No deep meaning, no reference to 'the arcade fire', it is what it is- Ironic and straight forward- a throwback arcade machine exploding in pixelated flames.

Inspiration was the wall decor of 80's arcades, (the word 'BLIK', which seems like the perfect video game noise or retro title), the generic panel art on refurbished machines, and nostalgic childhood memories.
Wording on the machine can be changed, the word 'BLIK' can be put there instead of 'GRAXXON' if they want.

The design is made primarily with a gold or blue shirt in mind- which will be used as the fifth color.Other color options involve green, purple or even red tees replacing the blue or yellow areas. Any of the bolder tee colors can be used, but blue or gold best represent the retro theme and color scheme.

love the pixel fire...nice color use overall...and i like the inspiration of blik being a video game noise.

fantastically awesome. Colors are nice and the pixelated fire is great!
Nice presentation, too!

I love this, but loved it more with the ship on the side of the cabinet.

Pixelicious! $5

I think this would make a very nice mural.

haha, quality
love the ad...
great design, brings me back to the old dark and dingy basement arcades our generation grew up in.

i don't think there's enough of 'our' generation voting anymore, luke!

The colors are disgustingly retro.
I would vote, but my wrists are too sore from playing with the joystick. That may sound dirty, but it ain't!!

Great job on mixing vector with the raster feel. Came out perfectly.

yeah like i said on an earlier blog this is nice travis ... good old school look to it .. makes me remember teh days when I had to stand on a step stooll to see the game

it's all raster either- done in p-shop, i'll vector it if they come asking for it.
the ad was for a pacman shirt, btw...boy, that '$15.00' sticks out like a sore thumb now.

I'm getting old. I love it. I'm having flash backs of my youth. Makes me think of Dig dug when the dragons blew pixel fire at me. *sigh* 5$ and a buy!

Oh, I do love your clever title. This is one of the best gaming theme shirts I've seen on threadless. $5

cool it's up already that was fast.

$5

love the whole cheap, 80's comic, advert presentation.

awesome. i like how you just pixelated the fire. great job.

i prefered the jet on the side to be honest.

pixeltastic! with retro ad. love it!

I love this. A lot.

I like the direction you went with the computer grafx, it's more effective and now you don't have to hear "copyright this, copyright that"

thanks rob, alot of people liked the spaceship, but the idea isn't really about a spaceship game....and therefore, it was too overpowering.
all that will be lost on the average voter though.

by average voter, i mean I LOVE YOU ALL!
eh heh heh :)

not in the fricken middle

I want to see a bottom side placement... 5$

bottom side with the flames facing the center is definately possible.
i don't even think about placement so much anymore- it's one of those things that ends up being up to threadless in the end.

there are some names on threadless where you can click 'id buy' before you even see the image... u r one of those people

5$

Maybe have clearer text at the top. Other than that, perfect.

this is awesome. id wear it fo' sho'. $5.

I really like this and it's original

Very cute, not to mention the title made me choke on muffin with laughter.

^ yeah, great title.



i still am not sure about the text up on the top. but good job.

so very creative.

$5

If I could buy the AD on a t-shirt, I would. It is LOL.

It looks like a poster for The Arcade Fire. I have it as the wall paper on my computer.

but every asshole i walk by will disagree with you

love it. Even if it isn't a representation of the arcade fire, I still like it very much. Love the shirt, love the band, even if they dont go together. I'd buy it.

zero just because you wouldn't wear it?

that's what's wrong with this system......

this is frickin' AWESOME!! i'd totaly wear it- and whats up with everyone saying *bottom placement* - fuck bottom placement, it looks awesome where it is, and only slim people can pull off the b.p.!!
£5

this tee is awesomee.
so, i give it a five. D:

Like it, but too many explosions on the side of the system, can't enjoy the pinstripes.

does every 12 year old think we artists know who the hell arcade fire is? I DONT. I dont know your music and I dont want to.

yay pixels.

Retrolicious!
Have you considered doing a similar design on a black T with green, vector line graphics? Or even white if you wanna go totally old school.

2.31...very surprised! my lowest amount of comments in a long time, but it worked out alright!

my friends call me graxxon, its my nickname, where did you get the inspiration to put that on your shirt?

This is FanBloodyTastic!

I dunno if this works as a t-shirt design, but it would be hella lovely if it were printed up as a limited-edition postcard.
