About my design

by wicked-studios
My girl came up with this one. I illustrated it for her. I can't decide on the specialty inks ... but oh well. I'll leave that part up to you guys and your comments (and Threadless, of course) if it gets printed (slim chance because I just don't get printed).

An important thing to consider in design is the social and cultural meanings behind the symbols you use. Taken innocently it is very clever witty and cool.

However...

I wouldn't buy it because of the implications it might have within the gay community. I could be wrong, and I'm sure there will be lots of people who disagree with me, even members of the gay community, but the first thing I though of when I saw it was gaybashing.

Sorry if I popped a bubble there. Its unfortunate that we live in a world where people actually kill other people because of their sexuality, and would see a shirt like that and appreciate it as an anti gay message, but its reality.



If it is any consolation, once I realized what it really was I did like it, and it is VERY well designed.

I agree with bgonzalez, it looks homophobic, unfortunately.

Ugh, i didn't take it AT ALL like bgonzalez did, although i can certainly see his point. I love the highlights on all your characters and the idea of killing off shiny happy fantasy crap is great....if it was a unicorn it would be fine apparently, but Dick Firestorm/Olie's tee "THE LAST FUCKIN' UNICORN!" already did that. I'm still 4$'ing it, i love the idea behind it and will plead ignorance on the homophobic issue if anyone would stop me and think about it that way.

This made me laugh, and I didn't think of homophobia at all. Good luck!

gays don't own cartoon rainbows. i don't see how you can make that connection at all without forcing one. what's that storm cloud then? black people? society in general? it doesn't make any sense.

if it was a person attacking a rainbow i'd maybe understand the connections more but to me, a cloud throwing lightening at a rainbow is pretty innocent no matter how you slice it.

I happen to be gay, to throw that out there. So of course, I didn't see the connection while making it. But I guess I can see what you're saying.

This is amazing, and I love the details on everything especially the cloud's gold lining and mouth. I wish i didn't have to say this but I wouldn't wear this with the fear that someone would call me anti homosexual. I will still give it a five though because it is a sweet shirt

This is a great idea and it would have taken me 984 years to see anything remotely homophobic in it!!
