Re: Jungle Within



6 colors on navy. (Oh how I wish for Threadless's 8 colors... xD)

There were two main goals for this design - do a design where the ink is framed by the shirt, and use interesting colors I hope you like.

Re: sunset tree tng



A long time ago I won a derby with a design I actually wasn't that thrilled with (due to colors and not having a good source image). This is one I'd really like to wear.

Re: A Survivor



Sometimes a tree has to struggle and grow a unique way to survive. This took quite a long time to do -hope you enjoy!

Re: Who wants popcorn?



I know I'd grow one of these. I bet in the summer, when it gets really hot, you'd have caramel corn!

Re: Hope



There is hope in nature. If we cut all the trees down, Nature will find a way to replace what was lost. This design has 5 colors, and is a massive redo from a previous last-day submission.

Re: Japanese Maple



This abstract uses a tree that's in front of my house...I loved the flow of this section of branches and thought it would lend itself well to an abstract. I hope you like it!

Re: The Taking Tree



I like it but that money symbol on the tree would probably get this rejected :/

Re: That Tacky Gnome That Lives Next Door



Flamingos in the tree? That is very tacky. Guess there wasn't any room on the ground.

Re: That Tacky Gnome That Lives Next Door



you're awesome. even with white flamingos it rocks. (and i still say they are exclamation points, which makes it even better in my book. even if you and the rest of the world say they're not.)

Here's a larger view of the design:


It's based on one of my favorite Greek myths, Baucis and Philemon. They were an old couple who was granted a wish because of their hospitality to the gods. They chose to wish that when one died, the other would die as well, so neither would have to live a day without each other. Upon death, they were changed into two different trees growing from the same trunk, one an oak, the other an linden.

For the full story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baucis_and_Philemon

Hope you guys like it!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do my design this week with a distinctive classic storybook feel.
The greens are meant to represent the summer season.
Thank you for your feedback on the design, and I hope you enjoy it.

That is stunning work! I like that trees make a solid foreground. It's very rare to see a foreground as appose to a background. Solid work!

hrm, I don't really understand why the money symbol would make the difference. I'm not being abrasive, I am just curious.
