What the?

JazzyMouse on Jun 27 '06

oh, its referring to artists being able to draw perfect circles freehand. i think.

iheartmap23 on Jun 27 '06

hahaha id buy it just to have an etch-a-sketch on a shirt

C_ROK06 on Jun 27 '06

haha. yea. i don't think this works though... the etch-a-sketch is awkward... and i'm not a big fan of free floating objects (if that makes any sense. haha.) good idea though.

kvp on Jun 27 '06

IMPOSSIBLE!

Lenki on Jun 27 '06

cute. i think it might be better centered- its just a bit too big to be on one side.. thats just my thoughts.

bigcow on Jun 27 '06

this can be even chosen! LOL! joke of the month!

ploppyseed on Jun 27 '06

I love this! I actually think it works better without the signature.

cheerios91 on Jun 27 '06

Ha. It's IMPOSSIBLE to make a circle on etch-a-sketch.

ahhh i love it.

wijnand195 on Jun 27 '06

hahah hooray for the etch-a-sketch shirt! very nice concept as well $5

human_no110289 on Jun 27 '06

i wish it was centered on the shirt

TipsyGiant on Jun 27 '06

da vinci was the first artist to be able to actualy draw a perfect circle, as this is impossible on an etch e sketch he has signed it in the bottom right hand side.

i had original notes but alas they disapeared.

it can be repositioned to most popular placing and other colour options could be made available if popular enough to change from white

TipsyGiant on Jun 27 '06

zoom on profile

chelly on Jun 27 '06

cool, keep the signature imo

mnkyhead on Jun 27 '06

centered definitely, and a different color shirt.

benearts on Jun 27 '06

The myth of being able to draw a perfect circle is about Giotto, not Leonardo. Sorry!

Oh, and that's not even a circle, it's an ellipse.

ethicka on Jun 27 '06

AMAZING!

tough_kevin on Jun 27 '06

what *** fuck?

marmalade_skies on Jun 27 '06

i love it. circles on an etch-a-sketch=impossible.

PeachNLimeDaiquiri on Jun 27 '06

I love the idea.

This one just doesn't work.

I think the etch-a-sketch needs to be more...

Detailed. Maybe??

soylamorsa on Jun 27 '06

I love it! Maybe the etch-a-sketch could be tilted or something?

teechers_pet on Jun 27 '06

A FEAT INDEED!

schonste on Jun 27 '06

Fucking awesome.

Also, I don't really think it matters who could draw a "perfect circle"--the fact that it's a famous artist with a circle on an etch-a-sketch is good enough for the majority who will be LOOKINg at the shirt.

$5.

lizzer32luvsu on Jun 27 '06

$5!!!!!!!!!!

Ethilien on Jun 27 '06

it looks too iron-on if you know what i mean

briggs_e on Jun 28 '06

i like a lot.

ElphieTheWicked on Jun 28 '06

Pretty sure that doesn't even look like DaVinci's real sig...

TipsyGiant on Jun 28 '06

where i got the signiture from, which i hand traced with slight differences due to an unsteady hand

Jebs on Jun 28 '06

hi tipsygiant> very very clever idea, but it was not Leonardo, it was Giotto in earlier centuries, who did that (as someone mention it too)...anyway, the joke is good ;-) 5$

TipsyGiant on Jun 28 '06

well if i had paid attention in art class instead of smoking certain substances behind the PE block i might have known that, and my art work might get printed lol

thanks for the kind words jebssie

Jebs on Jun 28 '06

eheheh tipsy ^^ i did the same in my art class at the university too, so i understand you dude! i go further to see your next artworks! see ya.

KC on Jun 28 '06

i like the idea

inevitabilmente on Jun 28 '06

Leonardo was left handed, and wrote from right to left.

The perfect circle was made by Giotto.

Try again, but be sure of your database.

bexxxxx on Jun 29 '06

center it and on a differnt clor shirt...,maybe more scribble as well.....

chrisdesign on Jun 30 '06

Leonardo is famous for it though and it wouldnt work with without the signature. wow it's like a private joke. love it. �5

punchtank on Jun 30 '06

I like it, but I agree with an earlier comment that the etch a sketch looks awkward.

SarahBellum427 on Jun 30 '06

One thing no one has said is there must be a line from the circle to the signature or vice versa. I really like the idea and design but A) it should have the proper artist's signature B) there should be a line between the circle and the signature in order to stay true to etch-a-sketch physics.

carazuri on Jun 30 '06

oh wow. I would buy it.

$5

vbl88 on Jun 30 '06

THIS IS EFFING AWESOME!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$5

F3RN on Jul 01 '06

Hah, cool.

It reminds me of the 90's.

nunzilla on Jul 01 '06

Crap! I was literally just about to submitt a design using a etch-a-sketch... oh well.... i give you props for the leonardo concept... well done... id def. center it though :)

fleursdeVert on Jul 01 '06

this would be cool as just a plain etch a sketch and one of those washable fabric markers so you could draw on the etch a sketch. realize that's not the point of the shirt...
