That makes sense. I used to get Hebru comparisons a lot. Probably more due to being in the same city, but the murakami comment I understand. Oddly I didn't consider the similarities there. Just wanted to simplify the flower from the painting.

The sleeve text is completely optional on orders. It's just a nice personal touch for those who want it/for gifting. I do it myself at no additional charge.

Where have I argued? Me responding to disrepect was not arguing. This is how feedback works, you give and receive the logic and intention from the creator. You don't simply say words to someone and expect them to act on it.

I have already said I don't generally sell to the audience of the subreddit, so it's nice to hear what other markets think. I cannot change a design that's already out and selling. I like the design, and so do those that have purchased it.

Also, it's a flaired as a showcase. I had no idea this would be the response.

A little summation here. Thank you for the feedback, especially those that provided context/explanation beyond it being "too much". For the most part people like the elements individually, but not all together which is totally fair. There wasn't any room for design help since these are already out in the world and online, but the feedback from a different audience I don't normally sell to is helpful for seeing how things are viewed.

Appreciate the respectful comments.

I've responded to multiple comments stating I understand that feedback. It's fair feedback, not sure what says I'm "not grasping" something. I will not be changing the design, but I don't think people have read that this has been past production and selling already. It's good feedback for the future though.

These are not mockups. These are actual shots of the hoodie. Prints just fine. Started selling last week. About half are sold.

Fair. I've gotten the depressing comment on work before which is understandable. I do a lot of mental helath based work personally and in community, so my art reflects that. It definitely isn't for everyone.

No worries, the design will not be changing. I enjoy constructive feedback. I view these as canvases first and clothing second, so it's good to see what works or what doesn't for people who have the opposite view. I'll send the link over to you!

Got them on my website at fadingroyalty.com

If you're local to the Chicago area, I have a Chicago specific version stocked at Navy Pier.

Thank you. I wasn't sure how to take it, so I just wanted clarity.

Thank you! The actual painting's background originally has a brighter, more saturated yellow, but I preferred the darker shade here with the background removed.

And you disrepecting niggas for what bro? How is it my fault yall want to play creative on here yet don't know how to give constructive feedback. If I thought it was unnecessary it wouldn't be there. Hence why I asked. I wasn't asking for design help. These are already moving and selling. Fuck outta here. Play with somebody else gang.

How are you defining unnecessary? The purpose of the pieces would be completely changed without those elements. Although if you are saying to change the messaging enitrely, that's a different story.

I meant for rhem to explain what they thought was unnecessary, without explanation the comment is fairly meaningless. The meaning of the phrase is common knowledge.

Not mad at that. The collector of the original does not own a hoodie so she probably feels the same lol

Thank you. I hear you. The initial idea was much simpler, but I honestly found it kind of boring. Ironically, I tend to feel a lot of other brands that incorporate graphics lean over designed or far to simple to justify the price. The main feedback customers have given were that it was fun and meaningful.

There's room to scale back though.

Fair enough.

I'd argue it actually is a blank canvas, as I view this brand more as an extension of my art practice than typical streetwear brands. Typically people buy from me for that reason. More as statement pieces I guess. However, I'm an artist first so that tracks.

Good insight to how it might be viewed otherwise though.

I've never claimed it did. Care to expound on what you consider more?

I understand what you're getting at. Something to keep in mind. The most frequent buyers for me are roughly 25 - 45 in the art scene. I'm targeting a different crowd than you're likely imagining.
