@loridi - I wondered if people familiar would think it fits - thank you!

@bigcat39 - Thanks!

So beautiful and it perfectly reflects the poem. I really want one.

It's the British spelling of sidewalk.

Re: The Writer

I love that it isn't on black.
also great color choice

Re: Namárië/Aldudénië (Tolkien)

I love the delicate patterning of leaves and grass. One criticism however is that you boxed in the design. It would have been nice if it had some gradual integration into the shirt.

Friggin' sweet! Good job!

Re: That is not dead which can eternal lie...

The composition of this design is great. You divided the shirt with the ground plane then unified it with the skeleton.

Re: Air Quoth

It's been awhile since there's been a shirt I really wanted to purchase... this would be one.

This is so cute and clever! Well done! :D

Is there a more general forum area?

I would be happy to join you in a discussion there. Of course you don't HAVE to use halftones, but you can only have six colors maximum, if you don't use them.

Re: The Hunger Games

Okay, so someone makes a poem about a book and therefore this is okay? That means the telltale heart shirt could have stayed. I am sure someone wrote a poem about that somewhere.

Re: Cobalt

Kind of reminds me of the painting the bathers by cezanne.

Re: Joe's poem

Joe's Poem
A demons sigh fell heavy,
and it stole the light,
as it passed my way it stole my time.
I hunt the demon now but he's hard to find,
he wears a mask to hide from light,
he wears a smile to beguile,
the smile he wears is my stolen time.
Mark your time thief your fire grows dim,
the time you steal will be your own.
Take yourself back to darkness demon and hide from light,
and hide the smile that bears my time.

Reminds me a lot of Dan McCarthy's work. http://danmccarthy.org/PRINT.DETAIL/99189.tyrannosaur.html

Re: Hippopotamus, by Ronald Wallace

Why isn't this skyrocketing into the fog? I love your art style, and the poem's cool too, although I'm not familiar with it.
It'll be just criminal if this doesn't print!!!

Yeah I had it smaller but for some reason it stretched when I posted it. My first derby entry so still need to work out the kinks. Thanks for the suggestions also.

Re: Bear in Mind

This is absolutely fantastic. Great vintage look.

Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος), possibly derived from ναρκη (narke) meaning "sleep, numbness," in Greek mythology was a hunter from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. Nemesis saw this and attracted Narcissus to a pool where he saw his own reflection in the waters and fell in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the beauty of his reflection, Narcissus died.[1]

So, funny story- I remember seeing that poster a while back on itunes movie trailers and was WAY disappointed to find out that rather than a movie about a dinosaur it was a depressing drama about a guy with anger management issues.

Re: ulysses returns

Man, you got a lot of vector packs! Great job!

naomiderrebe wrote:I love Lorenna's version! It's beautiful. The only real shame is that she left out 3 stanzas, one important to the plotline of the poem. alas.

Love the poem and her version. The left-out stanza does make the plot harder to follow, but I find it interesting that her version is almost more depressing--even though the refrain at the end of the poem brings them back as ghosts, it still focuses on love; hers ends with violence and, I think, focus more on the Highwayman than Bess.

Re: The Highwayman

Nice shirt. And it knocks my socks off to find that I'm in a veritable hotbed of Loreena McKennitt fans!

Re: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Re: The Tyger

Re: Trees by Joyce Kilmer

I LOVED this shirt. LOVED LOVED LOVED this shirt! I love the design, I love the trees growing together and all the little hidden hearts. Everything about this design is great! I only wish it was on a black shirt because I never really order shirts in any other color, my personal taste. Other than that smaaaaall thing this shirt is absolutely amazing! Great job!

Re: That is not dead which can eternal lie...

Wow that was a wonderful story! This shirt is really cool. It brings with it thought and wonder instead of the cheap laugh we've come to get from most shirts these days. Everything about this shirt is great! Good job! I'd buy it!

Re: The Highwayman

This is such a great poem. I was so happy to see that someone had chosen it to do a shirt of it. This is such a great design too! I'm glad it's on a black shirt too since those are usually the only shirts I seem to buy lol I loved this design so much! Great job! If this wins I wont buy one though... I'd buy twelve! lol

Re: Little Miss Muffet

This shirt makes me smile every time I see it XD It's so cute! I love this character design! Such a fantastic style! Love it!

Re: That is not dead which can eternal lie...

Ugh shirts like this are what kill me that new ones are now way to big to fit, but I'm voting anyway because I am a Lovecraft fan this is a great design.

I may have to look into working it into a skirt of it get printed.

Re: The Lark Ascending

I really like the way your positive and negative spaces interact with each other. Nice work!

Now I must look up The Lark Ascending.

Um, a fossilized dragon skeleton battlefield would absolutely make an amazing skirt. If it does print I may just have to make one for my wife - thanks for the idea!

Re: ECCE same: Behold the Man

'Tis a bit silly, but this won't let me write the word "h0m0" as a normal word, so I had to use zeroes... I realize in most cases nowadays it might be used as a slur, but in this poem's case, it is the Latin word for "man"... as in h0m0 sapiens...? Goofy thing...

ECCE H0M0 - Friedrich Nietzsche

Ja, ich weiß, woher ich stamme,
Ungesättigt gleich der Flamme
Glühe und verzehr’ ich mich.
Licht wird alles was ich fasse,
Kohle alles, was ich lasse,
Flamme bin ich sicherlich

BEHOLD THE MAN

Yes, I know from whence I came
Insatiated, just as the flame
I glow and consume all that is me
Light becomes everything I touch
Coals are what I leave of such
A flame I am, certainly
