About the Artist
dagnis has 35 designs in the running. This is the 1st winning design for dagnis.
Trying out different designs with stripes I finally came up with one I’d love to wear myself. Now I have brought it to your judgement, too.
Placement was more important for this design than the actual stripes so I decided to mix the order of the images.
To the several persons out there who love to spam around my designs – please, ignore it if you don’t like it. Let’s be grownups here.

Don’t teach me what is the differences between illustration and design, im graduated and I know about that.
Its frustating to me to never been chosen since one of my works have similar questions as yours.
with that level of intelligence, you’re up for a life of constant unpleasant surprises.
You make a strong case dagnis! I agree about illustration and design. They’re two different things. I also get this comment sometimes because some of my works are simple. Congrats again on the SOTW! Now go and buy my shirts with your money! hehe
Its TOTALLY impossible to convince someone the opposite in the internet, maybe everyone fell so protect behind their anonymity.
I’ll stop arguing and I’ll just accept the injustices of this cruel world.
wow!!! you are worshiped like a t-shirt god and when somebody expresses their tastes in their own questionable – maybe) manner you and your worshipers just want blood!!! well here I go for the total internet kill: “I do not like this shirt” there I said it, I do love your other stuff but this one I just don’t… the colors … the lines, sorry you can not implement some sort of a higher, guru knowledge of design and enforce it on people to like everything you do…so please deal with it, and the final word: overall hats down to your designing skills, just not to this outcome.
i really like the simple pattern and stripe based stuff in your gallery. hope more gets printed.
Neh, no one worship’s Dagnis, he just has a nice online persona and his designs work really well for some of us.
Bogoio, I wouldn’t wear your designs on a tee, sorry. Most of us here would have some sort of design education too yeah.
Now I’m gonna buy me this tee! Yippee!!
Once again….dbh has disappointed with the quality of their product. The print on this tee was defective and they still sent it over. It was so obvious, yet dbh had no qualms about sending it out. Wake up dbh, yeah you’re big now, but don’t leave the quality and customer service that got you here in the first place, behind.
Dude I really like this design, especially the colors you used… The color scheme you used looks a lot like the logo of the game Final Fantasy X, not sure if you played it but I thought that it may have given you some ideas :)
i just got it, looks amazing as hell, but it was very sticky when it came!
This Shirt Is AWESOME! the blue at teh bottom compliments jeans very well :P
I have this shirt, it’s great. I wish some of the design went onto the back though.
Sick shirt, but I really wish the stripes would have extended to the back.
Shirt is cool but it looks like the pinned the shirt in the back in this picture to get it to look like that. I wear it a little less then my other DBH shirts. Some days it just feels like a bit too much.
The one i bought had some manufacturing faults on the top (it looked a little bit like on the 3rd picture, but worse)and was all sticky (beeuuaaah). I saw other people got the same printing problem. It’s a shame for a so beautiful design being waste like that. I don’t care about the fact it was sticky (one wash is enough to solve it), but i think the two problems are related because all this glue caused pleats that might have created the defects.
So i am very disappointed and i won’t take the risk to buy it again until we know for sure that it has been properly reprinted.
:-(
Nice design. I’d like to see more like this in new forms and colors
it’s funny that my beach volley coach this summer was from california and i gave him a copy of this. the poor shirt had traveled all this way to latvia just to return to CA a couple of months later
haha, will this have any more sizes, i was really hoping to buy one :(
congratulation very nice works if you are a free time please come to appreciate my work thanks
Too busy, and don’t like the gradient through it. His eyes are too close together also. It’s distracting. I’m a dick.
I bought this, it’s my first t-shirt from DBH. Wearing it now, I love it!
I just WISH it had been pure white background, it’s really annoying because it looked white in the picture. And I wish the stripes went all the way around – it’s kind of weird having them just stop. So I don’t think it’s as good in actuality as it is on the screen.
That being said, it’s still really cool and I never like new shirts at first. Great job regardless!
I bought this and it’s just arrived… but it’s yellow. Great.
Why is it white in the picture and yellow in reality?!
It actually says “Light Yellow DBH Perfect Tee” in very small lettering just above the size picker. :)
But, yeah, I agree that the confusion might be disappointing and I now regret a bit that I advised for the “yellow snow” tee when submitting this.
I’d like to see this design printed on a completely white shirt if it gets another reprint someday in the future. Would make the design look cleaner. Well, what can you do.
I bought one for my sis and we got it in white… I think the DBH inventory is a bit loopy. A ordered a couple of other shirts in the same size and when I got them the sizes were all different.
It’s funny, I wore this again today at school. Usually we have to wear uniform, but today was a special day. People told me how much they liked it. I think the lighting in the room I opened it was a bit bad, because it looked a lot whiter when I was walking around outside. It almost reminds me of a toga, the way the lines stripe diagonally. This is undoubtedly my favourite shirt I own. Great job again.
pretty neat, but i don’t think it suits the male model (above) at all (not that that is your fault) just saying…
i’ve always found it interesting that some people think that this is an illustration competition here not a shirt design competition. design and illustration are two completely separate things. a great illustration not always is a good product design and a great product design is rarely an advanced illustration. so it’s frustrating that my works are being judged by criteria i’ve never tried to follow. i guess some people here believe that the best way to sell a bottle of pepsi would be to draw a mona lisa on it instead of just writing pepsi in a strong way that works. weird.
