You know, in real life a snail this size would almost certainly be horrifying - think of the mess - but on the shirt it's kind of cute. I do like the childlike feel of this.

I think this is both subtly cute and clever. Snails truly are one of earth's gentlest and least understood creatures.

I love the stamps/stickers on the snail's shell.

I would actually really just like a version with only the snail, in the center. I think the girl takes away from the simple elegance of the image. Really, the idea of "snail mail" is really cute, and I love the execution of the snail.

I totally agree. I love the shirt, would be even better without the girl in the picture. Regardless, GMV.

I like how the girl adds some context and balances the design. however I'd prefer if she didn't have the same visual weight as the snail, it makes the composition a little static.
