Oh.
This is something close to Betelnut’s heart
What an amazing protest shirt
nofrillsart

Thanks Danny.

Very Important cause needing MORE attention. very colorful and important T-shirt -message. Simple minds can engineer how to blow each other up; but how do we make the realization it hurts all of us eventually?
nofrillsart
Very true Dave. Thats why raising awareness seems like a very logical thing, i guess i could have gone for facts and figures on the tee (Thats where printing on the back would be cool…hint hint RB!), but i thought strong visual appeal…more along the lines of advertising would get the message out better. And the t-shirt is a perfect carrier for this message! Thanks for the comment.
H M Bascom
A most powerful design and message. I hate landmines. Great work.
nofrillsart
Thanks Helen…me too.
animo
brilliant! love the tee. hate landmines!
(in a fair world the people/countries responsible for putting the landmines out there would be trying to clean up the mess they’ve created!!)
nofrillsart
Thanks Animo…yes they should, unfortunately they do not as they are still being used. And yes i second the i hate landmines statement totally.
betelnut
This is a great piece and even greater purpose NFA. Tidy, tidy work.
PS I think the design might look stronger if the twister was a square, or not, :-)
nofrillsart
Yeah…Wasnt sure about that or not Betelnut. I had thought about it, but havent tried it yet…I did also like the idea that it flowed out and that the tee was the mat…but i will drop in a square and see how it looks. Cheers!
HaRaKiRi

Great tee no-frills. Just got back from Cambodia, and saw SO many damaged folk in villages everywhere. Land mines suck. Time to give the knobs who build ‘em a big SMACK!
