I don't even know what to say about this. There's not much to it, but it really tells a story. And the expression on that owl's face is hilarious. Design = awesome.
lately i love the designs, but hate the colors. this one is especially fantastic but i just can't get into the color combo. i wish it was just black and white.
yay! I'm very delighted to see this printed. I'm a huge sucker for owls and Mr. Owl is just too awesome to resist. I promised myself I would stop being so self-indulgent, but I really need to snag one of these.
excellent design + delicious color combo = must have!
This freaking rocks. I love this, Rob! I was thinking I have too many Navy shirts, but I just can NOT pass this up. Just a great design. I've looked in my house, but I cannot find the owl.
I don't know if this is just a chat for the artist and the fans of the shirts or if the Tee-fury gods even look at this page. Regardless, if your the artist the more shirts that sell the more money you make. The larger you market pool the more shirts you will sell. Let me share a little insight. KIDS LOVE OWLS!!!!!!! and parents dump way to much money in to keeping there kids happy and cute. Can you say CASH COW! I'm going to have to buy this shirt in a mens small, way to big for my 4 year old and he is going to be very sad that he only gets to wear it as a night shirt. Now if you made it in kid sizes then I would buy 2 because kids grow fast, and that way he would have one to wear now and one to wear when he out grows the first. Did I mention that KIDS LOVE OWLS!!!!
I started to say this yesterday and changed my mind--but since someone brought it up again today:
TeeFury, please DO NOT start offering kid's sizes. Once that happens, parents start bitching about the design being too racy or otherwise questionable for a child to wear. This has already happened at other sites and quality of design starts to decline.
Sweet shirt, congrats on the print. But I have to make a correction... pterodactyl, not terradactyl. Sorry, its the wanna-be english major comming out.
Yes and some partents like to teach there kids about art and that it comes in many different forms. Inculing clothing and it is not fare to punish all kids buy not letting them wear beautiful and artistic cloth just because a few parents are close minded. And I say let them smurf. Just because someone complains about what you are it doesn't mean you have to change.(yes I know I'm complaining) The quality doesn't decile because people are bitching it's because more parents are looking at the sight a voting for crappy shirts. No voting here. Hence the same people will be making the choice on what to print. And tee-fury if they smurf tell them not to buy it.
Do kids really love owls? I don't remember owls being that popular when I was growing up, and my sister's generation doesn't seem to love them that much.
yes they do. Take a look at little girl clothes, tons of owls. But it is very difficult to find Owls for boys. Which is why I bought it regardless of the size. The artist on this sight are great!!!!
I'm sure I'm not the only frustrated parent looking at this sight so here is an other idea. Buy the shirt if you can't cut it down to fit your kid sew up the holes and make it a pillow. That way the kids can enjoy the art.
given that the last site which began offering kid prints for all their designs quickly became Discount Anime Warehouse and now has a layout that looks like a blind toddler created it, I have to agree that TF does not need kids sizes. Ever. Ever ever ever. Or ever.
So, is Mr. Owl an actual character somewhere whose adventures I could further enjoy? Because that owl is trouble and this seems like it should be an illustration from a book that could be the greatest children's book that's not written/illustrated by Tomi Ungerer. Hey, is he still alive? Could you get him to design a shirt?
Noooooooo! Just got home & was filling my order info in with less than a minute left. Was one last click from finishing & got the "too late "sign. Major bummer :(
A word from wotto: Rob Gould is awesome. That is all. This shirt is legendary. Buy it.
Tell us all about Mr Owl. Mr. Owl reminds me of Ceiling Cat, because he's always there, watching. Yet sometimes he get's up to mischief and roams through the house at the darkest hours of the night, usually in search of food. I believe in this moment he was caught in the act, red handed and startled, he's completely frozen and waiting for your next move.
Where does a design like this begin? The general idea pops in my head and I try to get it down with a quick pencil sketch. It then goes right into Photoshop. I may finalize my work in Photoshop or I might jump over Illustrator, it just depends on the look I want for the final image.
What is your favourite design package and why? My pencil and sketch book package because they are a fundamental part of my process and go everywhere with me.
Your house is on fire! Not really, but if it was what single item would you save (presuming your family and pets are all safe and sound)? Damn, that's a tough question but it'll probably be my external HD where I back up all my work. But I have two hands, so in the other I'd grad my record bag, sorry, I cheated.
Who is the best hero ever? Laser Cat.
What was the last CD/download you got? Glass Candy.
Favourite dinosaur? Terradactyl.
Favourite meal? Blue Cheese Hamburger and fries.
Who would you most like to see wearing your tee? William Shatner.
What was the last tee you bought? RED by Kneil Melicano (Roadkill3d).
Which website inspires you above all others? Google Image Search with a completely random word.
