Great shirt. I also think it fits the Threadless Loves Threadless competition more than most of the entries I've seen. Good work! 5$

Great! I'd like to see the idea expanded on (more signs). More diversity in signs, really. Like an "Ea At J e's" sign...

Let me explain the concept. I wanted to create a tshirt using signs and typography in everyday life that normally go unnoticed. I also wanted to create signs found in cities, without using their usual surroundings, but rather junxtaposed with one another. Maybe now we will all take notice of the text we read everyday, but forget. So for those of you who hate text, im sorry by this might not be for you. Let me know what you think!

"Recontextualize" is such a pretentious word, but I can't really think of a better one. I really enjoy this one. Though it might work just as well as light text on a dark shirt. I can see this one making it. Solid five.

nice, but i'd prefer a total basquiat rip-off. :)

roarsara on Jul 06 '06
If you are going to compare my design to an artist's work, basquait wouldn't have been my first guess.

I love motel/diner signage and there is a bunny too! I would buy.

redglasscurls on Jul 06 '06
Strange, but in an awsome sort of way. I've never seen anything like this.

The bunny is from a great little tourist trap in the middle of the Arizona desert. It's a shop called Jackrabbit Trading Post on Jackrabbit Rd. in Jackrabbit, AZ (technically Joseph, AZ). You get a 5 just for using such an obscure icon from my home state.

I really like this. It's so different and unique. Definitely threadless loves threadless. Nice work. $5

yep, i was there. I'm excited someone recognized the rabbit.

The sun really makes this. Also, a cityscape in overlooked signs rather than in buildings: fantastic! Potentially, a sobering look back at consumerism in the days of yore: amazing!

$5! $5!

it reminds me of those william carlos williams poems that incorporate graphics into the text.
montmont

reminds me of Matt Sibers photography which does exactly the same thing..I've always like his photographs and the way environmental type plays together..I think you could have added more elements..
montmont
   montmont on Jul 09 '06
Matt Siber, not trying to bust your chops, but you might be interested in seeing a similar approach.
Andy Mason

whoever mentioned boxers.... threadless' mommy company has another website called naked and angry that makes boxers, ties, napkins and ibedspreads... i think... they could print this up if you choose to go that route.

montmont, thanks for showing me siber's stuff, it is very interesting- esp the floating signs proj.
