Teefury

:D

YES!

must buy

Sweet! A Star Wars shirt!

INSTA-BUY

This shirt is my new favorte thing in the world, and earlier today I got my mail away rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure.

Love it! Bought!

Just take my money!

Finally! At least for every 5 ....... shirts, we get a good SW one. Thank you!

I will most likely buy this after I brood about it over night! Great design!

Also - congrats on your first teefury print. I see they failed to put up your Seinfeld design that's on your facebook page. If it was on the sideart, I'd be all "that too, please!"

Very swanky design!

cool.... and another AFOL... star wars lego, you bet!

OMG!!! This will be mine!!! :D

Win! I'm torn, but I think I'll buy it.

I don't want to sound too feisty but I think it's weak... The Dali reference is mild at best... not a MashedPotato I would buy.

Beautiful.

I like the design a lot personally, but I think some people wouldn't understand that it's meant to be inspired by Dali. I can just imagine people walking up to me and asking why the Death Star is dripping or why the AT-AT has such long legs... Really, that's the only problem I see. Amazing artwork, and a huge congrats on your first print with teefury!

Awesome design

This is brilliant... I'm kinda floored by it.

My first TeeFury purchase. I would love to see more Dalí inspired shirts - great work here.

omg, star wars and dali?!?! :faint:

I'm getting this!

???? (so confused)

Beautiful!

Genious !! ...

For Who dont got it ..... Search for Dalinean Horse ....from Salvador Dali .......
After it ... turn off your computer, and go to study ...

I'm getting this one

awesome sauce!

ilovefood said: ???? (so confused)

Look up Salvador Dali. You'll get it. This design is fantastic!

Oh, I love it! It reminds me of the Striders from Dark Crystal.

Love Dali, and LOVE Star Wars. Nicely done!!!!

The only 'problem'????
Do you buy these to enjoy them, or to collect other people's compliment on someone elses art skills?

Pfffffff....

Very cool. Love Dali, and love Star Wars.

smurf yes

Very clever.

Great work! congrats! :D

NIce to see the old no text designs, and a great one at that.

how do so many people see "dali" and go ohhhhhhh! Seriously it must be an art only thing because I've never heard the reference before in my life

anyways nice art and good luck on the sales

ilovefood said: ???? (so confused)

Dali is an artist. He draws a lot of melting clocks and giraffes on fire. Cool design congrats on the print.

Actually, that's exactly why I'd want to buy it - the people who would get it are the kind of people I'd like to know better. This shirt is practically a litmus test for awesomeness.

Great design. However, the Star Wars connection with Dali isn't very apparent. I imagine I'll have to explain it to everyone who sees it.

You're kidding, right? Dali is as well known as Picasso or Rembrandt. His stuff is known to the general public. Your mom knows Dali...your neighbor knows Dali...your mailman knows Dali. If you don't know Dali, take this opportunity and educate yourself.

That death star is totally a atomic power robot from Earthbound...ftw my friend ftw

I totally and completely approve of this shirt!

The fact that there are people that either don't understand the Dali reference, or think it tenuous, really saddens me. Also: if the only Dali painting you know is The Persistence of Memory then you're doing something wrong.

I don't want to sound like a DonkeyKong, but really.

This is an extremely clever design, congratulations.

I'm going to have to join in with PureInvasion here. I mean, I've seen his melting clocks, but I had absolutely no idea what his name was... Nor was I familiar with the work this shirt was based on. It's not a household name in my household. :P
And for the record, I don't know about my mailman, but my mom does *not* know Dali. Apparently I come form a very uncultured family.

Regardless, the connection seems really random. I'm not sure I'm all over Star Wars + fine art.

Very tempted on this one. If I still love it in the morning, it's a buy. lol

Wow - great to see all the comments - thanks guys !

Here's an image of 'The Temptation of St Anthony' by Salvidor Dali, which is one of the key paintings that inspired this design. Hope it helps !



BIG thanks to everyone who buys this tee today too !!

and just like that, I now need to see a whole line of Dali-esque pop cult designs

exactly...I know the melting clocks but I never knew "dali" made it. Though I barely know any Picasso or Rembrandt pieces just by looking at them either.

awesome!!

That's the only reason I'm not going to buy it, I mean with some things like Doctor Who shirts, sure not everyone will get it but it's not hard to explain, but with this... hahahah not so easy xD

Even though I am not a Star Wars fan I still appreciate that your work was BRILLIANT yet creative......well done!

There is nothing wrong with not knowing who Dali is, but yes you are uncultured/uninformed if that is the case. I don't mean that in an insulting way, just a suggestion to those that don't know, that you've missed out on something really great that maybe you would love. Its the same thing I tell anyone that hasn't seen Star Wars, and yes I encounter those types of people too. Doesn't mean you'll love it, but IMO, its at least worth giving it a try.

And for the record, very awesome design! Combining two aspects of my life that I love! Thank you Mr GeekChic!

all i can say is... LOL!

Salvador Dali meets Star Wars, this is an art shirt, yes? Top work Sir, top work. Swoon, he mentioned my name - blush!

As a fan of Dali and star wars, I'm very disappointed in myself that I didn't think of this. Haha. Great design dude!

I don't think it really matters whether or not it is "Dali enough" to be recognized by everyone. Anyone who is a fan of both Dali and Star Wars can appreciate it. I think it's beautifully done.

Honestly, I know it's a match of two awesome creative forces... but I'm going to get nightmares from the uber long legs. ^_^ Great design either way though.

An instant buy.

The first time I saw that painting I thought of Star Wars

Outstanding - love it. And nice to hear 'Game of Kings' getting a shout. :)

Ah! It's almost Dark Crystal ish!

Reminds me more of the Dark Crystal...

That is so cool!

smuuuuuurf inspiring stuff. gonna hvae to think about that one very hard ... love it, not sure I can afford it tho

HELLZZ YEAH

I second that wholeheartedly ^ ^.

"R2D2 vs a Dalek now that would be battle !"
I guess he hasn't seen Jimiyo's shirt.... spoiler... it doesn't go well for R2.
Love the shirt. Lets stack some pancakes.

Dali + Star Wars = AWESOME!

I'm broke, and I shouldn't buy this, but I have to. I cannot pass on a Dalí-shirt. Yes, Star Wars is cool too, but Dalí is far superior.

Haha. Great design but i've got star wars tees coming out of my ears.

Smurfing BRILLIANT!!!

this is a joke, right??
how can one NOT know Dali's famous elephant paintings? it's as famous as the Mona Lisa or Star Wars itself ... no offence, but you'd have to live under a rock to not get that reference

so amazing. buy!

Clever design! I got the reference right away by just looking at it, but i also had a bit of education in the history of art.

I'm not a SW fan tho :p gogo hate me ^^ So i'm not going to buy it.

Great work! I have Dali's Les Elephants hanging on my wall, so I got the tie-in immediately.

Thanks also for the mention!

FnA YES!!!

PURE GENIUS

leafqueen said: I don't want to sound too feisty but I think it's weak... The Dali reference is mild at best... not a MashedPotato I would buy.

How do you figure? It's the "dream elephants" from some of Dali's most famed works.

But I guess I'm biased because I'm a huge Dali fanatic.

Congrats on your first Teefury print, Mr_GeekChic! I think you did a wonderful job delivering an art/pop culture shirt. A little something for everyone! I'm definitely in for one. :D

This is an awesome shirt, wish it was a week later!

Having problems ordering this shirt as well. Awesome design!!

Been done.

Not as a shirt as far as I can tell, but check the dates. I've seen this image popping up for a few years now.

try again, i got it to finally go thru yippee!

so cool really cool star wars and art
awesome

This is an awesome design, congrats on your first teefury print! Keep em' comin...

Oh hello new shirt, I hope you will find it comfortable in my closet.

i wouldn't have gotten the dali part without the title...

not bad for a star wars shirt

i don't get it i'm confussed

AWESOME, AWESOME shirt. Wonderful Dali reference, I wish there was more fine art mash-ups!

...and the people who don't get the Dali reference probably aren't familiar with art history. He did more than melting clocks!

who cares about star wars, but this design is good...

JASON_CRYER said: My first TeeFury purchase. I would love to see more Dalí inspired shirts - great work here.

I concur! I'm not a big fan of Star Wars myself, but I'm thrilled there's a Dali-inspired shirt. Fantastic

i believe this will be the first shirt that i really really really want that i actually caught. WINNING!!

I would've liked to see the legs a little skinnier/more ethereal; I think it would have made the connection to Dali's work a little more obvious for.. uh, let's think of a word to describe the general public's lack of intelligence that's not insulting..

Oh well. As it is, definitely considering a buy. The linear mountains/dunes in the back are a great touch.

My heart melted a little bit when I came to teefury today. This is such an amazing shirt! It'll be a good test to know who my real friends are ;) And keep your chin up, all this hatred just shows that they have not expanded their art history minds.

(PS. I don't blame you. My kids are not 'playing' with my Star Wars or Batman Legos either)

I'm actually having trouble ordering this too. Every time I got to making the final confirmation it goes to a messed up page and nothing happens. I'm going to be really disappointed if I can't get this shirt because of a bug.

Love Dali and SW. Kinda broke. Torn... will probably get though! Either way, awesome shirt!

Have you tried using a different web browser? Please let service@teefury.com know which browser/OS you are using when you experience this bug.

I don't get it.

No complaints here! This is wonderful. Bought instantly... by my girlfriend FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

Cool design, and a great idea, but I think the grey on grey is what mainly takes away from the Dali reference.
It's a totally cute shirt, and I think I'll buy one anyway, but when it comes to somewhat over used Star Wars references I think the extra mile is needed to make it a truly original effort.

Another starwars shirt....awesome...

I've seen both of the Dali paintings before, but without the title there's no way I would've made the connection. I still like the design, but am not sure about buying it. Also, Star Wars fans, I have "We Are Family" in Women's Medium up for trade/sale. I love the shirt, but got a duplicate in the grab bag. Email: aisha@gatech.edu

dammit. i'm a sucker for AT-AT shirts...

I thought they looked a little like a cross between SW and the Landstriders from the Dark Crystal :))

I plan to buy one of these for myself and one for my boyfriend! I love the concept and the design!

Kind of cool, but seems a little too plan.

Wow! This shirt is AWESOME! Wish I had $10 to order it today!

Coulda gone further with the concept and made it even more in Dali's style, but a nice, classic reference here as opposed to the usual Dr Who/Harry Potter gag shirts. Nice!

We do know that AT-ATs were modeled after elephants right? and that AT-ATs have longer legs than elephants? I think both of these things go together perfectly.

NEED!

Nice, classy, I would buy if I weren't broke

Love Dali...love Star Wars...really love this tee.

I can see how a few people might not understand this one right off, but somehow that makes it seem all that much cooler to me, turning the Death Star into a melting clock might have been more recognizable, but not nearly as cool.

INSTABUY

I agree about the Death Star.

As for not getting Dali... that does surprise me a bit. Dali (like Picasso for instance) is one of those few artists who IS pop-culture. I would have imagined that people know nothing about him personally, but would instantly recognise his work and his moustache.

My 1st purchase from here.

THIS!

Now that's witty! I like it.

i LOVE star wars. what the heck is Dali?

Pegaleiway said: i LOVE star wars. what the heck is Dali?

Dali was a surrealist painter. One of the most famous. You are probably more familiar with his dripping/melting clocks.

Totally diggin the art history meshed with movie history! Especially when they are visually hand in hand.
As a Studio Art student, this really plays well into the nature of the community at my university's art college.

nicely played good sir, nicely played.

I Had to buy it!

But I guess I'm biased because I'm a huge Dali fanatic.

I'm kinda worried and saddened by this...those who are familiar with A) art history B) Dali C) fine art, recognize this image straight off the bat...those who aren't familiar with A/B/C have no f-ing idea whats going on. It makes me want to take everybody to an art museum and give a free guided lecture tour.

I agree 100%

clever, not for me though

A shame that there are no kids sizes, as I know some kids that these would make great gifts for!

haha this is a brilliant shirt

Love it. Make it into a poster and I'll buy it!

am i the only one that sees star wars + halflife?

I can't find the reference to dali for the death star. Does it have anything to do with melting clock ?

Happy working shirts!

there is an art app for the iphone/ipod. Or go buy an art history book. If you can't recognize a Picasso or Rembrandt (even Dahli), lets throw in a Jackson Pollock, De Kooning, Warhol...these are all artist that have shaped what you enjoy visually every day. They have pushed the boundaries of art during their time. Whether or not, they are house-hold names in your home, they should be in your visual dictionary. At least you'll sound intelligent during the Thanksgiving dinner discussion.

YAY! Star Wars!!!

Two of my favorites, mashed together. Not enough Dali references in my life. Thank you.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

I literally dreamed this design last week. I loved the idea so much I wrote it down the moment I woke up. Guess there's no need to start sketching... :(

oh man, i love this design but i'm so broke!

While i never go for star wars designs i gotta say, I'm impressed. Now that i get the reference, I love it. I never wear star wars shirts because to the public it shouts "HUGE NERD" and i try to find a comfortable medium but seeing this is so fresh in my mind. While i never knew the name dali, i knew the melting clocks. And now that i know the name i will never forget it, just like I will never forget this design.

Wow!! Such an awesome concept!! I love it. I wish I were more of a Star Wars fan!

This is basically wonderful

avidan111 said: I never wear star wars shirts because to the public it shouts "HUGE NERD" and i try to find a comfortable medium but seeing this is so fresh in my mind.

Just wear what you like. If it really bothers you that much, work out a lot and try going out on dates to stave off preconceived stigmas, if you aren't already doing one or both (I'm not trying to be insulting, so forgive me if you initially took it that way).

Star Wars is a cultural behemoth in terms of popularity and universal appeal, and I'd even venture to say that the original trilogy of films are objectively great. Anyone who bothers you about it shouldn't be taken too seriously anyway, regardless of whether you're a "nerd" or not... =/

Bought!
