This is my entry for the "Geeks" competition currently running at Threadless.
To me, being a geek isnt about horn-rimmed glasses and pocket protectors, its about creativity, vision, and being willing to immerse yourself in complex studies like mathematics and engineering to achieve your innovative concepts. Going out with friends, playing video games, and sports are great pastimes, but they dont get rockets built.
My own personal geek-dom showed itself during the course of this design in a number of ways, including the fact that the open book is Newtons "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in the original Latin (a book that helped spark the scientific revolution), and the film reel is based on the actual reel from the moon landing.
This design is a sequel to my first ever Threadless print "A Voyage of Discovery" and would be printed in six colors on a navy shirt.

I loved it but the shadows on the clouds are going the wrong way.

Those arent meant to be shadows, but the cutouts of the clouds in the underlying page. Thanks though!
