Too much blue on this page...

   I just noticed that both shirts already reviewed on this page were blue. I know it matches the rest of the current site design, but it's a bit much, don't you think? Sure you do! Here's a brown shirt. From Goodjoe:



   "One Random Act" by TheSoufSide. A shirt I just bought last week, and for good reason. The image sends a message. This little girl trying to catch one of the bombing planes in her net. Trying to do her part to change the world.
   I love the use of negative space. Rather than fully depicting the girl, the designer chose to use only her shadow. I feel that makes the illustration stronger in the sense that the high contrast draws your eye to the big picture. I like that they chose to frame the image in foliage instead of boxing it in. The colours used were a good choice. There's also enough going on in the design that I found myself looking at it for much longer than one would expect to be looking at a T-Shirt graphic. The fantastical landscape, the faint explosion in the background, and the additional use of negative space with the plane by the sun. All these details seem subtle, yet really add to the design as a whole.
   I bought it quickly since supplies seem to be fairly limited. It prints very nicely, especially the grass at the bottom. The ink used is light and flexible, but still feels like it's built to last. $18 while it's still up.
