jrmasm on Nov 13 '06 I don't know what else to say other than $5.
|
 |
your illus really superb!!
|
 |
the idea is really good, and the execution is even better.
|
 |
I love this, such a great idea. :D
|
 |
Great concept and execution... $5
|
 |
Skipper6745 on Nov 13 '06 I would probably say you are the most brilliant and technically best illustrator on Threadless. Your work is amazing, 5$.
|
 |
amazing!!! you have my $5
|
 |
HOLY CRAP! $5
|
 |
Ridiculously well done. $5 and many cool points.
|
 |
AMAZING DRAWING, shirt.... eh :/
|
 |
That's insane! Although maybe it would have been nicer just to see the guys working on it and not the wall and the guy reading the newspaper.
Anyways, this design is a well deserved $5. |
 |
Monkey II on Nov 13 '06 you should do illustrations for magazines etc. It's awesome.
I personally don't wear shirts like these though. Respect |
 |
very, very good all around.
|
 |
Awesome, just awesome. And I don't think it's a newspaper, I think it's a blueprint (to eclipse's comment). I'd absolutely wear this. Great job, though I'm sure you must already know that. $5
|
 |
herky on Nov 13 '06 super illustration and execution. I think the other fellow is reading a "snowflake blueprint" not a newspaper btw. I also think the walls are essential to the design (kind of like an office workspace).
|
 |
WOW. The detail in the carved-out parts is just brilliant. I don't think I'd wear it, but 5$ anyway, cause this needs to be printed
|
 |
wow, thats beautifully done.
|
 |
intricate...
|
|
Totally wicked. Beautifully made, $5.
|
 |

jpiatt on Nov 16 '06 This is STELLAR! Wow, this is....I need this in a hoodie or long sleeve shirt to wear in the winter. I need this NOW! $5!!!!! Print this ASAP Threadless. Please!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 16 '06 i am SOOOO glad to see all the 5's and $'s as i scroll down to hoist copious amounts of well-deserved praise about this design. I'd like it to say "NO REPEATS" a little bigger or have it stand out more so people can instantly understand its meaning, but maybe there is no way to improve perfection. Incredible. 5+$$$$$$$$$$$$$etc.
|
 |
definitely a five, hoodie would be amazing
|
 |
oh wow,
instant print! $$$cha-ching$$$ |
 |
I like it as an illustration, not as a t-shirt. But kudos for your vector work, outstanding.
And by the way, it is disgusting how un-lazy you are. |
 |
gorgeous!!!! I need to rock this one!! I agree - no repeats needs to be bit bigger.
|
|
cbuchholz on Nov 16 '06 Thanks again everybody for the comments! Thanks for the suggestion about the size of the "NO REPEATS" sign, although I tend to like it the size it is. I didn't want the sign to be a huge dominant part of the illustration, I wanted it to be more like an extra detail you discover after looking at the tee more closely. Kind of like a small "safety comes first" sign you'd see in a picture of a factory warehouse, if that makes sense. Right now I agree that the sign is too small and hard to read, but if this were to be printed I think it would be large enough. Again, thanks for all the comments!

kaloyster on Nov 16 '06 Now that's CLASS!
|
 |
bortwein on Nov 16 '06 They need to just skip the rest of the scoring time and just print this in time for Mid December. 5$

Wow, cool!
|
 |
very nice, $5
|
 |
$5 great concept, and brilliant execution.
ps the text on the side reminds me of a bright eyes song. just a random side note, but yeah, i dig the sub. |
 |
literally cool. Awesome!!
|
 |
Right On! I too love the story that goes with it. It makes the shirt even better. I would buy it.
|
|
cbuchholz on Nov 19 '06 Thank you all for the comments! I definately had alot of fun working on this, and I'm glad you guys appreciate it. Good call "appear my dear"! The words "careful hand with an absolute concept of beauty" are a partial Conor Oberst quote.
|
 |
This would be my first purchase if printed. Simply amazing.
|
|
cbuchholz on Nov 20 '06 Those are big shoes to fill! I have a ton of respect for glennz, and I have a long way to go before I can ever accept a comparison to him. Besides, I think we have a similar style of illustration, but he has a sense of humor that I could never imitate.
|
|
I know one engineer scientist who would love this...Thanks!
|
 |
Wow! how original, I ike this a lot. Very funny, very well done!!!
|
 |
Settin' stand-art!!
|
 |
This is ridiculous and by that I mean ridiculosly good. Now I see where all the artistic talent I was supposed to be born with went to
|
 |
Nice!!
|
 |
Nice score there! I'm pretty sure we will be seeing this one pretty soon! :)
|
 |
spires on Nov 22 '06 Missed the opportunity to score, but does it matter? $5
You have stellar talent. |
|
bortwein on Nov 22 '06 They have to print this in time for x-mas...
|

I'm commenting long after I scored because I critiqued it in the blogs so now I'm rehashing it here:
It is a fantastic illustration but the concept is overwrought. There's too much detail. The arresting and powerful part of the image is in the people carving the ice block. The rest is unnecessary and doesn't add much to what's already conveyed by the central image. We know no two snowflakes are the same. The wonder and beauty of a handcrafted object is that no two objects are the same. That's all right there in the central part of the image. The sign is actually a snipe of condescension that kills a bit of the magic. No skilled artisan in the world, except maybe one with an unimaginative, soul-sucking, Dilbert-esque boss, would have a sign on the wall of the studio saying "NO REPEATS". The design only needs the third man looking at the blueprint to instead be leaning over the left corner of the ice block with the blueprint spread out in front of him so we can see what it is. Anyway, all that other detail will be lost on a t-shirt which is seen 99% of the time from a distance of several feet, often in passing, with wrinkles in it, so ditch the numbers, which aren't hand-drawn anyway. |

cbuchholz on Nov 22 '06 Thanks everyone for the comments! Maija, thanks so much for the critique above! In response, I'd like to say that first of all I'm proud of the design and glad that so many people enjoy it. But with that being said, i actually agree with you in some ways. I think your points are valid, mainly due to the fact that my description of the illustration, does not entirely fit what's going on in the illustration. The description creates the feeling that these are skilled artists, simply doing what they have come to love. Your absolutely right in saying that no artist of that type would need a sign reminding him to be creative. My ORIGINAL idea though, and the one that led to all the extra details, is that these are simply skilled craftsmen, or factory workers, performing there every-day perfunctory duties. So take away the misleading text, and perhaps you'll get a better idea of the concept I was after. Fortunately, if this were to be printed, it would not have my text on it. Thanks for your well thought-out comments Maija. In my opinion, receiving constructive criticism from designers all over the world is one of the best things about Threadless. And by the way, your Gesture of Protection design is incredible.
|
|
I'm glad you appreciate the critique and I hope I didn't sound too harsh. I'd like to see more constructive criticism being passed around on Threadless because I appreciate getting it too. I spend enough time in a creative vacuum. Yours is a masterful drawing and a magical concept. I imagine it's way up there on Threadless' print radar. Thanks for the compliment too.
