It's a reference to the game Bioshock, where a type of enemy called a Big Daddy had a large drill on one arm, and wrecked everything's smurf with it.

You couldn't be more wrong. The words are fantastic. It needs the Art Deco Font and the phrase is simple yet bittersweet, like the game itself. Like the adverts and architecture of Rapture.. what appears as benign and harmless can take on a drastic and dark shadow and become something horrifying and haunting.

Great shirt. Comment from an English major, though: there should be another comma in front of "baby," so the quote reads "Drill, baby, drill". I'm pretty sure we're not drilling babies. :]

The shirt is cool, but not feeling it. I haven't bought a shirt in a long time because everything is tied into something else(TV show, video game, movie, toys, etc).

Jackpot777said 50 weeks ago

If the artist were to go to certain political discussion forums and post a link here:

1 - every Sarah Palin follower would consider buying it.

2 - it would go triple platinum pancakes before noon.

3 - the level of Freeper Derp on this site would be excruciatingly painful for a month or so, as every one of them submits a Ronald Reagan design (and complains that their First Amendment rights are being crushed because their design isn't being accepted).

Yet another buyer who loves the Bioshock reference, the artwork, and the font, yet loathes the text. I get that it's a witty MashedPotato reference using the game and a popular political movement, but I just can't make myself wear a shirt that has that slogan on it without any context to make it clear I'm not supporting that particular movement. :( The art is gorgeous, though -- I would love to see more by this artist, that's for sure! :)

You clearly do care if it's "republican" because you would rather not have that slogan on your shirt because of it's association with the party, I mean you literally just made the connection yourself, so it's pretty obvious. Use some perspective man. The slogan is absolutely brilliant for this franchise. It could've been coined by the Mad Men of Rapture for eff's sake. It works in conjunction with this piece and fiction. Secondly, any oil-humping republican who comes up to you to go "HECK YEAH LET'S DRILL!" you can scoff at and walk away with them scratching their head like an idiot. Finally, most would probably leave you alone once they see the "BLOODY DRILL" as blood has long been an image associated with DISPARAGING the oil industry. All arguments for wearing the shirt while being politically aware.

If you just don't want to wear it because you want to avoid politics in general, well you've done a pretty good job of not avoiding them by using them as a means of not purchasing a tee shirt.

I'm not bashing the artist or the concept. I looooove Bioshock, such a creative franchise. But (I also made this comment on Facebook) the drill pointing downwards bears striking resemblance of a powerful force of nature that we call "tornado." Considering all of the recent tragedies that tornadoes have been involved with (Joplin, Alabama, OKC, etc...), the design is kind of tasteless. I'm sorry, this is not a critique. Just a little nudge in the side, to draw attention to a slight tenderness in the American midwest right now.

The artwork is great, but it's the quote that really makes this for me. Perhaps the naysayers just don't get the Andrew Ryan/Ayn Rand tie in to Palin's quote.

Kudos! I'll be wearing it soon.

Yes, I'm glad that we don't call those powerful forces of nature "drills", otherwise someone might be able to strangely misinterpret this shirt. ;P I mean, it's tasteless because it has something that is shaped like a tornado, seriously? That doesn't really make any sense to me..

Anyway, I'm in for one.. The text is a perfect combination with Bioshock, as the effects of rampant capitalism were a large part of the first game. Amazing job, jewelwing!

Hm, would you happen to have this as a print? It'd be a great poster for my wall.

Definitely a split feeling in the comments about of the words... to each their own.

Just think how many more shirts would have sold though if the words had been left off. Not that it's all about selling... it's about happy people wearing t-shirts. But I'm sure happy people making money making sweet t-shirts is also a part of it.

I don't really know how this teefury site works, all I can say is I hope to see this tee make another appearance without the words.

I second the request for a print. In fact, I'd buy a hi-res wallpaper of this.

I'm tempted to get it just cause I love the design, but I haven't played Bioshock yet so I don't get the reference. ;)

I triply agree. I love Bioshock, and I love the look of this tee, but that phrase is tacky and it takes away from the elegantly simple design.

The design is fantastic. And I think it works within the context of the game, where Ryan is constantly pushing isolationism and doing your own thing so that you alone can reap the benefits. Makes sense to me. I bought it as soon as I saw it. Rock on.

Absolute favorite shirt I've seen in a while, and proud to announce that this is the first shirt that I will be buying off of TeeFury after a long time of just watching the designs go buy when I remember to look.

So, without further adieu, I finally get to say this..

Insta-buy!

I don't alway buy teefury shirts, but when I do, they're either related to video games, or a Big Lebowski reference.

Stay nerdy my friends.

The text should have had something to do with "Would you kindly" I dig the design, but I hate to say the text ruins it for me. Congrats on the print and good luck!

The design is really well done, and extremely cool looking, but I'm afraid I know zilch about Bioshock.

Indeed.

Urrrggghhh, 31st May was my 21st birthday, so I didn't have time to check Teefury, and of course its a design from my favourite game series!

Anyone know where I can get a Men's Medium?

Tell us about this design.

Bioshock is my favorite game of all time and I've wanted to make a shirt about it for such a long time. I finally came up with this concept and I thought it fit in well with some of the messages of the game.

What is your favorite thing about Bioshock?

The whole underwater world is AMAZING. I want to live there. I dream about living there. Splicers and all, I don't care, it's just too beautiful. Sometimes I play it and don't do anything but walk around and look at things. The visuals paired with the creepy old music manages to create an atmosphere that is everything I want. And It's inspiring.

Who would win in a fight, a bear or a dolphin?

Two possibilities...

Vector vs. raster: which would win the battle?

Have to go with vector on that one. Vector's first move would be to start getting bigger and bigger to overpower raster. Raster would try to keep up, but at some point it would be too much for him and he'd just explode into a million fuzzy pixels. No one would even be able to tell what he was anymore. So vector would be the "clear" winner.

Describe the strangest shirt you own.

It's from The Shark Bite Bar & Grill in the Turks & Caicos. It's has a big shark's jaw on it, but the one I have is done with bright, tropical pink ink on a baby pink tee. Something about a skeleton done in beautiful colors is kind of strange and great to me.
