About the Artist

824

tomburns has 31 designs in the running. This is the 5th winning design for tomburns.

7 colors, all over print on a burgandy shirt.
The name references a character from a book I am reading, but doesn’t have much to do with the design, other than it is a girl and in my thoughts.

Mmm… I think the discussion is not going in the right direction… I agree with hipaulie & tomburns. I take two side :P. I like the skills of tomburns, it shows really well in this design. And I agree with hipaulie of “not everyone can wear this design”. BUT i think that when someone is gonna wear it, it’s gonna kick ass! That design is just not for me, but congrats on the print! Well deserved in my opinion! You were inspired by witch book?

I believe the book is Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut.

I was looking at this tshirt and thought I would love to wear it if it was a women – I’m sick of the stereotypical images of passive wispery women – I was thinking how would that image be different if it was obviously a woman – I love the image – then I saw your comment about you having the image of a woman in your head – it makes such a difference to me having that in your head, I love it.

circe berman was essentially a muse who inspires lead character, rabo karebekian to tell his life story, and at the same time, unravel who he really is so that he is able to then inspire others.
these are characters in the novel bluebeard by kurt vonnegut jr. I am still reading vonnegut’s novels, and now have only a few left before I have read them all! :)

wow, yeah, you’re totally out of control. someone should put you back in your place for being so creative! The corporate agents will be coming after you to brainwash you into liking their hot topic consumer designs! I’m one of them. You have no place to run or hide. Shouldn’t have put your radical thoughts out in public, because now you’re going to pay for it.
… this is a really fucking awesome shirt : )

There are too many amazing things about this shirt that I can’t begin to list them all. The Vonnegut reference and the fact the hair looks like sinew to make up for the model’s lack thereof truly sealed the deal for me though. Gorgeous.

finally got mine in the mail. love it.

what makes the inside of the shirt sticky when you first get it though? it feels like glue…maybe the waterbase ink?
