About my design
by travis76   
A pin-up portrait made with food to be extra tasty....with just a small nod to alcohol with the wine, I really tried to steer away from the deluge of other alcohol related subs with this one...even tried to distance myself from all the typical food subs....
-combined the three tastiest things I could think of: food, drink, and love. Based rather loosely off a Bettie Page photo, I hoped to keep the scheme like a retro illustration with a nostalgic primary colorscheme.

I <3 Bettie Page but this is slightly disturbing. Can't pin point why exactly... Am I the only one?

Clever though...

   travis76 on Mar 24 '06
it's definately supposed to be disturbing and quirky. not intended to be sexy in the least. just a trick of the eye thing where across the room it'll look like a pin up girl.

I really like the concept and the design. On a personal prefrence note, I don't like the color scheme, but that is completely subjective. Love it. A+ Good luck, bud.

It's a clever concept, but extremely distrurbing. It's not something I'd like to see someone wearing, truth be told.

Gross yet pretty awesome... in a weird way. I like it, its unexpected.
travis76
   travis76 on Mar 24 '06
i don't understand the disturbing part.... food portraits go as far back as the middle ages.
you can interpret it several ways:

1) in cartoons, when someone is so hungry, people start to look like food.
2) taking body shapes and turning them into food, all scaled correctly with each other, simple as that.
3) harkening to retro advertisement, and some of the tasteless and sexist stuff they used to come up with.
4) or the thing that must be bugging people, a serial killer making a girfriend out of food.

seriously, if i wanted to make it disturbing or offend, i'd have named it 'eat me' or 'i wonder what she tastes like' or even 'looks good enough to eat'.

i'm open to all critique, but please explain why it seems disturbing.

If it isn't Emo, it's disturbing... come on!! it's ridiculous, gimme a break...

I wouldn't wear it cause it's not my style, but it's a hell of an illustration...

The design is absolutely beautiful, and I'd buy it if it were a print, but I don't know that I'd wear it as a short. The illustration itself, however, is a 7.

I like how the colors give off a Hawaiian feel.

S. Betty on Mar 24 '06
First you said it's "supposed to be disturbing" and now it's NOT supposed to be disturbing. Which one is it? It's just a matter of opinion based off a viewer's perspective.

Some people just don't like seeing a sexy icon made of fruit... that's a simple reason.

or, your reason:
the thing that must be bugging people, a serial killer making a girfriend out of food.

it's just disturbing AND clever idea.

travis76
   travis76 on Mar 26 '06
thanks.i'd wear it too, i do hope it stands out,and that it can stand alone from the extra tasty contest.....which sucks because there are alot of great designs, but how many people really want to wear a martini or cocktail kit shirt out all the time....? right? probably about the same amount that would wear a food bettie...so we'll see.
i put down $1oo that an olive design wins!

I've seen this idea before, but never on a t-shirt. The colors and drawing style have made the image rather--disturbing? not too pleasing to the eyes?

Interesting though.

this is cool but totally creepy. I think its her eyes and the fact that her torso is made of a slab of meat. I mean..we ARE made of slabs or meat, but still.

I love it (and I love the controversy it's starting).
It's definitely distrubing, and I don't nkow exactly why.
But it's the good kind of disturbing!

Average score: 1.99? That's outrageous! This shirt's average should have been 3 minimum. Threadless voters need to get their heads checked.
