    I like the placement, but not such a fan. On those colored shirts, they seem like they would look floral from a distance. Love the 1 color look though.

    Very nice.

    A quick question: do the two shades of gray cost the same as a one color print or is it two? I am gonna guess two, but I am not sure.

    Needs more alcohol.

    I like the shirt and the design overall (would be kind of cool if it went the whole way around). I'm torn about the color, because they're both great combinations, but doesn't really scream "Ireland" to me. Not really a fault of the design or anything, but that shamrock on the bottom right looks like a little asterisk over the groin and distracts a bit from the whole design.

    I'll probably buy, though.

    good job, congrats on getting a print! I like that there is more to the shirt than just a design. Keep it up, keep pushing forward, and keep those aspirations high!

    His last design "Call Me" (design all the way on the bottom) was much better.

    I don't love this one. I usually love Sweeney's stuff (I'm wearing the green shirt at the bottom of the designs on the side as I write this), but this one just doesn't do it for me. It seems a little plain, almost stale, especially set against the drab backgrounds. Some color would help this design immensely.

    I'm not crazy about the design because I don't feel that the crosses are very original (wish none of them repeated), and I'd like to see an Orthodox cross on there. Also, I'm not sure about the swirls. However, the verticality and placement is dynamic and I love the neutral colors. Great job and I may have to add this to my quickly growing t-shirt collection! Congrats!

    Can we move to ban anybody that chimes in to say "First"? If for nothing more than to set an internet precedent.

    i second the motion to ban "first" comments although i probably am guilty of it. i ll have to check the budget to see if i could add this one to my furious collection.

    liner13said 167 weeks ago

    So I had a question:

    First of all, I like the design. It is pretty basic but I feel like that's some of the appeal.

    Secondly, the question: I got your "call me" shirt in my grab bag and loved it but I keep getting asked what the numbers mean and I figured it was worth a shot to actually ask the artist and see if they were random like I've been telling people or if they had some secret meaning that you were willing to share.

    LISTEN UP, TEE FURY! STOP DIFFERING W/M COLOURS! I'm frickin' SICK of seeing awesome designs on hideous colours. I look like one of the rotting undead in Sand. I LOVE silver. I cannot wear a MS, plus, men's shirts fit different. I would get this IF I COULD GET IT ON SILVER.

  • image

    stablercakesaid 167 weeks ago

    Not a fan. It's a little too photoshop stamp-y/miami ink-y for me.

    This isn't anything to do with the design or artist, you obviously have talent, but as a resident of Savannah, GA, I have to say that St. Patrick's Day is getting so incredibly OLD.

    Um it looks best on sand.

    The dictionary is great for all of us. We should be kind to non-native English speakers (if that is the case) even though it is (apparently) a socially acceptable form of prejudice.

    An excessive number of crosses for me.

    To Fairynymph: not all the colors available for men are available for women. That may be why there are different colors offered for men and women at times.

    wottosaid 167 weeks ago

    Apologies for the grammar in the question, probably due to my dyslexia.

    Here are some answers to your queries.
    It's not on green because the artist didn't want it on green and was going for a more subtle approach (A shirt you can wear all year round).

    It's on different colors because of the reason Snarkygirl gave ^.

    Liner13 I'll ask Sweeney about that number thing, good question.

    Like it a lot, but was never one for vertical designs. Especially not this one, mainly due to the color schemes and the almost-floral pattern. Good job, though, must've taken a lot of time :)
  • image

    Isosaid 167 weeks ago

    Sadly, this looks like an overuse of the "celtics and coils" Photoshop brush set.
    Don't like it. Seems very random and neither the symbols nore the colors are my thing.
    But I do like the design's vertcalness (... verticality? whatever!) and placement.

    Not a big fan of this one, and sad I missed out on the "call me" shirt. My boy has it and I love it. Come to think of it, I could probably just wear his ^_^

    But yeah, this one feels a bit too stampy for me [to second someone else's opinion] I like the fact that it's on grey though, ties in with the stone rubbings and all
  • image

    Arellesaid 167 weeks ago

    While I see everyone's points, I personally like this shirt a lot. Of course, I'm a sucker for celtic designs. But I really like the elements in it, and the subtlety of it--I would never buy a green shirt with a shamrock on it, but I'm very likely to buy this one. I'll give it a little more thought first, but I'm definitely liking it.

    Keep up the great work!
  • image

    GriffinFiresaid 167 weeks ago

    I love the design, and I really like the placement on the shirt. I agree that I like this colour much better than if it had been green. I also agree that it would have been nice if each cross was completely unique, but I still like this enough to buy it. :)

    jomus001said 167 weeks ago

    The design itself is nice, but the men's silver makes the design look metallic and mechanical from far away, almost like gears grinding until you get up close... :-/

    I like it on sand. I am not a female. If I liked the shirt any more I would consider an operation.
  • image

    MyrddinDerwyddsaid 167 weeks ago

    I bought a mens because I like the silver with this one :) However, I'm in agreement with pretty much everyone on here IT NEEDED TO BE GREEN! I would have liked it much much better if it had had more actual knotwork in place of the crosses however. The celts were around looooooong before Christianity.
  • image

    itsbethsaid 167 weeks ago

    I have rules against both crosses and skulls, which means I'm outta luck around here more often than not.

    I have the opposite problem, Fairynymph, I almost always prefer the women's color but there's no way I can squish my boobs into even the WXL. :|
  • image

    GlassPoppetsaid 167 weeks ago

    I really like the shirt, but I understand where everyone is coming from. Though I did want to comment on sw33tt3a03's comment. I am not Christian, and I have absolutely nothing against crosses. Besides. To me, they make the shirt and the theme, regardless of religious views. I have never been this excited about a teefury shirt before, and though I've purchased several, I made an account to comment on this one in particular.

    Absolutely love it. And, I'm not entirely sure I would buy it in green. I think it would've been too holiday-y. Like, how can I put it - too commercial. Like the artist tried *too* hard. I really like the sand, so I'm rather excited. I'm also very tall, (which is why I love teefury shirts so much) so the vertical placement + the crosses + the Celtic symbols = complete win for me, though I understand why it isn't for some people. :)

    Awesome job, Sweeney.

    twoifbyseasaid 167 weeks ago

    Personally, I would not buy this.
    It does look floral from a distance, and that's just not cool with me. There are also too many crosses for me. I did notice the triqeta in the upper left of the design, and that balances them out a bit, but not enough.
    As for the shirt color, I like the fact that it's not green, but I think it would've been better if they were both a more outright blue. I think it would ad a bit to the design in whole, and it would also represent St. Patrick more, as his color was blue.

    GeriMarssaid 167 weeks ago

    This makes no sense to me. Why wasn't this printed on a shade of green? Or in shades of green on a nice contrasting color? I would've considered it then. In fact, I would've enjoyed wearing it on St. Paddy's.

    Sadly, I think this was a bungled choice of colors.

    Captain Itesaid 167 weeks ago

    I kinda hate to be nitpicky, but it sort of bothers me that the shirt is titled "For Patrick", and yet it's covered in four-leaf clovers.

    It just kinda goes to show how the vast majority of people don't really get St. Patrick's Day. The four-leaf clover isn't even an Irish symbol.

    The shamrock, with it's three leaves, is a symbol of St. Patrick because according to the stories, he used it to explain the Holy Trinity. There's only three of them. Not four.

    I don't care if you don't believe in the Holy Trinity: there's no denying that the holiday exists because of the man, and the shamrock is representative of him because of the Trinity, and that a four-leaf clover completely misses the point.

    I saw the celtic crosses and the shamrocks and thought this shirt would have been great in light green, and the ink a dark green, or the other way around but still, it needs green! It feels rustic and old in the color it is now, and it does remind me of all those pewter celtic crosses you see though, heh.

    Seriously though, I think the cross is such a powerful design motif in general. Doesn't mean I care for religion, I just like the shape. Let's get someone to mix more skulls with crosses and see if we can't piss off some religious zealots!
