A little arts-and-crafts-at-camp for my taste, but I love the color combination on the girl's shirt.

And I ADORE that chameleon with a 'stache.

...moustaches...and...all that...

I'm digging this man, I am going to say a definite maybe. This will be my first I have considered in a long while now, glad to see some semblance of cool shirts returning to teefury... (no offense to the other artists out there, it's just that so few have been at all remotely my style)

Soccerfun88said 151 weeks ago

It's nice, but a bit boring imo.

I'm still waiting for a teefury shirt on this Kelly Green color that I want; I don't have a single green shirt and I personally think most green shirts aren't that great looking.

And yeah, the chameleon side art is awesome.

Silly coolest bears on earth picutre, red pandas aren't bears. They are of the Ailuridae family, not the Ursidae family.

Here is a picture of a red panda nom noming a leaf. Why? Cause red pandas are cute.

I like it. I do watercolors and blow the drops of paint around the paper with a hair dryer, to make streamers and rounded-end lines. This looks exactly like that.

It's too boring! It's too busy! It's too plain old ugly! That shirt isn't artistic enough! The color rocks!

I know I may be contradicting myself by complaining about complaints but that's all I'm hearing from people on this site. I think this shirt is just peachy its not amazing its not horrifying. It's a shirt. Good Job Tobias thanx for submitting it!

wow, I like it alot. I do like the multi-colored teextile one better though, but that shirt here at TF would get turtlepoo for being printed on white. It allows for so much more though. Sad day. It's still great work along with much more of the artist's portfolio!

Nekophoenixsaid 151 weeks ago

This is actually the first one that I've seen since I've joined that's made me go "ooo" and consider whippin' out the card. Simple, paint splattery, and not full of trendy-electro geometric shapes which is what has turned me off so many of the shirts here. My only issue is I don't know how I feel about it on yellow there, much prefer the green. Spose I could get the boys shirt in that case... but I kinda like the lighter coloured stem, it's sorta more stylish and stand-outty. DECISIONS!

I like the backwards drip work. I use a lot of drip work in my own art. I really appreciate the ease, but hard work it goes into using drip art. I also like the way you layered your drip trees. Nice. That is actually a technique I'm experimenting with right now. Great Job!

oh, btw...why is there a cat at the bottom instead of the tee-fury bird?

@Reijn, the cat ate the TeeFury bird apparently.

About the artist

Tobias Fonseca

View artist’s website

Art curated by

A word from the curator:
What draws me to this shirt is the drama of this twig's growth. It might look small now, but after making this kind of a debut I expect it to rival a redwood sooner than later.

How did you get started designing t-shirts?
I always has worked with design and adversiting. One friend showed me around 2 years ago a Brazilian tee site and from this moment I began to make tees illustrations. After that, I found other sites through the world...Like Tee Fury! :D

What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?
It's hard. Well, anyway I have a thinking on mind and I try to follow it always: to work hard and never stop. You need have an aim and you need look for it.

What would be your dream job?
It's a hard answer. I don't know exactly, but I took off my job on a Advertising Agency to make tee designs. It's hard step but I love this and now it's what I want for my life. Maybe one day I will have a studio or something like that :D

What are your feelings on fast food?
Hmm, they're sooooo fast. One day there will be fired to exced speedy probably! :]

Do you prefer science, philosophy, or comedy?
I love all. (mainly on 'The Bigbang Theory')

Miniature owl vs. large mouse: who would win the battle?
If its is at night, Miniature Owl.

Describe the last shirt you bought.
It was a simple tee but with a fantastic design make by a great artist called SilvioPequeno.

What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was there a specific title you liked most of all?
When I was a kid I prefered cartoon. Oh God! Do you know Woodpecker?

What are a few of your favorite websites?
Every day I see: www.found.com, www.emptees.com and compete-tee-tion.blogspot.com

Any shout outs?
