sick!

forever_pantsless on Apr 18 '06

Paul Revere didn't invent the light bulb...

forever_pantsless on Apr 18 '06

*candle

Pass_the_mayo on Apr 18 '06

feli said she liked it. And trust me if feli said she liked it its a good idea.

ironmaus on Apr 18 '06

Seriously, lose the thought bubbles and I'll buy one right now.

JDu8s on Apr 18 '06

Great idea for a shirt (haha...get it...) but it would be so much better without the thought bubbles.

roundedges on Apr 18 '06

awesome

Nessapop on Apr 18 '06

very clever i like it 5

Nayeli on Apr 18 '06

Judging from the third man's silhouette there were already light bulbs by his time and age.

I believe a more appropriate hand gesture would be the index finger pointing towards the sky, hand a little farther from the face and head tilted slightly upwards.

The white bubbles would be smart to drop as they actually seem to make a few people (Nayeli, are you serious, or being sharp-tongued?) misinterpret the illustration, as nicely pointed out by ZeypheR. Without the title present I suppose this will be even more the case.
Removing the bubbles could also mean one less color and make production slightly cheaper, but I guess it will be useful to give the bonfire, candle and bulb a nice contrast to the body silhouettes. Also, some lines radiating out from them would help to give the impression that they just appeared in the air.

Anyways, this is superb and I'd buy it!

Jorgen on Nov 08 '06

Oh F*ck this sub was old! Well anyway it was my first comment in here so I'm excused. Thank you.
