i miss you. T-Shirt

vandal

i miss you.

this is a refresh of something i drew when i was 16… and my girlfriend lived 3000 miles away…

thankfully, 8 years later… this is not the case.

(same girlfriend! same house! no longer 16!)

//

...and best wishes to all of you who know that sense of longing.

    Thank you blomst! A lot of hopeless romantics around here, eh? :) Though, I guess I should omit the hopeless. So negative. Anything you put your heart into is possible.

  • Tridib Ghosh

    Tridib Ghosh

    Vandal… Awesome art mate… So many really good, appreciating comments… now the main question… how much % of the great remarks actually materialized as sales? I am new to redbubble… need to understand the conversion rate before actually putting up my stuffs.

  • vandal replied

    Three sales in 8 or 9 days. I’ve only been a member of this site a few weeks… So I’m not necessarily the best measuring stick. :) As far as community goes… this site is fantastic… a lot of love around here. Thank you for the kindness and I hope you’ll stick around!

  • vandal replied

    ...and magically, I sold three more TODAY. Unpredictable!

    Great design. This is exactly how I feel right now :( My boyfriend is in Costa Rica and when he returns we’ll be in different states… Not 3500 miles, but it still sucks!

    I love it! Great job.

  • vandal replied

    no matter the measure, the distance still feels the same.

    hang in there! it’s hard, but if you can brave through the struggle… you really have something worth the heartache!!

    WHERE CAN I GET THIS SHIRT?!?

  • vandal replied

    just click the buy/preview button on the right! you can select size/type from there.

  • hararayne

    I think I’m going to buy this for my boyfriend the next paycheck I get. I asked him what he pictured in his mind when he thought about a couple. He said “Two people sitting on a couch, watching tv.” And that picture is exactly how we sit. Even down to him always being on the right side…
    Thanks for this, totally adorable!

  • vandal replied

    sounds like your boyfriend and i have a bit in common! haha. although, in our case… we are typically watching a movie. :)

    thank you for the story, it made me smile! i’m glad you enjoy the artwork! :)

    yeah… it would be surreal – this t really deserved it! it’s just one of those really unique ideas that take off! congrats on all your sales (you must be on about 100 sales by now lol) and popularity on this shirt!
    douce

  • vandal replied

    haha thanks, tom! you’re quite an asset to the community around here, everywhere i look i seem to find you praising someone. thank you for the congratulations, too! i’ve actually sold somewhere around 50… pretty staggering by itself… if you’re estimating by the most popular page…it’s actually rated by sales AND favorites… and i have quite a few favorites that have propelled me through the ranks… :)

    I’ve personally bought this shirt and am very satisfied with both the quality and the size. I’m a petite size and when I got the small, it fit me perfectly, unlike some sites that send a “small” and it fits more like a large! The quality is great, it feels and washes like you would expect something you’d spend this much for in the retail world to, and so it’s definitely worth the amount listed. I wish success to vandal and this design is inspiring to me and I hope everyone likes it as much as I do!
