Shirt.Woot

very cool design! i can't look away

Patrickspens has done it again! I don't evven know how you can make such beautiful designs!

It's as if the entire world is falling away as he reads and is being replaced with another, better reality.

I love the sunlight coming through the window. You can almost see the dust motes.

Love it. Such sweep. Although I am going to occasionally take a liberty and imagine the seated figure is sketching and/or writing.

Dude needs some more furniture. His place is downright Spartan.

The title is very fitting; the depth of the art that Patrick conveyed here has my breath swept away.

I'm looking into your soul. I Love the perspective angle, it's very imaginative.

This may be the most beautiful Woot shirt I have ever seen...stunning realism. You are so talented.

This shirt is a totally original design, right? I love it, but before I buy I want to make sure there isn't some media reference I'm missing the connection to.

I wonder if Neil Peart will wear this shirt during the Clockwork Angels tour...

Called it.
Any shirt with an airship in it is an automatic winner in my book.

I never knew how old Patrick was before. How long before he can retire?

Well, steam punk settings love air ships and they are in ff games. But no, it doesn't remind me of anything specific.

I wonder if the artist has heard of Immram: Voyage of the Corvus Corrone, the synth-prog legend? The art is very similar to the art they used, flying space-boats galore! :D

First thing I thought of was the ship in Stardust...
Gorgeous design!

I thought the exact same thing. Neil Gaiman rocks my socks.

That's exactly what I thought too!!

holy crap!
Is a design that awesome even possible!?

This is fantastic! Definite buy from me! Does anyone happen to know where I could also get a HD copy of this image? Something bigger than what Woot shows would be epic (would love for this to be my background!)

Also, this guys' work is absolutely astounding! His blog is full of incredible art, I especially love the one with the robot in the desert!

Here's a link to his blogspot! http://patrickspens.blogspot.com/

I think I own more of patrickspens' designs than any other artist. And this just may be my favorite. I feel like I've been sucked into this world in his mind and I want to read that book.

Is there a way I can get a print of this? I think it would look better on my wall than on me.

There's always the option of buying it as a shirt and getting it framed or following one of the tutorials online for framing a shirt.

I want this to be the Skyship Inconvenience so bad.

Unfortunately, it's probably just generic steampunk. Oh well, probably in for one anyway.

so do i!

This shirt really reminds me of the beginning of the game Nox.

I almost just want it as a painting.

I'm awestruck. Patrickspens never fails to make the canvas that is shirt.woot sing in glory.

i decided to pretend it is and went for it ; )

If he doesn't he'll see me wearing it at the concert. Now if it just had some Ayn Rand reference.

Incredible design!!!!!
.... but why did it have to be on brown??? /cry

Guess I'll have to wait a year until it ends up on one of the week long reprint sessions.....

Love this design,very nice work!

Fantastic artwork. Wish it was on AA...

Patrickspens, you are one extremely talented artist. Seriously good work!

I've never purchased a shirt from Woot and absolutely love this one. Does anyone know if these shirts run big or are they true to size?

I love this design.

Lately I am bothered by the quality of the screen printing. Several shirts I have gotten have a very pixilated design. This is an example of that. Why is wood runing great artwork with poor reproduction quality?

Me too. This is a fantastic design. As someone else suggested, I may pick one up simply to stick in a frame as mixed media art.

I just knew reading was a bad idea! That man's roof has been destroyed by that blimp! All thanks to reading!

:D

One of us doesn't understand something here.

Since this is today's shirt, I'm assuming you don't already have it in your hands. What do you know about its screenprinting issues, then?

The "pixelated" quality you're referring to (though I'm not sure if that's really the word you're looking for) is an artistic decision from the artist. It serves the dual purpose of allowing more apparent color variation with a limited number of inks (much like MS Paint ala Windows 3.1, or any color printer for that matter), as well as creating an artistic efect that many people find desirable.
