Re: Be unique

Inspired by the Spanish Art Nouveau master architect Antoni Gaudi. He didn't design boxes, he sculpted buildings as if they were alive.

If you're ever in Barcelona, visit Parc Güell. It's amazing.


See a BIG VERSION here. This is six colors on slate.

Thanks for looking!,

I'm really happy that we both made something as a tribute to Gaudi I go to Barcelona once a year at least, cause I've got some family and friends there, and I never get tired of going to the Park Guell, the Sagrada Familia, the Batllo and the Mila house and many amazing places. I think he was one of the greatest.

Of course I love this design :D

Suddenly I want to go to Spain.

...and also France! 8D Good job.

Re: Be unique

Thank you both. :^)

I get the feeling this entry will have a limited appeal, but I sure did enjoy designing it.

Re: Be unique

Wow, Gaudi definitely would have approve of this design! Love the line work and the retro colors.

Lol! Love it!

I appreciate the extra effort to provide a bigger detail, but do you worry about thievery when posting big versions on designs? With the rash of bootleg shirts lately, I'd be concerned.

Re: Be unique

I LOVE that the snail has a beard! Perfect. :D

Ha! His face makes me giggle! Cute.

I haven't had a problem yet so I'll keep on doing it. I know people use it as wallpaper sometimes so it's nice to offer it for every design.

Thanks guys!

Re: Be unique

Great character, love his beard! Need to read up on Gaudi now.

Re: Be unique

Oooh, very nice! A great stylistic departure from a lot of the other designs in this derby.

Re: Be unique

I am thoroughly baffled by the distribution of votes for this derby. Then again, so does the appeal of art nouveau in general. Gaudi's work, however, I thoroughly enjoy and I really hope the voting for this shirt starts picking up soon!!

Re: Be unique

This is great!!

Re: Be unique

Gaudi is amazing, this snail is an ace tribute

Re: Be unique

This is so good!

Re: Be unique

Re: Be unique

Sweet snail!
Gaudi was one crazy dude. I've never been to Barcelona, but my sister tells me the Sagrada Familia is a sight to behold. And after all this time they still haven't finished it.
He was definitely one of my favorite architects in school.

Also- congrats on the print, Spirit! It's always nice to be rewarded for a job well done.

Re: Be unique

Thanks Rad! And everyone for the really nice comments.

I still have "Wrong Droid" as a wallpaper. Still wish that would have printed.

Re: Be unique

Brilliant!!!

Re: Be unique

Heh. I was convinced that this was a Walmazan design. It was the happy eyes.
