where am i going with this?- i don't know. I just fit a bunch of iconology together into something that i thought looked cool, then tried to find my subconcious reason for it.
It's true, i used ALOT of premade dings in this piece. in fact, the only thing 'DRAWN' by me are the spatters....this was also an experiment to prove that context, placement and alteration of existing readymade art can still mean original design.

looks good on bright colors like blue, green and orange. negative spaces like the sword blade, the eye and the globe will be that of the shirt color.

The lobsterman model was originally made to sport a lobster theme shirt that didn't get made in time.
...but in a strange coincidence, i think there is a CONSPIRACY website called lobster.co.uk or something......hmmmmm.

Another great submission!
Ilove the design and colorss....

5$

you're cleaning up today Travis... great concept.

One of my favorite parts is seeing the people you model the shirts on... althought the shirt designs rock, too!

deffinitely strange and confusing...in a good way.
would look great as a large crest, pocket placement...

Wow!!!! Wow wow wow! You've outdone yourself! I hope you win!!! I'm so going to get some of these for X-mas!

5$ for the revolution! :) HAHA but WTF is that man wearing oven mittens for?

i waas going to do a lobster themed shirt at one point, and had this guy drawn up for it, but never finished the shirt, and just used it here for the fuck of it.

$5 for secret societies and all that.
Print it on green please! :)

dude, i want a shirt with that guy on it, he kicks ass

This one is really cool travis. I like how it is just straight clean graphics. I love your people and line drawings, I wish there were more of them up, like the robot derby shirt. Your drawing skills are pretty flippin' hot and inspirational, which makes it funny that I really like this shirt, not having any of your drawing at all. I guess it just shows what a good overall designer you are. Good work man!

i agree with Walls...make a tee with that lobster guy on it and i wanna buy it!!

wow, rockslide- compliments from the designer of the batmobile shirt are worth 10x- thanks!

damnit travis

this revolution thing is the best thing thats ever happened to you

how can you go wrong with a shirt that has guns swords wings and lightning!

and hearts, and spatters, and latin, i know!

haha F*** YES! this makes me want to rock and roll!

reminds me of those stickers that the army men would hand out in middle school or highschool.. I faintly remember.

immense detail
5

This one is rad, I no longer would need those secret handshakes if I had this one.

Bam! 5!

oh man i didnt even notice the heart and splatter

for that i give it a 12

gj

I'd hit it.
$5

if i wear this will i be able to get in at monte rio and kick it old school at bohemian grove?

give it up to the big owl y'all!
who-wa who-wa

5$

5 just for the lobster man

illuminati!

I dont think I need to explain my tshirt to someone everytime someone asks... and they will with this one. If you dont have an idea why your doing it then why.

Because it looks good and sometimes that is all i want, is to think to myself i like this 5$

I hope the graphic is big as is if printed

This is brilliant, I'd buy it.

keep em coming and ill keep 5$ing em

----------------I dont think I need to explain my tshirt to someone everytime someone asks... and they will with this one. If you dont have an idea why your doing it then why.--------------------------

you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

the point of our design revolution was to
1) change up our styles a bit
2)stray away from obvious jokes and even perhaps meaning at all
3) to focus on design, wherever it took us. you can improv anything, even tee design

I love it and I would buy the shirt, but just so you know, the Latin's wrong. It should be In dei absentia or In absentia dei. Deo is the ablative, so the shirt says "in god (and) absence". Fix that and the shirt's perfect.

i didnt read the description, but i would get the shirt just cause i didnt under stand it .

good call on the latin- i will fix it easily if that's the case.

Way to break out of your design comfort zone...ONCE AGAIN.

Sweet design, Trav. I'd sport it...even WITH the latin typo.

I really love this design, and I'd definitely buy it, but I'm kinda confused about the message.

I guess I don't understand why you're saying that things done in the name of God prove God's absence...

too much splatter, get over the splatter

i want that man on my shirt. he is awesome.

---roughly, men in power do things 'in the name of god' (war-etc) that men would only do if they didn't believe in a god, and thought that thier power was absolute......or do things in the name of god that would surely make god cry.

ah, so mindless random iconography with no clear message?

so you're vomiting a cacophany of images driven by paranoid delusion onto a mini walking billboard and you admittedly don't have a point.

so tell me why this deserves anything but the lowest possible score?

The only thing that wearing this shirt will do is spread more half-baked, off-base ideas among our generation, which (if you're really honest) you'll admit has no clue where it is going or what the images really mean.

That's _EXACTLY_ the kind of crap that needs to be spread around, worn on a tshirt by our clueless peers. Yeah, all in the name of looking cool and having a tshirt nobody else has.

you get the heartbreaker, no question.

on the other hand, were it an image of the lobster man _wearing_ this design....

that i could live with.

because he kicks ass.

Lolz, yay for the Illuminati! Bavarian power company workers! Love it and I'll buy it as soon as it prints!

i love you Dperk/Mal agate, even though you don't understand me, or submit work.

I'd definantly buy this. 5.

I can appreciate that, travis, and I think I understand you more than you think I do.

Didn't intend to be so vicious about it, sorry about that. I love almost all of your other work.

But I still don't care for this particular design.

Sorry.

i want this

Awesome theme,lovely icons, great colors. Totally buyable.

I would seriously consider buying a t shirt of that guy without the design.

Wow this is aweeesome

Um, I'm not sure why everyone else thinks this is so awesome. I don't think art needs an 'explanation' and I'm also surprised everyone isn't saying "the image is too big on the shirt!" as they often do.

I guess it's just not doing much for me... Sorry.

didn't know there were standards on print size other than 13"x13"...but sure, ok.

Im sorry, but this ended up being a huge disapointment, whoever scored this low should be ashamed, what a great shirt this would have made. :(

*in response to stikymike*

awww... it's not getting printed?
son of a bitch! I really wanted this shirt too.

i'd totally but it - one for me, one for all my friends.
