woo pirates

This is amazing!!!

!!! LOVE!!!

I don't get it.

This shirt is epic! I love me some corsair action! The seagull on the side is awesome.

im on a boat.
and this design is great :]

It is a boat. In the ocean. For people who like boats. And the ocean.

Also, it looks rad ;)

I like the old pirate-y feel, but this design looks kind of bland on white and natural to me :/

i would soooo love to have this.
I'll sleep on it.

I love PIrates!

It reminds me of a tattoo that a sailer would get.

Love it.

Love it.

It does look like a sailor tattoo, blondie. If only the guy's shirt was on white and not natural. Eat that MJ! :P

Your Space Junk design is wonderful.

Love it.

Exactly what I thought.

Too bad I cannot get this

yarrsome!

kgvect said: I don't get it.

Thanks for putting up a tee once in a while where there doesn't have to be something to "get". Nice job Kristen

Hmmm,.. yea, just can't get into this style even when someone approaches it with the whole "I wanted to pay tribute to this style" thing.
I agree, the swallows hurt to look at because of the cliche factor.
I think if you would have made something in the piece somewhat unique then at least it would be a new take on the imagery.
Maybe lightning bolts from the clouds,... like the one on your face:), then the "Til Death We Sail" might have more meaning/impact...

kgvect said: I don't get it.

facepalm... not only does the artist explain the thought behind it, but the meaning isn't that deep, there isn't anything to "get"

Nice job on the design :D I do love that you dont have to know a meaning to have a nice illustration. The swallows are classic tattoo, so you have my approval!
keep up the good work!

Wow, this is almost worth buying on Gildan. Almost.

I really like this design.

This looks like the picture has it on the "silver" shirt not the cream looking natural shirt. I would prefer it on the silver to the natural. I got a natural one before, with the lion head and the shirt is really rough. Did TF previously print on better quality softer shirts and have since switched to Gildan's that are rougher?

I really want this shirt. I have to check my funds. I'm with Kristen on the anti Ed Hardy thing.

Isn't Ed Hardy part of a tag team in WWE?

I dig this artist more for despising Ed Hardy. I truly feel that Ed Hardy RUINED the old tattoo style art. My younger sister equates ALL tattoos to Ed Hardy and it makes my soul die a little every time.

Kris: Art is great. Style is great. Shading is great. I just wish the flag had been a little more interesting.

Now that I think of it...it reminds me of like.. Sailor Jerry... which is a good thing.

The man and the rum.

My birthday is friday... who wants to make this my present?

that tatoo on my chest will make a pirate for sure! arrgghh!

I like the boat, I don't think I'd but the shirt though. The sea gull in that picture just makes me want to write a story, I love it!

Man, I love the ocean and anything that has to do with it. I've always wanted to be a pirate, maybe this will curb my desire for now...

really like this design a lot! clean, simple, classic. there's no joke that needs to be explained or a dated pop culture reference that needs to be justified. just a cool t-shirt.

meow, seems kinda dull, not as fun and whimsical as the artist's other pieces. I'd like to see this artist give it another go.

this looks eerily like a tattoo a friend of mine just got
i really like it though

in for 2. my dad taught me how to sail so i'm gonna get him one as well.

Being a commercial fisherman in Alaska I can definitely relate to "the death we sail". Given I don't have a sailboat, but anyone who has been on open waters knows how dangerous it can be. At the age of 17 I can say that I have legitimately almost died a few times in my life, most people can't even say that when they're 50 years old.

sorry, "til death we sail"

cool. interesting concept but ed hardy anyone?

it seems like ed hardy has ruined the traditional tattoo style for everyone. that's a shame. while i don't really like ed hardy stuff, i've definitely seen many really well done pieces using this same style.

I do like the anchor in the original in your portfolio.

I think we should do elbow drops on Ed Hardy from the top rope and win back those WWE titles! Who's with me brother!

mmm, tattoojizzalicious. i want. may buy tomorrow morn if i have the $$$.

also, don't say ed hardy just because it has some tattoo inspired designs...

What the shirt does, it does well. What it does isn't particularly for me, but that's just me being particular.

or maybe it's peculiar...

>_>

It's like Drinky Crow, Ed Hardy and Flapjack had a baby! Or a background artist. The simplicity is cute tho albeit not cute enough for this purveyor of cute :P Also, it seems like something is missing, like it needs a focal point other than the ship. I like the facebook comment about Pirate Bay :))

Big, huge, crazy-sick awesome talent. So unique! And beautiful website, too.

I like the space one on the side :)

Great design.

The anchor was removed.
...

For those who would like to know what I mean:

i love flash style art and i love pirates
this is a win for me

Haha I'm with you BROTHER!! Whose ready for the SHOWDOWN!!!

Boo Ed Hardy!!!! I couldn't agree with someone more.

Nice design, just not for me. I love the side banner too! Its a nice COMBO!!

I love the design, and I'd have bought it in a minute if it wasn't on such light colour options. I think it looks a little bit washed out. If it were on really bright colours I think this would be great.
I would totally buy something with the seagull.

By the way, GREAT PORTFOLIO!!! TEEFURY CHECK OUT HIS PORTFOLIO AND PRINT SOME OF THOSE TOO!!!!

JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE!!

I would totally buy this if it could get to me in time to wear on my cruise which departs Monday!! I doubt that's possible though. Great design! Yaarrrr!

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Euphoria said: cool. interesting concept but ed hardy anyone?

Oh please.

Irie said: also, don't say ed hardy just because it has some tattoo inspired designs...

No Doubt. My god.

tight shirt

looks great

really nice design, but i'll have to pass on this because of the natural color. the last two shirts i bought from here were on natural

I really like the design, but not on a shirt. At least not for me. It is something that I would buy as a print though and hang in my guest room happily.

Just bought one. Like the Ship design. Also like "Til Death We Sail"... good job sir!

'm Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both til' and 'til are incorrect and annoying to see. SO MANY people make this mistake. They think they are shortening "until," but the English language already includes the preposition "till" in its vernacular, so there is never a need to shorten "until" with a dump apostrophe. In fact, any dictionary will tell you that till and until are interchangeable. I don't get why people think this is correct. The shirt should say "Till death we sail."

And that is why I will not buy this shirt.

To prove my point:

Ah, but the side art is killer though.

i think it just comes down to the fact that it is not common knowledge that "till" is the appropiate word to use. my entire life i thought "til" was the proper word to use right up until now that you informed everyone, so thank you i will spread the word so to speak.

"Till Death we Sail" would look weird, I think. Plus I don't think they had dictionaries back in the day of pirates (though there are still pirates today!!) He probably wrote it as a sailor would! Just a thought!

Thanks for the English lesson though!

Liking the light soft colors and nice placement! Congradtz!

I love it!!!! Im buyin it right now hahaha!!! ARGH!!!

Til' and 'til are both fine; I don't need a dictionary to tell me so.

Til' = Till. 'til = Until. The shortened versions might not be proper, but they are not 'incorrect'.

(Feel free to point out all of my grammar mistakes while telling me how wrong this is. It's like a game!)

Liking the shirt either way; would buy on white. How come guys never get the good color?

Don Ed Hardy and Sailor Jerry are practically the same - I mean, they're not, but, as Hardy apprenticed under Sailor Jerry, its dumb to say one is better than the other. Especially since most of Hardy's flash is based off of - or is - Sailor Jerry's. There are a TON of tattoo-ers that worked in this style, Sailor Jerry just became well-known.

All that to say, I think this art definitely pulls off that style. I think the type would be better if it were hand-drawn (or, if it is, not based off of Sailor Jerry's basic lettering). It's still an awesome shirt, though! Great work.

I agree with the artist... I hate Ed Hardy too. This won't be a buy for me though because I have a lot of traditional style shirts from Heroine Clothing already.

You really care about "till" that much? I don't pirates do... I'm guessing you aren't a pirate. (I'm sorry if there are any grammar errors in my comment, I know how much the misuse of the English language upsets you.)

don't think pirates do*

great work

Their tattoo designs may be strikingly similar, but their T-shirt designs differ pretty tremendously. I think that Ed Hardy shirts are pretty cheesy, over-designed messes, while Sailor Jerry's design stick to the style he portrays in his tattoos. Also, Sailor Jerry sticks to the pirate theme by selling Rum, while Ed Hardy sells cologne... I don't think its that dumb to say one is better than the other.

This shirt seems to me to be more like a Sailor Jerry shirt, because the focus is on the ship and phrase, and not part of some indistinct mess.

Amen to that.

Awesome shirt. But, I already bought yesterday's. :[

Ok after googling both and seeing what each is about I agree with this. Ed Hardy seems ghetto fabulous like someone graffitid your clothes.

Haha, no, I'm not a pirate, but I am an editor, so yes, the misuse of the English language does upset me, although I would say "upset" isn't exactly the right term. It's more like fingernails down a chalkboard, a big empty chalkboard in an English classroom, where they apparently aren't teaching children correct grammar and usage these days. :P

Your "Til' = till" argument doesn't even make sense. If the point of the apostrophe (though wrong on all accounts) is to shorten the word, why bother in this case? It is still the same monosyllabic word.

I'm not sure I understand your distinction between improper and incorrect. Both shortened versions are most certainly improper and have only been made "correct" because of the general population's disinterest in, and blatant disregard of, using their language correctly. So these shortened versions have become matriculated into our speech and made to seem correct, when really they are not. :)

Anyway, my point is not to poke at everyone's grammar mistakes but rather just to mention that this shirt is made less desirable for me personally because of its striking grammar error. That's all. :) But again, love the artwork.

T-Shirts: Serious business.

Ha ha
I love how much old sailor designs churn up the waters (lame pun!)!
And to set the record straight till IS the correct way of spelling it. But you can abbreviate any word in the English language with a ' which I wanted toadd in to get a bit of urgency and accent in there.
Thanks for the comments everyone :)!

So its kind of till abbreviated to til'
until abbreviated would be 'til

I've enjoyed the english class. When's recess?

awesome... but I have a rule.. white tees with print and crew neck is a sooooo not cool and even though the print is sick being uncool is so not sick. Print that bad boy on something else and I am all about it

carly18 said: ....[edited for length]

Fun. :D Wonder how many words here evolved from 'incorrect' use of language in the past.. I embrace it, myself. Using "til'" instead of "till" is only pointless when looking at it from a mathematical stance. As to the distinction between proper and correct - we just have differing perspectives. These terms are neither correct nor incorrect; but they are improper. Like an old sailor.

this is perfect.

when can we get a captain swoop tee, i love how his wing is shaved to show his tattoo. so funny

I wish I knew grammar guy in real life, he seems pretty useful to have around.

Cool side art

Nice side art =]
