Owls are so awesome! If owls were people, they would be fans of the TeeFury Facebook page :) - Teevil

@Kyren: You weren't even CLOSE to first. Not to mention it's not possible anymore (thank you Teevil. Gargamel was so annoying). Maybe you guys could implement a word filter for any variation of "First."

Love the shirt. Thinking of buying it for my gf.

As much as I love owls, after seeing the design on flicker, and the DBH version, this one just seems too stripped down, devoid of detail. I'll have to take a pass tonite. But it is a beautiful design, just not for me tonite.

BlueHipposaid 146 weeks ago

Very awesome, perhaps a bit LOTR inspired? ;D The owl's head looks a bit small on his face though, but still looks good; I like his little pipe :3 He seems to become one with the tree, and looks quite content. Pretty cool design, some nice drawn textures you've got :D

"first" free is the way to be ;3

Kyrensaid 146 weeks ago

to BlueHippo ;

Tell us about this design:
The first reaction that came into my mind when I saw Gandalf the Grey, blowing a smoke of ship out from his pipe/mouth (in Fellowship of the Ring). so here it is a design inspired by that scene.

:D

Dig the owl (and the yellow. props to the yellow accents) and the tree and the smoke

Not diggin the smoke-ship. The line work just isn't jiving with the rest of the design.

Kinda wishin the owl was more prominent... LOVE owls!

People! Stop making these Smurfing awesome tees. I've gotten 2 tees within the last week, and another tee a while before that.

This one might be my favorite so far. It has a tree, an owl, a pirate ship, and a pipe. What more could you ask for? (throw in a cat and i'd go head over heels completely).

Great design, and interesting colors. Instant buy!

I love the ship but not the owl so much. The owl kind of wants to give me nightmares. If it were only the ship it would be a buy. Sorry. Not working today.

I shouldn't buy it because I'm poor, but I desperately want to because it's a Gandalf Owl.

Teefury, you've put me in quite the predicament.

I really like this design. I do wish the owl and the treebranch weren't so photo-realistic, though. Doesn't seem to go with the stylized smoke.

Nice, from a fellow countryman too. Really nice details, plus ... is the owl high on crack to imagine it's blowing a ship? And why is it smoking in the first place?

Really good details there. Thumbs up.

This is brilliant. Everything about it, I love.

Haha was playing a game and was like "Haven't checked TeeFury Today" Checked, and you got a purchase. I'm programming a pirate game in my Game Design class, and I thought this was a great shirt, plus I'll be just under a Pirate Swashbuckler Hall next year, seems appropriate ;) (Plus Comp Sci people are up late like owls, lol)
- Reply
DeRocksaid 146 weeks ago

This shirt is flat out amazing,
I found this site two weeks ago and this is the first shirt I've bought off of it. My only worry is that my school will have a problem with a smoking owl... but I'll try it and hope for the best

First thing I thought of when I saw it was LOTR, Gandalf=wise wise=owl => gandalf=owl

Wow Its a Ship

About the artist

xiaobaosg

Art curated by

jimiyo

Words from jimiyo: I've been following xiaobaosg for a long time long before I knew he was active in the online contest world. His work is beautifully rendered, almost too beautiful sometimes to be just on a shirt. Fortunately, this one's just right. I'm glad to he's in the apparel market for now, until he gets snagged up to higher illustration markets. Enjoy!

Tell us about this design:
The first reaction that came into my mind when I saw Gandalf the Grey, blowing a smoke of ship out from his pipe/mouth (in Fellowship of the Ring). so here it is a design inspired by that scene.

Tell us about yourself.

I'm a freelance illustrator and a kidult from Singapore. Believe in creating something out of nothing as an artist and was heavily influenced by Japan and Chinese culture. Check my blog if you are interested to know more about me. Haha

I've seen your blog and portfolio, your work is amazing. What other
projects besides apparel do you participate in? It seems like you do a
lot of print work?

Quite a few actually but here's 3 most important projects which i had involved in and had changed my life as a illustrator.

1) Chinese New Year Lightup events
Chinese New Year Events in Chinatown , Singapore whereby my illustration is actually projected on the building for 1 months.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/xbsg/2191099285/in/photostream/

2) Tiger Beer Translate your Modern Asia X IDN
I'm selected as one of 75 outstanding artists from across Asia-Pacific to join Tiger's Asian Kinetic Artists, This project was published in IDN Tiger Translate Gold and had held exhibition in a few countries and it still on going..

Yes , I been freelancing for shoes company , toy company , magazines , books (children or educational books) and websites on their print , poster or illustration. Actually , I only started to get involved in designing for apparel in 2007 after I saw Jimiyo winning design "Revelations". Jimmy's work had inspired me alot and had made me realised that I can do different things with my artworks , apparel is a good example.

What's your process of creation like?

Sketch on paper or on marcomedia flash , retraced and transfered to Photoshop or illustrator for finishing.
