CardinalGoldstein Oct 23, 2008
Good job by dbh on this one. Not something I would wear, but it does look fun.
son_of_thunder Oct 23, 2008
Very creative. Cool design/idea. Reminds me of the Japanese Rising Sun..
bortwein Oct 23, 2008
Thanks it was inspired by the Japanese Rising Sun. I have always found it as a cool graphic and wanted to design something around the concept with a twist to it.
theBrigand Oct 23, 2008
This is FREAKING AWESOME!!! Well done – I love this – concept and implementations is fantastic!

GABREAL Oct 26, 2008
...Jus’ coped my print can’t wait till it getz from there 2 here…
GAB-yss
Bedplay Oct 26, 2008
Whereas the "uniqueness" suits others (like Crows attackin, and keffyiah) because it looks distressed, it doesnt suit the straight lines of this… So I won’t be buying. Bold and beatiful Tee though, I would buy if I wasn’t buying so many already. Very Wearable! On future purchase list!
mulligan2010 Oct 26, 2008
Front and back?
bortwein Oct 27, 2008
Just front.
atomichild Oct 27, 2008
congrats man
Mediclab Oct 27, 2008
That’s such an amazing design! Why did you have to go and screw it up on the neck and shoulders? I agree with DanielOliver. The print just looks messed up. Such a shame to ruin such a classy shirt, especially on such little details.
tjdillingham Oct 27, 2008
wow! this is mine. . could possibly a favorite! SOLD!!
bortwein Oct 28, 2008
Mediclab: The neck and shoulders are printed like that due to the style of printing that is used to accomplish such a large print over all those areas. It is a minor flaw in the process that causes it to not print 100% flat on those areas. Nothing in the art was altered to make that "effect" happen it just happens. Don’t let it deter you from buying the design if you really like it.
carstenschaltz Oct 28, 2008
I’m selling one of my tees to get this one, love it.
markwahlberg Oct 30, 2008
dont want
bortwein Oct 30, 2008

Viza Nov 01, 2008

Love the shirt design and the placement! Definitely going to buy this sometime! If you have time, I am new to DBH. I would love if you checked out my VZ contest submission. I would really like to hear your input. Thanks! Hope to see more of your work soon.
Damnathan Nov 17, 2008
Wearing it now. Very nice.
amberreto Nov 19, 2008
This shirt is the "pen"nacle of awesomeness!
nickaus Nov 19, 2008
damn i missed the boat on this shirt….i almost wish i could gain another 70 lbs just to fit in the XXL
_Create Nov 21, 2008
This shirt is amazing. If I would have had money when this came out, I would have bought it without a doubt. Considering medium, large, and extra large have sold out so quickly (in less than three weeks), I think a reprint would be great for DBH’s sales and for all of us who missed out.
=]
ThaMasta64 Nov 26, 2008
REPRINT!!! I agree with _Create. Lots of cash for DBH if this shirt is reprinted :)
bortwein Nov 26, 2008
Looks like the all of the Men’s Sizes have sold out.
_Create Nov 29, 2008
=[
mornish Dec 02, 2008
Men’s medium please!
