Great illustration, but doesn't work as well on a shirt as some of your other subs. Some of the touches in the background are nice, but they don't add much to the design, and really distract from the boy and his octopus - which, by the way, is BLOODY FANTASTIC.
You're still one of my favourite designers on threadless. 4.
I'd like it much better without all of the extra stuff in the background...WAY too busy. I don't know what to focus on, my eyes/brain are going crazy trying to figure it out.
Personally, I'd just have the kid with the squid.
