Typically I don't care for ZOMBIE related designs (they always seem kind of hackneyed to me), but this is a great bit of art and involves everyone's favorite surrealist painter no less.
Yes, when is the Queen of Hearts going to be up here. I love that one and I know we had a playing card themed one up not too long ago but when I saw the title of that one all I could think of was this design on the right. I LOVE IT!

the colors are way slick and I dig the splatter/grunge effects in the background (more of that TeeF! haha..) but like stabler said before me, the placement of his head seems funky... if it were more near the top (rather than the middle) then blablabla... that's being nitpicky though haha
This came out really well. Not sure if Dali was a great choice for a zombie. Obama zombie made sense because the image itself is iconic, while this just seems kind of random. Also, I'm not sure many people are going to recognize the artist, even people that are familiar with his work. That all being said, I think the image itself is pretty impressive whether or not you are familiar with the content.
Oh and to respond to the first post via Teevil my fave-o-rit Dali piece (though there are many) is either
The Elephants
Civil War
Tempation of St Anthony.
Also, if you guys are fans of Dali's work be sure to check out Destino. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3KeqJFsb4M) It's a collaboration Between Disney and Dali. Double Ds. =X ...anyway. -end Dali rant / ass kiss fest
@CPUT99 Mine's cliche, but I have to say I really love his piece "The Persistence of Memory." It's just one of those works of art that you see once and you never forget.
wow haha this is truly a masterpiece the sheer fact that they put this shirt up after i have no money is cruel and even if i did buy it im going to college so i wouldnt even get the shirt lol im angry and teefury owes me another dali shirt im freaking out.
i like how u have diversity with styles in ur art, and i deffanently think this shirt is sick. i just with teefury had more shirt in various colors; most of them seem to be black
Hey Everyone! Thanks for the positive feedback! And thanks again to CollisionTheory for getting this on teefury. This shirt really came about as a mixture of my love for art and Dali, and spending way too much time on emptees.
Seriously? I love Dali, everyone loves Dali, he was a great artist, but come on! Go to a museum, find some other artists, him and Andy Warhol were not actually the only artists ever to produce something interesting, surprisingly enough.
And zombies? Really played out, that trend needs to be coming to an end just like pirates. I'm going to continue watching zombie movies, but it's time to get over wearing shirts with them, getting them tattooed, or doing parodies of them.
From the side art, you look talented and original, from this design it certainly doesn't look that way.
I. Love. This. Shirt. It's unfortunate I'm seriously out of money right now cuz I'd totally buy it. Oh that and my closet is plenty full of tshirts right now. Great colors. Dali did some cool stuff....weird cool stuff, but cool nonetheless. Loving the colors.
I really really want to buy this. But I already bought one yeasterday so two in a row might be a little too much for me.
Are zombies played out? Sure they are. But does it make this design look less better? not at all. I love the colors but I think the next shirt I buy will not be black.

zombies have been a tshirt staple since the 70s - they aren't going anywhere. Have you been to emptees ever?
This is so awesome! I want it, but based on teefury's previous shirts... This will be heavy plastisol and not water based or soft hand will it? :( Anyway, concept and art are effing cool! :D
Magnificent colors, magnificent Dali... and lets face it - zombies kicks ass. Its all bloody awesome. The work to the right is equally thrilling, i'd aspecially buy the second and the third.

Brilliant!
Look at the link in the comment above yours if you want to purchase the design second from the top. Here it is again:
The Psychology of black: black is the new navy.
black is a multi-dimensional color that can mean classic or new.
black has an ominous characteristic symbolizing death.
if you wear all black, does that mean you're goth?
black has an air of intelligence (graduation robes), marked with rebellion (the bad guy), shrouded in mystery (space).
once you go black you never go back.
I own a very nice boxed set of hardcover books containing the complete known works of Salvador Dali. In addition, I have a first edition printing of "The Jerusalem Bible" illustrated by Dali, and The Tarot Universal Dali. Although I know he's passed on and has been among the dearly departed for some time, I can't bear the notion of wearing a corpse version of one of my favorite artists.
However, the shirt is AWESOME and I'm sure that those who do buy it will enjoy it immensely. Incidentally, another artist's interpretation of this very same pose that I think is stunning can be found at www.connieredd.com/polygonzo/salvadordali.jpg.
I think it looks great, but the teal-ish color scheme detracts from the fierceness of the zombie. It's like "Grrr... I'm Zombie Dali in search of care bears and unicorns."

Destino is amazing! Yes, gotta love that set of Double-D's ;)
If you're into zombies, check out a friend of mine's zombie merchandise site: kingzombie.com. The "My zombie ate your honor student" bumper sticker is worth having. :)
Words from the curator: Dali zombie? Why not, he's the same guy who created a "skull" out of naked women. I'm pretty sure he won't be rolling on his grave if he sees this.
Tell us about this design: One day I stumbled upon a picture of Salvador, one of my favorite artists, and decided that for fun I would give it a little zombie flavor. The pic was just so eery and piercing. It started off as more of a personal exercise, and then I realized people dug it, and here it on teefury!
If Dali was alive to see your re-interpretation of him, what do you think he would say? I really don't know, but I would hope it would be somewhere along the lines of "thanks, bro."
Dali vs. Picasso, fight to the death, who would win? I really can't bet against a man with a mustache like Dali's, but if they were fighting with paintbrushes the winner is Picasso by far. I expect any battle between them would end in some weird abstact rip in the space time continuum.
Anything new with you ever since your first Teefury shirt? Not much has changed since teefury round 1. I keep cranking out designs when I get a break from work, and have really just been focused on that, fixing up my new house, and spending some QT with my wife.
Any shout outs? A big HOLLLLAAA to eveyone at Real Art for always supporting my crazy tee-dreams, my beautiful wife who always puts up with the inordinate time I spend in front of my iMac, you guys at teefury for the chance to redeem myself after last time, and the Lord for his always apparent blessings.
