and stop with all this nature or wierd design smurf, i just want a witty tee, or a funny tee, or a completely smurfin pointless tee, basically i want a fun tee, not a tee only an 8 year or frat boy would wear
my sound of music with the boombox tee just came in today, pls put up more shirts like that
@lysol92, then maybe you should visit other T-Shirt sites if you're looking for those types. I would think the majority of the TeeFury's audience prefers these types of shirts, I know I do. That's why I come here over a site such as bustedtees.
being a huge fan of all art and art on the body specifically (i have several tattoos and am on my way to becoming a rich and not famous jeweler i hope) can i just say i dig this. i figure if someone wants a witty, funny, or pointless tee they can go to the mall, i'm sure there's plenty there. i love that this is a forum for artists, starting out or veterans. I love that i can get tees that are completely unique for dirt cheap. artists, keep making your art. teefury, keep supporting the artists. after all, though we may be going into a recession/depression people will still pay $11 for a shirt that brings beauty, and thus, joy, into their days.
by the way, don't get me wrong i love the carousel horse and stuff like that, it's hilarious. but the thing with art and making it big is you can only have so much off color humor. you have to do the serious pieces too or you never develop in style, technique, or even as a human being. so, lets all make the world beautiful, shall we?
I have to agree with Lysol and Sabrage. I would have bought the Fish Tank or Merry-Go-Round Sick Pony in a SECOND. AURG! Would love, LOVE to have one of those on a shirt.
The animal drawing is beautiful, but not what I would wear on a T-Shirt.
icecube: "the majority of the TeeFury's audience prefers these types of shirts" really? based on what evidence? was there a poll I missed?
Congrats on the shirt mrdavenport - nice work. I am wondering though why so many animal-face tees lately. I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get the howling wolf in front of the full moon with the Olan Mills Wolf Montage behind it.
I think my favorite part about this is that the title is embedded in the lines and the fact that it's so appropriate to the image and fits so well and yet at the same time is just subtle enough.
i agree that there's way too many animal tees on these sites nowadays, but you gotta appreciate it when there's one that's sick as smurf for 11 bucks. congrats zack.
I wholeheartedly disagree with Lysol. If I wanted to look like I lived in my moms basement and wrote computer code all day, then I'd shop at WOOT for a witty or funny tee. But, I don't want to look like that so I shop HERE!!!
putling, I have no concrete evidence but I'm basing this assumption on the fact that TeeFury has offered the same/similar style of designs for a while now, and they seem to be received positively. I don't have any word to describe what type of shirts I mean, but it definitely doesn't seem to be what lysol92 is looking for.
Loving that carousel design. I'm not crazy one way or the other about the Lions, Tigers, and Bears design but it's well done, that's for sure. Thanks, Liner13, I didn't see that until you pointed it out. And jnetoka, that's exactly what I feel, too.
to everyone who is interested, the fish tank design and the carousel (called Sick of My Job) design have been sold to anticlothes.com so look out for them there! Thanks!
Very cool! I think I wouldn't want to wear it simply because I have big tits and this would pretty much scream "LOOK AT MY GIANT TITS also lovely animals".
And I sort of don't get why the tiger and the bear have beards.
It's also sort of unfortunate since it's coming soon after a couple other realistic animal tees, but I dig it on the brown.
@stablercake, I know I'm not the majority of TeeFury's audience, nor is my opinion the same as everyone else's. I actually dislike this design in particular, but I was talking about the style and type of design. I would believe that if you were to come back to TeeFury everyday, you would be looking for the styles TF usually offers. Since TF doesn't usually offer witty/humorous tee's, it doesn't make sense to come here looking for them.
@icecube - But I've always experienced such a nice variety from TeeFury that it's a surprise every evening when I visit. Obviously I can't like the design all the time, but it is nice to be exposed to different kinds of images, often to be persuaded to buy because it's new and interesting. I'm glad I haven't seen an overall theme with TeeFury and I hope they keep it that way.
I would hope that if you were to come back to TeeFury every day, you would have an open mind to the fact that anything could be on today's shirt and they do humorous tees pretty often, even though the image is usually more subtle.
I'm not discounting your opinion, I just hope TeeFury doesn't become known for only this sort of shirt, I hope it doesn't become known for any type of shirt.
@stablercake, well yes I agree but this wasn't the point of my first post at all. My point was that lysol92 should look elsewhere if he wants a humorous Tee, instead of insulting the design at hand and demanding a 'fun' Tee. And I don't they they do humorous tees that often, at least not what I believe lysol92 wants, judging from his post.
Also Jimiyo - Come on man, pick something other than animal tees. The last four (if you count this one) pieces that you've curated have been animal tees. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.
Not to be a smurf, but isn't the Fish Tank design on the right a bit of a rip off of the concept of Cameron McEwan's? (though, I do like Zack's version better)
http://www.anothersite.com/product/452/Fish_Tank
The being said... No one is immune to coincidence either, it's a clever idea and there's probably a few other implementations flying around in the tubes.

I'm getting a bit tired of all the animal shirts too. Don't get me wrong, I like them well enough, and don't mind them being mixed in with other varieties, but I wish we could get a little more variety soon. I, too, wish we could see more quirky/funny designs - like the tank shooting goldfish.
I for some reason really really don't like how I can't see the tiger's jaw! It's a fun design, I like all the detail and work put into it, but it somehow dosent fit too cohesively in my eyes. Just something about it looks odd!
And on the brown tee :c
Like your work though! Sorry for something not as praiseworthy too say.
All these animal tees just aren't my style... they remind me of the wilderness t's my parents used to buy me when we'd go to commercial campgrounds when I was a kid.
That being said... I would likely buy more than one of the unicorn shirt, I love it THAT much!!
Its playful, n very detailed though a little too condensed in that area of the chest to my liking. So what if there's many animal designs? Maybe artists just aren't submitting non-animal designs?
WHY did the girls' tee have to be on brown?!
My last buy was last week's Tiger shirt, and it was also on brown. I need variety, so buying another tiger (and lion and bear lol) shirt on brown isn't going to help my wardrobe... but I'll probably do it anyway xD
I adore how the design looks on the guy's black, especially since the eyes give the feeling of glowing in the dark (so brown just doesn't fit as well)
I find it really funny how so many of the comments on here say that tee fury should stop printing animal shirts but should definitely print the unicorn one ... hello, animal.
(I do get the difference, I just found that kinda funny)
by the way Zack, I've been seeing your stuff up on the forum here and I personally think this is your best piece to date. I think that if you did another one in this same style that wasn't animals you could please the other half too because the line work seems to please everyone, congrats once again.
I can appreciate the amount of work that went into this. Its obviously very detailed and took alot of time to finish. In that, its beautiful. With that said, the design just looks unfinished to me. And I've got to agree with what other people have said- I don't think I could bring myself to wear an animal shirt. Its just too similar to the shirts I wore in the 1990's. Not my cup of tea, but keep up the good work! You've obviously got talent!
Coming from shirt.woot, it's really nice to see that not every shirt people design are trying to be funny (which is what I think is what that site is "known for" now). That being said, I'm TOTALLY biased for design over debauchery, but it is what it is.
hey guys thanks for all the great feedback! @liner, thanks a lot man, thats quite a compliment, if you check my flickr i have a couple different line work pieces. Thanks to all, im glad you guys like the carousel shirt, ill make sure to post the link once its on anticlothes! Thanks
I'm pretty disheartened to see someone would prefer the sound of music tee over this one. Not that I'm buying this one, but the sound of music tee was abysmal.
I'm also disheartened by Jimiyo for denying one of my designs for not having a story when many of his curated works have displayed no story whatsoever. (Next time just tell me you don't like the artwork please Jimiyo instead of making up an excuse.) (Of course that is more disheartened for my own sake.)
Anyways, unlike Lysol, I am glad TeeFury isn't exactly like Woot and other sites. Thank you TeeFury
This is a pretty cool shirt and I love all the detail put into it, but I don 't think I'd buy it because of the brown print. :( I'd SO buy the carousel one though, that's hilarious LOL
In regards to putlings comment, I am laughing with you. No offense towards the artists that like this type of imagery. I remember the 80's and those shirts. Don't much feel like shopping at Natural Wonders LOL!
It just kind of baffles me how this imagery has become so popular now. The artists are amazing however! I don't want to sound like a hater.
Rock on there!
Not getting the shirt, cool but not my style. I absolutely love, love the unicorn picture and the fish canon one, I would buy two of each of those. I love the idea of merry-go-round horses getting sick and the other one makes me think of this hokey joke I heard once about two goldfish in a bowl and one saying something about Ill drive the tank and you man the gun :)Please, please make those two as shirts, Id bet you would sell a lot, I can account for my family buying five of each!
Words from jimiyo: One of the greatest things about Teefury, DBH, and other similar sites, is that they help young artists get a little taste of a possible future. Zack sent me a design a while back that didn't suit Teefury, then after persisting, he recently he sent me this design. The line work in this piece is fantastic. You're really going to have to pick one up and see it printed to really appreciate the complextiy. Get one!
Tell us about this design: This design is a part of a series I have been doing using line work to create the texture, light, and shadow of animals. It really is quite amazing how much detail simple lines can bring out in a piece. The idea was obviously inspired by The Wizard of Oz, and came to me after watching it for the millionth time with my girlfriend a couple weeks ago. That, and I got to see Wicked live in London this past summer, which was great :)
Tell us about yourself: I am 19 years old and am a freshman at NC State's College of Design majoring in graphic design. I spend most of my time either on the computer working on designs, in the studio working on projects, or asleep.
Are there any ongoing art projects/links you would like to promote?
In a duel to the death, Jean Luc Picard or Captain Kirk? Darth Vader.
You are on Death Row. What's your last supper? Bojangle's sweet tea, philly cheesesteak, curly fries, and baked beans. oh, and oysters on the half shell. (wow this is a nasty combo)
If being an artist was not an option, what would be your second choice
profession? one of those people who perform with whales and dolphins at Disney World. That, or being Billy Mayes' sidekick or something.
Who are your favorite artists? Banksy, Jesse LeDoux, Paul Rand, David Davenport (my dad), AJ Dimarucot, Jimmy Benedict, and Phillip Tseng to name a few.
Any shout outs?
Yeah! Thanks to Jimmy for the opportunity to be printed here. I love this website and visit everyday. I have gotten a ton of great feedback and comments on my work here and I have always loved this community. Also, I couldn't do what I do without the inspiration and push given to me by my family, Amy, or my friends. Love you guys for all you do.
