The bravery of being out of range.

The bravery of being out of range…....

Well it’s one of those amazing statements that conjures up a similar image for everyone…WAR

For me it was the pilots who were instructed to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

But then I continued the train of thought…...... and as the song suggests, and Danny elaborated, we can all be accused of ‘The bravery of being out of range’. It applies to so much of our everyday life.

If I had Scott’s talent I would have illustrated a woman giving birth whilst her partner looks on, a teacher in a classroom, or me! attempting to penitrate the bonds of the merry men (how do you illustrate that?).

But I don’t have the talent, so what I have created comes back to my original thought….WAR.

Sjem quoted “War is old men talking and young men dying” Odysseus, Troy (the movie). I love this statement but does it continue on from there?
Do we perpetuate the story by glorifying its devastation?

poets are inspired to write poetry about it
historians are inspired to write documentries about it
film makers are inspired to make movies about it
artists are inspired to create art about it
musicians are inspired to play music about it
designers are inspired to design t-shirts about it (myself included)

Maybe, in the end, we all encourage war one way or another – as artists, we speculate on an experience we haven’t had, and therefore are perhaps the truest version of the brave who are out of range.

Oh.. Thirdly, You put the issue right back on us. Which is great. Very clever approach, that alone makes it extremely good.
Lucan Industri..., 10 months ago

Can you just take what all the merry men said above, rearrange the words, keep the sentiment, correct the grammar and make it wittier and consider that my comment?

Because it’s so good I can’t stop looking at it long enough to write anything coherent underneath.

11 out of 10.

I am also very much enjoying the positioning on this top. Oh how I pray to the stars they’d let us use a bigger canvas.

Actually I don’t, which is probably why they haven’t. Nonetheless it would be nice.
bails, 10 months ago

Great work! I’ve been following this line to tee’s submitted byt everyone and I’d have to say this is my fav! of course no offence intended to Lucan and sjem both great work however this message is so strong and i couldn’t agree with your sentiments more if I tried, and beleive me I have. I just wish I were a good enough artist to portray all the things that go through my head when I read those lyrics, maybe I’ll try all though i’m not I’m far enough out of range to be brave enough to try and compete with this! excellent work!

Oh, this is genius. You made me cry. I’ve been trying to say the same thing in a T-shirt. I feel a need as an American to take a stand. You did it so much better. I admire you!

The best thing about this t-shirt is it’s ability to rise above other t-shirts in the rankings.
