Design By Humans T-shirts - So Let Them Eat Cake by bajidoo

 

So every now and then we have to employ a little shameless self promotion, why now?  Cause I am very proud of my design and my cause.  The image I created for this T-Shirt contest is one of my personal favorites.  I love animals, nature and wildlife, I used to focus all my artistic talents on the painting and drawing of animals. 

Before I ever drew a single human I drew this Baboon, he is one of my more detailed images.  Every hair was drawn with a bottle of India ink and a crow quill.  I wanted the contrasting cake to be dense and vivid color, over indulgent imagery - I was attempting to draw my version of the surreal state of things when the French Queen originally made the famous statement "So Let them eat cake," which was her supposed reply to being told her subjects were starving, they had no bread.

Please take a moment to have a look at my T-Shirt Design entry at "Design by Humans" and vote for my image if you agree that it make a great shirt! If I should be lucky enough to win the contest I am planning to donate a portion of the proceeds to local ASPCA of Central Florida.  You can help me reach that goal by voting for my design :)

Etsy, Michelle Spiziri, Artist

 

From Michelle's own Etsy profile she states that, Most of her  paintings and imagery comes directly from her imagination. "Never setting out to illustrate a specific theme or story, she creates each image as she goes, changing and shaping it along the way. "

Have a look at the "Day Dreamer"  - terrific use of color to capture the emotion of the moment and the character being portrayed, the description of the piece states that-

Her tee shirt reads” Do what you love, Love what you do”. She is reading a book on “how to win friends and influence people”
I say, follow your heart! - I think all those carefully crafted details are represented here.

 

 

 

 

 

And look at "LuLu",   what curly eyelashes she has wrapped around those baby blues!  A very approachable girl - but is also described by Michelle as, "a little shy and now lives with a family in Pennsylvania. She is the sensitive type and has a heart of gold. She also loves kittens."

And here we have two incredible horses of many colors!
