    Why would you bother even making a "guys" tee? I couldn't imagine wearing that.

    I love her, and everything she stands for.
    Whatever that is.
    Probably an auto-buy, just need to check the FederalReserve account.

    Holy Mucha trace-job! I love seeing art nouveau-based work, but not if I've seen the exact same thing before. Even if it was sans-snail.

    skonen_bladessaid 143 weeks ago

    I gotta side with Silent-t here. This isn't Mucha-inspired so much as it is straight-up traced.

    I love me some Mucha and I'm a huge fan of the artwork on the sidebar there but I don't think this tee design deviates enough from the work of a master to call your own. Mixing it with a snail is a nice touch but I'm not sure I think it deviates enough. My opinion. Art is subjective. If I had no idea who Mucha was, I'd probably think it was a kick-arse design.

    That robot/jukebox thing holding the tree on the sidebar there is sick! And I love that Fleetwood Mac logo.

    @ greenlion22: who cares what you think?

    i want this shirt, but i've already screwed the budget.

    except the part about this being a trace is kinda lame, but most wouldn't know.

    (draw more octopi)

    I in fact know a lot of men who would wear that shirt.

    Buuuuuuut I DO go to art school xD

    Nekophoenixsaid 143 weeks ago

    Mucha INSPIRED = good. Mucha pretty much traced? = not so good, and very off putting. Interesting concept and all, but the fact that I knew exactly what picture this was copied from the second I laid eyes on it makes me say no. I'm with skonen in that if I didn't know Mucha's work, I would probably think it a kick arse design, but it just looks like a ripped off mash up as it is.

    Seems to be a fine shirt for the ladies. I wouldn't want to be seen in this one, myself.

    LukeLukeLukesaid 143 weeks ago

    Thanks everybody! Just for the record, definitely not a trace. I'll admit it's a close freehand but I think I definitely took it in a different direction from the Mucha original (e.g., skinnier girl, gianter hair, snail). It's an ode to my favorite piece of art just wanted to do it justice! Anyways, thanks for the print Teefury and I hope everyone who buys one loves it! I can't wait to get mine!

    nice drawing but like Greenlion22 said i can't image a guy wearing that maybe if it was different color on the outline of the snail

    themidgardknightsaid 142 weeks ago

    This is great drawing. I LOVE the robot one. I would want to see this one printed for sure. The octopus and ship ones are awesome too. Keep it up.

    Rick_ROSSsaid 142 weeks ago

    If you look closely- you can see on the origional Mucha, that the smoke is comming from the cigarette- and on this tee it's trailing from her mouth.. definately not a trace.. also the hair is similar in style- but very different on the print, it's a great freehand.. kudos on that.

    I think this is more a construct of Alstyle's dramatically limited color selections. I get the feeling there are some shades that they don't have in both genders, also, which contributes to some of the more "stereotypical" tee choices. This wouldn't be an issue with, say, American Apparel, but I recall Teefury's community being very adamant in the long long ago, when there was talk of switching for a higher price-point. By and large, cheaper shirts were more important than more diverse color options and arguable higher quality.

    As for this specific shirt, I really like the art and the weirdness, but it isn't for me. Not because it's too feminine... that's a total cop-out answer. I'm just not a fan of Mucha.
  • image

    Arrowsaid 142 weeks ago

    It might be tough to hear this Luke but I completely didn't notice that IS Mucha. You can call it a freehand or whatever but there is nothing new, just adjustments to the hair n smoke with a snail. If it was your own creation I would be really impressed and was. I still really dig your work and look forward to more.

    ShellyShenoysaid 142 weeks ago

    I'm SO PISSED that the very first comment on this board is 'why even bother making a "guys" tee' because the design is SLIGHTLY FEMININE.

    I'm SORRY, but how many BLOODY, ZOMBIE, ROBOT, ALIEN, GORY, DEVIL, SKATER, PUNK arse, MINION, DARTH VADAR TEE SHIRTS need to happen before ONE LONELY SHIRT arrives that is SLIGHTLY beautiful and not tom-boyish to the max for a female to wear?!

    If tee fury is a sight for 'dudes and their junk' only then fine - but since I'm pretty sure it's not, then shut the tarnation up about one in a hundred shirts that's actually suitable for a woman.

    I'm happy they are using more colored shirts for a while there it was all black! i dunno about this one i feel like the octopus one with the schoolbus would have sold more.

    being a big mucha fan i gotta say this: mucha's drawing doesn't look like it's from beauty and the beast. you smurf for copying AND you smurf at copying. stick to original work.

    nathanlausaid 142 weeks ago

    Seriously... what's with the Mucha elitism? If you are really an Alphonse Mucha connoisseur like many of you say you are you would notice that the female's body angle, the way her hair falls, smoke, lips, hand, etc. are different. I'm a big fan of Mucha's work and I've never seen a half decent T-shirt print of any of it. So why not even if it's an "inspired by" piece?

    P.S. I'm a guy, and I bought the "guys" tee.
  • image

    elvenjuiceboxsaid 142 weeks ago

    while it is elegant and very art nouveau I don't think it's a copy, more like an inspiration, all be it not a very close one. I think this wouldhave been better colored in or sans color gradient
  • image

    hurricanesyndromesaid 142 weeks ago

    Definitely not traced. I find nothing wrong with appropriating imagery to create new imagery. A definite ode to Mucha and done very well.
  • image

    Khoroshosaid 142 weeks ago

    This is most certainly a copy. It might not be traced, but that doesn't matter - the concept, the style, and the pose are from a very specific work by Mucha. A better ode to his work might have been to come up with a brand new pose, and then incorporate it into a design.

    Tacking a snail on it doesn't make it your work. And it is a great design! Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with this - unfortunately, both TeeFury and the artist are making money on it, and that makes it wrong. :(
  • image

    supersprytesaid 142 weeks ago

    Reminds me too much of Mucha's Job for comfort. I'm not even all that familiar with Mucha's works and I caught it.

    That being said, the artist seems to have a great sense of line and style; why use something that he doesn't need? The style of the "borrowed" work is a little too different from his own style anyway.

    Been liking a lot of TF stuff and the curators are doing a great job, but this one perhaps slipped through the cracks.

    Dear Khoshoro,

    I think somehow through the fact that you've proved art knowledge through visual aides, I...I think I love you even more, if that's possible.

    With love,

    Me.

    It's so cool to see all this feedback! If you bought one feel free to email me a picture of you wearing it for my website. My last two cents on the trace or not-trace issue: I wonder how many shirts or artworks are out there that use the Mona Lisa or the David as imagery. Also, I wonder if people said Dali traced Millet or if they said Van Gogh traced Hiroshige. Thanks for all the insight everybody! Thanks for the print Teefury! I can't wait to work with you guys again in the future!
