This design was inspired by a real sign that I saw while driving home one evening on a dusty country road. I thought that the movement created by the intertwining vine was really interesting and beautiful. I took ten or 15 photographs of it before the owner of the farm nearby got nervous and started giving me dirty looks. I think that he thought I worked for the state or something, because the next morning the sign was vineless.



The birds and the title were inspired by a Ryan Adams song.



Constructive criticism welcome!

Stunning. 5$ Has interesting potential on light blue. I think they all look like they could really work.

this is really interesting. the sign might be a little too dominant for my tastes, but a really solid 4.



i look forward to seeing more designs from you.

I love it but think it would be better a little smaller, and in the bottom right corner. If the placements changed I'd buy it in a second $5

holy crap, i love those birds! i wish that they weren't all in the same position or two. like, maybe, one could be just arriving with its wings out or about to leave. or maybe just more of the facing us, head turned variety.

also, where are the leaves coming from? are they a vine strong enough to support birds? even if they are a vine, they need to go down the signpost some. alternatively, they could be a tree off to the side but there need to be more leaves then in the bottom right.

Those are good points anaeromyxo! I tried to create the feeling of birds in all different positions using about 4 different bird drawings. Guess that might not be enough though. I didn't want any birds in the state of flight though. At a quick glimpse, I wanted the viewer to think it's just a sign with a vine on it and stars, no birds. Then on a closer look the birds would come more into focus. As if these particular birds are often ignored by the normal late-night driver speeding by. I guess that the vine is a little weak to support the weight of so many birds, I suppose I could add a thicker branch or two. thanks for the comments!

this is really unique - I gave 5$; good luck!



(on most of my favorite submissions I wish the print were a tad smaller, but i think in this case the size is probably ideal to get the detail of the eyes/stars. great work!)

thanks for all the comments. I'm glad you guys like it. Regarding all the comments about size/placement... When I first did this design my gut told me that it would look best smaller than it is now, and placed on the bottom right of the shirt. Seemed like it would work, but when I saw it I changed my mind. Just didn't feel right to me. In fact, most places I put it it didn't quite feel right. This was the only place I was really happy, though I may very well be wrong. thanks for the comments!

This design is gorgeous and I'd love it the way it is, though making it a teensy touch smaller or adding a bird in flight couldn't hurt either.
