Thought I'd do an illustrated t about the loneliness of a daily commute using some krazy kat style color palates. One of these days... we wont have to commute alone.

I like the illo and colors, just not contained in the box shape.

MooseDinner on Nov 14 '06

I agree with cpdesign.

jessifuzaki on Nov 14 '06

As cpdesign. It's a great illustration, you just need to find a way to make it blend in without restricting it to a frame.

AsStarsGoOut on Nov 14 '06

it's a nice picture, but it's not for a t shirt . . . .

Samtricks on Nov 14 '06

I agree with cpdesign :) otherwise, nice design

mezo on Nov 14 '06

Typically, I'd agree with framing. And this might work well without one. BUT here it's not bothering me as it feels like a tourist snapshot and I think it works. You have really great linework and I'm enjoying the small details (I have a hoody that says ZERO, too!) but I have to ask....did you mean to make the lady look like Hilary Clinton?

DeadPoetic_Underoath on Nov 14 '06

fantastic 5$

greendaygirl80 on Nov 14 '06

omgomgomg!!!!!!! i was just about to say, the girl looks like hilary clinton, and then i saw mezo's comment!

herky on Nov 14 '06

great illustration and colors

LongLiveQueequeg on Nov 14 '06

i love public transportation!! bout time someone made a metro shirt....however, i wish there were more color options. it looks great on orange, but i bet it would look nice on burgundy, or even brown tones. 5 either way

amaliaslash on Nov 14 '06

wow, you did so much depth, even with the color description. 5

really nice design, great detail. The box bothers me though, T-shirts in a box look like those shirts you get printed at some kiosk in the mall.

pickledbib on Nov 14 '06

the framing lends itself to this design... great detail & colour palate... nice work.

katolms on Nov 14 '06

great illustration- hate the box

joannchilada on Nov 14 '06

I like the box. The design is fab fab

R G on Nov 14 '06

cool I like it like it is

Ellsswhere on Nov 14 '06

hmmm... its a GGGGreat illustration says tony the tiger!
but i dont think tshirts look nice with a box printed on them, reminds me of iron-ons and people that print off a family portrait for their family reunions and stick them on shirts... i think you are selling yourself short and could find some way to get rid of the box

gustavoq on Nov 14 '06

great, but remove the marquee, blend the design with the tee

Jennifuhrer on Nov 14 '06

why are Hillary Clinton and Joe VW on the subway together?

Joe Harding on Nov 14 '06

agree on the box shape

cowboydan on Nov 14 '06

Awesome design, really, but the box kills it.

miz_pocky on Nov 14 '06

I love it...but the box does kinda kill it....

Sweet.and.Snarky on Nov 15 '06

I like this. Too bad I hate orange. :D otherwise pretty good...not such a fan of the box either.

Sputnik13 on Nov 15 '06

I don't have a problem with the window: it creates a juxtaposition between an illustation and a photo. I love the monochromatic pallete. Killer! $5

_miche on Nov 15 '06

keep the idea of framing the illustration, but instead of a box, have it be like you're looking through the subway window from the front of the car (like the windows you have in the very back)

polynothing on Nov 15 '06

Thanks miche. That's a really good idea!

sugarkitten on Nov 15 '06

I like it, i dated a guy once that looked like that

billyphatu on Nov 15 '06

I like the colour of the design. I'm not sure about the colour of the shirt... I'm not sure I would wear an orange shirt.

But I love this design. You've captured your concept brilliantly. Everything about this reminds me of my daily commute on my local train. I even look like the guy in the design. The colour of the design is just perfect... is it me, or are all trains that colour? The framing is a good idea - I mean, a train carriage is just a long box isn't it. But I like the idea of look through a window instead of just a rectangle frame.

staffell on Nov 15 '06

looks like the district line

keeerstin on Nov 15 '06

pretty.

gravybones on Nov 15 '06

is that the L in chicago?

andylover6 on Nov 15 '06

that looks like the dude who can chage the time and stuff on that show heroes

lekz_one on Nov 16 '06

AAAAah , that box.. hurting.. my.. eyes..
Wicked illustration though

theworldinyour_eyes on Nov 16 '06

YES! oh my god YES! this is the best shirt i've seen in months. HOWEVER...the box is painful, as are the colors. so close to perfection...so close...

girlunderground on Nov 16 '06

I don't like the box frame.

drklister on Nov 16 '06

nice draw, it dont think it fits on shirt dough.

line_up_line_up on Nov 17 '06

without box n its a 5

MeLa de Gypsie on Nov 17 '06

don't like the box.

phantasy_scribbler on Nov 18 '06

alot of detail, should resub without the box

XIIIwulf on Nov 18 '06

EXTREME AWESOME 5$!

yoshi andrian on Nov 18 '06

agree with miche ^

bonsoirmel on Nov 18 '06

Looks like 'one of those days' instead of 'one of these days'!

P-Mac on Nov 19 '06

i love this. and i love the box. i think it looks cool.

.onion on Nov 19 '06

I like the illustration, but that box is just... egad. If you're going to use a box... maybe be a little more fancy about it? Like not just some rectangle, but you could make it look like a subway window, or ... I dunno, maybe not have a box at all.

In any case, the idea and execution is great!
