Here's my entry this week. I hope you like it. I had a very different idea when I started, but I'm glad I took it in this direction.

Re: NightLife
This is such an excellent piece! I can hang something like this as a painting or something on my wall.

Great style with this one sir, and wonderful atmospheric colors.
It makes me feel good having you around in these
contests Chris.

Re: NightLife
sort of van Gogh-ish, and that's a good thing!
I hope this does well for you Chris!

Re: NightLife
Wow, the paint effects on this are brilliant. It's great to see you using a style that's less clean and clinical.
This has so much life!

Re: NightLife
Surreal! I have a couple of your desings, and they're generally not explicable - people don't know what to make of them. This is no exception, but it's gorgeous.

Re: NightLife
I really, really love this visual style. I hope one day to be able to execute it half as well as you have here. I'd wear it as a shirt, or hang it above my couch as a painting.

Re: NightLife
Thanks for the comments!!! This one was fun because the idea I had originally ended up being nothing like what I ended up with. Sometimes it's best to just wing it and see what develops when you let your design just happen the way it wants to. I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks for the votes and support, hope you all enjoy it!

Re: NightLife
Gorgeous cmdixon... and I like how there is a concept there too.
...I will be very tempted to get this, even though I am really in need of less dark shirts right now!
Vote!

Re: NightLife
I have been avoiding casting a vote in this derby so far, but every time I come around to look at the new shirts, this shirt just keeps attracting my eyes. It's just such a cool shirt.
Definitely GMV

Re: NightLife
Finally a design that isn't a cutesy-rabbit thing. Can't wait to buy it.

Re: NightLife
Chris, I love all of your stuff, but I think this one may be a little too abstract for me...
Very cool design, but nothing I would wear around, I guess?

Re: NightLife
this reminds me of Thomas Kinkade's title, "painter of light" i actually like this better than his paintings though! gmv!

It's very wearable. Seriously, my "weird" shirts are my most complimented ones. Open your minds to the colorful, the abstract, and the wild, and you will be happier, healthier, and wiser!

This shirt is great but I can't vote for it for some reason. I can only tattle on it....

You can Woot! if you want to, you can leave Amazon behind, because if you don't buy the Woot! from the real Woot!, then you're, no friend of mine. Say we can Woot!, we can Woot!, they're doing it from home to home.
