the tee color is natural, had to be an off white to make the colors work.

$5 I was part of some child study when I was little and while everyone else wanted to be a doctor or ballerina, I wanted to be the Wicked Witch of the West

Love the idea, but I'd get rid of the podium.

Liberaltarian on Aug 17 '06

I agree - it would be better without the podium

El_Dictador_Cubano on Aug 17 '06

please print this! I love this design, the idea, the creature, and everything else about this sub. 5$

onemoredaemon on Aug 17 '06

no podium please!

the protos on Aug 17 '06

like the concept but it's too cluttered. All you need is the kids and their thought bubbles.

The alphabet, chalkboard, and podium all need to go.

imbrilliant. on Aug 17 '06

it's an adorable idea,
but i agree- it's a bit cramped.
the alphabet&& the podium,
scratch them- the chalkboards
cute though.

pixel_dust on Aug 17 '06

I hereby join the podium-hating club. It makes it look like they're standing in front of a rectangular tree.
Otherwise, 5$.

RedLoki on Aug 17 '06

I guess I am coming around to the podium removal crowd, although the chalkboard helps set apart the thought/speech bubbles and I am still partial to the alphabet. For what it's worth, both the alphabet and the podium were added for similar reasons, namely I wanted to emphasize how young/small the kids are. If I got the chance to make changes though, I would do it without the podium.

I love "When I Grow Up" by Garbage.

JxE on Aug 18 '06

This would've been great for Little Miss Sunshine

minor king on Aug 18 '06

lose the podium, ceneter the three kids or add another girl or something, and you're set!

amzalama on Aug 18 '06

this made me smile :) I like

ModestyIsKey on Aug 18 '06

I agree with the podium coments.

ma17 on Aug 18 '06

= imbrilliant

dickmack on Aug 18 '06

ridicuously funny. i'm definitely the kid on the end.

nathansu on Aug 18 '06

Nice, all over it. $5.

Matuso on Aug 18 '06

When I was little I wanted to be a traffic light.

holytoledo2 on Aug 19 '06

I like the concept. Not sure you need the classroom setting. You could have all three kids standing anywhere and it would be funny. Keeping the "When i grow up..." line of course. Great style though.

davidmerriman on Aug 19 '06

just the thought bubbles and the kids

RedLoki on Aug 19 '06

Here's an alternative one with no podium. I still like the classroom setting and the idea that he's about to be presenting this, so I kept the chalkboard and letters to emphasize that it's young kids presenting a report at school, plus it's a convenient place for the "when i grow up"

12monkeys on Aug 19 '06

heh. i like it. it just bothers me that the "bubble" on the left doesn't look like the other two bubbles

squirrel of doom on Aug 19 '06

cthulhu makes me giggle a little maniac giggle.

dietpoison on Aug 20 '06

I'd get rid of the "when I grow up, and maybe get it on a darker color, but I really like this.

Khol on Aug 20 '06

wow, i love this.
keep the chalk board and the alpha.
loose the podium and its a buy

carazuri on Aug 20 '06

one time in social studies we watched this video about russian kids and this one seven year old was like "I want to be a vacuum cleaner when I grow up."

this made me think of that.

and I laughed.

slaterock on Aug 20 '06

hahahah, this is great! love the style!

ShortyGotGaaame on Aug 20 '06

Awesome!!!

5$

DaintyBuffalo on Aug 21 '06

$5

but no podium!

Misanthropy336 on Aug 21 '06

I love the alternate one without the podium! Gave this a 5 and marked "I'd Buy It." It's the raddest shirt (that's still getting scored) I've seen so far. Good job!
