very nice candle, and a good idea, but very few people are gonna realize that its a moth on the ground with out the text on the shirt. I like it with the text you've got there, and the flame spirals behind that. Just the candle and moth isn't enough.

you might also try having the moth just catching fire and fluttering around like crazy...if there is any good way to draw that.

It's really a nice drawing of a candle. Didn't get the moth thing. Also, I know wearing it would mean a million people going "Look, your nipple is burning."

Basically the analogy is "Like a moth circling a flame" The moth is so hypnotized by the flame that he doesn't realize it will kill him if he gets too close. This scene shows the moth soon after he has lit himself on fire and died, thereby putting out the flame he was so enthralled by.

Wow, I thought that was a tiny witch hat and was some obscure Wizard of Oz reference...

I think the shadow may blend with the moth on windows monitors more than it really would on the shirt. If you're looking at it on a Apple monitor it should be visible that its a moth with a shadow.

The shirt colour, the placement, and the style are all wonderful.

Thumbs up!
