are you kidding me?

it's obviously mick jagger (LIPS!) and the next guy is recognizable. and the last two in line could use work, but if the words mount rockmore are on the shirt people would get it.

like any caricature you are not producing a realistic likeness but exaggerate prominent features i.e. Mick's lips, Keith's craggy face and glasses, Ron's spiky hair, and charlie watt's grin.



If it helps, I used this photo as a reference.

I knew who they were, but I don't know if I'd buy it with the text.

maybe if you rearranged the figures so they assume the position of the heads on the actual Rushmore?

only jagger is obvious. i really did think that was ray charles and it confused me. now that i know it's just a rolling stones image, the puns are making me throw up a little.

I think the main problem with the caricatures is that they basically don't have chins, which gives Jagger in particular a horrifyingly Leno-esque appearance. For guys that skinny even in old age, the no-neck thing really throws it off.

thanks everyone - I appreciate the comments. It certianly presented a challenge to try and create carcicatures within an already defined shape.

Since detailing it more seemed to lose its rock shape I chose to go with the simple lines and all in gray scale.



FYIMy actual refrences were the stones and EASTER ISLAND not Rushmore.

The Stones need to retire and this shirt wouldnt help that. 2/5

i hate the stones. nice idea, but i wouldnt buy it. if you wanna resubmit this doing up the faces more recognisably would be a plus.

sigh - I'm not a real fan of the stones either. I thought of this while looking at some photos of Easter Island and I thought the only stones as old and decrepit were the Rolling Stones.



It's not suppopsed to be a portrait. Like Easter Island the figures are more an archetype than a potrait.



Nor is it a pun.



Subtley doesn't really work on here - does it?

According to my source, a pun is "the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound". And that concludes the vote of the Norwegian jury.
