Bubblegum Dream Factory
Call it a retro phantasia, a grown up's longing for childhood, the juxtaposition of the hard machine with the soft bubbles. 

Re: Bubblegum Dream Factory
Really nice design.
Just some criticism, on a canvas I would position the drawing so the face is more central--which would mean more white space on the left and bottom. I would do this as I think the face could be easily missed if it's not raised to a more focused area. I'm not sure if you can place the graphic anywhere on the shirt, but if you can I would have the pattern over the left (the wearer's left) shoulder, again so the face is more central and attention grabbing.

Re: Bubblegum Dream Factory
I can indeed place the image anywhere. I will try some different placements as you suggest, and thanks. If I read you correctly, placing the "pattern" over the wearer's left shoulder would mean a 90 degree rotation? Or just moved up?
Re: Bubblegum Dream Factory
Nah, I would just move it up and to the right. It only a suggestion though--it may or may not look any good.

Nice improvements. I think it's a really eye-catching design.

Threadless didn't, but that isn't unusual. Gotta keep plugging away...

Re: Bubblegum Dream Factory
That's a really cool image! I have only been using inkscape for about a week, but I really like it. I know that creating tutorials is time consuming, but I hope more talented artists/imagists can post some how to tips about creating things like the face in the OP. I still have quite a hard time breaking down images like the face into the smaller components that composed them, though I am getting the hang of understand shading. Geometric shapes aren't so tough.
Any, great image, thanks for sharing!!
