Apologies to anyone affected by the shipping confirmation email mishap, but we believe the glitch is now resolved :) Thanks for your help and patience! - Teevil
Wow. I bought your last Dark Tower shirt. This was so subtle it took 10 minutres to sink in. Going to sit on it overnight, but will probably buy. I finished book 7 a few months ago, but damned if the Captain Trip reference isn't lost on me. Explain? Gimmie that Portal side art, too. You are my favorite teefury artist.
For those of you wondering here are the references that I spot:
The Stand is the book referenced this way:
-Arnette Texas is where the plague starts
-Captain Trips is the nickname that people give the plague.
-Randal "Flagg" was the Dark Man, the walkin' dude, or to put it simply the devil incarnate/anti-Christ
-The buttons were worn by the dark man
-"Baby, Can You Dig Your Man" was a song written by one of the main characters
The Dark Tower references:
-The red rose
-the word chrimson
This is my first buy, but I just had to do it. I've been drinking super strong pirate rum and I love The Stand, so this shirt is perfect for me! (yes I realize it says whiskey, but not everything can be perfect, can it?)
One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors! I haven't bought from here in a long time, but I think I'm going to have to break the trend for this!

Never seen someone give Jimiyo the props he deserves for always picking great designs. Yay ellethom and yay Jimiyo!
For sure - "Jimiyo always delivers" could be a shirt in it's own right. But then we'd be missing out the rest of the fine curators at Teefury.
Absolutely love the "Bad Horse" side art by the way.

Exactly what i thought, then realized it was WAAAAAAY better than a Warriors shirt. Are you kidding me? Awesome print. Just when I swore off Teefury for taking all my moneys... alas you get 10 more dollars. Epic Win.
LOVE the side art! Especially the Bad Horse and Firefly ones!!! I would buy them both! (Especially the shirt for Bad Horse - there just aren't enough Dr. Horrible shirts out there!)
Wow, read The Stand twice and knew this was familiar - still had to read the comments to get it! I like the subtlety. Faux liquor/beer/etc ads not really my style though.
Yeah!! So excited about this shirt; I remember when it was "side art" a month or so ago and I wanted it BAD. "The Stand" one of my all-time favorite books. Love the shirt, can't wait to get it!
Loving the Fifth Element sideart. If the shirt wasnt such a vague reference I'd probably buy it. WTB a Dark Tower shirt!! Wolves of the Calla was one of my favorite SK books of all time.
xEvaHx said: "Flaggs" needs an apostrophe. I don't understand the rose in the skull's eye, maybe it's a reference to the Dark Tower.
Definitely a Dark Tower reference. There is a field of roses at the foot of the Dark Tower. And a Rose they ka-tet have to protect. (I really hope that didn't spoil anyone, sorry if it did)

I believe this is a reference to King's masterpiece "The Stand". The buttons on the hat belong to Flagg and notice the reference to Arnette Texas? Good lookin out for tower stuff though. A true fan of King sees the Dark Tower in all his work. lol

I agree as a whole the shirt is referencing The Stand..but the rose is definitely Tower related. :) lol
Been a while since the last post for me but, I had to shed the cobwebs from my fingers to say "yes please" to the 5th Element and Portal side art!!!!!!
Your most inspiring media? Oil paints are my favourite media to work in, but also the most time-consuming. I like to work quick and get things done, so I usually just stick with digital.
How long does it take for an idea to become reality, what is your general work routine for a standard art piece? Oh, jeez, those nouveau pieces take like 15-20 hours or so. Other designs typically take a little bit less. My routine is usually to thumbnail something small and low-res, find some helpful references, mash them up in a similar design, and then draw a more refined design using the references to help me. I don't draw anything on paper--I just do it all in photoshop.
If you could pick only ONE fandom to draw/paint from for the rest of your life, what would it be? Oh jeez. I'd say Firefly, but there's only one season. So I'll say Battlestar Galactica, just 'cause there's more there. :)
How old were you when you realised you wanted to do an art based career? I think I was four when I told my mom I wanted to be a painter! Well, a painter and a professional softball player.
Did your parents ever say 'get a real job'? Never! My parents have always been extremely supported and have never suggested I deviate from my artistic path.
Do you prefer working digitally or real paint? As far as work-related art, definitely digital. It's easier to fix and cheaper. There is nothing more fun and relaxing than painting with actual paint, though. Love it.
Your advice for other artists trying to start out on sites like Teefury and Ript? Figure out the demographic each site caters to, first. Teefury, Woot, Qwertee, Ript, Threadless all have a a different audience that you need to appeal to. Look at past designs and get an idea, but don't do stuff that's *too* similar. Sites like TF want to keep a variety. Once you get started on your design, make sure you learn about the shirt printing process a little bit. CMYK printing, colour limitations, halftones, etc. And don't be afraid to ask questions and see what you could be doing better.
What music do you listen to while working? I almost never listen to music. I watch a TON of Netflix. :) I just finished watching Torchwood and Community, and am thinking of rewatching Battlestar Galactica. :)
Which Firefly/Serenity character would you be? Kaylee, no doubt. She is just relentlessly happy, and I'm pretty much like that. It takes a lot to get me down.
Of all your ideas for art projects, what proportion do you see through to completion, and what proportion are crumpled wads tossed in the trash (or recycling bin) because they're unworkable or not meeting your expectations? How and at what point in the process do you decide? I'd say I finish approximately 90% of the work I start. I usually start to hate projects when I'm about 30% done, but I always try to push through, unless I *know* it's absolutely terrible, haha. I can usually tell if it's not going how I want after I start to lay down colour. If the colour isn't working, then the whole thing probably isn't going to.
