About my design

by davidfromdallas   
Every one of us is either in the "loved" stage or the "pre-loved" stage. Just like objects, people can get handed down and passed around before they finally find that perfect someone.



This is the story of an average man looking to be loved.



Hope you enjoy.

Yeay at the most literal take on the Pre-Loved theme and double yeay for it being this inspiring! Not something i would wear but something that deserves a printing, LOVE the subtle change in color smudges throughout the piece and the overall comedy/sincerity/sweetness of the design, three moods which are hard to juggle together!

really like the style the figures are drawn in and looks really good on the tee. would prefer the text to be handwritten in the same simple style as the drawings. 5

hahah this is so awesome! Eventually you can do the sequel starting on the ¨love¨ then the relationship goes to shit with ¨selfishness¨ then ¨infidelity¨ then ¨jealousy¨ then ¨divorce¨ then ¨bitterness¨ then ¨double murder¨ then ¨prison¨....erm...anyway would wear this in a heartbeat!

Ok so I don't usually join random sites, but I can't find a way to buy this and I can't comment on here asking how without signing up. Anyway, I think this shirt is AMAZING but can't figure out how to get it. I searched it up on the site and didn't run into it, nor on a few sites like ebay or amazon (thinking maybe this was just the design and you were selling it somewhere else) I see the 'winner' of this contests's shirt being sold for twenty dollars but honestly its not that good and seems like a waste of money. I also have noticed the 5 dollar thing people keep putting up here and am wondering if that is how much the shirt is going for. If someone could help me find out how to actually get this shirt that would be very nice of you. And yes i understand it is probably something simple and obvious
