dove will dominant. they flew in one direction, i want to catch them on tee.
doves are pretty. they just so happen to be cousins of the pigeon, which is terribly hated here in NYC. i never knew why though.. i mean they can poop on you, but all birds can except for perhaps flamingos and turkeys, cause they dont fly :)
and everyone can use more red shirts! lol.
Nice idea!
This would really get a great feeling if the doves would have a dark red shadow instead of the black maybe :)
nice design.. I like IT.. see my design too? vote is much appreciated..
Love the design and the color you chose for the shirt is perfect. +1
Plz stop by and check out my new design Boombox and let me know what you think.
Peace, Love & Hair Grease.

This design is running now in www.emptees.com
i know, i posted it there.
emptees isnt a ‘contest’ site, you dont get anything for posting it there. its more of a ‘hey check out my work!’ site than anything else. that site is all about sharing t shirt designs, but they dont actually sell t shirts.
seems like the reverse version of “Black Crows in the Dead ’o Night”

while that is one of my favorite designs on this site, i made this design for something else before seeing that. it occurred to me not long ago that this would look amazing on a t shirt, and here it is now.
the black crows design also utilizes only one colour with discharge, this is certainly not like that (though i love discharge prints!).
great designs! +1..
please check out my designs n vote if you like them..thanks=)
not trying to accuse you of anything asher…just reminded me of it that’s all

its all good. i love the shirt that you mentioned too – so for my work to remind you of something that i personally love is almost like a compliment.
Love the concept, color and placement !! +1
Please check out my stuff and vote, its appreciated! thx!!
Good luck!!
bortwein said: this is too cool not to print.
coming from you that means a lot to me :)
and thank you to all the awesome people who have voted and commented for my design so far – you guys rock!
Any chance of doing it on a blue too? I like the design, but I just don’t wear red.
Some people have complained about the overuse of birds, but I think if something is done well and it’s a good design, who cares? +1

haha thanks :)
i suppose DBH can print it in blue – although i severely prefer red (im quite the red person :)) but i think this could look good on a medium blue/aqua (like AA’s teal).
why dont you wear red? red is like the best colour ever, besides white and black which arent colours :)
I’ve seen so many bird designs on this site it’s nice to see one stand out a bit, which yours does, in my humble opinion. Great work. +1
I took a look trough your site (I can’t sleep)
and In my opinion this is your best t-shirt-design. (But your link is dead on your site)
so +1
Also I wanted to tell you that on your painting (NUDE No. 1 Oil on canvas, 14 × 18)
I liked how you brought the red out of the skin.
very nice.
edit: huh I click on the vote-button, and it doesn’t add my vote.
gonna try later on again. :s

Cool!
+1 for this red shirt.
Goodluck with the 850, got a ’91 940 myself.

haha dude i just bought your freedom fighter shirt with the DBH dollars i got from this print.. last one in stock of my size, if im not mistaken!
thank you everyone!
It’s a cool shirt, but all it does is remind me of how DBH won’t reprint “Dead O’Night” any time I want to buy it. :(
Way to go Ashley!!!! CONGRATZ dude really glad about u :) awesome win,
will beg my dad & would def. buy..
Birds & red..made a gorgeous print!
Cheers
for some reason, this makes me think of Trafalgar Square.
I really love the colors. Out of the many many shirts in my closet, I do not own any red shirts. This will be my first one!
congrats Asher
sweet shirt. saw this on emptees earlier and definitely wanted it in my closet. nice use simplicty throughout the whole shirt

LMFAO.
yeah, its been a long time coming :)
I already have 3 or 4 bird shirts and they are popular, match my tattoo, and get good feedback when i wear them; however on this you can’t tell if they are actually birds or not.
Just looks like a blob of stuff in the middle, but the top and bottom you can make the birds out. To bad i really like the color choices. Maybe next time, congrats on winning regardless!

Uh, vision problems? I don’t see how those look like anything besides birds.
Anyway, congrats Asher on the print! You deserve it.

Yeah, I agree. I mean I can see that the top and bottom part is obviously birds but the middle part? Blobs.

i can see what both of you guys are saying, and i agree to some extent. could of it been better? anything could be better. heck, collision theorys 10k winner from last year could of been better, and hes at the top of his game. we can all do better. as an artist you strive for 100% but on a good day youll get 98-99%. you cant be perfect.
i could of outlined the birds so that they wouldnt of looked like a ‘blob’, but i felt that would take away from the design – i wanted this to be abstracted, where you see colours and shapes first before seeing whats actually there. im all for realism (or perhaps a more clear look) but this design wasnt meant for it. some of my other designs have more realism to them, so are more abstracted, i kind of like to play with both and mix them together. my blue leaves design is a perfect example of realism and abstraction mixed together.
thanks everyone!
I find the design very interesting as is. However, I am not sure about the red t-shirt. Any chance at a color option? I usually go for darker, more subdued colors.

perhaps in the future if this shirt sells out and gets reprinted theyll offer it on a grey? that would be kinda cool, and i honestly didnt even think of offering that option till now.
im a fan of bright colours myself :)
I am a fan of bright colors too, although this color is a bit odd. I still really like the shirt and design tho! I would get it if I had the money!
Nice job man! Don’t ever defend your design. It won, that’s the only defense it needs. Besides kiddies, DBH is about printing art, not tee-shirts. Get those at Walmart. Art is subjective. Not everyone will dig it and the great thing about it, is that it will invoke a feeling, good, or bad and that’s the main objective of art. Kick ass Asher!

dude you are like my hero lol.
a lot of people on here have compared my design to yours, saying yours is better. im proud of my work and all, but yours is better cause its clever design wise. mine just looks cool haha!
im gonna have to get your red riding hood shirt when it reprints.. such a sick design, really pushing the bounds of t shirts.
What is up with all the bird shirts? Every popular tee voting website, I can’t get away from them!
Not griping at the artist, congratulations on the print. But seriously, is everybody that infatuated with tons of birds on a shirt?

its because birds are awesome when theyre not pooping on your head! and, if you wear this shirt and they happen to poop on your shoulder no one will be able to tell! :)
heres some other designs of mine that are birdless that you might like some more – go vote for them if you do! blue leaves and I turned into a tree.

Birds sometimes offer you a feeling of confidence, with this recession going on…having a ton of birds lifting you can sometimes be helpful:) because its a symbol of freedom, carefree and getting high! hehehe just my POV :) but hey it’s a cool shirt so why not try one and let the experience tell you:)
looks alot like “Black Birds Attackin in the Dead O’ Night”, which is a great shirt
