I see this as being that no matter how lavish a lifestyle or vastniss of wealth, Daisy will always be out of Gatsby's reach.
(P.S. The moon should be glowing a faint green to represent the light on the dock.)

That's a great parallel, I never would have thought of that (assuming you're referencing the African tale about the queen who reaches for the moon).

It's an amazing story. And Daisy on the moon reminds me of Pierrot.

This is really stunning. I love the idea, and this creation puts across the idea perfectly.

Oh my god, the symbolism in this one just stroke me. The inability to reach Daisy with all of these houses, and money, and shirts, and what not, yet he can't reach her still. This illustration is amazing. Daisy might as well would of been on the moon, because only Tom can reach her, because he's a giant...well you know.

God this book was sad... I'm listening to the new movie's soundtrack and being like "BE FRIDAY!"

Woah, this is really cool. I like the way it reflects his inability to get daisy (but in color!)

Is there anyway I can get this put on a t-shirt and if not can I have permission to make my own shirt? I just love this image you've made and I love the book as well!

Gosh, this is so simple - and yet so profoundly and deeply accurate.
This more than deserved the Daily Deviation. Faved.
