Thats a pretty sweet shirt but its in black. Well i guess it wouldn't go good in anything other then black though.

It reminds me of samurai armor.

Jimiyo I love your work your attention to detail is unmatched.... Unfortunately the Japanese mask is a little to intense for my style. Keep up the awesome designs, New Waves is still my favorite shirt, perfect for any occasion...

Nice placement and over all composition pulls together well. I am assuming it is based on the Japanese Samurai armor. Bought!

Fantastic detail and lighting. Really dig the design elements like the double chin (whether that's yours, or in an original helmet you ref'd from). Would work better for me as a print, but still a fab image.

This is sick as always, but I couldn't pull it off as a shirt. I love the picture of the woman on the side, it's so entrancing. Anyway, I expected no less! yay jimiyo!

Nice design, I'm not much into demonish t-shirt designs since it'd make me look like a hard metal fan or something XD but I love the talent!

DesignHimsaid 128 weeks ago

Yea, this would make a great print.

But as a shirt, it's a bit too muscle for me personally. The sheen and background give off some sort of... chopper / harley davidson type feel.

Lets give Jimi a hard time like we do other artists! Ok I see a skull in there. Skull = Fail. Ok I gave em a hard time. :P

Actually I kinda like it. Not sure I'd wear it but it looks well done. Done well? Cooked? Grilled? I don't know anymore.

I would get this but its too stern for my liking.

thejakeyl88said 128 weeks ago

Ok, skullz=not fail. I see the color blue more often. This is a ridiculously awesome take on Samurai helmet, hence the name. Looks pretty mean, and that small skull is hardly the center of attention, so I don't consider it a skull shirt. Skulls though, have been around in art for thousands of years so no wonder we see them all the time, no biggie! No fails happenin'. Anyway, I always have some interest in jimiyo's work and I'd bet many would guess the artist as jimiyo if the name wasn't posted.

It's an artistic style of knot tying.
You need to tie your mask on or it will fall off. :)

Jimiyo's the man! I agree with Conan. This deserves much partay-ing. Gangster in the back couldn't handle the fire so he stayed out the kitchen.

Jimiyo, every part of your story makes being inspired that much easier - I would believe it if next time you said your art was inspired by your dad who was a feudal lord from wartime Japan. KUDOS.

I absolutely love the illustration, but I just cant bring myself to buy a black and white shirt. I love color, but all the best teefury designs seem to end up on black, and now my wardrobe is leaning too much on the dark side....

Very nice! I agree on the comment about the knot not being detailed enough compared to the rest. It looks kind of flat, a few highlights would of brought it out nicely. Still amazing though!

Is that Joanna Newsom at the side?

I think you would've enjoyed my sub alot. Unfortunately Teefury felt that it wasn't the right fit for them:

http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/60772

One small nitpick (which could help reinforce this image as a samurai helmet) is to lose the gray 'wings' on either side.

BTW, this design is very BAD @$$! Very much pondering a purchase...

great art, awful choice of shirt for it to be on.

If it were on a diferent colour shirt I'd probably go for it, but all the detail and lustre is just lost when a black & grey design is placed on the darkest shirt possible

I just realized what this helmet reminds me of, its from one of the demon characters from the opening sequence of Onimusha 2! Still probably one of THE baddest CGI sequences of any video game.

Fuzzy, did you lose Burrowish in the mail? Consider it lost forever then. I've lost 6 or 7 shirts that way. You won't get a replacement unless you happen to get one in randoms or find one on teetrade.org.

At least, that's what customer service always told me. They never sent me replacements for any of the ones that I lost (or got stolen by postal employees).

About the artist

jimiyo

Art curated by

sonmi

Words from the curator:
Guys, it's jimiyo. Seriously. Need I say more? This is where it's at!

What is a day in the life of Jimiyo like?
Lots of work, and after work, I'm the President of the Association of Mac Finder Haters, and Anti Mac Propaganda Legion. We are recruiting for new members here if interested.

What is your preferred mode of transportation? Mescaline, the only way to fly. Jokes, that's a Matrix allusion, I don't condone drugs, unless it's Zoloft and you really need to take a chill pill. Some people are really uptight. I have a Suzuki. The passengar seat is in the apartment garage. I like it that way.

I hear you like cats. Do you have any interesting cat collectibles? Cat calendar? Feline salt and pepper shakers? I have two cat candles as a gift from the Most Wonderful Snarkygal, a Fing Rad painting, a Pi1ihp cat drawing, and a $18 wooden 3 ft cat from TJ Maxx.

When/how did you decide art was your path? 2005, I was working at Dell as a sales rep saving money to buy a townhouse, and the path to the status quo, normality! I had the mortgage approval, the house picked out, but I hated my job. The few years I was at Dell, I would go home every night and work on art til the wee hours of the morning. My highlight of my day was showing my coworkers my art I created the night before.

So I was about to commit to buying my first home. Then my grandpaw died. Something changed. Something about a person's death will make you re-evaluate what's really important. After that I just quit. I didn't care. I was just going to Art until my savings I had for my future home ran out. Fortunately an art job landed in my lap a couple months after. That was the beginning of the path.

It's been an interesting ride ever since and the path in front of me has been mostly unpredictable. I sometimes long for the normal life, but then I don't want to look back when I'm on my death bed, and think, don't care to do that again, that was boring...
