I'm madly in love

Feeldude is an online t-shirt store. It periodically organizes thematic graphic contests, called "game", to select the best designs and print them on t-shirts.

The game number 88 proposed the theme of love to design a t-shirt that could represent a particular aspect of the feeling "love".

We wanted to represent the crazy part of love by designing a funny character wearing a straitjacket.

The chains of love bind him and isolate him like a fool in an asylum. His love is so crazy that nobody else can understand it.

The character is symbolically bound to a heart drawn in the background. It represents the mood of the character in relation with his physical constraint.
His love is so irrepressible that only a straitjacket can barely control it.

Furthermore this feeling seems to be on the point of exploding: the face of the character is red and the lines that firmly bind his heart create the illusion of an explosion.
