This is a preliminary front design for the forthcoming MY WORK IS NOT YET DONE TeeLO Shirt. The text was set to the right of the image to maximize the printing area available on the shirt. This is preliminary, mind you, and the final version will have more clarity. Comments?

See attached image for a variant, which would likely feature a back design with a quotation, "WORK NOT DONE" text and possibly a TLO reference. I tend to like this one better, though the back printing becomes more of a necessity when not tagging the author name. I managed to match the font/style used on the actual book rather well, I believe.

Yes. The second version. Folks will be too freaked by the image to notice the name on the front. Beautiful!

Thanks! Yours is also my personal preference. Back printing on a black shirt will not be an option from the printer for a couple of months, but I could use the extra time to work in ample amounts of procrastination and indecision.
 
I like the second one, with bigger "My Work is not yet Done" letters (good work, Dr. Bantham - those T-shirts are getting better and better), but in fact I would like to see the name and surname of our cherished author included as well. It would be cool to hear everyone asking you "Wow, so who's this Thomas Ligotti?" 8)
 
I threw this together rather quickly, but I am quite pleased with the result. This would be the back printing to the second version shown above. I think I may have to credit Dr. Locrian and/or Aetherwing for the concept, as memory is haunting me as such.

I think I can reduce the vertical line spacing of the second image while still maintaining the larger font, thereby allowing the author name to be displayed on the front. I'll throw another mock-up together. At some point a poll may be appropriate.
 
I love it! The quote on the back of the second design does it for me. Now if we can get just the same quote engraved on a marble monument somewhere in our nation's capital, we could really start something. But the shirt will do the trick for now...
 
YES! That back design is awesome! And I'd totally go with the second front design (it looks less squished)
 
Ok, I am just a bit tipsy and I refrained from snapping to the grid with my push-abouts, but I am attaching a hasty mock-up of the large title scrunched to allow the author name footer. Is this more effective, or does it actually detract in that it becomes more like an advertisement or dust jacket cover?

Yes, there are currently five preliminary designs being planned.
  1. TLO Corporate
    A black shirt featuring the "green ghost" which has long been the trademark logo of TLO.
  2. The Horrific Consolations of Thomas Ligotti Online
    A white shirt emulating the cover of TAROVFAOGT by way of the woodcut and actual lettering rearranged to reference both TLO and "The Consolations of Horror".
  3. MY WORK IS NOT YET DONE
    As seen on TV.
  4. Crypt of Ligotti
    A light blue shirt featuring the cover art from CRYPT OF CTHULHU #68, being the special Ligotti issue. The magazine title will instead be replaced with "Crypt of Ligotti", being a reference to this site as a repository for all things Ligottian.
  5. The Lost Art of Twilight
    A white shirt featuring the original illustration for the story, which I now personally own. This may feature a quotation on the back.
THCOTLO and TLAOT may appear before the new year, as I may work on them during my time off from work. The others are dependent upon technical features which are being implemented by the chosen printer "in the first quarter" of next year. Each of these are presented as concept mock-ups and discussed in detail within this forum directory you are in (The Red Tower). There is also a section designated for related images within Rignolo's Studio. The Red Tower is the name chosen for what will become the TLO storefront. Who knows what sort of items might appear...
