 |
Very well done. $5!!!!!
|
 |
Nathan Griffin on May 04 '06 dammit. I hadn't seen the subs yet and I started doing a sketch for a Humpty Dumpty shirt, thinking MAYBE nobody else would have done one.
well done. |
 |
amazing!! 5555 great job!!!
|
 |
got my vote 5$
|
 |
Brilliant. This will totally be printed by the end of the month.
|
|
You should make a shirt out of just the 3 men in a tub, that one needs its own shirt! |
 |
Let's see how many poetically incorrect
(kinda like politically incorrect ) images I can find in your design : It was Jack and Jill who went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Here we see the dish that ran away with the spoon attempting to get that water. Little Boy Blue somehow has taken possession of little Bo-Peep's staff and her act of when she "fell fast asleep, and dreamt she heard them [her sheep] bleating." Yes, little Boy Blue fell asleep too, but he only had a horn. The staff and dreaming of sheep belong to little Bo-Peep. The three little pigs look like they're about to steal the materials they plan to use in making their houses. We see the butcher of three men in a tub getting scared by a spider instead of little Miss Muffet. The butcher resembles JOHN2's butcher/mermaid Threadless design. Humpty Dumpty is in the God position and little Boy Blue is in the Adam position based on the painting, "Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo. Anybody see some other things? |
|
I enjoy the idea, and it has been executed in a fun and interesting way, well done. I feel it would come across as a stronger design without the words. This would leave more to the viewers imaginination. The style of illustration creates a sensibility of nusery rhyme without the words. The readability of 'flowing' the text could be questioned. All in all I think it would certainly work better without it. Nice one.
|
|
this is lovely but its so big on the shirt.
i also think the words aren't necessary. pictures say everything. maybe if the words weren't there the image could be smaller? i like this a lot : ] |
 |
kooky love on May 04 '06 Nice illust!

Ste7en on May 04 '06 wow im proud you got the sistine chapel! thanks so much for the feedback so far...you'll also notice the butchers pose is from the sistine chapel, just below the adam and god piece
|
 |
awesome!
|
 |
this looks awesome.
i actually could do without the water-line at the bottom of the design. i wouldve liked a more subtle base of the picture, but it still gets a $5 from me. nice job! |
|
Here's the reference painting for the
butcher that Ste7en illustrated http://www.yepa.com/rome/images/s6.jpg And here's a view of Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel without being so close to it http://www.yepa.com/rome/images/r11.jpg |
|
Ste7en on May 05 '06 wow cool, thanks for posting those
|
 |
This is amazing.
$5 |
|
far too busy
|
 |
i want this shirt! now! $5 :D
|
|
Ste7en, you really put a lot of thought
and time into this design. I wish more designers would put as much of an effort into their designs. For those of us who like new takes on fables/rhymes/legends then you might want to check out . . . Castle Waiting - Fantagraphics comic book Fables - Vertigo comic book Hoodwinked - movie came out in Dec 2005 the Shrek movies |
|
Oh yeah,
Here's a new Threadless submission with a neat twist on the Rapunzel fairy tale http://threadless.com/submission/74963/Rapunzel |
 |
i want this simply because i just finished a 5 month long 3d animation project based on a futuristic version of the 3 little pigs
$5 |
 |
i thought the dish eloped with the spoon, not carried it off?
|
|
Ste7en on May 05 '06 "the dish ran away with the spoon"
open to interpretation |
 |
It's really, really, great. If you alter anything, you ought to make the water line at the bottom less profound and work that area so it ends less abruptly like the other sides of the design. Otherwise, perfect. 5$
And please don't lose the text. It completes the design very well. I may not even buy if you do srap it. |
 |
love it! It's a buy 5!!! But please make these changes: Add gingerbread man, make the water at the bottom thinner, add some cracks on the brick wall (because they look too perfect....), and I suppose that's it!
|
 |
i like the illustration :]
|
 |
great job! i want a gingerbread man on it as well (if it fits somewhere!) :D i agree with removing the text, except for the sheep bubble "baa baa" (actually i think you put bah, but baa is what sheep really say :P) -- the random baa-ing would be cute as the only text. but yes, definately remove the text because the illustration says it all. :) and also so people can concentrate on the drawings and figure out what they are instead of just reading what things are. okay, good luck! $5
|
|
Ste7en on May 06 '06 Good eye on the "bah bah"
I never took sheepish in highschool only latin for 3 years so im not very good at it. Thanks so far for the feedback. Keep it coming, I can take it coach. |
 |
WOW! I love this! I'm not sure if I mind the text too much, but I think it'd be understandable without it. I want this now! >.<
|
|
capital!! if it's legal, $5.
|
|
This design is great. My only gripe is to try and not have some of the text upside down. Aside from that, there's obviously a lot of thought and effort into this piece. I like the character designs, and the piggies with their material. Excellent.
|
 |
background color change?
|
 |
anapaulabcaldas on May 08 '06 fantastic! love it! 5$$ :D
|
 |
in love with this
|
 |
2$ because off the work..but..why this work?
|
|
Pretty... but there's no need for the text :)
|
|
cut out the text n some small things like stars, sheeps n cow!!
|
|
SO pretty
|
 |
I really like the all package
but is this usefull for the Blik people? |
|
Ste7en on May 09 '06 amigo:
I thought so. I mean a nursery rhyme styled wall set seems pretty cool to me. Because its vector, it can all be broken into different shapes too. Three men in a tub here, humpty dumpty there. Good times on and off the wall. But I could always be wrong. |
 |
So great. Bang-up job! $5
|
 |
girl.guide.gone.bad on May 09 '06 hahaha awesome. i like the made in china on the dish, although i wish there was a rainbow sheep in there (because to call him a black sheep would be discriminative!) although colour restrictions woulds limit him 'rainbowness'
$5 |
 |
looose theee teexxxtttt. people don't keep saying this for no reason. it is rarely necessary or effective.
|
 |
text is perfect in this design!
people rarely say this because they are afraid! |
|
This is amazing!
Good artistry, funny and intellectual while reminiscing on childhood memories. Definitely $ 5! |
 |
I really love this.
|
 |
I actually don't like the 'made in china' text on the plate. $5 without it, 3 with it.
|
 |
Andy Mason on May 10 '06 i didnt even notice that text until now... now i wanna change my vote from a 4 to a 0
|
 |
ZOMG like if you totally remove that text I will totally change my vote because I am soooooo offended by 'made in china.'
OH WAIT. This is great, you put a lot of time into this. |
|
*and it shows.
|
|
Ste7en on May 10 '06 I hope you're joking... Because about 3/4th of the world probably has dishes made in china. Theres nothing negative about it. Its a reference about getting out the "fine china" for dinner. But do what you will.
|
 |
OMFG, I CAN'T WEAR YOUR SHIRT NOW, IF IT WAS PRINTED, I'D ORDER IT AND THEN EXCHANGE IT FOR ANOTHER ONE.
THAT WASN'T MADE IN CHINA. BTW, this is better then like 899a.5% of the crappy made in Taiwan shirts everyone else has. good job. |
 |
xiv on May 10 '06 you can look at it several times and still not notice all of the details. it keeps your eyes and mind busy. Its funny, "cute" and well illustrated. i think its the winner for this comp.
|
 |
i don't foresee this getting printed as part of the blik competition
but i do see it getting printed in "chinese peaches"-like fashion. 5$ |
 |
fastjumper on May 10 '06 Awesome job.
keep it up:) 5$ |
 |
busy but im lovvin it.
haha made in china. :] $5 |
 |
streetwise on May 10 '06 This should be your first print. congrats man! 5$
|
|
Nice illustration. The text seems unecessary. But I like it.
This reminds me of the time I took my Turkish friend to a Christmas thing and they had some decor that included nursery rhyme stuff. He was SO baffled. I hadn't thought about it much, but unless you decend from certain cultures or lived in one, you wouldn't know these rhymes. I spent the rest of the night trying to explain them and how some have political implications and some are to teach stuff and some are just silly for the sake of it. |
|
I don't really get how this is a blik related submission but to be honest i don't really get the blik thing full stop.
Aside from that this is great - well thought out well executed, brilliant. Should definitely print =) |
 |
since ive looked at this like 100 times ive decided it deserves a print
|
 |
I can't stop staring at it!
|
|
THIS REALLY NEEDS TO WIN!!!!!
ITS AMAZING AND PERFECT! |
 |
Please print this.
