Oh, my God, that's so cute and clever. Gotta sleep on it. Is there any website we can go to for art and stuff? Like, I want some of that side art for desktop wallpaper, or another shirt, particularly the ghost with the music, and the zombie unicorn. Dude, you are awe-some.
so cute. I'm a sucker for puns. and I like the weird stuff. First buy in a while for me. I wish the princess bride tee would have related to the very recently late and great Peter Falk :(. But oh well
I want the last two sidearts. I would spend money on those. The shirt "rowbot" is really cute, but it's a little too bright blue. I love what you wrote for telling about the design, very nice. =P Overall, great work! (I just don't like overly bright colors...I'm too white.)
Once nit-pick though is that he's sitting in the boat backwards. The "pointed" bow should be behind him to allow for less water resistance. The "straight" stern should be where his feet are located.
Quality design :) Would love to see the NES/Sega High Five or Zombie Unicorn printed. Shirts like that are my guilty pleasure. So humorous that people don't know what to think when they look at you.
I hate to say it, but something was bothering me about this t-shirt...
He's rowing backwards; for the robot to be in that orientation the bow would have to be pointing the other way and the ripples be on the lower right; or the robot would have to have its back to us...

The bow of the boat is facing the wrong direction, the wake is correct, and the oars are in the correct position, but the robot's back needs to be to us. one does not look out the front of a rowboat whilst rowing, at least not with standard human style arms. please see "US Marshals" starring robert downey jr. and tommy lee jones for a modified rowboat that works the way the one on your shirt does.
To those of you who have pointed out that the boat is backwards:
If this shirt were named 'Rowboy' instead of 'Rowbot', and it had a picture of a young boy rowing the boat backwards like this: I would gladly join in the criticism. However! This is clearly a robot that is designed to be able to row a boat whilst looking in the right direction. I would expect that any robot created to row a boat would certainly have this as part of it's feature list. ;)
I really love the style, but the fact that the robot is facing the wrong way stands out to me. I'll have to sleep on it and see how I feel about it in the morning.
Love the color on this shirt it's really great but the frog dissection side art I would buy in a hot minute...also my mystery tees came today and I have to share my joy at getting a river tam and the fireflies!
Actually, I think how the rowboat is made works due to the fact it makes the robot appear to move forward and off the shirt. The point of the rowboat makes you look that way. It would look too awkward had it be done another way, but that's my opinion.
I had this sculpting teacher once who wanted us to make robots out of cardboard. He had a very thick accent. All of us made robots except one guy. He made a rowboat. His accent made the two words indistinguishable. The guy then turned his rowboat into a robotic rowboat.
I love this design, and I'm from the UK. So winning this shirt would be so much cheaper than paying for the shirt plus shipping! Obviously I'd be thrilled to win, also I love the witty design!';D
It's cute, but he's facing the wrong way if he's rowing, which would bother me if I was wearing it. Congrats on the print though - looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Why does it matter so much if its the wrong way? It's a robot not a human so its not like it has to be 100% realistic! Sheesh!
Anyway... this is sooooooo cute and I love the colour!!! :) I think I need this..... but I do NEED the zombie unicorn me and my partner are kinda obsessed with zombies and unicorns are awesome so really need that one!!
Has anyone else noticed he's facing the wrong way, oar have I missed something? (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun)
Anyway, it's my birthday so by law I have to buy this shirt. Plus I love the design and love the colour. Win win.
sweet! I love how this looks like Bender in that one episode where he dreamt he was a wooden robot. and I don't understand why people don't like the colour, I think it's lovely. it's summer time, bright colours are allowed now :D
A wooden robot? I think not! He'd be worse than useless - maybe he's rowing out into the river so he can kill himself, lol! Also, there's a bit of white wave just behind his head on his right side that makes it look like he's got an elf ear! Love the zombie unicorn side art - tee please! ^_^
Got it!
And want several side arts.... Mainly the Nintendo and PlayStation ((much love!!)), then the frog, the rest are awesome but might not buy for myself.
To everyone saying he's backwards, he's a robot, he doesn't need to pull to make it easier to row like we do. In fact it would probably be easier with his straight arms to push.
Sides it's more cute this way.

Not to be disrespectful of the artist but isn't the logic a little wrong?
If anyone has ever rowed a boat before you know your back is to the bow of the boat... or the pointy end. That way you can use your back muscles, and legs to row harder.
It seems like he is rowing incorrectly to me. Usually you want to be facing the back of the boat and using your weight to pull the oars through the water. Cute shirt, but this Row-Bot don't know howta Row.
Unfortunately the artist has never rowed a boat.
1. You face the stern, not the bow.
2. The oars must be in oar locks or you`re now rowing, you`re paddling.
Artist`s impression of rowing leaves me cold.
Cute design. But, um, have you ever rowed a boat? Just that the robot is sitting backwards. It should be sitting with its back to the prow (pointy bit). I know, I know, details, details. Still.
tee_pain said: For the record, it isn't the wrong way, he has his body turned around because he's pondering a change of direction, but hasn't started rowing yet.
A wonderfully ironic situation, a fully functional robot using a paddle boat, pondering his freedom of choice.
I completely agree... you can even see it on his face... he's thinking "On one hand i could get kicked out of camp and lose all of the trust with my parents... but on the other hand i get to see my girlfriend..." It's definitely a hard decision for him.
Although I will accept that being a rowbot must mean he has overcome the limitation of human rowing. Also, that his hands/clamps would function as oar locks.

This. I was just gonna say that... :)
Yeah, that was my issue too. I mean... the bot could be rowing the boat forwards... but that's just ridiculous.
This may sound a bit dickish, but people that row a boat face the back of the boat...cute design, just wish the subject matter would of been researched a bit better.
I really wish you had children's sizes! I'd totally buy the cute designs for my kids. I love this one, the color is awesome. I hope to see more of this color.
Pretty sweet design, punny indeed. I am a sucker for blue but thats a bit bright for my tastes, congrats. Also, I love the NES/Genesis side art. However, I feel that should not be the Genesis, it should be the Master System: Genesis was a generation after NES
I love this little guy! Original art is great. I enjoy the pop culture artistic mash ups that teefury is so skilled at curating, but I wish this kind of original design made up the majority of the tshirts.
Its a robot rowing a rowboat. He's probably in a lake. I'd imagine he sneaked out of his cabin and is rowing to the opposite shore where the girl robot camp is. You can tell by the look on his face that he's pretty nervous about the camp counselor checking his bunk. He stuck his dufflebag under the blanket so it kinda looks like he's still in bed, but man...if he gets caught, he knows it'll be a call home. His dad warned him that he better shape up or expect some serious consequences. Why can't he just focus and get his life on track?? Oh well, its a risk, but it'll be worth it. you're only a robot once.
Where are you from?
Simi Valley! Hidden jewel of Southern California. The soda flows like water and the pizza parties are nightly.
How did you get started designing t-shirts?
I was making stupid pictures already...and then i figured out you can submit them to things! Perfect situation.
What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?
Stop already! You're making your ancestors sad.
What would be your dream job?
Probably what I'm doing...weird huh! Teaching and making fun things on the side.
What is your favorite thing about robots?
The lower half.
What would your ideal house be like?
Small and wooden...shingles and a dutch door. and a hedge maze out front.
Motorcycles vs. bicycles: which would win the battle?
I don't what to touch that volatile topic! Politics aren't my thing.
What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?
Cartoons for sure! I always wanted to like comics, but they were too much work to stay current on.
It probably wasn't my favorite at the time, but in retrospect I'd like to believe that Count Duckula was the best.
