About this design
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Created by Alicia-B on Jun 10, 2011
"Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me."
To me, the scene that best represents the friendship between these furry characters would have to be Kermit singing ‘Rainbow Connection’ at the beginning of the first Muppet Movie, back in 1979.
I wanted to create a design that captured the essence of that time, something a bit retro, something a bit colourful, but most of all – something that showed the great range of Muppet characters!
For, as Kemit sings alone with his banjo, he has no idea of the huge group of crazy and lovable friends he is about to encounter on his journey.
I adore the Muppets and hope this design displays the fondness that I feel for them.

The sentiment and idea is really nice. The muted colors are refreshing, too, and work well with it.

I love this design so much, I'm willing to forgive the inclusion of that damned prawn ;)

KILLER representation of that song. Love the shiny faded lazy rainbow styling.

well it really isn't easy being green, but it helps if you can play a banjo

One of the best, if not The Best. You captured the spirit of the Muppets in the imagery and your stuck to the topic of friendship. The artistic execution is great as well - love the colours. Hope you get this printed.

This one is really nice. Wish I had gotten to the site earlier to vote!

This design is so beautiful. I haven't got into the atrium stuff, but saw the threadless staff blog entry, and after reading about the contest result drama, I come across this and am floored. Maybe it's just my mood but it's almost hauntingly sad. I'm actually tearing up. I hope to be able to buy this shirt.
bentrigg on July 28, 2011, 2:18 p.m.
Gorgeous design. I would have bought this one.
