Very clever design. Had you put something in the screen, this would be over the top.

I want one for my wife so I can make stuff on her chest. "Tune in Tokyo, Tune in Tokyo!"

This is minimalist perfection at its absolute finest!!! Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner!

One of the biggest Zaphod Beeblebroxs on this site beat you to it, and got rejected.

Pretty amazing looking at these two shirts side by side how similar they are. I preferred the treatment Johndis5 used on his design.

Agreed, the buttons looked more 3-D. On the other hand, you could always use the etch a sketch to draw boobs. Then it can be double rejection qualified.

Re: etch-a-shirt

awe the sweet sting of rejection.
in light of the copy-controversy it is a pleasant end.

when i thought of the idea, i did a google search and saw many etch a sketch shirts but none that were all-red and minimalist like this.
I was inspired by all the popular face-based character shirts that are out these days.

finding no shirts on google, i felt i had an original idea... just not as original as i thought given that someone else had the original idea months before me in a derby!
(if i would have known, i sincerely wouldn't have copied another artists work)
Johndis5, please accept my apologies and let me buy you a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster...with extra olives...

I feel your pain I actually thought this was a coincidence. You both had similar designs on the same idea. I was just trying to compare the two.

Mine wasn't terribly original to begin with. No worries.

Perhaps a resub with a different name, like 'sketchy tuning', or 'drawing knobs'... I love the design, but it could easily be seen as an old black and white tv screen with tuners! So, not really a copyright issue IMO.
