I LOVE parks and rec and Ron Swanson is an awesome character. But this designs not doing it for me. It's not bad, but i wouldn't wear it, simply because i feel like theres a specific style to it that i'm missing? idk i dont exactly "get it"
Ugh! I want to so much because Parks & Rec is the best show in existence but I cannot unsee the eggs as droopy nipples.
It hurts my heart but I....I think I'm going to have to pass.
Sadly, as much as I want to get behind a P&R, Ron Swanson concept, the unfortunate placement of the eggs will also count me out. I think this will be a learning experience for teefury to look at designs as being ON shirts and not just great images. Best of luck on this one.
Third t-shirt in three weeks, stop being so amazing TeeFury. I was telling my brother the other day how much you guys needed to do a give me all of the bacon and eggs that you have shirt. Thanks for the eavesdrop.
Oh man, the placement of those eggs is unfortunate. Sorry :(
Though I think Ron would whole heartedly approve of egg nipples, so I am willing to turn a blind eye to this miss hap. I just hope some of you can too. Anyway, thanks for the other kind words! :)
what's everybody's problem with their nipples?
you have them, I have them, we ALL have them, so everbody else knows YOU have them as well, pretty much placed we the rest of the worlds sports their nipples too. so you might just as well have eggs on them. sheesh ... get over it, it's your body, for better or worse it is what it is
/rant
I like egg nipples, it's funny. also, it's great shirt, colour- and design-wise. sadly, I don't know the show it's referencing
andynoa said: Would buy if not for the egg nipples.
I find this to be true for so many shirts lol. I pass up so many for that reason.
Someone ought to make a design that's supposed to look like nipples, might as well at this point.
LOVE the idea, but why does the shirt have to be baby blue? I've seen lots of designs I've liked this month, but all on white or light blue shirts and I know if I buy it, I won't wear it bc of the color. Great design, though :)
I don't watch Parks and Rec and I saw this clip recently and thought "smuuuuuurf I should start watching that show". Not a buy for me since I am not a fan but I think the design itself is bad ass even with the egg nipples! :D Hope some of you who are fans will still rock this shirt.
Love the concept. Hate the color (Ron Swanson would NEVER wear baby blue). Hate the eggs (Ron Swanson would NEVER walk around with egg nipples, even if Tammy wanted him to).
Even if I knew who Ron Swanson was, I am afraid the placement of those fried eggs makes it a definite no, from me. Definitely not a T a lady could wear unfortunately. Congrats on the print though.
This design was inspired by one the greatest men to have ever lived (within our TVs), and his love for breakfast foods: Ron Swanson.
Where are you from?
Well, I was born in a nowhere commuter town call Leighton Buzzard, in England. At one point it was labelled the "Drug capital of the UK" so it's just your typical quaint English town, with its fair share of
pubs, drunks, mock Tudor houses and used needles. Fortunately I escaped, and caught a black cab to London as soon as I could, and it's been home for the last five years. There are more used needles here,
but it's a lot cooler.
What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
I call eggs pre-birds.
What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
I'm not actually Swedish at all.
Name a few of your favorite things.
Parks and Recreation (obviously), Daniel Clowes graphic novels, Jack Daniels and coke, awesome burgers, Invincible, New York City, Lego, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jens Lekman, Game of Thrones, Iron Chic, karaoke, Wayne's World (1&2), Xbox, Madman, golden ales, Caspian, Gothenburg and all the meats. I could go on, but these are the essentials.
What kind of art did you make as a kid?
In the UK we have a kids comic called The Beano, and I remember drawing characters from that all the time. I remember being 6 and drawing wolves. A lot. And the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Other than that, I was obsessed with drawing various X-Men. The thing is, I was never that good. I'm no artist, just a graphic designer who gets by with simple shapes in Illustrator.
What is your favorite thing about Parks & Recreation?
It would be easier to say what I don't like about it! The character development from one season to the next is brilliant. The fact that you actually care about these fictional people, for a sitcom, is a great thing to achieve. There isn't a bad character in it, even the smaller supporting characters. It's incredibly well written, and most of all, it's funny. Really funny. For me, it's filled the hole that Arrested Development left when it was cancelled. And dare I say it, I may actually prefer Parks & Recs now. I know, it's comedy blasphemy to say such things!
Bacon vs. eggs: which would win the battle?
There is no competition: Always the meat.
Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
This is probably a bit arrogant, but I really love one of the shirts I designed for Canadian band Les Jupes. It's an image of a cycloptic king, wielding a sword. I think the reason I like it so much is that
it was one of the first things I designed where I took a step back from it and thought "I'm really proud of that." As a whole, I'm pretty critical of my own work, but cycloptic kings are pretty awesome!
Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
I love all three, but I watch films more than the other two. If I had to pick my favourite film of all time, it'd be Groundhog Day or Me and You and Everyone we know.
What inspires your work?
Everything and nothing. It's mainly music or film that inspires the content, and that's always been the case. In terms of imagery, I love Scandinavian design, and communist propaganda posters, especially those from Russia. In all honesty, I take in so much, I don't think I could ever pinpoint what inspires me. Music, film, TV, food, comics, books, furniture, friends, London, New York, Sweden... They're all in there, even if it's not evident on the surface.
Any shout outs?
Erm, I am going to use this 24 hours of internet fame to plug my website: www.secretlyswedish.com! Thanks. Oh, and a shout out to Nick Offerman, for portraying such a great character in Ron Swanson.
