Re: Fragile! Not a toy.



So of course we have three popular arctic animals representing...polar bear, walrus, arctic hare.
They're all dressed in Inuit clothing (or my representation thereof).
The snowglobe depicts the fragility of the arctic refuge, and how everyone thinks a snowglobe is a toy but really isn't.

6 colors on asphalt.

Re: Sixty Six Degrees North



The Arctic circle is all of the land, ocean and sky northward of sixty six and 33' degrees on the globe.

It is a place of surprising biodiversity. For this design I've drawn sixty six (!) animals indigineous to the Arctic. An Arctic circle of life.


This is white on a navy shirt. You can view a BIG VERSION here. Thanks for looking, please vote if you like this design!

"Outfoxed"

That poor arctic fox has meet his match.

I always find it fascinating how animals deal with a harsh and dangerous environment and not only live but thrive.

Re: CAPS... are for the arctic



What you have here is a dual purpose message that Arctic Lovers and Internet Gurus can equally enjoy. I mean, that's what you get when you combine the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with Woot isn't it?

This is the first time using only 3 colors. It's also the first entry I've done on white. And probably the only (what you could consider) slogan shirt. All default negative points aside, I hope you like it anyway.

Re: Lords of the Ice



What do I love about the arctic?

Car-i-bou. The word. It's just so sensual to say. Imagine the old spice guy saying it. Car-i-bou. You have to thank the animal for existing, just because of his name.

But seriously, the animals in the arctic are all so cool up there. We have to preserve them in their icy wonderland. We MUST help continue their majesty.

Re: Walrus Pod



The shapes here work smashingly. Smart design, nice style, wearable without needing to explain to anyone.

And btw, for those who were wondering, this is the definition of that. "What's on your shirt?" "Walruses." "Whyyyyyyy?" "Why is Mario on yours?" It's simple graphically, but it works perfectly as simply an article of clothing (and I think it'd be simply perfect framed by an overshirt or zip hoodie). And it's simply design that looks good. That's what "not needing to explain what's on your shirt" means.

BIG VERSION here.

First thing that came to mind was the plight of those that have gone before, and how we shouldn't allow that to happen again.

Hope you like!
