Re: The Gift

I went for a symbolic entry...the land of riches giving to the desolate land. The one guy sent the other guy "hope" in the form of a balloon to travel to the better life, symbolizing sending gifts of money, food, help, etc. to give the hungry hope. I hope you feel compelled to vote!

Great style and use of color!

Re: The Gift

Shel Silverstein-esque....and created by a person whose name is reflects SailorMoon...

If I showed her, my 10 yr old daughter would instantly fall in love with you and this shirt lol

Re: The Gift

I love this so much, glad you chose white it looks great.

Re: The Gift

This is probably the most perfect interpretation of the theme I can think of!

Brava!!!

simple and awesome! great work!

Re: The Gift

I like this! It's simple but it's effectively communicating the message. I like the red balloon.

Re: The Gift

This needs more votes!

A simple, innocent feel; perfect placement.

Oh, why isn't this higher in the rankings?! DX

If it fails to place, we can always hope for an HM.

Everytime I think I've got it figured out, the Woot voters set me back in my place. :D

Re: The Gift

love the style!

Re: The Gift

Hmmm, I think I'd like it better If I could easily tell that the red person gave the balloon to the yellow person. Like having the right land mass below the left land mass and having the person floating up to the land of prosperity. Besides that, awesome.

I agree with the criticism but not the solution, that would completely ruin the composition. Yet I do not have any idea how to convey the red person giving the balloon other than what you've already done with color. I love this shirt. I wish it was in the fog.
