I love the design, but I really think the print should have been bigger, so the detail can be seen better.

very nice! i disagree with KurtMcAllister. I think that the size is perfect. Very good job! Chaotic but I can really tell what is going on individually within the 2 cars.

I agree with mcallister. The tiny square is reminiscent of an iron on. but i love this style. too much clip art style on here anyways.

I'd aggree with KurtMcAllister about the cool details a little too small to be appreciated. Could be much bigger.

Impressive details indeed.

only in the way that you can say all skull designs are reminiscent of each other Kanav

I like the detail in this shirt a lot, but agree that the boxiness of the design makes it look a little iron on.
I love the image of the robot and red monster a lot.

Those who said "iron on" I hate you. I was really digging this until then. It is great, but, now that it is pointed out to me, it is a little too boxy for a T.

Why is everyone hating on iron-ons? Iron-ons are a great american pastime.

Woah, woah there, Dun. Easy on the language. Just to be fair, why don't some of us review some of the shirts you've made.

Oh wait, you haven't made any.

Not really my cup of tea to wear on a shirt, but I definitely love the style. In looking at it I can almost see it as a story being narrated by a British man while jazz plays in the background leading upto the crash which would then be portratyed by crashing symbols and trumpets.

I would rock it as a print on my wall (Is that possible? if so - email me please!)

I like the simple color pallete.

You can blame me for the size: I requested it be smaller. Small graphics on teeshirts create a larger graphical frame of emptiness around the image, bringing the eyes into the graphic more. I think giant graphics on tees look silly and overdone.

respect artistic vision- and the idea of it being cool wall art is true. Buy it and frame it?

The designs on the side are amazing.

TragicallyHipsaid 80 weeks ago

I like the design a lot, but something about it makes it a little off. I don't know, but the drawing totally rocks. I would love it as a poster, or something, but not a shirt.

And in response to the comment above, it is definitely not like the 'ctrl+z' threadless shirt (which I have ^^), a car crash, yes, but totally different feel and idea.

Haha.. ^^^^^^^ Agreed!
Though a nice sacrifice in the name of art and expression.

Oh...yes! I wasn't tossing hate at the design. It is pretty good. I do like the colors and the sketch within.

But the metal...the poor poor cast iron...

Interesting design. It reminds me of that "clip art" style.

Car Crash

About the artist

Joe Alterio

Art curated by

A word from the curator:
Beneath each car's slick exterior there lies a complicated mass of metal, pipes and wiring. In the moment of the crash all of this is exposed, with the visual insanity mirroring the chaos of the event.

Tell us the background of this design.
My buddy, the infinitely talented Steve Lohse, needed a design for one of his first plays. This is a design using some elements from the poster.

What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
I'm probably the most talented artist they've ever seen.

What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
I'm probably not the most talented artist they've ever seen.

Name a few of your favorite things.
Old pulp novel art, Will Eisner, Sailor Jerry tattoo flash, Herge, hand-made birthday cards, 19th century Japanese woodblock cuts, Czech animation, old mystery radio broacasts, classic Silly Symphonies, taxidermy, the lithographic printing process, Los Bros. Hernandez, Louis Armstrong Hot Fives and Sevens, Vargas pinups, 1940's film noir,Thimble Theater, Bob Wills, Soviet propaganda posters, Robert Frank, and the SX-70 Polaroid camera.

What are your feelings on motorcycles?
I've owned a 1970 Honda 350 for a while, and before that a '73 Vespa, which is kind of like a motorcycle. I love motorcycles, but they're a huge time and money commitment, something I don't always relish.

Do you prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry?
Chocolate, all the way. Vanilla is for chumps.

Killer bees vs. army ants: who would win the battle?
Bees, clearly. They can fly! Ants can just, I don't know, swarm into a big lump, if they get lucky. How high can that get, 2 feet, maybe 3? Fugeddaboutit.

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
My favorite shirt is any shirt hand silkscreened by a friend. I have a bunch, they're each a unique piece of art, and they're the best gift in the world.

Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
Toss up between reading and movie watching. I think a 'favorite' is a false choice, it totally depends on my mood. My most recent read/watched is The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem, and Escape from New York by Carpenter. I watch movies constantly while I work, but rarely look at the screen. As a result, I know the dialogue and sound effects like the back of my hand, but am constantly surprised by the visuals when I see them.

What inspires your work?
Good honest art, anything that pierces the mask. The minute pretension falls away, I'm interested, whatever the medium.

Any shout outs?
My wife, Molly, who constantly reminds me why I work on my art, every day.
