great idea... maybe use a small, simple telescope with a tripod instead of a giant floating one.

I agree. I like the idea but the telescope is way too big. Interesting juxtaposition between the 2 styles.

Jennifurret on Aug 09 '06
Yeah, if the telescope was smaller, and maybe the person was holding it so it wasn't floating, I'd totally buy it!

great idea! i love van gogh and would love to be able to add this to my collection of art history dork shirts.

bleedsblueandgold on Aug 09 '06
i agree that the telescope needs to be a bit smaller, but i love this shirt otherwise. van gogh's "starry night" is my favorite painting of all time.$5 with or without the telescope change, most definitely!

thanks for the comments so far people, i'm glad you like it!
as for the tripod that some people request, believe me, a tripod is a bad idea. it originaly had one and it looked like poopy. then i adopted the magical floating scope looking at the magical starry night.
tried a smaller scope too. just doesn't balance too well with a small scope. it needs to reach the sky.
There's my two cents.

oops didn't notice the small man below the telescope at first. i'd take him out.

I think the telescope is just too big. I love this, though. Still a buy.

I'd also like it better with a small telescope. But great idea.

Great work. How about replacing the kid with an artist with paint brush in hand standing in front of an easel?

not liking the van gogh rip off thing
specialdave
specialdave on Aug 09 '06
so if a band does a cover of an old classic it's a rip off, not a trubute?

I love that painting. Very clever indeed. I would definitely buy this if I was not poor as dirt. Hell, I'll buy it anyways.

The telescope could be smaller, sure, but I'd definately wear this.
great idea. :]

I like the telescope big. If it was small the design wouldn't be as interpretive.

Alex M. Solefish on Aug 10 '06
i am so glad that there's a tiny figure looking through the gigantic telescope--or else, i would have agreed to make the telescope smaller.
i would buy, as is, on navy.

I thought at first that the telescope was a syringe and the stars were being injected into the form of a kid, i.e., we're made of star stuff. which i would totally buy. it's a nice design as is, but i'm not sure about the strange telescope either. i don't mind that it floats, it just doesn't tell a story. navy
childe
childe on Aug 12 '06
i meant, if the telescope were also a syringe and we were looking straight at that from which we came.

I love the tribute to VanGogh and the colors are amazing, but the telescope just doesn't seem right to me

Take off the big telescope and it's a buy... leave the little stargazer though. Love the Van Gogh reference.

i'm in love with this. i don't care for the telescope though...even if it was smaller. i think you could get rid of it completely and just have the boy left gazing up.

without telescope, $5

according to astronomy/physics/quantum dynamics?... we are made of star stuff \
we're all stars... :D:D ((happyhappyjoyjoy))

i like the contrast between the langauge of starry night rendition and the more sleek geometric telescope..
although it think the telescope needs tweakin...
maybe only use one blue tone.. the dark one.. to flatten it out more... you can still keep the top "glass" part with the reflection of yellow...
or there are probably other approaches.. but the telescope could contrast even more with the stars...and ether of the night sky...

i could see it on sale at nature stores and at planetariums and such ... discovery zones/maybe stores for teachers...
good present for your science teacher :D

it's really nice.. but I can't help but feel that I can remember the moon and clouds from a van gogh painting.. am I right?
TYP
TYP on Aug 15 '06
yes you are.
To me it seems to be a combination of two completely different styles.. and the telescope looks really awkward... but hey, the rest is cool.
chocolatecello
chocolatecello on Aug 15 '06
this is amazing, but i agree with everyone else - the telescope needs to be changed just a bit

love it i'd buy it and I like the fact that the telescope is huge and without tripods (remember no one understood vincents work until after he was dead so maybe if you want to get this printed.....)
