Re: Read The Whole Book!

Love it. I need a good shirt (or two or three) to wear to watch Shakespeare's Skum (http://comedyindc.com/skum.htm) this year... hoping this might be one of them ^_^

Re: The Witches of McBeth

NOW I know why I get agida any time I eat Micky D's! This is hysterical... :D

Thanks! Your signature is adorable!

What does iron water do to white? Now I have to research that. I always disregarded the "i can't wear white because I spill stuff on myself" comments because that's what bleach is for. But I'm not familiar with the iron-water issue...

Re: Midsummer Mischief

I *love* this!! Everything about it is enchanting!

Re: Read The Whole Book!

Agreed Shakespeare, agreed. I can proudly say I've never read one of those things. If you're going to go to the trouble of reading anything, why not make it the real thing?

Re: Read The Whole Book!

I didn't catch it at first, but Billy looks a whole lot like the HS English teacher who taught be to appreciate Shakespeare. And he was a pretty tightly-wound, testy kinda guy. NOW I get why. Lol!
And no, I never used Cliff's Notes. Sadly, more because I never heard of them than from moral fortitude.

Re: Shakespeare Kitty

Cute, clean style, but I think the design is awfully large on the shirt. And where's the Cheez?

Re: Eat Two Brute

Awesome! Love it, GMV.

Though, I will say I am getting a tad bit tired of the charcoal shirts... but I will buy this shirt when it prints and add it to my charcoal collection.

Re: The Globe

This is classy! I love what you did here.

^__^

Re: To unpathed waters, undreamed shores

Welcome to the fog! Lovely design. :^)

Re: Verona Apothecary

Love the soft loopy shapes in this. It'd make a great tee!

Good stuff, jewelwing!

Re: To beef or not to beef

Like the eclectic composition of a classic weenie, this is also a mash-up: a bit Titus Andronicus, lots of Hamlet, and some sneakers. And pig lips.

6 colors on royal blue.

Re: Team Capulet

It seems like everyone is choosing both, you crafty devil! ^___^

(Hats off to a very clever idea)!

Re: William and Company

The central figures almost look 3D, like photographed statues against the background. Big skills!

Maybe I'm seeing things, but I think there is an extra color on the bun outside of the spot colors on your comp. I'm probably wrong.

Re: Know your bard.

Can't read the statement that begins "Shakespeare w..." on the right side of the image. It looks like the rose extends from the end of the sentence. Can't see it in the full t-shirt representation either. What does it say?

Well, now you've got options.

Now in black & blood.

Well, it's Shakespearean-inspired, which is what was asked for. If they'd specified an identifiable illustration of a recognisable scene from a play, that would have excluded the sonnets. And they didn't specify that baldy blokes in ruffs were essential, either - so I think I'm reasonably on topic with this. Thanks for your concern!

Re: Team Montague

I'm amazed to see this, and its counterpart, with so many votes, as both strike me as being very close to breaking the "No Text-Only Designs" rule.

Re: Shakespeare's Pen

To use a quill, or not to use a quill - that is the question!

5 colors! I hope you like it!

Thanks for the inspiration to make me go back to the OG design... hope you like:

Re: Know your bard.

"utter it's name"? Is that a Shakespearean apostrophe, prithee?

Re: Read The Whole Book!

Great job as usual. Real comic booky!

Re: To beef or not to beef

hahahaha! you are awesome!

I made sure I followed the rules and included a graphic element. Thanks for checking it out!

Re: Read The Whole Book!

Shakespeare wrote PLAYS, not books! It's all well and good to tout having a real and thorough Shakespeare experience, but you won't get that reading the script.

Re: Read The Whole Book!

Love it! excellent work like always!

Thanks, SG! I was up until 2:00 in the morning racking my brain for an idea. Glad you like it!

Thank you Kindly!

there are strokes, but not gray lines, the t shirt reflects the gray in the composition the way it does. Hope you like my Desdemona!

Ha! Same here. And I'm an English major. I'm terrible.

I love this tee, though, and really want one!

Re: Midsummer Mischief

Another sweet design. Awesome!

Re: To be, or not to be? v2

I took the text out and changed the colors a bit. I hope you like it more!
