I drew this and cleaned it up on Illy. It is my first time drawing an idea and tracing it on the computer. It was a good learning process. :)
It would be a 3 color screen print on a heather gray tee.
<i>I would really appreciate any comments for the design.</i> I was hopping to submit it to Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) for a tee design. He wasn’t asking, but I think it would be a sweet shirt. Is that lame to submit a tee design when they aren’t asking for one?
<b><span class="caps">EDIT</span>:</b> I sent the design to his label and to his myspace. We will see how it goes!

I don’t think pitching a design to someone not expecting it is lame at all. You just have to find the right person to talk to. I was actually thinking of working something up and pitching it as well.

Yeah man, do it. You could cut it down to a 2 color if you do halftone black ink for the dark gray. money saver and it still looks good.
just a thought.

<blockquote><cite>gausman said:</cite> cool idea. i actually like the way it looks and the string flows over the cans in your picture than on the mock-up. it could even benefit from some more cans and pictures. maybe a few can lids still laying around… </blockquote>
Awesome idea. I will play around with it!

Nice. When I contacted them, I felt more like a fanboy than an artist with a proposition. How do you be professional in this field of work? I have never really worked for clients outside of friends.

i think this is a cool idea and looks great so far. i think you need to keep in mind that your text is a string when you get into making your turns and angles. right now they come to a point when naturally they would be more rounded and loose. lose the ‘i’ dots too. i dont know if you want to go that literal, but it could make the illo look a lot better.

Hope this gets printed! I hate you for making me say “That is legit” in real life.

I will try some new lettering with a more literal string feeling. Thanks for the tip.
