For those that have never read 1984:

The line "under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me" is the song played in the Chestnut Tree bar before political enemies are vaporised. It reminds them of how they betrayed one another and how Big Brother beat them.



Nice choice. I like it. Wish it was smaller though.

i didn't recognize him and thougt DR Well and also sean pean and was thoroughly confused as to what either of them had to do w/ japan. not that it is a bad design, but i try to take into consideration what a person is going to think when they see my shirt.

I love Orwell, I hate this. Sorry. Please don't sell classic authors out like they did Che Guvara (spelling's crap).

I'm not sure that I hate the idea of an orwell shirt (and I LOVE the text--not the font really, but what it says). I think I'd love it if the illusration was of that song, not of orwell himself. I bet he would too. :)

I didn't see an "O" when I first read it. I had to see the title before I realized that wasn't a "D"

While I agree that I don't necesarily want to associate Orwell with Chariman Mao, I do like your execution and colors quite a bit! Does the R have to be backward? I think people would get it faster if your "O" and "R" were more conventional. Would you do one for Flannery O'Connor?

I think the text would be better if it said "WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.", but that's just me..



(It's from 1984, only Orwell's most known work.)

Also - and Hunter S. Thompson shirt could have potential - something like "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" or "For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled" just my 2cents

Perfect pick for a quote-- I'm not terribly fond of the sunrays behind his head, but I love this so much I still want to wear it!

Not bad. The pink starburt behind hi shead could be a different hue; and his himage could be cleaned up a little. But it's OK. I like the concept more than the art.

I think the idea is that the pic is a bit abstract. I dig it! Great colours too.

I like the text suggested by AndrewDBarker in addition to the shirt's present text. Perhaps a smaller graphic and a style that doesn't present Orwell as a communist organizer.

1984 was a fantastic read, and the text along with the image fits perfectly...not too sure about the giant 'orwell' though.
