Gee, thanks folks! I'm really happy with the initial response, as I was truly worried some might think that it was "too girly". As Pepper mentioned (and who deserves credit for help last year on deciding on colors, along with others like Mihalis Aya), this is a single part of a four part series, one for each season. Hopefully, we can get them all printed and you can 'collect them all', like beanie babies or designer knives but without the crushing shame.
Seriously, though - chicks seem to dig this shirt, and be sure to check the designs on the right - all of them could be potential prints if the feedback is strong enough.
Lastly, I'll post big versions of some of the images on the right; some need to be seen big to get the details, in particular "Endless Cycle", which is the mandala looking one.
That is so pretty! Love the colours, and the geometric snowflakes and then the sketch lines on the figure and umbrella is a really striking contrast. Really stunning, definitely getting this one! Like the designs on the side too - the star wars one made me lol. Congrats Aegis!
Wow. I do not see why this shirt is getting so much positive feedback. Sorry Aegis, but the line work in the design is really spotty. There are places where the colors overlap the lines and the lines themselves are sporadic. And after that the snowflakes are so circular which bothers me because they do not flow into the shirt. And her hair is awkward - parts of it continue from no and parts end abruptly.
The idea for the design is cool but if you ask me the craft is poor. Not for me. Sorry.
I just had to say something because no one said anything.
"I just had to say something because no one said anything."
Actually, you didn't have to. It's cool that you don't like the style, NP. But the design is supposed to look that way - it isn't a mistake or spotty work. If you think this one looks like ass, that's cool with me - some of the people some of the time and all that.
Pretty, but I wouldn't wear this. That AT-AT shirt, though, wow, I'd get that and I don't think I've owned a Christmas-themed piece of clothing in my adult life.
i love it. too bad i cant buy it though. i love the war hero one too! its really effective too i guessed the name before i even looked thats awesome enough to be the next one.
"Pretty, but I wouldn't wear this"
Understand - it definitely is on the margin of girlieness for sure. I sort of wish that they offered screened ink PRINTS too - no different on the process, but perhaps an idea suited for designs that people would like more on the wall than across their chest.
That said, I'd LOVE for "Merry Hothmas" to print. If you'd like to see it, just be sure to contact the Teefurious Five and express your opinion.
I guess that rambling missive is supposed to be a review? In any case, next time I'll be sure to design something speciffically with you, sblake, in mind. :/. I have an idea for one that has bonnie Tyler jumping caesar's palace on a harley under the heading "holding out for a hero". I'll be sure to let you know when it prints.
Time grows nigh on this so my thanks to those who had kind words and/or purchases. They've done pretty well so far, ESP considering the timing on this, the day before thanksgiving. Happy holidays, everyone!
A word from the curator: What I love about this design is how it captures a quiet moment, even going so far as to show the stillness of the character melting into the land itself.
Where do you find inspiration? Everyday life. My brain is broken and is constantly making mashups of totally unconnected concepts. I often just take two things I recently saw and tie them together with digital string. Usually, the results are very, very dumb.
Age/Sex/Location - how long have you been an artist? What kind of artist are you? Age 36/ Sex M/ Location Hous-Ton, Earth I don't know if I am an artist, but I started doing it very young... It's been my full time gig now for 15 years or so.
Blonde or brunette? That's like the 90's Blo-pops commercial. Anytime I am asked this, I say "Both"!
Paper or plastic? See above.
XBOX, Playstation or WII? Xbox because I like funding the Gates Foundation. But really, I play anything.
What do you love more than anything in the world? Cheesy, but my wife and daughter.
What do you hate more than anything in the world? Willful Ignorance and those who disdain intelligence.
Most overused word in the English Language? Paradigm.
Most annoying celebrity and why? Benny Hinn or Hagee, it's a toss up..
Favorite band and why? Rush is the only band the world needs - Their songs touch on many varied topics and their talent is unsurpassed. I also like classical stuff, and a bunch of weird bands that I might mention later.
Top 5 sources of online inspiration. Wow - I have no idea. What a lame way to end an interview!

Come to think of it, it is kinda girly. Then again, I've always had quite a bit of a feminine side. .____.;

What is with the hands? Are those supposed to be flesh coloured boxing gloves? I guess those granny doilies are supposed to be snow flakes?
Disappointed yet again.
