Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Woot(!) voters aren't smart enough to get this :-)

I kinda like it.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

awesome! now this is good. excellent idea and illustration. gmv!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

I REALLY like this one.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

This is awesome. Simply. <3 The colors, the linework, the placement, the style. I would buy this in a second.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Nice illustration! I may be one of the ones who's not smart enough to get it - but I LIKE it.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Voted for this when you first submitted but didn't have a chance to comment. I love the design, the placement, the idea and the interweaving of the neapoliltan colors.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

The flag is genius- great entry

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

This one is great. GMV.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

I think it's safe to say that this will get an HM. I'm actually one of those rare people who don't like chocolate ice cream. Vanilla? Yes please. Strawberry? Sure thing. Chocolate? Nooooo.

And I agree with ramyb - the flag is amazing.

This is funny, I laughed. Based on Liberty Leading the People.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

WOW

Great entry, funny and beautiful (and thought provoking) For those who don't know, this is from the painting 'Liberty leading the people' during the french revolution. The tricolor flag is what sells it for me, very smart.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

I need more shirts with quirky art history references as such. Very wonderfully executed as a whole, I just wish some things weren't as close, for instance, the figure to the left--his elbow meets an ice cream held by Ms. Ice Cream Liberty-ish and his other arm meets the ribbon a little too close for tangents sake. Other than those nit picks, I think it's really great, GMV, and please place!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Just a random thought, but I think it might look better on creme. Maybe. Since the design seems to be going nowhere, maybe try it out and resub it if you like it?

Unless you're at your colour limit and can't get around it... you're using the brown for an outline, so that might be a problem. Although it might work if you used creme as the vanilla shadow.

I considered doing the design on that color, but I design for what I'd wear and I know creme tees sit in my closet for moths before I get around to wearing them. I like your suggestion, but I'm not going to resub this. This was my first attempt at a woot design...I was a little too ambitious with the amount of work that I wanted to do, but now I have a better idea what I need to do for next week.

That's fair. Right now, if I'm picturing it on creme correctly in my head, it would be a definite buy. On brown, I'm not as sure. You still have my vote though.

I think this would do well on Threadless. You should sub it there in 60 days, or after the next do-over if Woot gives it an HM.

Yes, seriously, please don't give up.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

GMV because that Delacroix is such a renegade. This is hilarious; I love it. You did a great job with the redesign (even keeping the god-awful perspective on her forearm!). Although it's the wrong revolution for a "Let them eat cake" reference. XD

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

!! fun, clever and the colors all weave together so beautifully :} ...although I think the French conjugation of vivre in that way (imperative/command form) is "vive" not "viva" ? ehh?

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

would be great if the shirt were white or some type of blue

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

The colors on this shirt are AMAZING! GMV!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

:D
I like it <3
Okay, love

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

ROTFLMHO!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

I love you. GMV!!!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Um yes if this ends up not placing PLEASE submit this to Threadless or something .... I really, really want this shirt! kthxbye

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Great shirt! I love the placement. GMV!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Ehe, this is great. I love that flag. Of course the colors are spot-on, too.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Very clever and well drawn. I like!

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Thanks to everyone who voted and commented on my design! One down, many many more to come.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

Great one. And I love the colours.

Re: Let Them Eat Ice Cream!

This is great, I own an Ice Cream shop nd this would make an interesting uniform...

This is an amazing design. It's clever on multiple levels and hits one of my biggest pet-peeves in the misread word category.
