Sweet! Soooo thrilled this printed! Can't wait to get it, I know I'll be getting lots of compliments on it!

Congratulations walmazan!!

That's so Raven.

*Try The Bells, people, or Annabel Lee if you have a Poe moment. Mix it up : ) And now I've just visualized a walmazan Poe series...ah well.

Walmazan is usually known for those fun, goofy shirts that make you smile, and I love those.

But I love the stylistic nature of this shirt and the simple, subtle reference to my one of my favorite poems. Congrats Wences!

It's a bad poem. Why in the hell are so many people gaga over it and why has it spawned so many damned raven shirts? (I like ravens, but there is a limit)

Yay, a Superbowl shirt!

Black, white, and re(a)d all over? Yup, I think that describes both The Raven and this shirt quite nicely.

Beautiful work, Walmazan. I haven't had an insta-buy in a looooong time, but this broke my dry spell.

I love the somewhat mod feel to this design. Leave it to wotto to come up with a new twist on a classic Poe piece.

This would be a really great poster. One of the most artistically cool designs I've seen here in a long time.

^ this! please listen woot and make this print into a poster pleeeeeease!

I love the use of mid-century graphic design to depict a mid-century poem of the previous century. Very striking, with a boldness that is subtle by virtue of its simplicity. (And I'm another one who would be down for a poster!)

Great design; congratulations on the print, Wences!

Hmm...I just started at a new college. Do you think if I wear this shirt, my Literary Criticisms teacher would give me an automatic A? We are doing a unit on Poe...

Decisions, decisions.

The bells is more annoying then the raven, even though you don't hear it as much. As for Annabel, er, it feels like walking in on people in a compromising pose.
I prefer conquerer worm.

I have a cardinal in my neighborhood that likes to look at his reflection in my window. I snapped a picture of him. Unfortunately it's a cardinal and not a raven/crow. Still sort of looks like this shirt.

Two windows available to "customize" too!

No automatic A, sadly. The raven in the poem sits atop a bust -- lit professors are all over the details.

BUT, beautiful design! I agree that it's the most artistic we've seen in awhile.

Great design. Clever and subtle, yet an obvious reference. Not an easy trick to pull off. Well done.

Totally agree.

Indeed, the subtle but easly understandable way it goes is great!

No Lombardi trophy?

I think I get this shirt. The Raven symbolizes the world champion Baltimore Ravens while the Pac-Man ghost eyes in the other window symbolize the San Francisco 49ers, who just got beaten in the Super Bowl by the Ravens.

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore". In for two :0)

Actually, it's a great poem. Why the hell aren't you gaga over it? It deserves a plethora (a PLETHORA!) of damned raven shirts. There is no limit.

Wotto you talking about? Walmazan's the man with the plan.

you guuuuuuys, i don't get the Williams reference.

Wait...what?
I didn't know Wotto had a hand in this design?

What is the meaning of this? Explain yourself madam!
:D

The design is beautiful, and the description is Classic Williams! Color me Floored! I'm in.

It's like a window to my tell tale heart...

As a Steelers fan, I could never wear this, ha ha. But I have to congratulate you on a great design regardless!

congrats Wences!!

I think the raven said "Winter is coming". Appropriate message for today up here in the northeast.

This is awesome. This is the perfect shirt for art majors to wear around all their Nevermore wearing English major friends.

I don't know, i still like my original Nevermore shirt (which has somehow still not been reckoned, nearly 5 years later.)

Impulse buying??.......nevermore...nevermore.

Gorgeous and classy. Great work Wences. Breaks my heart that this can't be on AA...

No English major worth his salt would wear Nevermore given how it butchered the poem up. :P

Only if your new college is UVA.

I have checked out the sizing chart but I am not buying for myself and am stuck between men's XL and 2X. Woot shirts tend to run hipster-ly small-ish, right?
