Hey just designed a couple of memorial shirts and looking for input

I like the 2nd design more than the first.  I had something different for the first one but completely redid it.

I plan on making a personal donation to http://www.shanemcconkey.org but I don't plan on selling this shirt just making a personal design so I can have my own custom Shane shirt.

I'm just looking for suggestions and shit to make this the most ballin' tribute shirt for the most ballin' skier

Thanks, I was debating whether or not to put the writing on the back or front but since i haven't designed the backs yet I put them on the front. 

Thanks for the input

I like the 1st design better. you have the 2nd one saying "rest in peace in peace". You should either have it just "R.I.P" or spelled out fully "Rest In Peace"

color scheme is whack!

go neon green shirt with a posterized version of saucer boy in the same postion, posterized in purple and yellow, maybe orange, neon of course, and then across the sleeves on on the mid upper back write, "RIP Shane, you inspired us all"

plan simple, for real, and all over cleaner, maybe put shane mcconkey on the front with the dates put it adjacent to the saucer boy picture, or put the portrait of him adjacent to saucer boy

imo

I think he means like Rip as in rip it up, not rest in peace.
So like Shred In Peace, only Rip.

on the second shirt, what's going on in that picture??? is he on snow shoes, is there someone on skis underneath him, it's really hard to tell and it looks a bit odd, is it two people or one?
peace

I say you make something simple... just a plain colored t-shirt with some simple message like:

Rest
In
Powder

then put Shane McConkey at the bottom corner of the shirt... on the back have a couple lines of his classic McConkey turns.. Its not really the look, but rather the message you're shooting for, ya dig?
