this is a soldier who lose his arm.

The background is a bunch of arms.

The global form can repesent a skull. I know, it's very abstract.

It's just the nonsense of war

Ok I see what you were trying for... but

The skull shape is too vague (you had to tell us...) and I still only barely see it.



And the guy's jaw is really weird.



The born in the USA text? Why born in the USA? Just the movie reference?



and lastly, the arm background? I looks like he has a arm afro.

That is what I thought when I looked at it.



Its a powerful concept, and I like parts of it but it has some issues (especially for a shirt)

This looks like a stoned doodle. Don't inject anti-war sentiments into it.

Another top-notch illustrator who's gotten screwed in the voting. Again because the ideas aren't "t-shirt" enough, for lack of better term. Nicely done illo, but how many people would want to wear this? It's not the art that'll kill this, it's the limited audience and lack of interest that will.

"I was born in the USA" is a Bruce Springsteen's song reference.

I originally thought the background was a hat. I think someting should be done to seperate it from the man.

Great style. I'd buy your work on a t-shirt but not this one. It would seem the only person who could wear this is the guy in the picture.

This is great work and I think that it could work on a shirt, even if it is just to showcase that. It's too bad about the reaction so far.

I assume the character featured on the shirt is the son of a Vietnam vet that was exposed to high levels of Agent Orange?

The line work is great, perhaps your grammar isn't. I "get" the drawing but i don't see the profundity. you get a 3 for the depth of the drawing.

loose the text and fix the person

would like to see some more of your designs, but think artsy t-shirts, not necessarily political statements

People will think it means Americans are freakish stump tubers. The background looks kind of like a huge goiter growing out the back of his head. I would like it without that.

But I kinda like it. I would wear it anyway, but I don't think many other people would.

ill trade u my soul for your talent-- and yes there is nonsense in war-- i guess not when its absolutely necessary but war itself is an ugly thing and shouldnt exist

Americans ARE freakish stump tubers! I would wear it every day.

Ineresting style.



Suggestion... i think it would be a markable improvment to have the hand shapes actually extruding from said soldiers hair. The image would become far more dynamic.

Love where your head is at- it's very different from other threadless shirts. I also love the illustration, but it's not really a shirt I'd rock. Sorry.



Still, a 4 for coolies.

I'm sure you had good intentions, however the visual is not clear. It took a while for me to realise I wasn't looking at a Ukrainian immigrant grandmother (thought the background was a head shawl). I don't see this serving it's purpose on a shirt, sorry.

That's a crazy cool design, but I don't know if I'd want to wear it on a shirt.

It is definitely a nice try at a political statement but often people get so carried away with the image that they carry about War, injustice and nonsense in general. I think this shirt is a good begining I think you need to take a few of the ideas but keep it your own as far as your point... I like it and I think if you looked back after a blast often you see lots of limbs lying around... sad? No the truth! Good Luck!

Hot topic and that's sure to draw fire. I like most of the art except for what's between the nose and the dog tags. As for the background I agree with DJLadyPope:



"I originally thought the background was a hat. I think someting should be done to seperate it from the man. "



Could the background be edited to look like a helmet maybe? I think that would clear things up (except for the now apparent question to why he's wearing a helmet of arms... perhaps a clever pun is needed). Get the mouth closer to the nose and... I don't know about the text I think there are other viable messages. "Served" maybe?

i noticed someone told you to take an art class...hmm someone told me the same thing about one of my recent subs. some idiots are stuck on one level and you can't get them to see anything else



i like this, i like how it's abstract and even though i think its wonderful and a great distraction from the same old things that we see submitted all the time, i feel like this will get overlooked. but i would wear this. i can't wait to see more of your work and keep your style. i bet if you stick with it, you'll break through.

The mouth is very much where I think, all the way to the right, above the neck.

Abstract, powerful.

Kudos.

i don't think this design really works, it's too "abstract" to where the viewer can't decide if it's a human or a russet potato... 2
ickabickaboo
ickabickaboo on Jan 21 '06
Gosh this design SUUCKS!

it makes the most dumb political statement ever " theres no point in war"????????

thats one of the most retarded things ive ever heard

and just cause its a horrible drawing doesnt mean its abstract it means he needs art lessons and so does jiggerlo



and also his arm DOES look like a limp penis

$0 (damn liberals)

Yeah ickabickaboo, thank you very much for your comment.

I like it because you are the new" Che Guevara" and it's a great present to have this wonderful and constructive comment from someone who know the real sense of war.

Thank you forever...
