dead bird - eyeslikesugar

  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    Good on ya though, TF :)
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    yes! i love it! buying, now!
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    it's not marroon, but it is black!

    still a win! ;D
  • Shmaptysaid 185 weeks ago

    So much for the "lesson" idea, but good idea going with what the people wanted.
  • Fat Possomsaid 185 weeks ago

    done and done.
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    ORDER IS CONFIRMED! THANK YOU TEEFURY! Third Teefury purchase for me! Refreshed the page after my comment about buying it, and there it was! AWESOME!
  • peppersagooddogsaid 185 weeks ago

    i love you, you sexy bitches
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    To make it more rare teefury, you should only post the dead bird in situations like this. I know you strive to make sure this NEVER happens, but sometimes things do that are out of your control. If you ever kill a design again, its time for the dead bird. I don't know but this shirt symbolizes something more... Its more than just a design to me now. :)
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    bought! and loved!

    i still think there should be some sort of note,
    perhaps on the side,
    where the usually info goes,
    about the 'other' shirt for today.

    hmm. i wonder, if any were bought, and if they were,
    are they going to be sold?
  • cardinalgoldsteinsaid 185 weeks ago

    Huh. Shirt isn't very interesting, but I'm sure the story behind its appearance is.
  • laynesaid 185 weeks ago

    We will never offer the dead bird in our regularly scheduled monthly teefury tee, and hopefully we never have to bring the dead bird out again ;)
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    i agree with jakey,
    i am so happy to buy this shirt.
    i feel like it represents something more;
    such as the rights to your own work,
    and not to others.
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    eludingsun, they won't print that shirt. I'm sure the order will be canceled then you will get a refund if you ordered it. I don't think they will just automatically make you get the dead bird shirt instead.

    I just feel bad for anyone that bought the shirt then went to bed.
  • hunger mousesaid 185 weeks ago

    Ha! Dead bird moment. Something about that last shirt was like ehhh, seen it b4. Guess it was for real. I wasn't really sure and I'm new here. Don't think I have that kind of clout yet...
  • Outlashsaid 185 weeks ago

    I must say, I'm sort of disappointed with today's shirt.
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    cardinalgoldstien,
    in short there is a story.
    and it is, a shirt was made,
    and it was a shirt that had already been made,
    and the artist admit to taking the design from somewhere else.
    the shirt was taken down,
    and the dead bird is up to represent this.
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    thank you Layne, thank you Tee Fury, you just made my night... I'm so glad I posted the suggestion.
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    layne, you made my night too. thank you.

    will you be selling the shirt, if any,
    had already been bought of the previous shirt?
  • icecubesaid 185 weeks ago

    Oh shoot... I want this shirt. X_X, but I don't know if I should spend more money. AH.
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    This is such a fun night, so much going on here at almost 2 AM :)

    Layne, I agree, if it never happens again, all the better! Now that I have this bird shirt, I feel like I'm obligated to buy every single bird shirt that ever comes out! Time to collect.

    I just want to say I'm very impressed with Teefury. This place seems to cater to the customer, and Teefury listens in real time! It seems we all feel appreciated and were rewarded with the Dead Bird shirt (Also since it fit the situation) but nonetheless our voices were heard and Teefury made it happen right away. I almost feel like I'm forming a relationship with Teefury. Its not just a place to spend my money, its just one big happy family ;) :)
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    ^^^ ditto ^^^
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    jakey, certainly said everything i was thinking,
    but much more eloquently then i would have.

    i completely agree,
    thanks for saying it jakey.


    and to teefury,
    in addition to what he said,
    you are officially my new favorite site.
    thank you for all your respect to artist everywhere,
    this means to world to me.
  • hunger mousesaid 185 weeks ago

    How many Tee Fury members are there?
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    Got one :D
  • encgsaid 185 weeks ago

    I like it a lot, it's plain and simple.
  • laynesaid 185 weeks ago

    And for anyone who wants to start the Dead Bird Society or something similar here is the logo in .pdf (just open in illustrator for an editable file)

    Download the TeeFury Dead Bird Logo here.
  • SapphirePhoenixsaid 185 weeks ago

    What a great story behind the "Dead Bird" tee. I think I'll sleep on it and then see if my desire to buy one becomes too much to handle upon awakening.

    Also, what would really rock is having the next "Dead Bird" design be some sort of chalk outline of the TeeFury Bird! What do you think?
  • laynesaid 185 weeks ago

    we are blushing right now.
  • OpenIntrosaid 185 weeks ago

    THE DEAD BIRD!!!!!!!!!
  • laynesaid 185 weeks ago

    OpenIntro - you know we use your site all the time right? Thanks for keeping an archive - we keep meaning to add one - but yours is just so nice its easy to put it off.
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    it feels like xmas morning. what the hell is wrong with me?
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    openintro,
    i love you site,
    i show off my shirts that i own,
    or wanted to to all my friends!

    thanks for keep it up!
  • Shmaptysaid 185 weeks ago

    I like the Dead Bird site 'cause you can see how many shirts have been printed in each color. Need more banana!
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    eludingsun, that looked almost like a haiku..

    Tee Fury knows how to
    keep their customers happy
    Yay for the dead bird.
  • SapphirePhoenixsaid 185 weeks ago

    Not to keep lauding you with praises, OpenIntro, but I agree that your site is awesome.

    Sadly, seeing some of the extinct designs (I know that some could still be offered by the artist) only makes me wish I had found TeeFury a lot sooner :(...
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    eyeslikesugar,
    ha, it did! oops!

    teefury does,
    therefore i love it.
  • bleousaid 185 weeks ago

    o god i've been waiting for a dead bird tee for so long now!! i've bought so many tees and watched and waited and he's finally here!

    big bummer about the tee earlier. i thought it looked familiar.

    anyway, i will have to buy this shirt tomorrow when i've convinced myself i cannot live without it.
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    i wanna try the haiku...

    I have been praying
    for the dead bird shirt to come
    today is f'n amazing, I can't contain my excitement.


    smurf... too long, I think lol
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    Rhowdy.. you could end with 'today is the best' ;)
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    i coulda dropped the f'n, but I'm on what amounts to a sugar-high cuz of this, so I couldn't help it
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    rhowdy you were close...
    the first two lines work!

    5,7,5!

    'i have been praying
    for the dead bird shirt to come
    today's is amazing'
    would have worked!

    ;D
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    eyes totally beat me too that response. hee hee.
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    I agree SapphirePhoenix, I'm seeing so many prints there that are so incredible, makes me sad to know they exist and I don't have them.

    I didn't realize the science shirt the other day was called "Newton's Work" Newton is my last name and believe it or not (I'm 100% telling you the truth) my Fathers name is Isaac. I couldn't think of a shirt that is more fitting for me, its a shame I missed it.

    Teefury, you've stirred quite the commotion with the Dead Bird shirt. Imagine you took the 24 hour break? Heheheh... I love reading everyones comments and praises. We're all so happy :)
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    lol... I should really try to sleep


    good night all
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    Looks like Rhowdy's sugar high is coming to an end ;)
  • eludingsunsaid 185 weeks ago

    i agree with rhowdy,
    i'm off to bed..

    thanks for making my night everyone!

    xoxox.
  • snarkygalsaid 185 weeks ago

    Layne, you are the best but you are driving me to the poorhouse LMAO!!!!!! Another Teefury on its way to my house..this will make 11 I believe.

    I need to start selling more of my Woot shirts. I've sold 6 so far...and those were only the ones I hadn't worn yet. LOL
  • SapphirePhoenixsaid 185 weeks ago

    Jakey, it doesn't seem like the artist (Josh Eacret) is offering the same design available to wear but he's also on anothersite and had the sketch is called "Isaac Newton" in Mystic Purple.

    I looked through the TF archive and two of them really jumped out at me. I would love to find "Diamonds" by jimiyo and "The Beasties Under the Bed" by wotto somewhere.

    Getting late. Night all!
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    SapphirePhoenix - Sawdust and diamonds? Wanna trade? :D I have a WXL.. if interested -- my username (at) gmail. :)
  • N0223Csaid 185 weeks ago

    TeeFury, it seems you have created the newest obsession.

    Even my bedtime has altered to fit your schedule.

    Keep doing what you do. It's working quite well. :]
  • derekfilleysaid 185 weeks ago

    Nice. I can see this catching on.
  • armPittmansaid 185 weeks ago

  • Anniesaid 185 weeks ago

    Not only do we get the illusive dead bird, but we get it for 25 hours! Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight everyone!
  • brycedriesengasaid 185 weeks ago

    Oh man. I am so low on cash.

    Just sent an email to my parents, as I assume they are trying to figure out Christmas gifts for me. ;)


    ++ Posted while wearing TeeFury Heartbreak shirt. Ha.
  • wottosaid 185 weeks ago

    layne to the rescue!

    the fury community is awesome!
  • Merovingiansaid 185 weeks ago

    I'm so new, could someone explain to me all the commotion around this dead bird? I know the TeeFury logo is the bird, but why is everyone wanting this dead bird version of it?

    Also, what type shirts are TF printed on? Quality?

    Many, many thanks.....
  • Merovingiansaid 185 weeks ago

    doh! OK, just read layne's write-up. That clarifies things, lol. sorry.

    But still, what type of shirts are printed on here at TeeFury? How is the quality, fit, etc. compared to American Apparel ?
  • MostBestestBuddysaid 185 weeks ago

    There are a few threads on this http://www.teefury.com/forum/144/So.._how_do_the_shirts_fit?
    is one and it has size info
    but just in my experience the teefury shirts (women's) have a cute cut and are a little bit tighter than American Apparel, I order a size larger than AA.
  • TurboGraphx16said 185 weeks ago

    REALLY?!?!?!?!? WOW !!!!!!

    I have the chance to buy a black T-Shirt featuring a modified version of a crappy logo, a version that's an inside reference for a website most of society hasn't heard of?

    Wow, I can TOTALLY see why so many people are excited about this !!!

    Sigh.
  • kypsweisaid 185 weeks ago

    Oh TurboGraphx16,
    You just don't understand. You make me very sad :(
  • 2thFairysaid 185 weeks ago

    I have a very nice collection of all the TeeFury logo bird shirts. So happy to have this one too! Glad I checked back on the site this morning or I would've missed it after the original shirt was removed.
  • erinleesaid 185 weeks ago

    That's what I love most about TeeFury. They do listen to their customers and care about what we think. I hope you guys keep it up this way...and TeeFury will go a loooooooooooooooonnnnnggg way!
  • biotwistsaid 185 weeks ago

    at the very least I need a new black shirt
  • bdgarfieldsaid 185 weeks ago

    Wow probably the best idea I ever saw on a website.
    I check back to see if the "very insipired of" design was still there and I find a dead teefury bird XD
    This is such a great site 8D
    I just hope that I'll be able to buy this one, last time I tried to buy a shirt here they refunded me the day after >
  • thejakeyl88said 185 weeks ago

    TurboGraphx16, from time to time I see your name on a t-shirt forum, but I've yet to see a positive post from you ;) can you point me to one?

    I for one lived through the experience last night and understand very well what this shirt signifies :P

    heheh...
  • matt2koolsaid 185 weeks ago

    been waiting for the dead bird

    also, please ban turbographx16. he/she/it obviously has nothing good to contribute to the awesome world of tee fury.
  • mitchellzwicksaid 185 weeks ago

    I think TeeFury should have it's own store so they can sell their own t-shirts or something and have the other kind of shirts on their normal site. Not bashing TeeFury, but there seems to be a lot of TeeFury logo shirts lately.

    Just saying, I might buy this one though!
  • laynesaid 185 weeks ago

    TurboGraphx16 I really enjoyed your yoo-hoo article ;) Please throw us a bit more of that creative love! We had a crazy night last night and this tee was the result ;)
  • icecubesaid 185 weeks ago

    Well there are reasons for that mitchellzwick. They do their limited edition one about every month, the 100th T-Shirt was a special one, and today's has the Dead Bird logo because the original T-Shirt's design was taken from another T-Shirt. So there really aren't that many.
  • eric91489said 185 weeks ago

    hm. well not to be annoying about it, but i noticed eyeslikesugar's response to sapphirephoenix - and it inspired me to ask if anyone knows where i'd be able to find "unethical mind experiments on miniaturized animals" by opifan64 and "give hope. love. life. play" by layne?
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    eric91489 - teetrade.org is a good place to start looking for shirts you've missed out on. There's even a way you can put shirts you want up there, so if someone ever wants to get rid of theirs, they know you're looking for it. :)
  • eric91489said 185 weeks ago

    awesome. thanks a ton eyes
  • eric91489said 185 weeks ago

    ahahah or should i say "good looks, eyes" ;P
  • curb1510said 185 weeks ago

    Sooooooooo happy to see this. I might speak for more than a few internationals when I say, it's great to get a chance at the TeeFury logo.
    Not tired or hackneyed, Layne. Don't be so self-deprecating.
    You run a great business.
  • itch808said 185 weeks ago

    eh...not exactly what I expected
  • Andy47240said 185 weeks ago

    Layne, I e-mailed you a little while ago, but it looks like something or someone has hijacked the "Artist" page. It has a lot of artist names towards the bottom with no pics and if you hover them they link to questionable links.
  • LINK2DPASTsaid 185 weeks ago

    It's unfortunate
    that the dead bird must come out,
    although it looks nice.
  • SapphirePhoenixsaid 185 weeks ago

    "Dead Bird" = Purchased. It'll make for an interesting story if anyone decides to ask about it. Or it's possible that they'll think I'm emo for wearing a dead bird...

    Thanks, eyeslikesugar :). Unfortunately, I wear a Women's M (a perfect fit!) to L (keeping in mind the shrinkage). And I'll definitely look into Teetrade.org.
  • heuillemansaid 185 weeks ago

    awesome t-shirt
  • OpenIntrosaid 185 weeks ago

    thanks for all the nice comments regarding the Dead Bird Archive. Now you're making ME blush :)

    It's all done for the love of the Fury.
  • snarkygalsaid 185 weeks ago

    I, too, make frequent use of the Dead Bird blog but I noticed that you are missing the Aboriginal Storm shirt from 10/14 on it. I own that shirt and it is quite awesome.
  • Blanch1000said 185 weeks ago

    Need the Teefury birdy on a hoodie someday.

    (Dead or alive.)
  • kypsweisaid 185 weeks ago

    YES!!! Hoodie Furry! Maybe someday in the future.
  • cardinalgoldsteinsaid 185 weeks ago

    OK, I have to get this one. I don't know why, I just do.
  • necrophytesaid 185 weeks ago

    Less TeeFury themed shirts please. We all love the site, but we love cool and original tees more.
  • eyeslikesugarsaid 185 weeks ago

    necrophyte - this design IS cool and original, and that is the point of the dead bird
  • peppersagooddogsaid 185 weeks ago

    layne, you are gonna tell us how many sold right?

    *said as coyly as possible*
  • itsbethsaid 185 weeks ago

    I don't know why, but I love the little dead guy. My first Tee Fury tee! :D
  • biotwistsaid 185 weeks ago

    Just ordered the shirt. how could I not want this piece of teefury history?. If people don't like the design chill out, there was a good storey behind it and its not like they wont have 6 other shirts this week, how many original shirts does one need to buy a week?
  • igo2cairosaid 185 weeks ago

    Yep, I just ordered this as well, too cool to pass up!
  • Shmaptysaid 185 weeks ago

    Boo day light savings time! Instead of a new shirt being up at 9 my time, I have to wait 'til 10. I'm an old man, that's too late...

    ...though I'm pretty sure I bought this shirt at midnight last night.
  • OpenIntrosaid 185 weeks ago

    sorry about missing that one snarky. i got very behind and missed a few designs. I need to go back and update them. I will, I promise :)

    Time to pull out a PROCRASTINATION PURCHASE OF THE TEE!
  • Rhowdy17said 185 weeks ago

    *sniff, sniff*

    So sad to see it go.. I'll miss you little buddy!

  • OpenIntrosaid 185 weeks ago

    this is very sad :( goodbye dead bird!
