Re: Eight legs good, two legs bad.

That'll do, pig, that'll do.

Re: The Original Blockbuster

Being the writer´s nicknames one of the most important aspects of this design, I´m not sure how well this will work on a t-shirt, because the text size will make it mostly unreadable, except from a very short distance.

Oh, I don't like them either on principle. I'm a book fanatic, with lots of collectable books. But I thought this would be something for the younger folks.

Rant: Electronic files, to me, have little inherent value. Oh sure, you can buy them, but that's it. You can't collect 1st print ebooks, you can't get ebooks autographed, and you can't sell them or lend them without getting in trouble.

Re: Turn off that book and go to bed!

We no longer need a flashlight to read in the dark. And now even trees can enjoy a good book.

Re: The Best Defense

Just resubbed with non-blurry thumbnail.

Giant T.V robots will rot your brain. Books are the best defense!

Vote again, my few voters from 5 minutes ago

Re: SUPER FUN BOOK TIMES

It's a great work of art, but I don't feel too comfortable with it. It's just too suggestive. She looks a bit like a blow up doll.

Re: Gnomes and Molearty

Hey, thanks. :^)

Glad to get this weird idea out of my brain. If I can just plunger out another 427 of them I might live a normal life.

Re: Gnomes and Molearty

While this design is obviously beating mine badly (thanks, friends who refuse to vote for me...), I think this should have gotten more votes by now. I like it better than some of the shirts above it...

Re: Booklyn

Needs a "No Boys Allowed" sign, but otherwise, a perfect book fort for me. Got my vote!

Re: A Midsummer's read -- Red

oops.. i uploaded stuff backwards.. doi.

Re: second star to the left ...

Re: The Real Treasure

Like midgerock referd before, it´s good to see you submit something different from your usual designs, and with such a nice result.

Very eye catching! My vote is yours. Now I feel this irresistible urge to go to the library, so if you'll excuse me......

Wonderful. Oh wonderful you!

Re: No Frigate Like a Book

My third entry!

Based on Emily boghogonson's poem that begins "There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away..." and also a little bit on Shakespeare's "The Tempest."

Good luck to all entrants!

PS: Let me know if the shirt comp image doesn't show up for you, it's been a problem for me in the past.

Re: A lifetime of reading

just thought I'd give a different bit of detail view, since someone took away their vote just now.

Re: books are useful

I just thought it would be nice to have text since it's allowed, and have the first read be something you actually read.

Re: Use Your Imagination

Hey guys! Thanks for the early votes. The idea behind this design is an origami dragon crawling out of a book, symbolizing a creation of a character from the reader's imagination. As a little note, the text is from "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." Also, this is a continuation of a style of design that I created a few years ago that some may remember, called "Fly, Paper." I've been wanted to do another origami-type shirt and I am glad that this gave me the opportunity.

Thanks a bunch, I hope you all enjoy

Re: The Blue Fairy

Nice to see your kevlar robot! Awesome like always!

Re: This Story never ends.

If we don't read, The Nothing will consume everything. This is why I love books, because they keep fantasy alive!

Re: Eight legs good, two legs bad. v2.

Collaboration between myself and Ignorant.

After some feedback, decided to resub on brown.

Thanks for looking!

Re: The Owl Brings Me Many Things

Excellent collab guys! and nice lighting! +1

Re: Reading Rocket Ship

This is fantastic, I know there would be at least 2 of these coming to our house if it places! Great work!

I hope someone makes a plushy brain. That'd be a great toy!

I do this to my husband constantly. It is the only thing that gets me through his almost monthly marathons. Well that and analyzing the show through a cold war war perspective.

Love the shirt GMV.

Re: Unwritten

This is awesome. I love the colors and the font that you chose, very nice

Re: The Original Blockbuster

Love it! It has a very different feel than all of the other entries. Congrats on the fog!

Re: Sketchbook

Really, really like this. The sketched look is amazing and I love the sort of collage effect you have going, it keeps your eye moving! Grayscale was a perfect choice as well.

Re: The Lion, the Witch, in the Wardrobe

I am glad you like the design. Thank you for the feedback

Re: the pen is mightier than the sword -resub / revote

Great color choices and I love the large graphic placement with the pen anchoring the center of the design.

Re: Roland's Quest

Inspired by The Dark Tower series by Stephen King:

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the Gunslinger followed."

Quite possibly the greatest opening line of a story ever written. Long days and pleasant nights, my friends.

Halftones are 20 lpi.

Re: Roland's Quest

nice, epic feel. love the placement and overall composition.

Re: Roland's Quest

Really feels like it is straight out of a graphic novel. Love that you used silhouettes to keep that mysterious feel of the opening line.

Re: Roland's Quest

I like this glimpse into an unfolding story
gmv!

I'd vote for it and buy one if you removed the text. The graphic is great.

i agree. the graphic is awesome, but the design had WAY too much text makes it kinda klunky.

So Weird. I wrote "Emily boghogonson," but that's not what it displayed in the first post. Ah well.

Re: American Heritage

However you feel about it, this is a design inspired by the recent revisionist attacks on Mark Twain’s Huck Finn and their desire to expunge all racial slurs within. This is not the first time people want to revise or censor American Literature. Such is our American heritage hence the name.

Here's a link to a larger jpeg of the design for review
