peppersagooddogsaid 174 weeks ago

lysol... could you link some of these designs that make this such an over used theme?
cause you see "overused" could be used with the name jimiyo only if you ARE talking about birds.
this doesnt remind me of the classic op designs, and if it wasnt on white i would own the hell out of it.
seeing as how i grew up on the damn california beaches, i would say you fail at being a troll.
good day sir.

also: oil monster is one of my favs too lol

but revelations (and always a jimi shirt actually) won me a couple hundred bux the other night so its my fav this week.

if you go to casinos people, always wear a jimiyo.
death on a pale unicorn has never failed to bring me luck either.

How exactly did you do this? Are parts of it mirrored? It's quite nice.

jimiyosaid 174 weeks ago

Thanks Pepper. :D

Alex: It's all hand drawn then adjusted in photoshop. Most of it's mirrored. I am hoping they will print it as large as they can, so that it can look more like

Then it would be much more impressive, almost quicksilver-y if I would have thrown in a little more splattery/decorative design fill

Very pretty Jimi. Growing up, and living here in Los Angeles for 50 years, I've seen just about every surf tee under the sun, and this is quite different as a matter of fact. So go crawl back under your rock Lysol92.

Much like thejakeyl88, I too am starting to easily recognize your work Jimiyo. It is all very distinct and unique work you do and I'm impressed every time you post up a new shirt. Keep up the great work, you're one of my favorite artists on this site. (Stop making me buy so many damn shirts!)

Da-yem!
Wow, jimiyo, that is a frakkin' sweet shirt! Is that the same "wave" shirt that I had seen a month or so ago? For some reason this looks familiar. It could just be because fate has told me we will be together, that we've always been together. (um, the shirt, not you, jimiyo....)

I like this and I like that you tried something different jimiyo but if I wanted a quicksilver-esque tee I'd go to quicksilver.Why so much hate for white?

I think the main problem is that people are paying too much attention to the "first" posters, not that there are "first" posters. It's just like trolls. You give them attention and respond to their posts, then they win.

I love this! My entire life I have lived 5 minutes from the beach. Now I wish it wasn't 40 degrees here in NC. Too cold right now.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of this shirt. As someone said above, it's too quicksilver-esque for my tastes.

Word. Thanks for the support everyone!

I had a feeling white wouldn't fair well, but I went with it anyways cause when you are on the hot sunny beach, who wants to wear black? :D

I'll bring it harder the next time. I dislike not doing above average.

klarescsaid 174 weeks ago

Why is white a poor color choice? Honestly... Better then some of the unfortunate color choices I've often seen on DBH. How many tan'ish / cammel colored tshirts does one need?

If you don't like white maybe the problem is you, not the shirt.

Jimiyo, nice shirt, keep up the good work.

Tell us the about this design.

I made this specifically for the Teefury crew because surfing is something they apparently like to do. Layne and Anik must have some hot bods. Whoooo! So I BETTER sell at least two.

Polynesian style motifs, a sweet barrel, in the form of a turtle.

What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?

Please vote for Angry Panda in Threadless Bestees $20,000 Contest!

I send out a newsletter on occasion about my attempt at figuring how to maintain a livelihood by being an artist. You can sign up for it here, sometimes I give out free shirts to random subscribers.

Also, I maintain a frequently updated blog featuring my new artwork, and useless drivel.

What do you absolutely not want them to find out?

Al Pacino is actually the bad cop. Sorry to ruin that movie for you.

Name a few of your favorite things.

Family Guy, Venture Brothers, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Peggle, boobs, Bookworm, Cool Hand Luke, badonkadonks, movie references, Will Smith, and Keanu Reeves.

What are your feelings on motorcycles?

While out in Utah, I got to ride a junky Honda 100cc dirt bike. Literally, those were some of the best times of my life, riding up the Grand Escalante Staircase canyon roads, and doing crappy bunny hops over mounds of sand and gravel while the ranch owners were gone for their vacation. Once I accidentally started the bike on top of a short set of stairs, and I had it gassed all the way cause it had a shoddy carburator... I wheelied and jumped at least three steps, and landed propah like in plain view of many young, attractive international travelers. I'm sure they went home to England, France, Germany, etc and was like... Yeah, we saw very boss attractive boy at ranch. He jumped three steps on a motorbike. I wanted to sex him, but he just rode off into sunset to feed horses. ---sigh---

Killer bees vs. army ants: who would win the battle?

Killah Bees ain't nothing to .... with.

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.

Either Missmonster's Oil Monster or EverybodyLoveIrine's Metal Plated Horn.

What inspires your work?

All the beauty in the world inspires me. Sometimes I sit in awe of everything, and weep.

Naw man, dem is just jokes, my narcissistic ego needs constant assurance.

Any shout outs?

Here are some cool people: Shana, GM, Kat, Ockham's Razor, Heartcore

Thanks for reading!
