Kojima on Jul 27 '06 great message
|
 |
I love it but maybe a bit bigger.
|
 |
that's pretty clever and i really like the colors
|
 |
I like it a lot. Well done.
|
 |
good message, though i wouldn't wear it
|
 |
I would like it without the "heal the divide" on top. I didn't think there was much animosity between the states, except for that whole Mason-Dixon thing.
|
 |
I like the idea, but not the colours.
Blame Bush |
 |
Nice design. Maybe the letters within the states.
Wouldn't it be f##ked up if the stitching was red? |
 |
red stitching would make me cry.
but i like this a lot; i think it's very cute. |
 |
California and Florida should be hanging off.
Orange thread would co-ordinate better. Or, darken the states. |
 |
i like this a lot.
why would it be fucked up if the stiching was red? |
 |
ryeofcali on Jul 27 '06 ok so i did some other colors . please check out the link below to see them and for a CLOSE UP view. thanks for your comments:)

has no one else noticed the oversight of alaska and hawaii. talk about "heal the divide!" i say thread the both of them to the side of the mainland U.S. and what was serious gets a humorous twist. maybe have HI hanging by one thread a few inches away
|
 |
hope it's not corny.
I'm a cynic. Sometimes. I'm afraid I do find it corny. Art's cute. |
 |
i don't know why people get so mad when people say this...sometimes it's just true
i think your illustration is really great and it just doesn't need the text might be cool if it was more ssewn in text like with a needle or something anyway i like it |
|
I like it. I'd like the t shirt if it was blue (like water) and the land was green... the stitching would have some more contrast to show up against then.
|
 |
i like the design for the most part. the font isn't really to my liking though. Maybe do the words in cross-stitching across ath bottom? and i agree with dyecaster, alaska and hawaii need to be included somehow.
|
 |
I really really like it, but I try not to buy white t-shirts, put it on some other colors.
|
 |
Max F on Jul 27 '06 i really like your job ^^
|
|
divide? perhaps the beam...
|
|
I still don't get it. Are you talking about red vs. blue states? I didn't think they were enemies because of their opposing viewpoints... If I wore that shirt ppl would ask me what it meant and I wouldn't be able to tell them. However, without the text it is left more to the viewer's interpretation but overall would still mean unity.
|
 |
I'm thinking adding Alaska and Hawaii would be a prime idea as well. Poor Alaska and Hawaii, they are always overlooked...
I agree with you dyecaster, why aren't people noticing this? Anyway, I'm extremely cynical as well, and I don't find this corny. The colors could use a little work though since they seem too light on the white shirt. And on a side note, Bush didn't start any divide between the states. It goes way back people... |
 |
yeohgh on Jul 27 '06 NICE,,I LOVE IT!! how about making the whole world map for your next one?!! $5
|
 |
Not a fan of the text and i'd like to see it a lot bigger on the shirt. even if it has to wrap around it or something. putting things right in the middle ain't the greatest.
Also, white shirts tend not to win. |
|
Um, too drum circle hippish...sorry
|
 |
love the idea.
|
 |
Have some long strings wrap around to the back
where Alaska and Hawaii would be included. I would like to suggest you remove the text since the image would make it look like all the states have problems with their neighbor states - and I don't think that's what you were going for (maybe I'm wrong). If you colored the states red and blue to represent Democat versus Republican then the text would make sense. |
|
ryeofcali on Jul 27 '06 i like that suggestion about stringing hawaii and alaska on the back Helo! and i am thinking that the text isn't necessary since it is making everyone pigeon hole it on red vs. blue (which is merely only one division of many that exists in this country).
And the go to below link to see different colors, and also the color displayed above is not white. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/RALAMILLO/?sc=3 |
 |
I really like the idea of stitches holding borders together, but I think the idea might work better if the stitches held together countries, instead of states. I dunno, just a suggestion.
|
 |
If the states are all one color, what's to heal?
|
 |
this is so appealing. i love it. i'm for no-text.. but it doesn't bother me enough that i wouldn't buy the shirt. in fact - i think you should make it the same style as the thread.. awesome!
anyway, i definitely think if you did another for the countries it would be the best! $5 |
 |
i dun like the text fonts
|
|
So, if all the states are blue, are they all republican or all democrat? (I forget which was blue and which was red last election.) Maybe the idea of green states on a blue background would sidestep that issue. I really like the stitching graphic.
|
 |
bananaphone on Jul 27 '06 execution is great but as a tshirt i am pretty meh about it, especially not being an american.
|
 |
I agree with whoever said maybe next time make the whole world map stitiched together somehow. I dont really see a "divide" between the states.
Nicely done though. =) |
|
We do need to bring this nation together is a spirit of love and tolerance. Except West Virginia. I just hate West Virginia so much!
|
|
nice, no text necessary
|
 |
i like it alot,
the colors are perfect. |
 |
great concept!!!!
|
|
I love the little bows. Nice detail on the ends of the strings.
|
 |
i think it's pretty cute ... and i really love how theres like little bows ... very nice design ... $5
|
 |
i really really really like this.
|
 |
maybe you could do another one with texas gone and mexico sewn on the bottom... now that would be funny
|
 |
i like it better wothout the text and bigger. that would make it better. but i more get the message of "come/stay together" like the us is always one even with the hard parts and all. iono just an idea.
|
 |
me wantee! And I'm not gonna say to remove the text or change the color because frankly guys, it just doesnt matter because in the end, if it wins, threadless can change it. just vote on how you think it will do. Therefore, I give it a $5 and have added it to my list of shirts that I want to be printed
|
 |
i like to imagine people wearing this shirt during the civil war - and they'd all walk around saying "why cant we all just get along."
|
 |
i like it!!
i give you a $5, but i think it would be adorable to have hawaii & alaska and the color scheme on this page is the best out of all of them |
 |
i really like this, great style
$5 |
 |
no text. but its an awesome design!!!
|
|
Agreed, great design, 5$.
|
|
LOVE IT! Btw, I'll stand by the text. The message would be lost without it and that doesn't mean this is a bad design it's just that this is a heavy theme and it's very difficult to get it across on a shirt with no text. Without it, I don't think I would know you're commenting on a divide. I might just be like, "Oh, America's a big quilt... that's... boring. What's that, like the 'melting pot' thing?"
But I love the Hawaii/Alaska idea. And I also think that red-stitching (only if the text is still there) would be awesome-- a bit kitschy, maybe, but I think there's already a hipness about the shirt so a little kitschiness wouldn't kill it. Plus, kitsch/vintage is kinda cool. K just some thoughts, but even as is 5$ |
 |
i like it.
not such a fan of the text, but i see what people are saying - it does help get the point across. can you play around with the placement? and make the text the same color as the thread. all in all, great though! |
 |
i really like everything about it.. the colors, the stitching detail, and the message... please make it bigger to show how sweet it is!
|
 |
JY x JS on Jul 29 '06 It doesn't need the text... may be bigger and on a darker T-shirt. Great idea.
|
|
i actually only looked down the comments to see if anyone had mentioned alaska and hawaii. glad several someones did. :) you could lasso them, or something. or an arrow trailing thread. all sorts of possibilities...
|
 |
hmmm...good for politically involved individuals. or ... people who like stitching. i am neither. but good design.
|
|
This Idea is great it does need to be a tad bit bigger but I love it you've got a excellent message. props. for you. i'd buy this shirt.
|
 |
I agree with the majority of everyone... I think green on blue with text and hawaii and Alaska (on the back was a great idea) but overall, I really like it
|
 |
cool idea. the bows are cool.
|
|
I thought it said 'hide the divide' at first, which I find a much better slogan. I agree with adding Alaska and Hawaii somewhere, and a thread colour change. A good concept overall, though.
|
 |
Does this remind anyone of Regrowth: Katrina?:
http://www.threadless.com/product/304/Regrowth_Katrina I know it's different content and everything, but the stringyness and the cursive lettering made me think of it. I like this one though... and I agree with the whole adding Alaska and Hawaii thing. |
 |
i wouldn't buy it, purely because i'm not american - but it's a good concept and looks pretty. :)
|
 |
I don't really agree to add Alaska and Hawaii. They aren't near the US geographically, and this isn't neccesarily a politically correct map.
No Heal the Divide at the top Like the colours, the design, and agree with the message. Don't change this much please :) |
|
Blue=Democratic, but it's a darker blue typically.
I don't think it's about party division either. Also, no red stiching. Or letters in the states. The green isn't politically affiliated with much, and if you don't know the states of the US without letters, you won't get the message. |
 |
I'm not american.
BUT I LOVE this. $5. |
 |
I don't care for it much at all; I'd much prefer a stitched together world.
|
 |
Andy Mason on Jul 31 '06 it would be cool if you had alaska and hawaii all dangling way down at the bottom of the shirt, like hanging all seperate
i think it would have alot more meaning if it was the whole world. there's alot more conflict needed to be healed. or even just the middle east... you might need some stronger thread though |
|
text needs to be gone, it's not that I have an issue with text in general, i just think the text would make people assume the shirt is saying all the states have strong issues with eachother. i like it because i think its saying, we may be different states yet were the same country and we should stand by eachother. and the inclusion of hawaii and alaska would better it.
but.. if this was the entire world, and the different countries were stitched together, I would love it so much more. because I would love to see the end of the borders and for us to all live as one human body instead of having different nationalities. and the stitch would show that we are one body put together instead of different bodies that are just geographically together. |
|
There really arent very big rifts between states.
Oh well. |
|
i don't like the text. cool stitches if made bigger.
|
|
ryeofcali on Aug 01 '06 thanks again everyone for your comments! a lot of people want a stitched together world map, in my head it is sweet, but damn!, it would take a looooonnnnngggg time to sew up the world-literally:(
on a side note, just want to clarify, i am not commenting on literal rifts between, say, delaware and iowa, because there aren't any. the map just symbolizes the usa. There is a red state blue state division-granted, but also there was a lot of division between white and black, haves and have nots in the aftermath of Katrina that i was thinking about, which i also wanted to be addressed by this design. |
 |
bad idea
|
 |
Why should someone not coming form the USA put on him this t-shirt?
Ok for Katrina, ok for pranormal, but... why should we all care about USA? PS: Instead most of you are worrying about Alaska... |
 |
woah! that looks pretty cool.
|
|
I think I prefer it without the words.
Love the design, though. $5 |
 |
take out the text...too preachy. but the illustration is very very cool! poetic.
|
 |
aweee, i like it.
|
 |
hey man now i remember ... this was the class just before lunch but after recess.
|
 |
"might be cool if it was more ssewn in text like with a needle or something"
I like that idea, but either way I like this design. 5$ |
|
Ok, I love your design and I think you are a great artist...but I still don't see any type of divide in the US. I have friends in all races, social status, sexes, political parties and many different states. One of the reasons why the US is so great is because we are NOT divided, and that we can overcome anything.
I don't know, to me it seems a bit anti-American because it isn't spreading the truth. I wonder if any of our soldiers would where something like this....the answer is no. |
 |
i would prefer it without the text, but love the design
|
|
ryeofcali on Aug 02 '06 unamerican!!?>??>???..............wow!
i didn't realize my design, which advocates peace and getting along with one another could be so subversive :( (in response to blueteach) |
|
Your t-shirt says "Heal" which means there is something wrong with the US.
Someone who would create a t-shirt design based on a disgruntled opinion of the US can be viewed as a person who created an anti-American t-shirt. It's not rocket science. Now if you were to lose the text, it would imply that the states of the US are stitched firmly together, which would be a pro-American message. I think we would nearly all agree that this would be better. Please don't take this offensively, I'm just giving you the other meaning of what this text could portray. Like I said before, I like your design. |
 |
"heal" has a very positive connotation. really lovely message. america, just like the rest of the world, could use a bit of healing. its patriotic to recognize and express this. $555. make it a bit bigger perhaps? and great job!!! really thoughtful.
|
 |
i like it with or without the text, i would like to see alaska and hawaii though
|
 |
with or without the text, I'm a fan
|
 |
nice, but, not the whole world is american........
|
|
The majority of us are American here.
And well, there are certainly large differences at least in the different politics practiced between the states. Moreso, she is displaying a positive message about unity of the UNITED states. It's not Un-american to suggest we aren't divided as a nation. It's realistic. Freakin'...."the united states has no political differences or problems in the government!" |
