Homage to the familys whose loved ones are in service at war, and to the red cross for keeping those loved ones in touch...

melhel86 on Apr 25 '06

it looks like none to live...

i don't like the line coming down from the yellow fish at the top. The line threw me off when reading the word "drawed". cute though.

Jenn.Pollack on Apr 25 '06

It is a great idea it just not reading well!

jar_bombadillo on Apr 25 '06

i thought he'd been murdered or something. in the letter it should be more clear that the dad was at war. it's cute, but a little two specific for a tshirt, i think.

Badgerr on Apr 25 '06

I think that's a bit too depressing to wear on a t-shirt. ):

cherrycoke on Apr 25 '06

I don't know whether to puke or cry. Sorry.

no thanks, to gay for me

megruth on Apr 25 '06

beechcraft11 it's too gay for you

i carnt spel on Apr 25 '06

yeah its a little challenging to read... Did some research, and had my little relatives write me a few notes, and thats pretty much how they came out. Its all about the ends of the letters.. the swishes that excite the kids...

cassiepaige on Apr 25 '06

It's really a cute idea, but it made me thing the dad was in jail for killing someone.

boobookittyfuck on Apr 25 '06

i like it, but i agree that it looks like none instead of hope.

i carnt spel on Apr 25 '06

You guys have made a couple of good points. If the clarity is an issue i would be happy to fix it. On the other hand I kind of like the idea peple are thinking up different scenarios, just as long as the your conclusions convey a message of hope hummanity and compassion .

thenks heps for the helpful comments... keep'em coming

"Glurge"

theworldinyour_eyes on Apr 25 '06

i don't feel sympathetic, i feel like i've just eaten three pounds of something very sweet and sugary that makes me want to puke.

i carnt spel on Apr 25 '06

yummy..

montmont on Apr 26 '06

I'm not really getting any homosexual references from this like what that person above said.

bananaphone on Apr 26 '06

bad idea, inappropriate idea

given the context of the contest.

pILAMY on Apr 26 '06

too sad.

Brett F. on Apr 26 '06

^^agreed. this is a really depressing shirt!! =_(

cocoabunny19 on Apr 26 '06

it sounds really similar to a tape they played for 911 at some point.. a little girl was reading a letter to her fireman daddy that died. too sad for me.

Annamary on Apr 26 '06

I honestly thought it was meant to be a letter to a dad in prison until I read your comment.

pinkeyecandyapple on Apr 27 '06

whether its meant to be a letter to a dad who's dead/at war/ in prison, i think the idea is really dark and emotional. i like it. but i just wouldn't where it. it'd make a cool album cover concept for a political punk band. i give you a point or two.

Zool_1985 on Apr 27 '06

Too depressing and long for a t-shirt design

DairyFairy on Apr 29 '06

too much.

ZombieUnicorn on Apr 29 '06

=(
This makes me sad.
I love how it really is a childs way of thinking.
But whats up with the verticle line think?
A fishing line?
I like it, though.

thingoneandahalf on Apr 29 '06

this makes me want to cry

shirtflirt on Apr 30 '06

maybe if i was gonna give it to a child
i'd dig
this seems out of place here.

OddButStillAdorable on Apr 30 '06

thats a lil heartwrenching

lizsays on Apr 30 '06

this would make me cry every time I wore it

i carnt spel on Apr 30 '06

wow... thanks for all the comments.
like it or not... its certanly getting some strong emotional feedback which i dindt expect for a tshirt design. Could be why some people think it doesn't work. Still Its encouraging that everyone is finding it different from the usual stuff...

ps. be sure to check out my other two subs now scoring... cheers

Borgy on Apr 30 '06

it's a good idea, but i think you should kind of simplify the concept. instead of having a letter, maybe just have a kids drawing of fish or something and at the bottom write "to Daddy."

or have a kids picture of a family, with the dad in an army uniform and it can say "I love you" or something.

again, great idea. it's totally sweet.

love-lee on Apr 30 '06

this shirt is soooo sweet!

i carnt spel on May 01 '06

very good ideas borgy... i strated thinking about this one about 4 hours before the red cross deadline... if only i had u as my helper monkey i think their could have been a significant improvent...
might try and rework the idea in the future:)

JordanMacKay on May 01 '06

It's totally worthless unless the letter was written by an actual little girl. I wear political shirts but I wouldn't wear this, it's nothing new.

dacase on May 01 '06

hahahahahaha

i carnt spel on May 01 '06

hilarioussss... of course nothing is new einstein
