Great idea, i like it but not sure i would wear it, although maybe if it was on a diff colour tee. Seems slightly off centre

make the cactus in a traditional cactus shape and it would be a $5. right now it reminds me of a spikey sock puppet.

I agree with theworldinyour_eyes. with the cactus leaning towards the balloon too!

This is great...
I mean seriously... great....
ONLY thing I don't like is the cactus shape, if it had another part comming out looking like another arm instead of making it look like a head....

the catcus shape doesnt bother me. i still think the spikey, ballon impossiblity is still clearly expressed.

that's such an awesome idea but i wasn't sure if it was a sock or a monster coming out.
then i read the comments and was like "ooooh cactus..."

Why did the cactus bend? For a balloon that can easily extend its height thanks to even more string which is coiled up on the ground, that solid, sturdy cactus should not be forced to bend over--clearly, it is the bitch in this relationship.

$5 anyway. Adorable.

I'll be the first one to say it :

No text, please. The concept is great
and easy to portray without text.
Let the picture do the talking.

Beautiful idea, but please redo it with a stereotypical cactus instead.
Supernaut
Supernaut on Apr 25 '06
I think it's best with the text, just in case some people might not get it.
I'd definitely wear this on a different color tee, but I'm not so sure with how it is now...

Either with a 'traditional' cactus shape, or put the cactus in a pot as is. They do come with no 'arms.' Sometimes. I like it without text. $5
Elitestest
Elitestest on Apr 25 '06
I relate to them more than I would like to, but it's not tragic so much as it is "AWWWW how sad". Great job

ahahahah that's great. I think it's better with the text because it makes a lot more sense. But without the text it's still good. =)

I agree, otherwise nice design. =)

the cactus reminds me of Ross' work where the man is on the water and there is a big "thing" behind him.

This is totally cute. Different color shirt would be better, maybe light blue? Orange might be cool too. Also agree with others that maybe making the shape more traditionally cactus-esque would be better.
Kaboomenstein
Kaboomenstein on Apr 27 '06
I'd preter it textless. w/out the text, I just have an image of them moving together toward the inevitable. Very nice anyway!

RAR! I just started a cactus/balloon sub yesterday! I've been toying with it forever! But this was rather well done. I still might submit mine, though....

I like this a lot! I would join in and agree that I wish the cactus had another arm sticking out. I rather like the text, though!

And it DOES look like a sock puppet. Great design, maybe a bit too girly for me however.

xsarsx

i like it even if you dont fix the cactus. you can still tell what it is. its green and has spikey things all over it. what else could it be?
and leave the text.

Emmaline87
Emmaline87 on Apr 30 '06
I love this, even though I couldn't tell what the cactus was at first. I'd say make the cactus more clear and don't use the text, but I'm still marking it 5 + buy.

i was in the mall today and walked into Anchor Blue (www.anchorblue.com) which is a sort of Forever 21ish store and I'm looking around and I overhear a girl go, "oh! impossible love.. how cute." Upon the wall I see this EXACT SAME design on t-shirt selling there for about $25.

Reminds me of Johnny Cupcakes and Urban Outfitters.

I've seen this before sold at Stance... like a year ago with the same "impossible love" and cactus and balloon. just the cactus looked less weird and it had an overall more vintage look.

so who stole from who?
