Teefury

not my thing but pretty cool

Purple should have been one of the colors used...

This is so delicious.

Oh wow, Teevil, that is way more than corny, that is down right corn flakey!

I'd feel silly wearing it, not being much of a Hendrix fan, but the tiger and heart on the right are awesome.

Design is good, but does nothing for me.

Jimi, on the other hand...
Is that what we're going to be getting from Jimi one of these days?!?

Not my thing, but I like the tiger one on the right and I know my boyfriend would love the zombie one.

Did you see a secret? :o

Stay tuned...

Ive always liked Jimi. I've been waiting for it. I deeply enjoy seeing the name of the shirt before the design pops up. I like making my own creation in a way. That one second of what does the description mean is cool. Eager but quick anticipation. Could be better facialwise but i love the green and blue combination. Wish it wasnt on black but all in all good job and thanks. I bought one

I are first to open funny secret!
I demand free shirt prize, like with emails... except, I never have a chance with the emails because everyone else is lame.
:D
:O
:(

Palabra! btw@ visual singularies - i didnt know that machine i own was for killing zombies. i used it to turn off the t.v., thanks !

wow, Fury gets a bunch of commenter's in the first couple mins of a new design nowadays, huh?

I heart Jimi designs. Good Job.

The machine killing zombies brought a chuckle. This is my boomstick!!! Yeah yeah evil dead isnt zombies but still popped in my head

AWESOME, love Hendrix

ahhh, I found the secret c8
I almost never do.
Which makes me feel special.
\o/

Love the heart on the side. The skull on the side is also very cool.

As for this shirt, I think it is cool for what it is, I just never really got into Hendrix.

About the preview... I dont know if this was intentional (i think it was) But I like how the teeth of the top face make the eyes for the lower face.

that jimi secret looks like a collab with hydro74 to me.
i hope it comes on a good blank so i can buy it.
:)

Awesome. I'm very glad that the artist stayed true to Hendrix' upbringing in that he played a right-handed guitar as a youth, strung the opposite way, because a left-handed guitar was so hard to come by.

At Stanford in 1959, Kesey volunteered to take part in a CIA-financed study named Project MKULTRA at the Menlo Park Veterans Hospital. The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT, and DMT on people. - That's according to Wikipedia.

As for the shirt - As a long time (since the 60's) fan of Jimi Hendrix), I couldn't wear this shirt. It doesn't look anything like him for one thing. Secondly, I'm not big on the colors.

And btw, the hippies back then were not a scourge ;-) They were mostly college students.

peppersagooddog was born in 1975

ergo i do not remember the 60s

and i am thankful for it.

silly hippies.

snarkygal said: And btw, the hippies back then were not a scourge ;-) They were mostly college students.

So they were a scourge then. :P

As for the shirt I do like the colors but would've like a more accurate look of Jimmy. It looks FatAlbertstylish. Maybe that's what you were going for.

yay

love the colors. my brother would love this shirt. think i will buy it for him.

and whens the jimiyo jawn printing?!

also, wearing teevil omnibus now. word

Okay, so I'm probably going to get hated on for this, but...

I really like the skull on the side.

No. That's a cool skull. No hate for liking that.

I like the colors, but the likeness/drawing seems unintentionally shaky.

I dig the colors, and personally, I think the work represents well one of Jimi's classic 'guitar faces.' It might not be a portrait, but I'd recognize it/him in a heartbeat.

Still, I'ma sleep on it.

i'd buy all your designs, brah. well done.

I like the idea of a Jimi Hendrix shirt, but the face seems a little bit cartoony. The colors look realy cool together though...

I really love the colors, looks great in my honest opinion! The only thing I would change is the shirt color it's printed on. There have been quite a few black shirts as of late, and I for one have too many already!

I agree, there have been quite a few black shirts. Black shirts are cool, but i don't know if it mixes with Jimi.

Cool art! I'm not a fan of Jimi though. But if I was, I would totally rock this shirt.

This should have been in place of Sitar Hero. End of story.

I'll consider it.

@Pyro - MOAR BLACK SHIRTS. Colors get dirty and fade, black is IMMORTAL.

A little busy for my tastes, and some purple with mustard yellows, dark oranges & browns would have made it wearable for me.

I like the colors, and the little details like the music notes and proper guitar are great...

Am I hallucinating, or are there extra faces on this shirt?

I'm a big fan of Jimi but not the design, I think it's an awful pick of colors and the cartoonish look also.

Celebrating the fifth anniversary of you asking me that question.

Uhmmm, I'm not a fan of Jimi, but I'll probably buy it for my friend.

This is the absolute best shirt, and relates to me more than any shirt I've seen here on Teefury. I'm not going to explain why. I just want to say thank you for this one, and in a weird way, fulfilling a year long obsession and musical creations. This shirt just seems to say the end, your off, in my situation anyways. Perfect timing. Absolutely perfect timing for my life's story. Amazing.

OKAY, I'VE DECIDED.

I love the colors and I like Jimi, but I'm not sure if it would jive IRL. So, I'm gonna buy it and if I don't like it, my little brother can have it. He loves Jimi and Teefury.

Everybody wins, man. Peace and love.

jimi "phase?" ha!

Man I love the tiger design on the side.
This is also really nice. Love the colors.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many black shirts lately. I would have both this had it not been another black shirt. Colors make no sense anyway.

I'm so surprised that there aren't many Jimi fans here!!!!

All I have to ask is "Are you serious?" The man is a legend!

As for the shirt, I think the artist really captured the emotion of Hendrix. The colors are perfect for this design & hendrix too. My only thing is the music note on his cheek, it clutters up his face. But I like how you put subtle key elements through out the design. Very well done!!

bettsmedia was born in 1979

ergo i do not remember the 60s

but Hendrix is a frakkin' Legend!!

-Having the notes hidden in the face and fire is a good touch
-The likeness is too cartoonish for my taste
-Keep working on your color theory
-A brightly colored blank would have made this shirt sing

It's funny how I recognized it as Jimi even though the face looks nothing like him. That might be a little racist, but whatever.

I'd buy it but I don't really like Bob Marley.

smuuuuuurf, if it wasn't so cartoonish I'd be all over this. Love Hendrix.

Do you see what I see? I'd double-down on Jimi's on black shirts.....

Thank you for the nice words! Unfortunately, this design was made almost 5 months ago so the frequency of black shirts is out of my hands.

Hey man I'm glad it affected you in some way. If my art can move and inspire people half as much as Jimi's music did, that would be something.

Thank you to everyone who has bought one so far!

gosh darn i love this shirt and i have NO MONEY!!! GR GR GRRRRR

Um, pardon me for being the voice of litigation but won't the proprietors of the Hendrix estate have something to say about this seemingly unauthorised use of Jimi's image?

@ deadshallrise: I don't think this will be a problem. If you go back and click on "Archive" you will see that there have been quite a few 'celebrity' inspired tees in the past, everyone from Spock, Joaquin Phoenix, Radiohead, etc. etc.

i think half the people that wrote a comment are on some LSD or, something.

Nice colors

LMAO.

It amazes me how many people think portraiture/caricature is somehow illegal.

People don't legally own their likeness.

Actually Stabler, they do. There's even a cause of action of "misappropriation of name or likeness". The question is whether the work is sufficiently transformative. This is the Kirby v. Sega case.

To say that people don't own their likeness is categorically wrong.

Yea there have been a lot of cases of the person responsible for the estate taking this to litigation because the sales would be coming from the likeness of the character. The only people as far as I know that are immune from using their likeness are Political figures.
This design definetly is art and inspired by Jimi..

"The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled April 30 that Civil Code Sec. 3344.1under which a celebritys estate receives exclusive rights of publicity for 70 years following registration with the secretary of statedoesnt abridge free speech rights of those who reproduce celebrity images unless a reproduction incorporates significant creative elements.

The state court said Saderups renditions of three unsmiling stooges, including two with their eyes open wide, were merchandise, not art

Under the statute, no one else may use the persons name, image, identity, or persona for commercial purposes unless the estate or its successor consents or the use falls within a statutory exemption. "

That's where the debate lies, isn't it? To us and to the artist, this is well within that standard.

Those have very little relevance in the analysis.

People don't own their likeness - they possess the right to publicity, however, even that is debatable depending on usage and locale. A single caricature is legally allowed - it's in the mass reproduction of that image where lines must be drawn between transformative use and infringement of rights.

This is obvious a mass production, so it could be scrutinized.

In the more recent case brought up by Tiger Woods, Woods lost. I think an argument can be made in this case that the likeness is transformative enough to be protected as fair use. It's obviously not a photographic rendering - it also carries implied feeling/meaning. Just my opinion, but I think it would pass the Saderup case test - which, as Teefury is based in CA, the Saderup case would be used as a standard.

IMO - I don't see the H endrix estate pursuing TF for damages as the result of a one-day sale.

nice design, would have looked a lot better on a different color t than the normal black or white

I cant tell if this is a joke or not.

Every time a shirt comes up on Teefury that looks like something, the same old question of its legality comes up along with it. Teefury has been fine in the past for all its shirts, and I'm sure they have or consult a lawyer(s) at some point about doing shirts like this. Maybe not individual shirt consultations but I'm sure they know exactly where to draw the line. I'm sure they get a bunch of stuff that goes over the line that they toss, we just don't see them so we don't know. What we do see is the stuff deemed to be OK.

No, Cause Jimi doesn't look like a chunk of coral with a guitar.

Ok, but isn't that only for misappropriation? Or slander/libel? Slander and libel are illegal if they actually serve to defame a person.

You go ahead and sue every caricature artist/portrait artist in the country and see how far you get.

I'd like to point out slander and libel are technically written/spoken word related, but you get it.

you can make single productions of caricatures all you want. if you reproduce those caricatures in mass numbers, then you have to prove that you're doing more than just using the person's image.

I'll get a tee BC I love Jimi and the colors are cool and it's a pretty awesome shirt, but I also wanted to mention that I love your EYE OF GOD prints at Etsy!

"This is my Boom-Stick!"

I love jimi hendrix

When is the 3rd collab tee showing up? Is it?

So you're going to sue magazines that mass-publish caricatures instead? Or use likenesses for packaging? Or gag illustrations on merchandise?

I'm really surprised this stuff is coming up for this tee which is obviously art drawn mostly from the idea of Jimi and the traced photo of Joaquin Phoenix flew right by.

Tae He's friend told me to get this one.

oh stabler, didnt anyone ever tell you?

THREADS ON SHIRT SITES ARENT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE.

rationality is against the law when commenting ones opinion on shirts and/or art.


besides, i think they must just be being racist.
thats the answer for everything.
srsly.

I'm lucky I didn't get this. Cool idea but this reminds me of Creole designs for some odd reason...

Anyway, if this was true to the amazing song, there would be a Zebra in this.

Holy Pokemon!
