About my design
by cbuchholz   
Science attempts to explain why snowflakes form with intricate designs unique to themselves, but I prefer the notion that each one is individually carved by a skilled artist with a careful hand and an absolute concept of beauty.

Comments and criticisms welcome!

eclipse-designs on Nov 13 '06
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.

you should do illustrations for magazines etc. It's awesome.
I personally don't wear shirts like these though. Respect

Maverick987 on Nov 13 '06
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. $5
herky
   herky on Nov 13 '06
super illustration and execution. I think the other fellow is reading a "snowflake blueprint" not a newspaper btw. I also think the walls are essential to the design (kind of like an office workspace).
Leslee
Leslee on Nov 13 '06
WOW. The detail in the carved-out parts is just brilliant. I don't think I'd wear it, but 5$ anyway, cause this needs to be printed

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.

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.
yallli
yallli on Nov 16 '06
gorgeous!!!! I need to rock this one!! I agree - no repeats needs to be bit bigger.
cbuchholz
   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!

   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.
