|
 |
hehehe, I think some people might take it the wrong way, but the longer I look at this, the funnier I find it... Manet must have had some interesting picnics... nice twist ^^
|
 |
for some reason i really like the cow
|
|
I don't know. I like it, but I feel that by replacing all the women in the painting with cows makes a slightly controversial statement.
|

|
 |
hahaha! great
|
 |
Ha! Thanks, guys. This is unfinished, actually. Blasted deadline! The hamburgers, the trash in the foreground and the guy in the background need about another hour's work. I'd also like to see a cow pat among the napkins. But enough excuses, here's a link to the painting that I didn't have time to dig up when I subbed. It can be read as being about power, respect and the balance thereof... and one unsettling gaze.

I feel that by replacing all the women in the painting with cows makes a slightly controversial statement. Heh, yep. That was pretty deliberate. ;)

LOL! Oh, sometimes being an art kid has it's advantages. This is one of them. But how many people will get it?
|
 |
Quite a few should, and if not, it's just another opportunity for more to know :)

mezo on Dec 19 '06 You're smart, pretty, AND you can illustrate? Looks like I have some competition.
|
|
I can't even begin to describe how fantastic I think this design is.
|
 |
Fantastic! great concept and really well done.
|
 |
I like it!
|

Cleverish. not enough people would see Manet though. Cool design, uncool t-shirt.
|
 |
this is really nice! :]
|
 |
I would buy 7 of these shirts and wear one under my regular clothes every day of the week.
|
 |
Mooooo!
deliberate eh? what is your statement? Women taste good with cheesy potatos? Women should be fed grain? Women's hides should upolster many car seats? Women graze? ??????? |
|
No, I'm saying that women have seven stomachs. Little known fact. :P Mezo, you needn't worry, I look like a troll. Thanks for the comments everybody!!
|
|
AND women's hooves should be well maintained.
|
 |
this is very clever! good art history knowledge!
|
 |
lol @ mezo.
Hey this design is wonderful. Good luck! |
 |
Hah!
So good. I remember studying this painting in art school, and how the gaze is not unlike that in contemporary porn. You've taken the exploitative nature of this to a new level. Or maybe a new planet. Keep making shirt designs or I'll stop being your friend. - j. |
 |
It makes me chuckle. 5 dollars.
|
 |
This is awesomeeeee.
|
 |
Yaay ! More submissions from maija ! Wonderful twist on The Luncheon on the Grass . The white cow looks perfect. I would like to see this on a green shirt to see if I like it better than the red shirt.
|
 |
5. i'll add a $ if there is a possibility of a different shirt color. :)
|
|
Thank you for the compliments! I am not married to the red! It was a knee-jerk fast food thing done in a hurry, to be honest. I originally started designing it on khaki/olive/sagestone because it's a green setting in the painting and green is my favourite colour, but because I do so much work in green, I thought I'd try red for a change, and hey, the fast food thing. I didn't have time to put any other colour options in the presentation, and I don't really have time now either (I have a work deadline tomorrow) but I'll try to do something tomorrow night. It works on a pile of colours because it's mostly neutral.
|
|
Oh heck, sleep, schmeep, here are a bunch of colour options.
|
|
the cow's face is the best part
|
 |
