About my design
by homero
so here´s the story:
this design´s been in my bathroom courtain for more than 20 years. i was about to throw it away but i felt bad about it, that much i like the whole idea and style of this design.
so i drew it in order to, you know, let it live on. save it from dissapearing.
hope you all like it! (there´s no need to explain, right? the gator is wearing a "person" shirt...) i think a tee is a perfect new home for him.
i checked everywhere so there are no legal problems.
greetings and salutations from argentina!

Nice tribute to izod shirts. Makes more sense on a shirt than a shower curtain. Was the gator wearing a shirt on your curtain as well ? $5

homero on Apr 28 '06
gee! thanx everyone for your votes and comments.
the design is basically the same as in the shower curtain, so i don´t wanna take credit for it (i´m not even a great designer, my previous submission speaks for itself).
this is more about saving a great concept from fading out. the retro style is because the curtain is actually THAT old.
long live the gator!

I bought a tshirt from a thrift store a few years ago that has a similar design to this.. It's a "tourist" shirt from florida..
Not accusing you of ripping off another artist, just saying that there are already tees out there with this concept on them..
Sorry
homero
homero on Apr 29 '06
well, the curtain´s label says "industria argentina" (that´s "made in argentina), i couldn´t know the existance of this version in florida.
makes perfect sense, with all the crocodiles and stuff...
guess i´ll kiss my chances of winning goodbye.

Este es el lagartín de Lacoste antes de la fama, hoy ya hemos visto en qué se ha tranformado: la bandera de la "gente bien". Fantàstica la remera, sería un perfecto uniforme anti-lacoste! Deme mil novecientas veintisiete!!!!

Why is everyone acting like this is a BRAND NEW IDEA?
It's not.

Aside from that, the drawing is OK, but could improve greatly. Where there are outlines, they are too thin & brittle. The gator's head is outlined, but not the rest of his body?

You did a nice job on his tail, though.

OMG this is soooooo lame, but might work on a baby's bib? Then it might possibly be seen as "cute"

I had a towel with this design.

a few days left for my submission.
after all those comments about this design being done and done, plus the references to its presence in shirts and towels and stuff, i guess my shower courtain wasn´t as original as i thought.
is this design a rip off? maybe. i began this thread saying it wasn´t my idea, i thought my shower courtain was old and unique, and ended up learning it´s a local version of some "florida gift shop" crap. heh.
so, i still like the retro style of the drawing. not enough for a threadless tee, right? "seguí participando", as we say in argentina.

This is old idea, but I like the alligator. I'd work on the 'man' icon, though.
