We're just another Dinosaur T-Shirt

Cool stuff as always.

Maybe make the interlaced effect more obvious, because at the moment it just looks like a blurry lo-res image.

Oh yes. Lovely.

Hmmm
Love it
Your description, couldn’t agree more
Even though I’m a Big Cheese sort of guy.
I have no problem with evelution.
I work for an Environmental Company, have for years and don’t believe in Global warming, well not in the extreme sense that is being slammed down our throats.
They lost me when they started to refer to Jungles as Rain Forest and Global Warming to Climate Change.
It’s an excuse to make money for charlatans (I see proof often)
and guaranteed grants for struggling University departments.
I also enjoy staring blissfully up into the stars, I find it relaxing I can do this with the knowledge I don’t want to go there or if anybody is looking back at me thinking of invasion.
But most importantly I wonder what sjem is going to say when he realises you stole and stripped his favourite Bucks head.

That was to Chris No.1, and as for Chris No.2, as long as it prints, the original file is crisp.

Oh you all keep getting in the way.

sorry for the shitty spelling

Phew…...LI, the stories are more involved than the art.
Good visual art speaks alone on it’s own merits.
Good art needs no explanation.
If we don’t get the visual imagery wow factor straight up, attaching a novel to it won’t help.
Cheers

Danny - you’re an ignoramus - it was the greenhouse effect/global warming deniers who renamed it ‘cliimate change’ so that they could protest that it was part of the natural planetary cycle so we could go on consuming ourselves to ruin. And, I’m sorry - but ‘rain forest’ is far more precise than ‘jungle’ - ‘jungle’ is like ‘wilderness’ in that it broadly describes an environment in relation to human experience of it—‘rain forest’ describes a particular type of ecosystem.

Frankly the only ‘big cheese’ around here is that hunk inside your skull.

That, JJDegrade, is because I write and think and note more than I make stuff.

It’s a pretty picture to illustrate my thinking and writing. Not the other way around.

And this isn’t ‘art’ it’s a design, on a shirt.

And it’ll probably get worn because it looks like a skull.

And I have no faith in the audience, we’re on the web 2.0 community, it’s the last haven of the socially inept and the underwhelmingly untalented. Like myself.
If I thought this was art I’d put in somewhere else and treat it with respect.

And why did you write ‘cheers’ after telling me I’m wrong?
You’re either devout, or just got your work turned down again.
‘Cheers’

The effect you`ve achieved with the horizontal lines is disorientating, which I think perfectly suits the theme you`ve got here.

It`s almost like sitting to close to the television.

That was entirely the aim, I originally used static, but I use that a lot, so I went with this.
11 out of 10.

The preview of this shirt doesn’t do it justice.

Not overly worried about global warming myself. The Earth will carry along long after we have fucked ourselves. Look at conditions on the ground when some amphibious piece of goo decided “Fuck it is hot in this soup. I wonder what that hard stuff over there is like.”

A visit to Macchu Pichu, or Ankor Wat is most inspiring, with the jungle reclaiming the peaks of human civilisation with scant respect and in little time.

Maybe a lilttle fatalistic, but you have to smile when you think about the next lifeforms to dominate this planet digging up our bipedal, homonid skeletons and wondering if we were warm blooded, what colour our skin was and where we layed our eggs.

Absolutely, I wish I could be around to see it.
Love your buyers booth work by the way.

I’d like to see the ‘artists impressions’ of us that future lifeforms might come up with. Hmm..would make a great RB challenge?

Indeed it could.. I`m all for it.
We just need Sjem here to sugeest it.

suggest. damn it.

Yes where is the Bastard?
I shall go down to the cellar and see if he’s asleep in the wine vat again.

very clever and i love your reasoning behind it all… very true,...

man controls destiny.

I don’t think insulting your potential clientele is the way to sell shirts. You do want to sell shirts, right? If not just stick to the writing section.

Hi Lucan, love the ‘festiveness’ of this. I uploaded a shirt not long ago with similar ‘lines’ through the image and although they cannot be previewed, they printed beautifully.

Chris Wahl really doesn`t get you does he…

That’s the first sensible thing you’ve said in a while LB1, welcome back.
And you’re right. But it’s followed me my whole life.

No, but I’m sure he’ll educate me.

Don’t bet on it.

This reminded me of Rudolf the red nose reindeer – who along with santa also meet and unfortunate end. I have a suspicion that santas little helpers caused it all. Merry Christmas everyone! (too many friday beers for me?)

Clearly I missed all the fun today.

Danny – strangely I’m not too upset about the bucks head, it looks betterer dammit. Regardless of whether or not climate change is real I feel that our lives of mass consumption/destruction are not conducive to the survival of the species, which is ultimately what old L is on about here.

JJ – been to a real gallery lately ? Explanations are everywhere.
Besides this image could stand alone without the text and still be ‘good’, because that’s what it is good. Better than good actually. What Lucan is producing here is the inverse of your definition of good visual art. Ultimately it becomes an exercise in relativeness, this does not fit into your perspective of goodness, but as you can see it does fit into others.

Betelnut and Firedrake you are on to something. Definitely.

Real nice work – I love innovative use of skulls: even the greatest of sculptors can’t come up with anything so beautiful to look at, nor so well engineered.

Of course, I love my dinos too, so I love the reference and wholly sympathise with the feel of the piece. It is kinda heartwarming to think about dinos were around for 180 million years…and we haven’t even been here for one measly million.

And people have the nerve to say they all died out because they ‘couldn’t adapt’.

Will try to avoid going into boring personal tirade and just say “well done, matey-boy!” x

I’m seeing the world the same way.
i really hope we haven’t stuffed it up so bad that the next generation suffers/struggles.
Can I be T-Rex ? Brontosauruses are so web 1.0.

Two images on the Home page
Definetly wasn’t a wasted effort being prolific for a change.
Well deserved

love this lucan
& i tend to agree rhat the world will go on, no matter what we do to it
whether it would just be populated by carbon monoxide breathing bacteria remains to be seen, or perhaps they’re already here, going en masse by the monikor “JJ Degrade”...

I favorited this not because I like the art work, I do by the way it’s pleasing to the eye… I favorited this because I agree with what you wrote in the description. I find it easier to believe in a world that will eventually essentially heal itself … scares me to think there’s an all knowing bogeyman looming in the attic watching and judging my every move.

excellent work.. really good…

I agree with your bekiefs and looooove the design…
” Life finds a way.”

You are completely wrong about evolution.
We will not all die out, but will become mutants with superhuman powers.
I saw a documentary about it starring Hugh Jackman.

neat and nice details :D
