For all those collectors of lawn art you see in your neighborhood, and for the gnomes.

I like it, but the gnome doesn't look gnomey enough

so cool, but the placement needs to be a bit lower.

it looks like a nativity scene

$5, because my neighborhood is a principality of the Gnome King! The Vigin Mary around the block, several metal colored globes, and one St Francis statue!

if the gnome's hat was pointing straight up, this shirt would own.

I love this idea... but I guess I want a tiny bit more realism, especially on the St. Francis.

colored globes? i've never seen those before.. that's like a new low.

very good idea for a shirt. i agree that i wish he were a little bit gnome-ier, but the viewer can easily figure out it's a gnome and even that it's a gnome kingdom after looking at the whole design for a little bit

I agree with everyone else, as a collector of gnomes, his hat should point straight up. But otherwise, this shirt is very awesome, as tacky lawn art is cool.

I like the idea of the pointed hat....and i love the title...hopefully based off of King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King"...yum.

Sheer brilliance, and I agree that the gnome needs a hint more gnome-y-ness...

Also, I have to say, maybe it's just where I live, but I've never seen a Virgin Mary on someone's lawn in the summer.

I see Virgin Marys all the time--not to stereotype, but I think it's a relatively common thing for Hispanic Catholics to have.

And I <3 this shirt.

All the gnome pictures I looked at on garden statue sites have floppy hats - the pointy hat is more of a travelocity travelling gnome thing, and I didn't want to copy it..... but if you guys want a pointy hat I can do a pointy hat!

I know Mr Francis is not very realistic, I ain't the best illustrator ;-) But what do you suggest for him? I'm open for changes and ideas!

Virgin Marys are all over the place here in denver, it is indeed a very hispanic catholic thing. I did a virgin mary cause I tried a water pourer female statue (think greek style) for the queen, but that failed miserably! I am glad you guys can recognize it as a V.M. though!

The globe things are called gazing balls, they're actually quite pretty - some are colored clear glass with swirls in them, and others are shiny metallic that reflect your garden, quite cool. There's a lot of them here, "tasteful" lawn art I'd call them.

Oh and the placement can easily be changed, the little shirt is not exact, but yeah, definitely want it centered

Oh and I'm really proud of my deer, fyi ;-)

I really like this idea and the overall composition. The clouds look a little sloppy, though. Tighten those up, even out the edge on the lower right, and you got a $5 from me.

You forgot the black jockey holding the ring. Also empty beer cans everywhere.

a really great idea, but i dont like how it is closed off... it should be an open design and maybe the characters could be a little more recognizable. i wouldnt have understood it if i hadnt read the title.

i know the inspiration was like your neighborhood and stuff, but i was really really reminded of this old board game called first four games. anyone? anyone else?

love it, but the she-gnome makes it a little too nativity-like. The flamingoes, however, make it a 5$

i like it, but i dunno if people would really get it just glancing at it. i don't know, maybe it's just me.

i get it. i do. but i think the shirt should be a different color

I will like this better on a subtler background colour - I do not like the big contrast against the dark background t-shirt

I didn't get this at all until I saw the title. I think the shirt would be perfect with text.

OMG this is amazing!!! As a former member of the lawn ornament/ gnome liberation front (loglf) I will seriously cry if this shirt does not get printed

It kinda looks like its about jesus and mary beacuse the gnomes are too round. It kinda reminds me of LEGOS allthough i'd wear it.
