This is a really cool design and all, but I can't help but feel that no one would ever SEE it. I appreciate it being dark, but the contrast really feels too slim to appreciate the artwork fully.
I wonder if this would have been just a bit more epic on a grey more like Silver, Zinc or Slate colored shirts. Basically something not as dark as Asphalt.
Too bad the eyes don't glow in the dark. I think that'd make it so much creepier. Someone sees these two floating orbs and then comes closer and *BAM* evil decaying animal head.

yeah two floating orbs... right at the womanly orbs level ;)
I don't think I could buy it, the design totally freaks me out in a donny darko/dreamcatcher kind of way. It'd just sit in my closet or foisted off onto the first unsuspecting relative to hide in their closet.
It is a brilliantly composed drawing and I like it. SO kudos for that.
AUGH!!! More skulls. Not right. So not right. My entire $&*#ing wardrobe is black already, but more in the phreak/wirehead sort of way. But skulls would totally pull me over into emo/pothead territory.
holy rattata! instant buy. this skull shirt is beyond the exception, likely because its not necessarily a "skull" head because theres still skin and some flesh there. pikachu awesome. i hope teefury makes my cuss words sound pikachu hilarious in this comment too
It really doesn't look all that morbid to me...A little dark, yeah, but it reminds me of the 'great spirit' from princess mononoke. So, I probably got a different impression than was intended, but I like it all the same.
I effing LOVE this shirt. I've been waiting for a shirt to show up for a while now that I just simply love... and this is the shirt. LOVE it. It gave me goosebumps and made my heart flutter.
I love this sort of thing but it's simply TOO dark, I can barely see anything less I look extremely closesly which kinda ruins the image. I don't need people staring at my chest more thank you.
YAY! Scumbugg! I'm in love with his work and watch him on DA; I never really thought I'd see his work here. I also love this design, so I'm especially pleased.
man ive loved this one since the first time i saw it.
too bad i now cant see it.
will have to do much pondering :(
MAN! why wasnt this put on silver or even frakking navy. srsly.
Buying. I like the fact that it's mute unlike some others. Shirt designs like this seem to attract more attention because the person viewing it can't quite make it out at first. Now if the eyes were glow in the dark too, that would be truly wicked.
Note to artist - Congrats on the dream job. I'm interested in what a "social justice oriented print and design collective" is all about.
Do the eyes have Glow Ink? Scumbugg said he believed it does on a post promoting it on Emptees. This is great! More designs curated like this please ;-)
Would glow-in-the-dark eyes really be that cool? In the dark, you would have two circles in the middle of your shirt. While you know what the circles are, and it may seem cool to you, to others it'll look strange.
I gotta agree that the original colors were much better...you could see various touches of reflective spots on the antlers and skull, making it seem like this was being seen in someone's headlights rather than just randomly glowing eyes. Plus the blue gave it a real ethereal quality...
Sad to see something that I loved when I first saw it being kinda washed out and dumbed down...the original had depth to it...this is a flat illustration...I'm still getting one, because I collect skulls in RL, so this is just too fun to miss...
I'm pissed. I ordered 2 of these (http://www.teefury.com/archive/453/) and wrote Teefury asking where the pokemon are my shirts. They said there was a system error and many people who ordered this shirt didn't have their order processed. They had to wait for me to ask before they can tell me? :-( The one shirt I've really liked since joining. Anyone else have this problem?
Oh come on jayropedawg... i know you are a girl but you can admit you have a little girl crush on me. haha... i mean... we both do love cats.
Mondoburger... thanks for the flower... u might have lost some points by using the word bro... by any chance are you a goodburger fan? haha welcome to good burger home of the good burger can i take your order?
sirknifesalot... everytime i look at someones profile today my internet crashes. damn you teerfury!! its actually prob my internet connection or something... damn you wireless for working crappy in the rain!
@jayropedawg & stablercake: fools! you're missing out
@melbel: you're very welcome! oh and "bro" was used in sarcasm so it doesn't count?
mondoburger has been my nickmane since high school. guys on the football team gave it to me one day while we were reminiscing about the good old days (ie: all that!)
it definitely is very donnie darko, i agree.
that was my first thought.
i'm too "sunshine & puppy dogs" for this shirt, but i really like it.
it's creepy in a great way.
it takes up the full shirt, which i love.
if i liked the fit of the girls tee better, i'd definitely consider buying...
@melbel
I lawlz at the internet trollers lookin for a little more furry than tee, if you catch my drift.
@Mondo
Not to discount Melbel's kindness or her being however old, the internet should never be trusted.
And this looks nothing like Donny Darko. I love that movie, but people let it go. If it were a bunny and maybe a wormhole and a jet engine (SOMEONE MAKE THAT SHIRT NOW PLEASE) then ya. Donnie Darko.
But right now? DONNIE YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT.
SeaCrest OUT
CPU, if I could draw I'd do a a Bunny and an airplane engine getting sucked into a wormhole. Or have a wormhole coming out of the chest and wrapping around... Peeps like the Darko. Anyone feel free to steal that idea.
nomnom what about a bunny riding a jet engine OUT of a wormhole? Or a bunny riding out of a wormhole that originates on the shirt's belly button? Contemplating your navel type o rattata haha..
hahahaha - that sounds jive as sheeet CPU. much like the small goat I saw riding a sheep today, the bunny on a jet engine calmly flying into the abyss.. epic.
lol@ paralyzed duck chick. it looks horrified, as well it should be. I don't imagine I would be very photogenic with a Trex pawing my fleshy head with pupils the size of planets either.
Email me you goober. I can't stop checking posts either. And the more I do the more I want to buy this shirt. It would be good as an all purpose metal shirt for shows.
@Mel
oh, that's my bad. my blunder. have a dog. I would never

Not yet. Many negative things in my way. But, that was one of the

Thanks, SirKnifesAlot
Just seeing that put me in a fockin' great mood!
Hey. I tried checkin' out your facebook page. Did you see me bap ya?
I can't remember.
I got to get to the forums. I gots to try to submit bird design.
Damn.
I want a FaceFury page.
I like it when people put stuff in their profiles.
Makes the world a little closer.
thank god for having friends who still have facebook haha.... just saw tomorrows tee... not into it... i have a feeling everyone will say "it looks like it took 10 min in photoshop" and other things alone the lines of that.
nom nom nom... first a dont get a dog... then i dont get invited onto a cloud. wtfs going on here? did i lose my touch?
yeah, i kinda agree about tomorrow's tee. i'm sure it took more time to do and all, but it's just not my style :P there's something weird about the composition...
i might sound like an a.s.s. saying this but like... im not going to buy a tshirt that i could do on my own u know? maybe i should start putting my art up for tshirts. get me some moolah.
this is total fail...on the model the design was towards the top of the shirt..i just got it in the mail and the design is down towards the middle and looks bad. you guys need to have a more accurate repesentation of your shirts on the models.
It's been a while since we printed Scumbugg last. From the sounds of the interview, it sounds like he's movin on up. It's no surprise considering his work is obviously beautifully rendered by a skilled hand. This is a radical design. Picking this up for myself!
I've started seeing you doing more client work. How has that been? Great! I’ve gotten to work with some great bands and companies, and getting better as I go. I have more time and energy than I did when I was working the restaurant gig, and my income hasn’t taken a hit either.
Any advice for artists just getting into the game? Dive in head first. Give it your full attention. If you’re preoccupied with a day job, or whatever, it will reflect in your art’s quality. Draw everyday, even if you don’t have any clients and find an art community you can get critique from. Both of these practices will keep you on top of your game, and help you evolve and adapt.
If someone wanted commission you, where should they contact you? Email works best for me. scumbugg@yahoo.com
Anything exciting happen since your last print? I was offered my dream job. In August, I’ll be moving to Denver to co-manage a social justice oriented print and design collective. It was perfect timing, I was just starting to worry about what to do with my life, and this perfect job basically fell in my lap. It’s really a dream come true for me.
Anything else you want to promote/shout out/etc? I think we covered everything. Maybe I should mention The Locust, because this design was inspired by their song of the same name.
