être à la bourre basically means 'I'm in a hurry'.
I've been told that Paris isn't really like this anymore, and that people don't dress all like beatniks and zoom around on scooters eating baguettes. But I hold such a Paris in my minds eye, and that's what this submission is all about.

I like this a lot, but I think the colour of the shadow should probably change when the shirt colour does. The blue seems to clash a bit...

design is great, but I don´t like the shadow >>> 4
lazesummerstone
lazesummerstone on Apr 28 '06
MuLi: thanks for the 4... but please don't hate the shadow, its really a important element! you don't realize that its not dislike, but immense love! I understand though, emotions can sometimes be confusing ^__^.

Pacific Rose

Nice picture, nice color choices, but wouldn't it be "Je SUIS à la bourre"?

i don't care if girls don't look like that in france anymore, i wish they did in australia. great character.

Pacific Rose: Yes. right now the translation reads "I to be in a hurry." Not to be a grammar nitpick...

Pacific Rose is correct.
I would love this shirt if "être" were conjugated correctly to "je suis".
lazesummerstone
lazesummerstone on May 02 '06
can't I just be vague? As in to say "To be in a hurry" who is in a hurry? the scooter? the girl? the shirt? you?
I'll Le-Shut-up now... XD
bonniebrett
bonniebrett on May 02 '06
same as the above regarding grammer... I would never wear a shirt in English that said "I to be in a hurry", unless I bought it in China or something and wore it cause it was funny - but this design isnt about humor, its about a steriotypical, dreamy veiw of Paris - where proper grammer is a MUST! seriously they're nuts about that stuff... I'll skip scoring it now and give it a 4 or 5 if the grammer gets fixed
lemontessa
lemontessa on May 02 '06
and i really like the girl too but i was thinking lose/change the shawdow from the moment i saw it too... just my opinion but i think it distracts from some of the details abou the girl, rather than making her pop out it kind of blurs her
lazesummerstone
lazesummerstone on May 02 '06
I cant really fix anything if you can't resubmit. ;_; so all these kinds of comments are totally useless. (well except for self improvement?)
PrettyLostGirl
PrettyLostGirl on May 02 '06
Whatever about the grammar, I live in NJ, and most people in Jersey don't speak French. At least not proper French.
=D
$5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eclectictastes
eclectictastes on May 02 '06
Oh! I see the problem with the "grammer." The end of the Vespa (tail light?) looks like a J, so it looks like it says "J'être."
And I like it vague, so that's even better.

I really like this design, the grammar is messed up but I don't think most people woul'd know that anyways. good work indeed.

looks cool

but i'd like if the person was a guy or if it is a guy make it look more guyish (sorry that probably isnt a word)

and maybe a little smaller

4$

Nice drawing, but I'd drop the text, make it smaller and center it more.

I think I like it best on white.

if this gets printed there should be an off-white version, cream sorta. I would get that for sure.
