Re: The Rollercoaster of Love

A rollercoaster ride.

So true, love it!

Re: The Rollercoaster of Love

Brilliant! Great final decision on the track coloring, and the green shirt makes the design really stand out. Beautiful and touching work. If this doesn't print, it'll be a crime.

Like this or more mediocre?? Kinda cool idea, horrible execution

I'm kind of perplexed that this is still in the fog. I've settled on the conclusion that this artist's success hinges on her design simplicity.

But this design takes forever to "get." There's not a lot of clutter on the shirt, but if anyone wants to look at the image, they'll have to stare at the design up close on the wearer's chest for a long time.

I have to disagree. I 'got it' as soon as I saw it. The simplicity is, to me, what sells it. Love is the simplest of things, yet outside forces (fear, surprise, the law of gravity) enable conflict. The long pause between conflict and resolution (when the ride levels out) is just the right distance/time, imho.

That's just what gets me - the parameters set by the artist in regards to the simplicity of the design and the story being told work just right in my head.

I love this. So true.

I don't see love going slow, fast, or a licorice whip anywhere. Pass.

I like this design. It's a beautiful idea. However, I think that it does take a bit of time to follow the track and really 'get' the complete story/idea (depends how you look at it). I also feel like the stilts of this coaster look a bit odd, not because they're bad, 'cause they're not, but they just have nothing beneath them. It just seems a bit off to me. I'd still order this shirt, though. Great job with this!!!

Sorry to see this out of the fog; style suits the idea to a (pause) t.

Re: The Rollercoaster of Love

@maesk - Thanks!

@flemtone - Aw thanks so much flemtone!

@JRWorkshop - since you're another artist here, it would be nice if you could give suggestion on how to improve the execution. You've posted the same criticism on another design of mine without explaining or replying when I asked.

@thegambler - it's not anymore, so it shall perplex you no more. I do see your point about it being hard to get without taking a closer look.

@flemtone again - thanks so much for your thoughtful description! I very much appreciate it.

@karrey31 - Thank you!


@tigerfiend - your points make sense, something to think about... glad you still like it and thanks!

@lonelypoind - Thanks lonelypond, and ha;)

Re: The Rollercoaster of Love
