A Clockwork Red
I am forever inspired by the visual beauty of Kubrick films. This is a graphic take on the brilliant ‘future-shock vision’ film A Clockwork Orange, in which the protagonist Alex is given shock therapy to prevent him from enjoying the crimes he commits. After the treatment is complete, whenever Alex has evil or malicious thoughts, he feels like throwing up.
Perhaps this is how we should treat the purveyors of contemporary evils?

Yes, a lovely interpretation.
I think you need the fray the edges of the vomit so that you aren’t as clearly up against the edges of the template. It does mean less vomit though.
Frank Stillitano replied
Thanks for the feedback sjem.
I have reduced the size of the artwork so the edges do not crop it at all. Do you think this resolves the problem? Or should I further distort/ fray the edges to emphasize ‘degradation’ of society?

Ahhh … that’s it. Fantastic.

Nice one Frank.
I like the colours too.
Frank Stillitano replied
Thanks. The green represents humanity and the environment, it is also the colour cartoon characters’ faces turn when they need to throw up! The red is obviously about blood and internal bleeding.
Lucan Industri...
Yes. This works.
Frank Stillitano replied
Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to have a crack at revisiting the type by hand, I think it might make the vomit flow a bit better.

Thank you kindly!

Yes, I am a big fan of hand drawn type. You should enter it into Natalie Tyler’s typography group challenge then.
Frank Stillitano replied
I am going to do just that! Thanks

Strong work Frank, I like this a lot. This looks to me like somebody ranting with rage rather than vomiting – either way works really well though.
Frank Stillitano replied
Thanks for the constructive feedback. I am hoping to hand draw the text and make it look more like vomit…see how we go!
Frank Stillitano replied
I have also added shoulders to the figure, do you think this makes it more like a vomit now? Be honest!

sweet design
Frank Stillitano replied
Glad you like it! Dunno if I’s use the term ‘sweet’ to describe vomit, but you never know, it might have a lot of carrot in it!!

Another brilliant piece! Thanks!
Frank Stillitano replied
Thanks Steph and you are very welcome!

Nice Frank the shoulders do it for me. Obviously the angle of the head says more about vomiting than shouting too. I like the concept, hand drawn text adds another dimension.
Frank Stillitano replied
Great, thanks for your wonderful input.

this shirt reminds me of zeitgeist.
now i gotta get one of your shirts.
there is a socially conscious shirt (or series of the aforementioned) designed by bono, the proceeds of which go to african farmers and i think the wildlife conservation society.
i dunno why i said that.
thought you might like to know.
thanks for the thought provoking graphics.
Frank Stillitano replied
Hey thanks for all your comments. I will have to look up Bono’s work, can;t say I’ve seen it yet!
Tom Douce
