i present you my latest drawing of bathrobe aficionado Brian Wilson!  This is inspired by his extra fat and beardy years, his love of robes, and his affinity for surfing!  And by that skit with Belushi and Aykroid where Brian tries to surf.  This is his succeeding at his surfing attempt!!



What do you guys think?  Is the likeness ok?  It's it fun and not offensive?  Also availalbe as t-shirts in various colors...

If you guys like it I can put it on other products as well.... and I might still be tweaking it, so if anyone REALLY likes it and wants to buy a shirt or something, maybe hold off a couple days, I may end up perfecting it! 

(and I take criticism as well, so let it fly!)

I think you did a good job.
having said that, I don't think it's an image that Brian would particularly want people to associate with him, no matter he was definitely "there", so I wouldn't use it.

This is great! You're talented! I agree with the statements made above, although it's overall a super cute drawing, with the robe and cartoon style and all. What program did you use to draw it?
I also dig the original blue design.

Nice, but we should stick in the here&now. Let's twist this idea with an old Brian. He would be dressed in Hawaii shirt & shorts. The wave doing letter "B", not "C". 1st circle has Brian's face, 2nd - the rest of bod. Colored drawing. Whaddya think?

Thanks ya'll! 

Undercover-m, the program I used for this, and all the other BB drawings I've made, is Adobe Illustrator.  The best darn program to draw stuff, says I.  (not to be confused with Adobe Photoshop, the best darn program to push pixels around)

As for how appropriate or inappropriate this kind of design is... I thought of all these points you guys raised, is this a time that Brian would rather forget, etc... but I had to settle on-- hey, Brian is a guy who never runs from his past, in fact, tends to be brutally honest about every single thing you ask him, no matter how personal.  And also, since a big bearded 70s Brian made a cartoon cameo on the On The Island video, it means he's probably ok with his 70s self still being referred to this day!   Afro

Oookay, I've used illustrator via free trial for one drawing. It was an amazing experience Tongue. A very intuitive and fun program! And apparently, results in great BB designs.
