    *sigh* i agree with snarkygal and undertow976. i was especially disappoint with the "tell us a little about this design".

    i was pretty content the last few days thinking the bad reviews had been taken into consideration. but once again, i'm disappointed.. this site did start off so well...

    Nice design :) Not really sure how it's "ignorant." I'm not into humor shirts myself, but I think people are being atypically harsh on this one. Lighten up, people! There will always be another design tomorrow...

    The animal tee on the sidebar is A++ awesome.

    DCAYsaid 81 weeks ago

    Come on people, lighten a little... Tis just a joke and nothing more, and of course not everyone's cup of tea. Don't hate on this site for allowing artists to make their work available to the masses... at least those enjoy stupid humor.

    Part of the beauty of TeeFury is the variety- sorry some folks aren't digging this one, but there's always tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that. ;)

    Wax Dollsaid 81 weeks ago

    His reason behind the design makes sense. I don't think it's ignorant in any way. The artist has his own way of expressing his art, so cut him some slack and give constructive criticism even if you don't like it.

    Heroin's right. Love the idea, but the art's kinda, er, "inconsistent," in a sense.
  • image

    hjdtttsaid 81 weeks ago

    To us, the father of our country. To the British, he was a rebel, even an A-hole. If he lived in the 21st century, might he not be toting a semiautomatic?

    OK, it's a little fast and loose with the reinterpretation of history, but the artist has that vision and the right to that vision. If Washington and Lincoln are sacrosanct to you, buy some other T. Personally this reminds me of Patty Hearst in the Symbionese Liberation Army.
  • image zipper

    MJsaid 81 weeks ago

    Personally, I saw the gun as a statement on the cutthroat approach many in this country have to capitalism, not a statement on George Washington so much as on money itself. So I think the design is fairly open to interpretation.
  • image

    hjdtttsaid 81 weeks ago

    As for legality, totally legal. It is parody and covered by the first amendment. The only problem would be if this were printed on paper in a way that came too close to looking like a real dollar bill.

    Honestly i don't see the point of everyone's negative comments.
    his art was good enough to get on to the site, so if you're going to complain, then you should show what work you have instead of calling it "horrible" and "a waste of pixels". I personally didn't like many shirts for a while up until this one, and from my point of view there are many that are a lot more pointless/stupid than this one.

    but yeah. i like the art. also the stuff on the sidebar :)

    lincubus411said 81 weeks ago

    I gotta say this is the first shirt I've seen that I really don't like. I think it could have been executed in a more clever manner. And aesthetically, it doesn't really say anything either.

    Is the angst because it's GW with a gun? Before he was President George Washington, he was a General and long before that he started out as a Lieutenant Colonel, fighting in the French and Indian War. George was no stranger to the rifle.

  • image

    stablercakesaid 81 weeks ago

    Wow. I can't believe the negative comments about this. I mean, I thought it's not the most hilarious thing that will ever happen, but it's funny in that "look at two things that don't really go together" sort of way, like the way "basketball taco" is funny.

    Sorry it's not a realistic rendering of some deer head saying "breathe" or a re-hash of a Mark Ryden doll-girl or a closeup of a hipster girl's eye for you kids who thrive off your lack of a sense of humor and want to be OH SO DEEP.

    It's okay to laugh at silly things.

    Fat Possomsaid 81 weeks ago

    FIRST! awww KHAAAAAAAN....

    Hmmm. Artists should be free to express their art in any way, so long as it's not endangering anyone. Whether you're a good ole' boy, America hater, Creationist, Athiest, Anarchist, Marxist, Naturist, whatever!

    Good on you for doing what art is supposed to do. Create conversation.

    Personally speaking, it is a touchy subject putting GW in a negative light, but whatev. I actually would have liked to see more detail in it by making it look a bit MORE like money. There's so many filigree details in money that could have made this sick!

    Ok, so take this shirt & remove everything in white (the design). Then put a black side shot of an M16 with a black teefury bird sitting on the barrel and I would've bought this shirt. Meh.

  • image

    hardluckartsaid 81 weeks ago

    not my favorite design. the inconsistency of styles in the design are jarring and make it look slapped together rather hastily. if it weren't so, i'd say it was a decent shirt.

    auryonsaid 81 weeks ago

    Totally silly and kind of highly amusing in an economic sense. I like - won't buy it, but...I can see why one would.

    Also - dudes and dudettes: ease up folks. It's just a shirt, not a political movement. Shirts are supposed to be silly if they're silly, and serious if they're serious. TeeFury kind of brings that to light - so let's just laugh at it, like we're supposed to and move on.

    (I'd also agree on the idea that more detail and 'dollar-like' filigree would've been sweeeet. Other than that, nothing new to add.)

    Oh my! I love waking up to some controversy. I knew when I decided to roll with this it would get some heat. I think it's good that this site has the occasional 'surprise' up it's sleeve. Wouldn't life be boring if all teefury tees were very similar?
  • image

    Sir Euansaid 81 weeks ago

    I quite like the design but It seems very rushed. I mean the fact that the head, hands+gun and background are all rendered in varying styles and levels of detail kinda ruins the image for me, if it was consistently rendered or drawn like the face then it would be much cooler.

    Still it is a fun design, just maybe set for print a little prematurely?

    Just because some of you don't like the shirts in the past few days doesn't mean Teefury is ruined. People have different tastes, get over it.

    I think the artist should be glad to have stirred so many comments. And to the people being extremely harsh, did the artist personally do something to you? Relax, how much of your artwork is on a t-shirt? I wouldn't buy it, but I do think its pretty cool and has some depth to it as well.

    moral savvysaid 81 weeks ago

    Its a clever idea, but it leaves the eye wanting a little more detail, I think just because we know it is supposed to be a dollar bill but currency has so much more detail than this and the fact that some of it is very finely wrought while the rest of it is not - it feels.. inconsistent?

    Thanks again everyone, even those with absurdly mean comments that take offense to this... thank you so much!

    And to those who think the clash of styles and rough edges take away from this, It wasn't hastily done... it's basically how I imagined the image in my head when the idea arrived. I tried adding in extra $ flourishes and stuff of that nature, but it all took away from the main image IMO. So love it or leave it!
  • image

    drodinsaid 81 weeks ago

    It amazes me how this site if filled with stupid, pointless shirts, yet so many people act as if they are offended because this one doesn't "say anything". The vast majority of the shirts on this site don't say anything, but I bet if we put a crappy indie-looking design on this one you would all love it.

    "completely disrespectful! this country is going through tough times and we absolutely need to start respecting our forefathers as well as our new leaders. no wonder the rest of the world hates the u.s."

    I'm not sure if you knew this, but GW was as general. You really think he would be offended by a portrait of him holding a gun? Ignorant people never cease to amaze me.

    Storminksaid 81 weeks ago

    I don't even know what to say to this... TeeFury has shocked me. (not in a good way) I thought they had more class. Can you say "picture+cutout+stroke = shirt?" I think not... At least have nice execution for a concept if you want it to be taken seriously.

    Its really too bad too since the artists other work is perfectly decent... This makes me lose so much faith in TeeFury.

    I have no problem with the idea behind the design, but I hate seeing shirts on TeeFury that make it look like a dumping ground for unfinished work.

    The title gets me the most though. I just like saying it.

    Great work though, wish I had enough to grab one!
  • image

    Olechkasaid 81 weeks ago

    I like the simplicity of this piece.

    TeeFury is doing a great job at selecting diverse works. I like not knowing what will be up next, and seeing so many different styles each week. I like knowing that I can submit ANYTHING to TeeFury, and that there is some chance that something will be picked, unlike at Threadless or Woot, where I never submit works because almost all of their stuff is so similar.

    To the complainers: you're not going to like every shirt here, but you need to realize that there are plenty of people who may like something you don't, so instead of criticizing TeeFury's selection, just wait until the next shirt comes up. If you read through the comments on today's tee, it is clear that there are plenty of people who love it and are willing to make a purchase.

    Sorry killkillkill, the site itself was my 10th grade project a long while ago and I have never updated it since. (But when I get away from all the work I have I'll make you a new one.) I quite liked your site in your bio as well, oh wait, no.

    eludingsunsaid 81 weeks ago

    DCAY, as an artist it's about time you learn how to take constructive criticism. Having you work critiqued is as important as the process of making a design. Also, if you are going to be a professional and try to market a shirt out to anyone you should be an adult about it. The fact of the matter is you weren't a professional; the shirt does look unfinished, the about the design ended with an "I guess....", and to top you were being very childish with your rude comments to someday potential clients. You should never tell anyone who might someday buy from you to "eat a CaptainKirk", even with some sort of smiley face afterwords, it doesn't make it cute or funny. It's very unprofessional, and I think you should reconsider parts of your designs and attitude before submitting anything else to TeeFury.
  • image

    Dauthrasaid 81 weeks ago

    a very good point Stromink. but people don't have to be nasty about it. however, i do realize that there's always going to be disagreements.
  • image

    DCAYsaid 81 weeks ago

    eludingsun and others: I do apologize for the rude and rather childish remarks I made earlier. My reasoning for doing so is not so much that Stormink was cutting my work down, but he had many disrespectful things to say about the Teefury site itself.

    I want to assure you that I am a professional and understand and fully accept constructive crits. But, when a person continues to attack my work multiple times, in a non-constructive manner (Stormlink:"I take pride in being very vocal when I think a design isn't worth anything") it's hard not to get personal.

    This tee sold well, so there were plenty of people the enjoyed the concept and execution enough and wished to own a piece of my art... and for that I can not thank them enough. I thank everyone who had constructive criticism as well, and even those who brought in outside views and opinions to make this such a controversial tee for this site.
  • image

    birdgirlsaid 81 weeks ago

    I don't think the design looks unfinished because it lacks detail. It's very easy to overwork an image, and certainly a lot of popular shirts on this site are very detailed, which suits them. In this design's case, however, more detail would distract from the point of the image itself. In the end, it's up to the artist himself or herself to decide which way to present an idea. It takes as much skill (and often more) to present a simple design as a complex one, and I think it's all too easy to decide something is not well-executed because it doesn't fit one's personal aesthetic.

    I'm not sure exactly where I stand on the execution of this one. It does seem a little top heavy to me, but maybe I'm just expecting to see the words "In God We Trust" at the bottom of the image. Which would, of course, offend people all the more. LOL Maybe a fine white line at the bottom of the design, so George doesn't seem to be floating so much?
