Threadful

The Threadless blog forum moves too fast for me sometimes, so this is where I talk about the stuff I like.

king of the nocturnal's - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

What I love about this shirt is what many of the commenters seem to dislike. the crazy (asymmetric!) swirls and details are awesome, but all the more so because of how simple the owl is. If the owl were more detailed, it would blend in with the linework, and the design would be ho-hum--just another swirly shirt.

But look at this. It's awesome. Bright yellow eyes, so bold that you don't notice anything else until you look harder. Then you see fancy, intricate linework all around, and in the middle, BAM. Nothing. Just barely there, an owl, staring with its huge empty eyes.

I think it's awesome. Very underrated submission.
