its looks fucking cool, but I'm not exactly sure what's going on here...All I can see is that Poe is freakishly large compared to the other people.
|
 |
ooh very nice
|
 |
okay i finally get the urban legends stuff now.
okay cool. now i don't feel as stupid. very cool illustration. |
 |
Luke... on Jun 28 '06 WOW!!!
awesome details. you really capured the feeling of the era with the illustration style. great muted colors, and a wonderful perspective. i love how it takes a second glance to realize the horror of the situation. |

DeadPoetic_Underoath on Jun 28 '06 great illustration...5$

stingerstyler on Jun 28 '06 damn! this turned out very good man, love the totality of this design. Very nice how this tells us a story. Left placement all over the shirt!!

mezo on Jun 28 '06 You sneaky, sneaky little man!
I can't believe how awesome this turned out!! Wait, you are THE grayehound, I should have known you'd blow us all away! Great perspective, by gawd. There so much mystery & details that I find myself staring INTO the design itself. You have taken t-shirt design & turned it into a fine art. 5$ |
 |
amazing illustration
|
 |
wow... I'm floored.
|
|
make the light part that is the color of the grave in glow ink!

Bramish on Jun 28 '06 WOW!

grayehound on Jun 28 '06 Weird how my initial comment was left off. So this was based on an old urban legend. Victorian views on death and funerals were a bit different than ours. There was a common fear of being buried alive, to the point that there were many patented coffin designs that included warning bells and escape hatches. So the legend is that Poe, long fascinated and terrified by death, was himself buried alive. Only this, and nothing more.

OMG, this shirt is pure genius! It's an original idea, and it takes irony to a whole new level. Poe would approve.

funkie fresh on Jun 29 '06 i love the detail and the colours and the placement and EVERYTHING...it turned out even better than i had pictured it in my head (and i was visualizing it to be pretty awesome).

$5 |
 |
Greatastic!
$5 |

I ususlly don't go for morbid things, but i really like this. 5!!!!
|
 |
damn. nothing short of fantastic sir. i'd rather it be on a darker shirt (seeing as how it's Poe and i'm sooo over natural colored shirts),but i'd wear this no matter what. bravo.

AMAZING. $5 I love it. I'd buy it.

and then I realized, "oh yeah, no one likes getting buried alive either." haha $5 |
 |
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
5$!! but i want 2 see a placement |
 |
shiroshok on Jul 02 '06 awesome composition man.
|
|
I like the style a lot. It evokes a mood I assume I would have in a similar situation...
|
 |
dear threadless:
print this shirt and i will love you forever. yours, 99 |
 |
That's amazing....I am not sure what to say to you, it's a great idea.

|
 |

|
 |
please make this shirt.
i love poe. U want this shirt so much! |
 |
Gringz on Jul 04 '06 almost missed this one
5 and buy |
|
i really like the design, but where is it placed? i dont think it really matters its still a $5 all the way
|
|
haha that is awsome!! and just cause someone mentioned the term "dead ringer" and the bell you have there: at one time we started to run out of room to bury the dead, so people would unearth old coffins to make room for new--when opening these coffins scratch marks were found on the inside of some and they realized they were burying people alive (how that happened it another story). So, bells were placed beside burials with a string running down to inside the coffin. so, if someone woke up they could pull the string hence the term "dead ringer" though that is only one theory of the terms origin.
|
|
I like this one very much. 5$ from me. I'm more of a Lovecraft fan, myself, but Poe's very good too. What is it about New England and the north-eastern United States?
|
 |
I love the idea, and the good design just brings it home.
|
 |
This is the best shirt I have seen on here. :) I want it!
|
 |
i love this shirt i hope they print it
|
|
It took me about a minute to actually notice the skull. That's the secret here. It looks good from a distance, then it looks wicked up close...THEN you notice the skull. Or perhaps the other way round.... I'd buy it. 5.
|
|
Great idea, but I am not sure that it'll look fine on a Tee, besides the draw is a bit drafty.
|
 |
scoutti on Jul 05 '06 awesome illustration
but as a Tshirt graphic I'm not so sure either. I believe tshirt designs should have an impact the second it is seen, instead of having somebody looking into the details to realize how amazing it is. |
|
grayehound on Jul 05 '06 Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! I really appreciate it!
|
 |
OlliRudi on Jul 05 '06 HOLY SHIT, congrats on the score graye!!

I'm so lame. I didn't even notice the memento mori until just now. If there was a six, I'd regret not having voted it. Instead, I'm glad I voted with a five. Good showing.
|
 |
$2000 definitely. Hook me up with an XL or XXL when it gets printed! Thanks!
|
|
travis76 on Jul 12 '06 i can't believe i didn't see the hidden skull till now. it's that good and i'm that dense! congrats on the score!

I LOVE this! It's possibly one of the best things ever. :) So glad it got made, I'm buying one as soon as I can! Pinkeyecandyapple, it's 'A Premature Burial'. I'd say it's definitly one of his scariest short stories! |

|
|
grayehound on Sep 07 '07 you missed a whole long discussion about that. he was originally buried in 1849 and reburied in 1875.
