Happy New Year everybody! I like this and would have bought it if I had any money, but I am totally broke at the moment. Hope to see more from this artist in the future.

Not bad by any means, but for some reason, the bird on top reminds me of Otto from the Simpsons...

Happy 2009 to everyone! Teefurys really gonna take of this year, so best of luck to all the artists.

Anyways, cool tee. I like the touches of yellow on blue and gray, good color choices1

Quirky, strange, with a haunting atmosphere and a dark flavor...definitely a shirt one can spend time looking at. I really have to admire the originality in this and all the side art snippets. There's a lot of fresh character and style~ I could go on for a while, but...long story short, super work.

A brilliant start to the new year!

I need a shirt with the little red riding hood print on the left on it. Seriously. I need one. Is it available anywhere?

Great shirt! I would be very happy to see more from this artist.

Hairy, you can get that shirt at A Better Tomorrow: http://www.a-better-tomorrow.com/customer/show_product/2624-rotkaeppchen-reloaded-shirt-contest-winner-september-2008

Pretty cool. Looks like this crow samurai I drew a while ago (minus the moose of course, what samurai rides a moose... hmm...).

Although it is good, I don't think this piece fits that well with a shirt, but I would like to see some of you other art featured later on.

Awesome! I'd buy one now if I weren't already waiting for the first two shirts I have ordered from this site (to make sure the size is right, etc).

Pretty Sick. It's like Otto and Slash had a crow baby. I want me some Little Red Riding Hood too. Print it up!

Jestiksaid 82 weeks ago

Bought. It is mine!

I am desperately LOVING this shirt! I love the blue-on-blue, the creepy mood it sets, and the story behind the Nachtkrab. My mom's side of the family is German, so it fits.

On a side note, I think the pistol-packin' Red Riding Hood fending off the wolves is genius. I would buy that shirt in a heartbeat! Is it going up anywhere???

For some reason this reminds me of Axl of guns and roses... but anywayz, happy new year fellow furies! :D

riffster, do you mean Slash? With the overflowing curls from underneath the top hat hanging over the eyes?

"Jestik, you just hit that nail square on the head! ;)"

ha, thanks, Meta. I would say there might be some similarities between Slash and the Nachtkrab, lol...

If only I knew how to put a picture or a link into the comment....anyone??

Yes, but it's on a German site and the only available sizes are girls S and M. ;) I would totally buy it for myself and my daughter otherwise. ;P

On topic: this one is definitely interesting. :)

For the love of God, you must sell the Red Riding Hood shirt. Since it's on an international website (and out of stock in most sizes), TeeFury could be the exclusive US one-day retailer of this shirt! No? Well, it was worth a shot.
- Reply
Fat Possomsaid 82 weeks ago

Yup. I can't read German so I guess Tee Fury is just going to have to print Red for us.

Solarisaid 82 weeks ago

This is very well done. None of the shirts have appealed to me lately, but this one's great. I would also buy the Red Riding Hood design in a New York Minute. ;)

It's entirely possible ABT might reprint that Riding Hood shirt, guys, so keep tabs on it. And maybe learn some basic German to help order it when it is reprinted ;)

Nachtkrab

About the artist

MetaMephisto

Art curated by

A word from the curator:
To me, shirts like this are what TeeFury is all about- a great design by a great artist that brings something totally new to the table. You don't have to be up on your German fables to enjoy this spooky, atmospheric scene, and the Crow is a great character right down to his billowing, feathery mane. This appeals to that human instinct that there's always something lurking in a dark forest, just out of sight.

Tell us the background of this design.
Nachtkrab means something like "Raven/Crow of the night"...it's a very old German story which the grandparents tell the little grandchildren if they do not want to go to bed so early. So the grandparents or the parents told them about this Crow kidnapping all the little children who are not asleep when it gets dark outside. Afraid of this story and the spooky Crow every child wants to fall asleep immediately ;)

A very macabre story which I always wanted to illustrate. I imagined the Nachtkrab riding on something like a horse when he's to lazy to fly all the way from the dark forests into the villages...

What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
That I’m so happy to have my first TeeFury tee!

What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
I’ve got nothing to hide...except my user passwords.

Name a few of your favorite things.
Tees, illustrations, designer toys, character designs, graphic novels, genies, ghosts, demons, apples, strawberries, chocolate, cookies, weekends, irony and metaphors.

What are your feelings on astrology?
I have no special feelings on astrology. But I like the symbols of the zodiac and sometimes how their descriptions matches perfectly with the character of some people.

What is your favorite pet?
Cats and Axolotls...but I would never dare to put them together in one room because cats love fishing...

Loch Ness monster vs. giant squid: who would win the battle?
I think the giant squid would win this battle because it has more arms to fight with. I'm sorry, Nessie!

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
I don’t exactly have one favourite shirt. I've bought too many awesome shirts in the last months.

Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
I like all of these mediums.

Games: I’m still a big fan of Super Mario World for SNES and the Mega Drive/Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Books: The Physicists by Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

Films: One of my favourite films is Lost Highway directed by David Lynch and I love Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

What inspires your work?
Nearly everything...music, films, books, fairy-tales, ghost-stories, fears, everyday life, human behaviour, art in general, feelings, nature, nonsense, malice, kitsch and gloom.

Any shout outs?
Thank you Michelle and TeeFury for this opportunity! :)
