  • Jayphoenixsaid 145 weeks ago

    Buying this definatly

    People vs. Radio

    Nice shirt...
    got it.
  • Duesexmachinasaid 145 weeks ago

    very awesome
  • ninthwheelsaid 145 weeks ago

    Wow! Great shirt.
  • Someonesaid 145 weeks ago

    This is art!
  • alimdsaid 145 weeks ago

    I've been reading tons about duels lately, and I've been really digging it, so I want to like this design. However there are too many small elements that seem meaningless or could be interpreted a hundred different ways.

    Though I believe art should be open to interpretation (and this is very nice artwork) I want my shirts to be straightforward. I'm an art student which means I have to deal with people telling me their opinions on my shirts alot, I don't want to argue with people about what my shirt means.

    Great work, I just don't like it as a shirt.
  • Soccerfun88said 145 weeks ago

    Considering you didn't design it, alimd, you COULD just tell whomever seems fit to argue with you "I didn't design it, so I don't KNOW what it's SUPPOSED to mean - now get off my case".

    Now, about this shirt; it's a great abstract design. And by definition, abstract art is, well, abstract, and thus... VERY hit-or-miss. Not knocking the design, but its a miss in my book. :)
  • leastsaid 145 weeks ago

    I love it o:
    I'm broke though :(
    I'll have to see if I can get some money..
  • Fat Possomsaid 145 weeks ago

    WOW. very very very sick. I LOVE this shirt. But.... afraid to buy based on the fit of the new blanks. Unfortunately have to pass until we get it figured out. Great design though!
  • stablercakesaid 145 weeks ago

    OOOOH! I'm digging it!

    I'll definitely think about it.
  • tPsaid 145 weeks ago

    For some reason whenever I wash white shirts they seem to get dirtier, so I vowed to never buy a white shirt ever again.
  • wottosaid 145 weeks ago

    Awesome work
  • Omnitariansaid 145 weeks ago

    Love it! Very original style.

    I don't see why you could say this is too abstract. You have imagery about duels combined with imagery about death. A fair juxtaposition if there ever was one. It's intellectually engaging without being illegable; it walks the line nicely.
  • carrbonesaid 145 weeks ago

    PURCHASED.... THIS IS A SICK DESIGN! WOW... please tattoo me with this! :)
  • drink alice.said 145 weeks ago

    Thinking about it.
    A shirt that, finally, can be considered some type of art. But what is duel? Besides two. D:
  • mister_goatssaid 145 weeks ago

    It was only 10 paces to the checkout. BOOM! This one is mine.
  • lhd33said 145 weeks ago

    Love the Design, but please... can we stop printing designs on white shirts?!?!?
  • melbelsaid 145 weeks ago

    Just out of curiosity.... I wonder why he chose the letters D and H for the broken heart.


    Anyone know?
  • picklebrinesaid 145 weeks ago

    hmmm DH, maybe his initials.. his first name is dylan
  • foxsaid 145 weeks ago

    Thinking about it

    just not really liking white shirts, but it's quite a stunning design. could die the white part.. hm!

    Dh == duty & honour also?
  • razz007said 145 weeks ago

    I love this, Great style. Just wish it wasn't so symmetrical.
  • jesika985said 145 weeks ago

    i love it, i was about to buy it, but then the cross threw me off.
  • disgruntledchaosaid 145 weeks ago

    finally something wort purchasing!
  • WinterArtworksaid 145 weeks ago

    only thing I don't like it the lack of side art!

    nice tee!!!

    I think it has to be symmetrical to get across that duel/dual idea.
  • dsglasersaid 145 weeks ago

    I usually dig the designs but I can't stand the way these shirts fit and feel? Does anyone agree? After buying a few I had to admit that I can't buy anymore from this site :-( . Hopefully TF will switch shirt manufacturers at some point. I suspect that the shirts they use are cheaper than those used by their notable competitors ... explaining the slightly cheaper base price.
  • bluebeaniesaid 145 weeks ago

    This is brilliant. COPPED!!!!
  • TurnThePaigesaid 145 weeks ago

    i like it, it just hurts my eyes a bit, trying to see everything.
    more simplicity would have been great, but this is still very good.
  • pucksaid 145 weeks ago

    I love this design, and I love white shirts. This is hardly abstract in the fine art sense. Very straightforward and awesome. I do wonder what the letters stand for... Great job, though. :)

    @alimd: Whut? You're an art student that doesn't like to explain art? I don't think the symbolism in this piece is even that challenging. I wonder how you stand Art History or museums... ;)
  • steveomacsaid 145 weeks ago

    absolutely love the design, top notch! @teefury staff, do you guys ever print variants? this would look fantastic printed on a red tee, with the red parts printed in white ink...very cool. too bad im broke. have to see if i can sell the tee i bought on teefurycopy to my buddy so i can buy this one

    Ahhh...thanx carrbone i could'nt figure out what this reminded me of, a tattoo. of course! it also kind of looks like something you would see on the carpet or walls of a vegas casino
  • Crushemsaid 145 weeks ago

    Siiick!
  • patindeldiablosaid 145 weeks ago

    Just bought it!!! Awesome work!! Your flicker page it's amazing as well. I can't agree more with Jimiyo:
    All you clammerin your mantra "We want art!" for $9, well, here you are!
    Money well spent!!!!
    I hope you'll be back soon...
    Sencillamente maravilloso!!!
    Felicitaciones compadre!!!
  • AirHendrixsaid 145 weeks ago

    Finally, a design without a single animal in it.

    I love my Lord of Cats shirt and Wild Duo (got it in the mail yesterday) but I've been sick and tired of animal themed shirts.

    Like Holy Pokemon, If I would see another Mother Goose Frugal design, I'd flip the shenanigans to the pancakes above the high wall ceiling.

    This would have been great on a sunset based color. White is too stark for this design.

    HOLY POKEMON!
  • Okklesaid 145 weeks ago

    Really really nice! Love the colour choices I think it works well on a white shirt! :D
  • grand_davidsaid 145 weeks ago

    very original!!
  • thejakeyl88said 144 weeks ago

    This is a very clean and well done design. Looks like we can all agree for once on this particular design. Go us, "YES WE CAN!" :)

    I'll meet ya on the next one, don't be late!
  • thejakeyl88said 144 weeks ago

    I also have to wonder, just briefly, if Teefury has a time machine? Because I think I've seen the Fury in the future. Just so you know.
  • Nickolinesaid 144 weeks ago

    Clean cut and well thought design! Nice

    I love to discuss art, I just don't like to discuss art that's on my chest therefore having everyone stare at my chest. Thanks for totally misreading my comment. And trust me I love museums and art history. (See how people can misintrepret things and be annoying?)

    @Melbel, I think it stands for "Deemed Honorable," because he mentioned that in his interview, but I'm not sure.
  • redboxsaid 144 weeks ago

    Looks like a beetle if you look at it as just one whole.
  • KidHolidaysaid 144 weeks ago

    Awesome. This should sell-out if that's possible.
  • DJcrosshatchsaid 144 weeks ago

    ahhhh. this one's difficult see i like it. but do i want it?? i have another few hours to consider.
  • DJcrosshatchsaid 144 weeks ago

    the answer is yes. i do want it.
  • mogarosaid 144 weeks ago

    love it
  • matt2koolsaid 144 weeks ago

    cool design. not something I would wear, but I still like it. congrats on the print.
  • jackpagesaid 144 weeks ago

    Man o Man Teefury is reading my mind I just did my own design encompassing a duel!!

    I like this design too, very simplistic, yet holds a deep meaning.

    I want to agree with the people who mentioned the shirt blanks being a deal breaker. That socks for the artist and the people wanting to buy the design. Good blanks are always essential!!

    Great Design!! I'm going to buy it, cut it out and sew it on a nicer tee. HAHAHAHA
  • FuzzyLogicsaid 144 weeks ago

    Some very odd comments on this today.
    I love this. Broke. socks.
    I went overboard buying shirts.

    Jesika.The Cross threw you off? It's so tiny.
    Not to spout a religious debate (Dear dog, the world has enough of those silly things) But I am just confused by that. I don't subscribe to any faith, but that doesn't bother me in the least. It's fitting
    with "The Old West" Style of dual and the little crosses they'd put on a grave sometimes. :D

    Happy Happy.
    Off to spread the word on this fantastic T!
  • FuzzyLogicsaid 144 weeks ago

    Y'all white T hatin' folk. Get some RIT dye, do a search on the net
    and dye it the color you want. It's fun! if I had the money for this, I'd get some black dye, make it very light and it would come out a crazy cool gray. Done it before. Works wonders.
  • campkatiesaid 144 weeks ago

    this is awesome!

    I have done this myself too, and it does work quite nicely. The Dye is cheap too, got it from krogers.
  • bettsmediasaid 144 weeks ago

    Dear Teefury,
    I will purchase ANY shirt done by THEORYONE.
    Regards,
    B

    ps-this shirt is effing epic!!
  • shaunyrsaid 144 weeks ago

    Purchased.
  • the_jcwsaid 144 weeks ago

    Ok, I didn't think I would be moved to buy another shirt for a long time as I am practically swimming in tees, and now this is thrown at me. How can I resist it, everything about this shirt screams style and skill. congrats on the print, and thanks a lot Jimiyo you managed to open up my wallet and let the moths out.

    Yeah, agreed. They are now using a basic Gildan due to Alstyle availability issues. I just wore my omnibus 2 shirt yesterday and it was like wearing a brillo pad. Not cool.
  • the_jcwsaid 144 weeks ago

    Boom! Money gone
  • 7minuteabssaid 144 weeks ago

    First purchase at Teefury!

    Oh Come ON! I washed my recent shirts, Omnibus 2 included
    and it's just fine n' soft. Brillo Pad? Exaggerate much?

    I can honestly say that I hate gildan shirts. After you wash them they become short and wide. They should try making slim fit tees, its less material so it would be cheaper for them. Hopefully they are Gildan Reps reading this........
  • Tuismsaid 144 weeks ago

    Weird, 3 times in a row I thought I posted something and then it's not here.

    TheoryOne's design style is sooo distinct and awesome, I wish we had more time to connect. Tried to get him around these parts earlier, seems like he's waaaaay busy :)

    ROCK ON DUDE!!
  • melbelsaid 144 weeks ago

    Dont use dye!!! Too messy! Use SIMPLY SPRAY!!

    http://www.simplyspray.com/

    Its like... spray paint for shirts. You can use them to stencil, change the color of the shirt completely or tye dye. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! You can get it at walmart, its so easy.
  • Griggiteesaid 144 weeks ago

    Loooove this design. Love your artwork on flickr.
  • robinzeggblusaid 144 weeks ago

    Nice linework though the images comes off as a little flat, which is fine I suppose, but not my thing.

    Also, STILL waiting for that Jimi shirt!! MJ, I know WHY it got pushed back, I understand, but I wants it nao! lol.

    Also, I got a shipping notice for the last shirt i got o.O this is new yes? I approve! GJ guys!
  • Olympiasaid 144 weeks ago

  • PuzzledPuzzlersaid 144 weeks ago

    and awesome design! for some reason I'm totally into the old west/gun fight "stuff" so this just may hafta be a must-buy for me =)
  • willburns1said 144 weeks ago

    Oh this shirt is pretty cool. I wish the artist would explain why he did specific things in a little bio about the shirt. If an explanation was needed of course.

    Congrats! Well deserved!
    Make yourself an icon/avatar. Maybe a tiny bio!
    :D

    Great shirt. 2 in a a row I want SO bad but can't afford.
    I'm wondering if I'll ever get a replacement for BURROWISH.
  • FuzzyLogicsaid 144 weeks ago

    also, Nice to see Dale Edwin Murray here. Have seen much from you.
    Love it all.
    Check his stuff out too folks.... click on this pic to see his site!

  • Sirknifesalotsaid 144 weeks ago

    I like it. Not enough to buy it but it does seem original. Nice work.

    Are they like conjoined twins that are trying to kill one another but they can't do the ten paces cause they're conjoined so they can't walk away from eachother?
  • xxbaphometxxsaid 144 weeks ago

    If it weren't for that cross above their heads, i'd be all over this shirt...
  • HandsomexPoisonsaid 144 weeks ago

    I love the symmetry in this shirt.
    awesome piece theoryone
  • bettsmediasaid 144 weeks ago

    I like how it says "love" on one wrist and "lost" on the other. It's the small details.
  • melbelsaid 144 weeks ago

    how the heck can you see that? lol
  • kori pantssaid 144 weeks ago

  • SteelWoolysaid 144 weeks ago

    caught, bought, slappy & happy. Just digging duel-ality all over this image and the character's expressions.
    It really reminds me of the feel I got from 'ol Twist artwork...
    Thanks TheoryOne!

  • bettsmediasaid 144 weeks ago

    @melbel @Sirknifesalot
    If you look at the tshirt mock up graphic at the very top, look at the background of the pic in grey. You can see a closeup of the wrists in the upper left and upper right hand corners.
