    @ kxsoccer31:

    See, Teevil said "9!" Like, it was being sarcastic towards the idiots that say "First." Get it?

    Great art ski! I think the bear at the bottom of the right panel is my favorite.

    Congrats Ski! I supported and love wearing the 1928 shirt over at Cameesa. For those of you who don't know which one I am referring to, it is the second from the top on the right. It is currently for sale there.

    I have mixed feelings about this design as well as the "artists" view on modern art and other bits of commentary there on the right...however I'm going to spare myself the time writing about it as I'm tired, it's not really worth the keystrokes and I'm sure no one cares. I'll leave it at I'm definitely going to pass on this shirt and any future designs created by skirochester.

    i absolutely hate nirvana but i like this shirt
    had it been anybody else it would have been a buy

    stablercakesaid 161 weeks ago

    Would have thought about it if it weren't Cobain.

    I play the viola so this almost wakes up my nostalgia for my old orchestra, but it also wakes up nostalgia of my older brother blasting Nirvana. Bad days.

    Cool idea though.

    I prefer pearl jam but I'm getting it anyway. I don't have enough orchestra related shirts.

    I really like all of your work and I hope to see it on here sometime soon. I'm on the fence about this one but we will see...

    I'd be all over that Bear and Chimp print - but Kurt has never been my cup of tea.

    derekfilleysaid 161 weeks ago

    he may have been a great songwriter, but i'm pretty sure cobain didn't know how to play cello. I don't get this shirt :-(

    Not such a long shot... Nirvana brought a rock cellist, Melora Creager, on their '94 Europe tour:

    Way to publicize your ignorance undertow976, bad form dude. It's perfectly fine to not like Cobain or the band, but jesus dude you've got serious issues.

    I was just looking at cellos on eBay, then I decided to visit this site and saw this. Serendipity?

    spamuellasaid 161 weeks ago

    for their mtv live acoustic album
    for the song dumb
    they have a cello
    and i thought that's what this meant at first
    but i guess not haha.

    i like the print.
    by the way everyone
    you should really listen to that song.

    Mechsaid 161 weeks ago

    @Cverebely: Not cool man. That's incredibly rude and disrespectful.

    And yes, Kurt Cobain WAS left handed, so this illustration is inaccurate :) Still a neat design regardless.
  • image

    jdeboldsaid 161 weeks ago

    @everyone who's complaining about Cobain being a lefty - I'm a lefty, and play guitar left-handed, but I also play violin, bass, and cello right-handed.
  • image

    Kelamitysaid 161 weeks ago

    Thank you Idebold. If you don't know anything about cello playing STFU already. Curt's holding it correctly in the picture. All cellists finger with their left and bow with their right. Same with violinists, violists, and bassists. Go to any orchestra concert and check for yourself if you don't believe me.
  • image

    Sanussaid 161 weeks ago

    I like the shirt, could care less if it was Cobain or not, I just like Cello's. It has cool color and the fade to black is a nice touch.
    I agree that even if he was left handed he might have played the Cello right, it doesn't matter anyways, it's just a shirt.
    @ iamgracie, we get that it takes a while to ship, but for the price and the originality it's a good buy, besides every internet site is different. We should just be thankful the quality is a bit better than w00t's.

    Ehhh I like the cello but Cobain isn't my cup of tea. Gonna have to pass on this one haha

    Muntoesaid 161 weeks ago

    Also didn't even realize that Jet Beetle just about said the same thing LOL sorry if it seemed repetitive!
  • image

    Mechsaid 161 weeks ago

    Kelamity, you totally missed Idebold's point. He's saying some string instrument players are ambidextrous when it comes to playing instruments. Your generalization about ALL cellists fingering with their left would definitely be inaccurate. There are lots of string players that still hold the cello or violin or whatever else on the opposite of their body. Who knows, maybe Kurt would've been a right handed cello player.

    With that being said, I can retract my previous comment about it being "innacurate" because I guess I didn't think of that. I guess i do hold my cards in the opposite hand from all of my other family members (except my sister) and we're all right handed folks.

    Andy47240said 161 weeks ago

    Kurt killed 80's metal, so I am pre-programmed to dislike him. But I do like this design. Great job Ski!

    eh... never dug on him all that much, congrats on the published design though.

    endejestersaid 161 weeks ago

    that is really cool, I think I'm in the dark about some of the references but I really like the colors and lay out, if I had the funds I'd be in for one!
  • image

    stablercakesaid 161 weeks ago

    @ lefty comments

    Left or right handed, you play orchestral string instruments all the same way, neck in left bow in right. If you didn't, you'd be bowing people in the face in a group orchestra setting.

    DeathMetalToessaid 161 weeks ago

    Ugh. Decent design, technically speaking but incredibly lazy. Why not a clarinet or an oboe? This description "How rebellious is playing the guitar, really? Maybe in some ways, rocking on the cello is more true to the spirit of rock and roll..." Is so far off the mark in any way that it sounds like a 14 year old wrote it.

    I'm tired of puns and lazy pop culture references. Tee Fury WTF? If this is is just going to be a high school t-shirt site than fine, but point me to something a bit better please.

    why is there a blink 182 smiley on the cello
  • image

    Mechsaid 161 weeks ago

    It's not. It's a Nirvana smiley face.

    @DeathMetalToes: How's he sposed to sing when he's blowing into an oboe or clarinet :)

    Sanussaid 161 weeks ago

    Cello's are pretty different than violins...I don't think hitting your caps lock while you type is very adult anyways, so why ask for an "adult" design?

    loakeysaid 161 weeks ago

    This is a nice design but really not something I would wear. I think that this, as well as most of the artwork on the right, is more fitted for a print than a shirt. You have some mad skill that deserves to be more than just worn and dirtied...

    I love it, cool colors and neat idea. I love the detail on the cello

    I don't mind the cello at all. In fact, I LOVE this shirt!

    Also, great job on the paper, writing instrument and candle at right.

    heymanirocksaid 161 weeks ago

    jesus, this is becoming more like a forum and less like (what i would consider, anyway) a place to appreciate some cool designs.

    that being said, shotgun FIRST on tomorra's tee.

    Storminksaid 161 weeks ago

    I am really diggin the ski scene on the right. My eyes can't rest when looking at it, they just dart all over thanks to all those strong diagonals. I'm really freakin out about that piece, and its weird because I would normally scroll past it without a thought. It almost looks like a really distorted perspective due to the skis coming at you but when you analyze it its normal. Its trippin me out man nice work!
