Excellent idea, the only thing holding it back are the shirt colour choices.

oceanna - don't know what you're talking about - another design like this??? I did this illustration originally back in October, so I'm no copy cat ;-p



amble - what colours do you reckon the shirts should be? I wasn't 100% sure about the colour choices myself, so I expected some question like that :-)

Just as this submission came up, "Embryonic Journey" came on on Surrealistic Pillow on the turntable behind me. Hur.

This design is either going to intrigue or disgust people. Sorry, but I'm the latter of the two...

Bree - I can understand where you're coming from. However, I think you may have misinterpreted the ideas behind this design.



Ancient folklore suggests that apples increase a woman's chances of conception. I've linked this idea to the womb-ilke structure in which the seeds of an apple are held. The 'children's book' look the the illustration is no accident...



Apples themselves are very representative objects and can stand for numerous things in different cultures. The one thing that remains the same throughout folklore is that they have always positive connotations.



So, erm, I wasn't really going down the cannabilistic route ;-p

very nice, but i feel maybe it's just a tad to big!?!
Grecian Max
Grecian Max on Jul 06 '06
marauder - LOL, I know. I'm new to threadless, so I thought you could only put the shirt templates in the presentation, rather than have artwork seperate (stupid, I know). So I made them big so you could see the apple better...



Here's how the placement should be;

Max - I replied to this in the Loves Threadless comments, but in case you don't check back....



I didn't mean to imply you were going for a cannibalistic message, obviously you weren't (thank goodness!), but some people may see it that way no matter how innocent you intended the message to be. That's the only reason I scored it low... because it could be taken in a bad way and I wouldn't want to personally wear a design that could be misunderstood.



Oh, and one more thing... I didn't realize this was your first submission. Nice job on a first sub, and good luck on your future designs!

The way I interpretted this was that humans come from nature.

Or nature/apples affect humans.



Which is sort of what you described the folklore as.
