Homage to the irony of Mt. Hope Bridge. Lovely landmark, high suicide rate.

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 07 '06

what is just above the black flower on the lower left of the design...it seems to be some kind of evil sumo Mickey Mouse character! All i can say about this design besides that is, ahhhhhyyyeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

A flower?

I grew up on the border of Mass, RI in that area, so that makes me biased. Great concept.

You need the text, here. No one will know the Mt Hope reference otherwise.

haha nice humor!..but loose the rare thing above the flower, and if u can the flower too!! has nothing to do with the suicide concept. that would be a nice shirt to wear..

haha, my brother goes to roger williams and lived in the hotel dorm on the other side of the bridge last year. so many funny drunk dials where he was walking home, playing chicken with on-coming traffic. funny idea - $5

I don't like the flower, but otherwise it's nice.

snittleface on Nov 08 '06

i bet 90% that jump off that bridge, jump from broken heart syndrom

I agree with most on the dismissal of the flower, but it's my home, so more importantly, thank you.

Thanks for all the support so far! A word about the 'flower'. I wasn't trying to only get across 'suicide' per se, but the irony of the bridge being called 'Mt. Hope' and people using it to kill themselves. The strange justaposition of concepts justifies the flowery shape. Also, compositionally that left side of the design needs an anchor/weight to establish the movement of the bridge. If there wasn't a flower there per se, there would be some other bold shape. That flowery shape matches the type and makes sense conceptually.

I love the humor and the history behind it, but I am not sure many will get it and it looks a little like those shirts that they sell at Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle, change the font and more color.

therecouldbenothingafterThis on Nov 10 '06

i love it how it is.. i like that color...

Unicornsareawesomex on Nov 10 '06

CAN I PLEASE BUY THIS I'LL PAY LIKE 10 BUCKS OR SOMETHING

xxemokitty7xx on Nov 10 '06

there's a documentary coming out about the suicide rate on the Golden Gate Bridge in SF. it's the same kind of idea. interesting to put it on a shirt though, somewhat creepy.

make the person falling off more subtle, then it would be perfect. Maybe farther in the background, or without the flower, and definitely without the "line" of fall. Absolutely great otherwise.

i live in RI. you are the man!

MooseDinner on Nov 12 '06

awesome. good color, even though it's not something I'd wear

snittleface on Nov 12 '06

love it!

lillyd on Nov 13 '06

wowww, cool
great tee color

claire-obscure on Nov 13 '06

i love this! especially so as a new englander, but i think you have found a perfect balance between too much design and too little. the ONE and ONLY thing that bothers me is the dotted line! it just seems really out of place, being the only white bit in the whole design... other than that, great. :]

snittleface on Nov 13 '06

the dotted line is my favorite part. i really hope this gets printed!
