Re: Just One More Chapter...(Sans Alien)

Well played, great title and nice vision of the theme as well

Looks like I have some work to do to catch up...

Re: 919.6 : Islands of the South Pacific

I am both a library worker and a nerdy-pants lover of the Dewey Decimal System. Love this shirt, natch.

Re: Shelf Life

I really like the detail in this design, but I either don't like the color choices or I don't like the shirt color. Of course, I'm looking at this on a pretty terrible monitor, so...

Re: Bastian's Nightlight (Re-dux)

I really like the design on this one and the imagination of the kid.

I take it back...and I voted.

Re: The New Girl

I just made this for funnies. If you remember English class you might think its kinda funny too. Thank you for looking!

Re: Into the Wild (Silver)

This is pretty! I'd wear it. The negative space between the trees makes a great pattern, and the subject matter is cool.

I'd just try to make the gradients (they look like gradients at least) in the background more blended and smoother.

Re: Into the Wild (Silver)

Either the mountains need to go, or need to become more "sketchy" like the trees are to fit the image. They sort of distract me. But still GMV because...well, what she said:

Heh, didn't check for word filter on that one...that was supposed to say id.iot.

Re: A Catchy Theme Song

READING RAINBOW! I use to watch that show all the time! I like!

Re: A "reading" Rainbow

It's like some of you people have never seen a shirt with arched writing before! (yes, that's 7 links to different shirts in the past few weeks, all with arched text...BAM!)


Also, I just noticed there is a shadowy profile of a scruffy, bearded old man looking to the left in the enlarged yellow filled dot in the bg of your preview. Go ahead, TRY to un-see that. I dare you. =P

Re: Just One More Chapter...(Sans Alien)

I love this.

Re: the pen is mightier than the sword -resub / revote

I'm a sucker for anything with a dragon on it, but I think it would have looked better if the text flowed a little...like it was oozing around in the ink, maybe a little swirly coming off (or pushing in) and breaking the barriers of the text a bit. Very nice looking dragon though, so GMV for sure!

Re: Read Me resub

Could have been fun to have a "Jock" book slapping the sign on...or even a kindle/iPad/whatever...but I like the simplicity of it as it is. GMV

I couldn't agree more! Maybe some slate blues or greys for the covers, some shading and/or yellowing of the pages to bring the books to life a little.

Still got my New York vote...heck, I'll be at the Brooklyn Bowl this Sunday for a concert actually. How could I NOT vote for this!?!

Re: Dirty little secret.

They should TOTALLY make a carrying case for the real ones that makes it look like you have a real book (if they haven't done that already). Very funny design.

Re: Face Book Picture

Very funny shirt! I could never wear it though because I am one of the very few people that...

...wait for it...

...waaaaait fooor iiit...

...DOESN'T HAVE FACEBOOK ZOMG!!!1!one!!

Then again, since all my friends know that it might make having it as a shirt all the MORE amusing! Either way, GMV for funny, original idea. Nice work.

Re: Epic Battle

I like that the colors in the shirt are shown as little books, it makes me smile.

Re: The Lion, the Witch, in the Wardrobe

Very creative idea, and even more impressive that it's your 1st submission! I love the reference, and the expression on the cat as well. Keep up the great work! =D

Only one thing bothers me an that's the way the borders blend into the shirt. I don't know how I would have done it different, but maybe a real artist could help better. Those who can do, those who can't critique =P hahaha

Re: 'ave ye been seein' a whale?

You have my vote on account of 1 good 1 excellent titles. The image is funny too.

Re: Turn off that book and go to bed!

I like the twist with the tree being able to read it too, since he wouldn't have to be a...what would you call it? Not a cannibal since he's not eating it...you get my point though haha...

Re: Literary fail

I REALLY hope this gets printed!

Re: yum... i love books!

This is so absolutely adorable. We have a a brand new Jack Russell puppy and me wuvs him so much ( even though he chewed the underwire out of my $85 bra)! Our big dog Max died recently and I miss him so much. This is like a mash up of both of them!

Every dog lover should vote for this so I can buy it. I have blue eyes and I love to wear blue to show them off. This shirt would make me so happy!

Love it! Vote people!

Re: The Original Blockbuster

the copy is brilliant

It would take some extreme obtuseness for a viewer to believe that this is an earnest expression of enthusiasm for the works of Sophocles. Clearly that is a Spartan bowtie, not an Athenian one.

im personally a big fan of vintage looking shirts. the ink looks like its been faded and well worn, the design in general looks old fashioned, all around, i enjoy this shirt.

my life story unwritten, i quite enjoy that brain creation

Re: Oh No Not Again!

If this doesn't win I'm going to be pissed! Must have this shirt...

I've traded my books for a computer. I don't need the flashlight, anymore.

White, Crimson Red, Tangerine orange, Lemon Yellow, Olive Green, and Cobalt Blue. 6 clours on Midnight Black.

DraxXx wanted to see this without the Alien, so I spent another 4 hours and re-worked the design. The halftone screens are lines and the black was erased with 35 lines/inch dots, giving it a much cleaner finish.

Thanks Draxxx!

Here's the Full Version




Now, Vote!

I clicked on the image, but it's a broken link, is anyone else having a problem or is it just my yucky computer?

I really want to look at this close up, can you check your link Mr. Dog? (I voted antway, I just love this!)

yes... looking at it now I think something with the boarder needs to be changed. But I am not sure the way to do it. Thank you for your feedback. Hopefully I will have a better idea for my next entry.

Also critiques are much appreciated. It is my favorite part about finishing a masterpiece is to hear the pros and cons.

Re: Watership Down

My FAVORITE book of all time. LOVE so much and would buy in a heart beat.

Also, agreed, a little tuft of hair on the winning rabbit would have made a great Bigwig. LOVE!

If there's one thing I possess in extremeness, it's obtuseness (to borrow a page from Oscar Wilde).

Re: Shelf Life

This seems like an open invitation for people to stare at my chest lol. Might have to buy two so I can prevent that ;)

Re: Funny Things are Everywhere

C'mon folks...the "german shepherd" in the background is actually "Fox in Socks".

Cutsie take on Suess's concepts. Don't see a copyright problem here.

Ramyb: Sometimes I like your stuff...sometimes I don't. But it's clear you have talent and a distinctive style. No one seemed to mind that Charles Shultz's or Gary Larson's characters all looked similar so I don't understand why some of these guys give you so much grief. It's like they want to diminish what you do because they can't do it.

Artists will always have fans and critics...I just can't understand why your critics are so angry.

Keep doing what you're doing...whether I end up voting for it or not, I always look forward to your submissions.

I see him! Only he's in profile and does't have a beard, but he is very clear.

This is seriously the best comment page ever, even including ramy threads! I would *really* love to wear the shirt, too. PM me if you ever print it elsewhere!

Re: Sketchbook

This is really awesome -- great job!

Re: Into the Wild (Silver)

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions! Would love to work off of your critiques, but I don't think a resub is worthwhile at this point, even though this isn't doing quite as well as I had hoped...

Re: THE ALLEGORY

If your only point in submitting this design was to create controversy. Then you really don't belong as an artist on this site. Its disrespectful to the other people on here who actually care about making a good shirt for people.
