Awesome print. The details kill me. If I had to draw rope like that I'd probably draw it around my own neck. Fine, fine work here!

This shirt is pretty cool, but I have to say that I was trying to defend you Tee Fury, over your price hike, and you are not helping... I think the shirts need to be a bit more stupendous. IMHO and all that.

I love the artwork! But I don't like to wear anything that looks like I'm advertising someone's product for free.... whether it's a real product or not. I'm gonna have to think long and hard about it.

Beautiful design! I love the parody on the original, cartoony fail whale. Just bought a teefury shirt only a little while ago so I'll have to sleep on it.

Fail Whale Pale Ale

About the artist

Ian Leino

Art curated by

Hey Teefurians, Ian here. In the interviews for my previous designs, you've found out a lot about me, so this time I wanted to shed a bit of light on some of you! For the interview, I've turned things around and asked questions on my Facebook page, then selected a few of my favorite answers for each question. I also thought it would be fun to spotlight a few of the awesome people who have purchased some of my shirts. If you have a better answer to one of the questions or a photo of yourself in one of my shirts, be sure to post it over on my Facebook page.

And now, the questions:

If you could live the rest of your life as any famous fictional character, who would it be, and why? (The big winner here was Dr. Who or a Dr. Who companion - between them they got 20% of the comments! Here are some of my other favorites.)

Ron Weasley. I'd get to tag along for most of the action while not being a direct target. And (spoiler alert) I'd get the girl. :D (Mike Czarnopys)

Lone Star, flying around in my space Winnebago with my Maug and a Drewish princess. (Miles Wortham)

Rincewind the Wizard from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. He speaks fluent orangutan, is always involved in some adventure and has outrun and cheated Death so many times, they're on a first name basis. (Ziggy Nixon)

Valerie, the wife of Miracle Max in The Princess Bride. Think of all the fun I'd have: plotting against Humperdinck, covering magic pills with yummy dark chocolate, reviving the mostly dead and storming the castle. What a life! (Tia Rayl)

Lobo. Because Lobo spends his life being awesome. Pounding brews, riding his space motorcycle, bounty hunting, and being unkillable. (Zach Perkins)

You have a time machine that only has enough power for one trip (and no return). Would you use it, and if so, when would you travel to? Also, no cheating by saying you would travel to when time machines were made so you could get a new one. (It looks like I also should have stipulated 'no lottery numbers/stock tips' as that seemed to be preeminent on lots of peoples' minds.)

I'd go back to yesterday and warn myself not to eat that Big Mac. Big mistake. (Naheed Saeed-Snyder)

I don't think I'd use it. There isn't any time in the past that I think I could adjust to. The future is too uncertain. (Zach Perkins)

Ancient Egypt to whip the locals into building me my own great pyramid so i could be world famous for millennia. (Chris Zinsli)

I'd travel to the Roanoke colony. I wanna know what happened. (Michael Grasso)

Yes, I'd definitely use it. I'd go back to about age 5 and never take crap from anyone or care what anyone thought of me. That's a lesson I didn't learn this time until my thirties. (Misty McDaniel)

I'd use it to go back a few minutes and change my answer to the question. (Miles Wortham)

You are a superhero and can have any one superpower. But I don't care which one - instead, tell me about your mild-mannered alter-ego.

She works at an auto shop and gives angry looks to the cranky old men who tell her she can't possibly know anything about cars, because she has a uterus. (Alyssa Vaughan)

Well, she teaches art to elementary children and also enjoys riding her bike around town when the weather is nice. (Toni Nicosia)

Marvin - I sell pies at the local diner. I tell stories that don't really make sense and don't ever go anywhere, but I have a nice smile. (Michael Jacobi)

He draws awesome comics. Skinny, pale and apparently addicted to coffee, during the day he hunches over a drafting table churning out saga after saga. If only everyone knew they were simply 'journals' of his alternate life! (Ziggy Nixon)

Thanks to everyone who participated! I enjoyed learning more about some of my fans, and am excited to feature a few of them here on TeeFury!
