Is it just me, or is there a sudden increase in, well, un-constructive criticism?
I think, from a design point of view, this is good. It's up to each person whether they want to wear it of course... but you can't say it's "lame". Would be a great kids shirt too.
yeah, alex- not sure but the "lame" comments are just insipid. After 60+ positives, somone said my last design "sucked like high school art". This of course came from a goon with a skull-with-wings avatar; I assume the irony was lost on him.
I like this caterpillar. It reminds me a bit of the "steamboat willie" style that launched the lame and unprofitable "mickey mouse" franchise.
I like your style, WanderingBert. This particular shirt isn't for me, but I just wore "Finding Technicolor" a few days ago, and everyone loved it! :) Keep up the good work!
Finding Technicolor is my favorite shirt. Yet I somehow managed to get a bleach spot on it when I don't even have any bleach in this house and have NEVER had bleach spots in my clothes before. :-/
first of all, i agree with alex. I find this website amazingly better than woot for many reasons, but one of the main ones is that all the designs seem to be generally well-received, or, if someone doesn't like the shirt given, constructive criticism is given.
I hope that we can all keep in mind that this website is unique in its family-esk following.
that being said, i have been a big fan of wanderingbert and find his style amazing.
Not my thing, but I know I skew older than most on here. Wish I could give constructive criticism but it's 1 am and I must get myself and the Zimmerframe to bed.
Must say that Aegis posted a pretty excellent response to what we mostly agree was a wasteful use of the site by Cuzzi. I loves me some good writin'.
All the same I love this piece sitting to the right of my post, is it available as a print on a shirt.
Nice show of range Wotto!
OK, I'm from your N. American equivalent, Canada. Always mistaken for American, no one knows anything about the culture except hockey, blah, blah, blah.
I've always thought that you guys are to Australians, what we are to Americans. So I know I'm biased, but every Kiwi I hear about, read, watch, whose art I look at, etc. is blowing me away lately every Kiwi is blowing me away. What is in the water there?
NO, not some roundabout way to say the same about my country...wouldn't have the audacity nor is it deserving.
Honestly, I love it! My only problem is the man in front, it just reads a little sloppy for whatever reason. Just his form, I guess. I think it might be better with out him...but that's just me :) I LOooooovvvee this design though. It makes me happy. :)
The colors look great together, just kinda wish it had a deeper meaning. Something about like the main stream of music completely ignoring indie artist.
Or how small things arnt any less important, and if a catapiller was bigger than humans, we probably wouldn't kill it as we do stepping on small ones as we stroll on the side walk.
But it's all what you thought of as creating this artwork. Anyways, sorry for that, I'm now gonna go buy one. Haha.
Why do the t-shirts look pasted onto the 2 models today? Anyway the design's really cute. It makes me smile and kinda reminds me of some classic illustrations.
I just wanted to log in and tell you I think this shirt rocks! I'm a bigger dude, and colors like Turquoise end up looking a little.... well odd on me, but I think the design is terrifingly amazing. I really want to buy this, but I don't know who I'd give it to!
Holy smurf I just had a look at Wandering Bert's portfolio site! I've seen & loved a lot of these designs for ages & had know idea They were all done by the same evil genius!
This is freaking sweet adding another heavy hitter to Team Tee Fury. An instant classic! :)
I remember seeing this somewhere! I love it, it's friggin great. Great illustration. I like how large it's printed, too. I've bought so many tees.... I'll have to beg my sister for an early christmas gift.
I'm a big WanderingBert fan. Another one of his fab shirts to add to my collection.
I do have to say though, that I'm still a sad sparrow that I missed out on Finding Technicolour when I was in Africa. Hopefully someone someday will take pity on this weeping nomad girl and trade her for it. *high hopes*
Enough of my self-pity, it's great to see this here!
I liked it when I checked teefury out first thing this morning, and I still like it tonight. People shouldn't write something like this off at first glance just 'cause it looks kiddy - love the little running man. I'd be tempted if I hadn't bought a turquoise tee just yesterday! Nice one WanderingBert!
Love the work, and hopefully people will understand what their comments can do to someone who submitted the work, if its lame, be constructive of what you like or don't but bashing someone won't help...
Love it, I might buy, but trying to figure who to send it to for xmas! good work!
After 60+ positives, someone said my last design "sucked like high school art". This of course came from a goon with a skull-with-wings avatar; I assume the irony was lost on him.
The skull with wings is from a illustration by Mike Giant.. who can actually draw. Ironic? Oh do tell. Ha!
Wandering Bert has a style all of his own. He has had success in the T-shirt world on many occasions. One of his designs at woot! (that technicolor one) still remains one of my favourites. On first inspection this shirt may seem too childish. Take another look people this centipede is one sinister mother. I love the subtle darkess in this piece, its something I strive for in my own work. Wandering Bert, welcome to the jungle....
Where do you find inspiration? This is a hard one- anywhere, everywhere, nowhere. Idea wise, I think you can train your mind to be inspired by anything, which is what I’ve tried to do. The key, I think is just to look at and experience lots of different stuff. Style wise I do similar- I look at all sorts of art and draw inspiration from a variety of styles to work for whatever I’m doing at the time. Age/Sex/Location 24 Male Hamilton, New Zealand How long have you been an artist? What kind of artists are you? I’ve always been making art. I can’t remember a time before I was making art. I guess I’d definitely be termed a ‘Digital Artist’ but I try to use traditional mediums to help create my final pieces. I can use pencil and pen well, but I’ve never been much for painting or anything like that. Instead, I like to compose things like scanned charcoal smudges or paint splatters and work with them on the computer. I also use take a lot of photos which I use for textures in my work. Blonde or Brunette? Brunette Paper or plastic? Paper- All the better to draw on my dear. XBOX, Playstation or WII? Xbox – mostly because it’s the only one I’ve ever owned. What do you love more than anything in the world? God, Family, My Girlfriend, Spaghetti Bolognese, Samurai Jack. What do you hate more than anything in the world? Bordom. I have a fear of it. Most overused word in the English Language? Like Most annoying celebrity and why? Paris Hilton. She’s famous because of her daddy, she’s used her fame to show how stupid she can be, and she’s only got 1 pose. Favorite band and why? I don’t really have a fav, I change far too often. Lately, I’ve been listening to some old Blindside, and a band called Secret And Whisper. I like me anything rock.
