As soon as the checkout started to actually go through with the last shirt.... :(
I like this one too, but I wanted to other one for a gift for my boyfriend :(
Wow I feel like this got selected really fast! It feels like just yesterday that this was in the forum. Never played portal but its still a cool design. Congrats
Man, I would almost buy enough copies of the 50's gangster transformers shirt to last me the whole week, so I could wear it always. Maybe even some xl ones to sleep in... Who knows, I would go crazy!!!
Awesome! It seems so recently that I saw this in the forums, and now it's printed! Bought two, one for myself and one for the boyfriend. It should be a nice present because it'll arrive soon after we're out of exams :)
HOLY. smurf. THIS... THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART....IT..IT.....it makes me wanna cry!!![sniff,sniff] it makes me wanna sing as pure as a tulip in the wind that whooshes as a summer breeze rolls by that is part of nature that brings peace and purity into the world so we can live in harmony. in other words: INSTABUY
I was hoping to see this for sale! My FIRST teefury purchase! Very excited, thanks for the good and hard work put into designing this! Portal's so sweet!
Absolutely love the design and all things Classic Hollywood (especially double acts like Laurel and Hardy!) Sadly, I've never played Portal or else I would totally buy this. But I would definitely buy that amazing Gangster Transformers design!
Tuism said: I can't believe that so little people know about Laurel and Hardy! Also check out my giveaway at my facebook page :)
Thanks for the support guys! :D
I love Laurel and Hardy!! I've only seen Babes in Toyland (well, the movie itself was bad, but Laurel and Hardy were great) and a couple of shorts, but they're hilarious! Not my cup of tee (hee hee), but awesome job on the print! Tip of the hat to you for referencing a great comedy duo! We just need a Marx brothers shirt :D
Every time you've seen a comedy with a short fat character and a tall thin character as part of a duo, that's because of Laurel & Hardy. From The Blues Brothers to Pinky & The Brain to comedy double acts from Britain like The Two Ronnies or Cannon & Ball to Bert & Ernie on Sesame Street to Norm and Cliff on Cheers. Their films even invented Homer Simpson's "D'oh!"
And now the two robots from Portal 2 continue the tradition. Good catch from Tuism, great design.
I bet most people don't even understand the cake reference. Seems like the cake was just randomly thrown in there to support the portal theme. Should've also thrown the cube in while you were at it.
Today's shirt is fantastic. There has been a lot of great shirts as of late. I hate to do this, but I'm not making money on it but I started a site for people to write list on every topic possible, and I'm looking for as many people as we can to write different things and one idea is top teefury shirts. The site is www.SlapOnTheList.com check it out if you want, but I would love for people to write list and if you do, I have my email on there to send it. With that said, it is time to buy me a shirt.

Yay! Bearhugs!
Yes. Tuism is an incredible artist. He took a small break from designing and I hope this means he's going to be back for a long time to come! His illustration talents are extraordinary!
Literally not buying this because of the cake. I'm sick of this cake smurf. There was like, ONE reference to cake in the entirety of Portal 2. Let it die already. This design could have been an insta-buy for me.
Way over the use of the word "Literally". People are just not using it correctly. I'm sick of the blue smurfs. There is like ONE real way to use the word Literally. Let it die already. This word could have been an instant PIE for me.

LAUREL AND HARDY+PORTAL 2=BEST SHIRT EVER
Even more than Short Circuit+The Shining.
Love that 40's-60's Transformers sideart.
But seriously this is amazing, especially since they said Atlas and P-body were based on Laurel and Hardy in the commentary.
Truly an epic design! Portal is one of my favorite video games! Congrats to the designer on an awesome and creative idea I love the Laruel and Hardy twist to it! =] "The Cake is a LIE"
a few quick facts.
1. This is amazing
2. I love the color(the blue and orange on gr)
3.Tuism is insanely creative(check his fb)
4.The reference is thumbs up.
Thanks for the coolest 21 hours of Portal 2 & oldschool comedy support ever!
It's 3AM here and I'm going to go and pass out :) Thank you for loving the little idea that sprouted in my head! It really means a lot to me to see you enjoying it!
Good night! (wishing I can remember a GladDOS good night quote)
I love robots. I love Portal. When Portal 2 came with robots I exclaimed all sorts of Lonely Island expletives and rejoiced. The Atlas & Peabody duo was probably highly inspired by Laurel and Hardy, so to me this image was pretty much something that's as natural as cake and chocolate! This was my first project that I put on the Teefury forums as it formed, and I must say it was fun to share the creative process with the community and get some feedback.
Where are you from?
Johannesburg and Taiwan are my two standard answers, but what I really should say is the United States of Internets :)
How did you get started designing t-shirts?
It started with AV Mouse which I designed for a local T-shirt business www.springleap.com, followed by Terminated March for Teefury. From there I fell in love with making up random pretty stuff that would mean nothing in any other medium than t-shirt! It's better than canvas and sculpture, better than posters and mugs - it's ideas floating in and out of real people's real lives - and I love it!!
What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?
Just create! The worst thing you can do is to not create because of ANY reason. The more you do, the better you'll get, period. Also open your eyes to the internet - it is pure distilled inspiration. Hit up sites like theawesomer.com to keep your juices flowing. Learn from the best, then add your own thoughts.
What would be your dream job?
I still wanna be an astronaut. And I love robots. So if I can get a job creating robots in space that'd be nice. A Gundam Pilot, then.
What is your favorite thing about comedy?
It's amorphous, never concrete. By the time you think you figured it out it's something else again. And it makes smiles and laughter, and there's nothing cooler than creating happiness!
What would your ideal house be like?
In a space-robot, with an orange portal inside, armed with a blue portal-gun.
Stand-up comic vs. comic strip: which would win the battle?
Stand-up would throw the first punch, cos strip would probably have its hands rather full, what with taking it off and all. It all depends on if there's an audience or not, too. Guys don't like to see strippers getting beat up...
OK but seriously though, stand-up would win the battle of happiness provision by being a direct injection of LOL into people's lives, and crosses all kinds of boundaries (most of the time)
What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?
I was a massive sucker for comics, which was called manga where I'm from. By 8, every bit of paper (books, money, dad's work stuff) I touched would be transformed into (very badly drawn) robot collages. I simply could not stop drawing. My favourite manga was probably Doraemon, about the blue robot cat who brought happiness and gadgets to everyone, and lost her ears to rats.
What are a few of your favorite websites?
theawesomer.comis always a wellspring for inspiration (and them having featured my AV Mouse and Terminated March tees earned them brownie points) and always just so damn much fun.I always visit Teefury.com everyday (duh!), and 4chan's also good for internet exploration (and exploitation). But mostly I get the internet fed to me by my twitter - I don't go to sites anymore! @tuism's favourite follows include @kotaku, @jimiyo, @ashelia, @shapshak, @engadget, @Behance :)
Any shout outs?
Shout out to @EranEyal for setting me on this T-shirt designing road, FuzzyLogic (do you Twitter dude?) for being a cool t-shirt connoisseur, @Jimiyo for being such an inspiration (and assist) to all artists online ever, @vonplatypus for being a great help, and everyone that has supported me and my crazy art! A reminder to everyone that I've got some classics to give away at my blinkin' new page at www.tuism.com, so please pop by! Cheers!
