Against The Wave Tee
Springleap‘s latest winner is Cmatos – a talented girl from Brazil. She’s taken her influence for her design Against The Wave from the classic 1832 painting The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai. This iconic image has had a few appearances in the t-shirt world. Even I’ve had a stab at it myself in the past, but let’s start of with Against The Wave and take it from there!

Beautifully illustrated, this adaptation of Kanagawa’s painting is one of the best t-shirt transitions I’ve come across so far. The detailing is excellent and it’s sure to sell well. You can get it yourself today for R183/$19/‚Ǩ15/£12 in 5 colours and s/m/l for women and s to xxl for men. Cmatos’ interpretation reads as follows “Man against the power of nature. The power of nature within the man. When next I have seen the sea will the sea have seen me, he pondered.”
Here’s a close-up:-

Take a look at the original to see just how well she’s reinterpreted this:-

As promised here’s a few other interpretations of The Great Wave – including my own entitled Crowdsurfer which features ‘waves of people’ rather than the sea.

If I’ve forgotten any do let me know and I’ll post them up ;) Anyway most of these aren’t available any more, so if you have a hankering for a tsunami themed tee you’d better hurry!
