great design! reminds me of the Japanese rising sun with a Thomas Kuhn optical illusion approach +1
man your good…i like how you off centered the design slightly too…rather than the boring totally symmetrical design. I’ll vote for this
nice design, got my vote, what is the back going to look like tho?
Bloody awesome. The color and style will make a great shirt.
left you a vote. Don’t forget to check "Blooming Imagination in my profile.
This design is awesome! I just hope it is moved even slightly more to the right of the shirt. Voted.
i think it would look better if it was off center to the left or right a bit more
+1!
What do you think of mine “One sky” ? page 2 in new submissions…my first design for humans…
please vote if you like it…
wow, would be great for writers. i think they wouldn’t mind looking fat too ;)
great idea and looks great, but for me not sold on the placement, however, still very cool.
Hey! You’ve submitted in ages :) great idea, and looks fine on the shirt! Now it’s a sure print!
nice design. it would look good if you gave the red area a “worn look” but its still a great design
check out some of my stuff if you get a chance
now that’s cool, hope to see a print from this one
even black and white would be great
nice shirt! +1
Also vote for my shirt “Christ the Redeemer!”
Thanks.
Later.
cool idea..love the red..+1from me..
please Vote for my design ‘SeahorseFlight’
just plain clean and simple, stands out amongst the other types of design on dbh, good luck with it, its a sure print
HOW did you come up with THIS WACKNESS, i declare THIS Design AWESOME!!! “GENIUSS,COOL,AND VOTED!”
i knew they’d print this…i was betting on it.
looks good man…I’d wear this
not a big fan of this new “each shirt unique” deal, just looks like the print was messed up
reminds me of my favorite band the white stripes for some reason. I might buy this just to wear to the concert actually.
nice one :D
Good job by dbh on this one. Not something I would wear, but it does look fun.
Very creative. Cool design/idea. Reminds me of the Japanese Rising Sun..
Thanks it was inspired by the Japanese Rising Sun. I have always found it as a cool graphic and wanted to design something around the concept with a twist to it.
This is FREAKING AWESOME!!! Well done – I love this – concept and implementations is fantastic!
this shirt is awesome! im just dont like messiness at the seams….
This shirt is amazing. I bookmarked this site a while back, and I looked back to this site a couple of days ago, and I saw this shirt, and I was surprised on all the new work! Keep it up, guys!
…Jus’ coped my print can’t wait till it getz from there 2 here…
GAB-yss
Whereas the “uniqueness” suits others (like Crows attackin, and keffyiah) because it looks distressed, it doesnt suit the straight lines of this… So I won’t be buying. Bold and beatiful Tee though, I would buy if I wasn’t buying so many already. Very Wearable! On future purchase list!
That’s such an amazing design!
Why did you have to go and screw it up on the neck and shoulders?
I agree with DanielOliver.
The print just looks messed up.
Such a shame to ruin such a classy shirt,
especially on such little details.
Mediclab: The neck and shoulders are printed like that due to the style of printing that is used to accomplish such a large print over all those areas. It is a minor flaw in the process that causes it to not print 100% flat on those areas. Nothing in the art was altered to make that “effect” happen it just happens. Don’t let it deter you from buying the design if you really like it.
I hope this one doesn’t sell out soon – I still have to get my checking card
hi nice t-shirt idea— feel free to visit my designs.. and please do vote if you like :)
one of my best guy friends just got this in the mail and it looks great, even better in person :)
Love the shirt design and the placement! Definitely going to buy this sometime! If you have time, I am new to DBH. I would love if you checked out my VZ contest submission. I would really like to hear your input. Thanks! Hope to see more of your work soon.
damn i missed the boat on this shirt….i almost wish i could gain another 70 lbs just to fit in the XXL
This shirt is amazing.
If I would have had money when this came out, I would have bought it without a doubt.
Considering medium, large, and extra large have sold out so quickly (in less than three weeks), I think a reprint would be great for DBH’s sales and for all of us who missed out.
=]
REPRINT!!!
I agree with _Create. Lots of cash for DBH if this shirt is reprinted :)
bortwein said: Yeah! Reprinted! and New Photos! You Rock DBH!
Glad to make your day bortwein.
Is the Ink drop still grey or is it now red (it looks blood red)? No issues if it is red because that puts a new spin on the design.

It is red this time around, but still has the clear foil overlay to make it stand out from the rest. We like new spins!
why does the red seem kinda faded? and the white doesnt look very bright. i think the design looks better on a bright, rich red and a really bright white
Kudos for the reprint but now I decided not to buy it :(
Like Soggy said, rich red and bright white looked better

I have to agree. :(
hahaha, if you click on his back view and her side view then he is checking out her butt. very funny.
I do have to agree about the shirt color here. The new red seems very washed out in the photos compared to the old version. If the color really is that faded red then perhaps dbh could re-evaluate the red color shirt with the shirt manufacturer when they go to update shirt colors in the future.
is it just me or she really looks like Mena Suvari!?(and awesome shirt totally deserve to be shirt of year :)
Yes!! Definitely reprint! Looks like there are men’s shirts left, but no women’s. Want…
Awesome concept! Could you lend a hand?
