AWESOME! Star Wars Finally.

Great design.

i am personally not a fan of this tshirt, et as a graphic designer, this art is respectable.

I want a poster of the American Splendor artwork.

eh. i prefer the raining circles. i'd much prefer to have that on a t-shirt.

Looking at all the detail that goes into the portraits, kinda wished that this did as well.

art week is over

Cute design otherwise though. I shall get 1st comment next time! BWAHAHAhahah. . .

I like the concept all except for the Mickey pants. They seem distracting and redundant. I really really dig all the rest of the work, though.

AWE... (wait for it) SOME!

Think I'm gonna make this my 2nd Star Wars Tee Fury shirt!

one of those times where you wonder who in the world chose this design over all the exponentially better ones on the side.

That's already available as a shirt at Design By Humans :)

definite seller... specially star war fans with kids... cool design

KHAAAAAAAN the man

Love it... but I'm gonna have to skip this one.

Agreed.

that actually was printed on a t at http://www.designbyhumans.com/ (about a year ago i think)

haha sorry totally didnt see that someone said the same thing i did.
sorry guys.
and sorry for this double post

Nice Shirt! If I had money I would probably buy it...which reminds me of something else...

As anyone seen Suicide Mouse.avi before? The story behind the supposed original is quite horrifying (and plays into the evil empire theme). Not to mention the remake on YouTube is still pretty creepy even if it isn't the real thing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWPbnwsIeE

And just read the information at the side of the video, I believe it has the story. Oh and this is your official warning...THIS IS KINDA CREEPY STUFF! I know I got weirded out by it.

I love it. Disney and Star Wars are two of my favourite things. May buy it.

But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the "American Splendor" art on the side. That is one of my favourite movies, ever. That is....so beautiful. :D

I have mixed feelings about this. Gonna have to sleep on it. Although I do like the Jason Voorhees side art

So funny.

I have huge respect for Oliver's work :) I however find this silhouette a bit off-proportion. The work would have been first-base if it weren't for the pants :) Rock on :)

oh it's been so long since we've had a star wars shirt here. i wasn't sure how i could continue on without one.

This is totally groovy, but I've been itchin' for that Voorhees Stardust ever since I saw it.

im a star wars fun but just crossing two popular icons this way seems some what lazy :/

cool concept and nice art.. just not that eye catching as a tee

Don't care much for the shirt design, but even if I did, can't see buying one from a guy who doesn't even like designing them. Pass.

Oh yah!! So buying!!

Hahahahahahahaha. This is a joke right? Right?

Yeah! Star Wars!

trustxjunkie said: eh. i prefer the raining circles. i'd much prefer to have that on a t-shirt.

same...

...yeah not crazy about this shirt, though i can see the appeal. I really like the middle two side art though.

love the man with the umbrella side art

I always thought this was very funny.

I like the idea overall, but I agree with the other postings, stating that the shorts throw this out of whack. What I think may have tied in the shorts better, is if the yellow clog looking shoes were included.

$tar Wars $ells!!!

This guy really doesn't know how to reach an audiance. What he said was extremly offputting and I don't think I will ever buy anything from him.

^this

malix said: im a star wars fun but just crossing two popular icons this way seems some what lazy :/

uuuhhh...Disney owns Star Wars n00b. It's not lazy...these two concepts are mixed all the time at Disneyland. Just the shirt to wear at the park :] I'm dreading the whole Marvel thing though :[

^ It is a joke. He is obviously being sarcastic and bitter on purpose. Not that I find it funny or anything, but don't take everything at face value.

It is a decent design, just ... eh, feels like it is lacking something to spice it up. It needs a twist... something that makes you go "ahh!" It is just too obvious as is.

Also, WHERE IS THE ARCHIVE! BRING IT BACK!

^^ Ninja'd my comment. :-/

The shirt is simply great; ALL of the side work is amazing as well. Especially Ziggy.

Bought

But also love the side art. Especially the middle two. I strongly request those two in future T-shirts as i would def buy

BOUGHT great design!

Simple and nice!

At least he's honest!

Also: please no more powder blue lady shirts. Please.

definite no. i'm a hardcore star wars fangirl but i'm not down with mixing vader and mickey mouse. i'll stick with the other star wars shirts i've gotten on teefury (the plaid vader one and the terminated march mash-up)

I want a WOOKIEE shirt

wondermilk said: one of those times where you wonder who in the world chose this design over all the exponentially better ones on the side.

Sometimes I think the same thing, wondermilk. I guess it boils down to a balance somewhere between having such a rich supply of designs VS the multitude of tastes among the viewers. Nature vs nurture, technology, age, media, demographics...even the preferences of the different genders is sometimes getting harder for me to predict. At least we're blessed with the rights to express ourselves with the arts, to choose what we like and enjoy and to discuss it all in an open forum without worrying about being punished.

KHAAAAAAAN.....how the hell did I get going on THAT track? Someone please kick this soap box out from under my feet!
Back to this shirt design: I really don't like this nor do I understand its popularity. It looks like it could have been whipped up in a matter of minutes. And what's with the stupid pants that several have complained about? I agree with them: STUPID. I certainly would vote for dozens more of the other designs before requesting that this one gets printed.
That being said, I want to congratulate the designer on the printing and I hope that those customers who order the shirts are happy with their choice.

Love the raining circles! Would buy that in a heartbeat!

Im not a star wars guy at all but the design is cool, i would love the genocide hockey mask on a shirt though!

Love Star Wars, put the pants ruin it for me.

but*

This design is great! Thanks for the laugh.

Interesting.

I can't wear the Mouse.

Funny, when I saw this I thought it said 'Pander Mouse'!

Its sold out except for size 2x ....

I think vader would wonder why he is being associated with Mickey mouse. Yes, Disney is evil...but really? Mickey mouse is perhaps the most annoying icon out of Disney. And didn't someone do a Mickey shirt last month that had a similar Disney is evil theme? Is there NO other way to show this concept than with that aweful mouse?! Please, someone, no more Mickey mouse.

blahzach said: I want a poster of the American Splendor artwork.

Me too! The last piece on the side is also gorgeous.

i love it, i want it, but i'm not down with the light blue :(

Man, I've been following teefury for a while, but this past week or two i havent liked almost any of the shirts... Look at the sideart? why not choose the colorful like umbrella man? ah well

Dear Teefury,

If you ever put a shirt like this up again, where so many are against buying it, perhaps you should offer a teefury related one. How about a "Where is the archive?" t-shirt? that alone would have been a better choice then a silly starwars/mickey combo.

Love,
Katy.

Kids Sizes!

Seriously?

i love disney and i love star wars, but not like this :/ oh well... until next star wars shirt

Like the Wars, like the Mouse. Don't like this. It's just kinda boring.

I'd get the Concentric Downpour on that site, but it's sold out of everything except a 2X in guys.... and that won't fit me.

See, if you love Disney or the Mouse, then you really wouldn't appreciate this shirt. As one not in love with the Evil Empire Disney, I really like this shirt.

fantastic tee!
loving the side art too.

No dice.
I haven't even been tempted to buy a shirt since "it's not lupas"...
WTF teefury?

Love how Mickey's shorts just jump up and slap you with the joke.

Wow the last shirt I saw get this much flak was the "Dead Inside" one from a couple months ago...

I like the shirt but not so much on the blue background.....maybe a white shirt would have made me buy it ..... great design though

LOVE IT! JUST BOUGHT ONE- THANX!

Did this guy diss Tees more than once?

The Mickey pants seem out of place to me.

The hockey mask in the sideart is awesome though.

HOLY Voyager! THIS IS NOT FAIR! I have told myself to limit...uh...myself to 1 teefury shirt a week. I am trying really hard to keep this resolution. Its only Tuesday.... Fail. AWESOME SHIRT!

whoops.. I swore. Sorry TeeFury! I like the substitution of 'Voyager' though. I am using that from now on!

The side art is awesome especially the last one :)

Hate it. Sloppy and amateurish.

HA! Ok, that's pretty funny.

Also like the powder blue lady's shirt- though I may be biased being a redhead.

what does one do to actually try to win anything based on the newsletter?

Not crazy about the featured shirt, but love the raining circles/umbrella side art.

nubish said: what does one do to actually try to win anything based on the newsletter?

Open the newsletter as quickly as you can- that's all you need to do! We can see when the newsletter is opened and by who, and that is how winners are selected.

The design is alright. I think it would be better if it were bigger though and if it went all the way to the bottom of the shirt :)

lol so cool

I demand the archive. Bring it back.

lolz, ths is da bst shirt eva. ZOMG! I lUV it!

That's dangerous - you aren't allowed to speak your mind here! Unless you are singing praises of the design that is...

Sounds like you should read the Posting Guidelines. Constructive criticism has always been allowed, random insults are not. If you dislike something, say why.

side art with the umbrella is very cool

Might as well add the huge yellow shoes.

I have a pair of boxers just like yours Darth! The portraits in the portfolio are great. They've got a flavour of the french graffiti artist C215 - very nice indeed.

This shirt totally reminds me of when you enter the gift shop after the star tours ride @ disneyland....they have all these stuffed disney characters dressed like star wars characters....

It is apparent how little effort the artist put into this design. T-shirts may stop fitting, get spilled on and wear out; yet they can become more personal and special than album artwork is ever capable of being.

is it me or some of these shirts they print of says 100% cotton on the tag but they feel like hard paper? =_=

Star Wars, the goto bring it back. Good stuff.

I dunno, it looks like it was designed in paint. I know art is art, but this is just cheesy-looking. Maybe if it were hand-drawn like the rest of the side art. Plus, Darth Mickey on powder blue clashes. Should be on the silver shirt like the guy's version.

Love the side art!

Haven't bought a tee from this site since October....I've checked it everyday aswell!

matt2kool said: art week is over

Yeah :| I spent a lot of money during art week. Hint. Hint.

Anyway, I like the face art on the side. Reminds me vaguely of Da Vinci's face studies.

laurslore said: It is apparent how little effort the artist put into this design. T-shirts may stop fitting, get spilled on and wear out; yet they can become more personal and special than album artwork is ever capable of being.

I actually think I have a more personal connection to my record covers than I do to shirts...

IRRELEVANT. Now that I've read the interview, you can tell how little effort the designer took in making it. It's easier to design for things you don't hate.

reborn291 said: Wow the last shirt I saw get this much flak was the "Dead Inside" one from a couple months ago...

Oh yeah,

NEVER FORGET 8I

Great concept Oliver Barrett. Nice to have someone of your artistic ability submit. Thanks!

Just racked up another buy!

Stexe said: ^

ARGH! Frickin' TeeFury won't listen to me. For serious, we'd all buy a shirt that is desperately seeking the archive.

ada said: Might as well add the huge yellow shoes.

The Mickey shorts probably wouldn't look so stark if those shoes were there...

Edgearmy said: I demand the archive. Bring it back.

Again TeeFury, AGAIN. Why didn't you slogan-contest-running poo heads listen to me????

I believe it is the artist/designer that chooses which of their designs to submit for possible print.

It is. That's what makes the daily hate on TeeFury curators so hilariously misguided. :\

Yes. And I'm surprised you didn't use "srsly". Good for you :)

Those portraits in the side art just blow me away, they are totally awesome. Fantastic work Mr. Barrett!

Teefury, I'm afraid this will be my last visit. You put a note in the side saying "art curated by..." but where is the art? Teasers in the sidebar? This shirt is Darth Vader with Mickey Mouse pants. That's not art. I'm having a hard time believing it even generates money. I don't know if you're just too busy working with DBH or what, but I haven't seen a true piece of art on this site for a while now.

As you can clearly see by many of the comments here, and you would see even more if the archives were still up, people are not happy with what you're producing. This is an offense to artists and even the cotton you print shirts on. And when people speak up and say that they're not happy.. the same people that have gotten you this far, spending tens, even hundreds of dollars on your shirts, those comments get deleted?

I'm sorry, but that's just bad policy. I can't willfully support a system like that, and I have no doubt other people feel the same way.

I'm sure this comment will be deleted very shortly, but I really hope at some point you reconsider your business standards. The site had a great reputation [and follow through] at one point... I really don't know what happened.

This is perfect for a T-shirt. I'd love to buy one but between Disney and Star Wars I don't have any money left to afford a T-shirt!:)

Guys, let's use a little common sense. He couldn't have used any of the sideart because it's either being sold elsewhere or was made for a specific event or company. In other words, he may not retain the rights for them, but is allowed to display them.

Why this design then? My guess would be he had a sketch laying about, or he made it for something else that never got used. Why not make a little cash on something that is otherwise collecting dust?

Why not another portrait, that would obviously sell well? Well, I'm sure those portraits aren't too easy to pump out. The time it would take to make a new portrait vs the cash received from one day of selling just would not be efficient.

But what of your DAILY complaints? Just tone it down, really. It's one thing to voice your opinion, but it's entirely another thing to attack the company providing for you. If you don't like it, don't buy it! It's impossible to appeal to EVERY person's taste each and every day. If you'd read the comments, there ARE some people who like this shirt. Take a chill pill and wait for tomorrow!

I don't think it's an offense to artists, and I complain on here nearly every day but really if you think on it, there's 365 days a year. That is a lot of art to get on these shirts and I bet there's slow times where there's slim pickins on artwork to print.

I'm not sure about the "people aren't happy with [the site]" since I'm sure for every person that feels they need to comment to complain about the tee, there are many more who simply buy the shirt without ever having logged in. I for one don't really have a problem with the "direction" TeeFury is going. I buy one every month and a half or so and that's just fine with me.

And finally, enough about the godd*mn archive. We know it's gone. Every day the same f*cking people say it's gone. You can't tell me how "oh if we had the archive we could know if people complained about it" NO. IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE. I'm sure someone at TeeFury is on it.

Nicnik3 said: AWESOME! Star Wars Finally.

yeah but star wars and disney??? tsk tsk

Nice artwork. I really want the Ziggy/Jason art on a T-shirt.

Do not enjoy the shirt however, I like the umbrella man very cool.

Can you imagine mickeys voice on a darth vader voice changing filter...kinda creepy

this is a great idea!
however, i think it should be positioned more effectively and on a different color of shirt...

perhaps a red or yellow...
hmmm

Seemed like the designer cared more about the money he was making off of the shirt than anything else. Feels sloppy and the red pants are too distracting.
