lol

awww throwing stars really

aw aw! i never saw ninja turtles as a kid but this is precious.

cool.
funny.

But what's his name?

Ethical Sin said: But what's his name?

Botticelli. He painted the famous "Birth of Venus."

Ethical Sin said: But what's his name?

i assume botticeli is his name. great art my bros a big tmnt fan i might pick one up for him.

amazeballs.

Oh my god if it actually said Botticelli on it I would buy it in a heartbeat, but now I need to think it over.

l. o. l.

=D

Ethical Sin said: But what's his name?

Botticelli?

And I love TMNT! But I didn't know who this Botticelli fellow was at first.

oh. oh my god. oh my god.

i'm a HUGE old school TMNT fan... i can't believe i'm going to get ANOTHER shirt... this site is going to kill my wallet soon.

How is everyone coming up with Botticelli at the same time? Is he like the only famous italian painter that is not already a turtle?

very unique this is a winner

Oh, wow, it's the title of the shirt. I'm dumb.

I wish the logo and skin were different colours, but otherwise sweet.

Raphael, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo. So, Botticelli makes perfect sense. Funny.

Cool shirt!

I fricken LOVE the first shirt on the side, is it available anywhere? It reminds me of The Thing from Another World!

Thanks. In hindsight though I should've put "Sandro" instead, because the other turtles are named after the artist's first names not their last names, haha.

Yes it is, it's sold out in most sizes though so I hope you're not tiny http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/detail/5304

lol, love it :D

this is funny and I loved the this show as a kid, but i would never wear it on a shirt.

I HAVE SWORN TO BUY EVERY NINJA TURTLE SHIRT POSTED HERE.
BOUGHT.

awesome, truly awesome

this is super great!

Funny shirt. The concept has been done before.

This design is way better though.

Hahaha, dang, it's even called Botticelli, I thought I was clever for that part. I like that person's take on it though.

WELL I'D NEVER WEAR YOU ON A SHIRT! SO THERE! XP

Stay tuned, it's happening soon ;)

i would like godzilla tees plz

I'd buy that top side Tee in a sec.

Wow, it's cool. Thestray

I agree, I wish it said Botticelli somewhere -on- it... as it is, nobody would get it :/ it's not fun to have to explain a shirt.

And it's yellow.

Other than that, great design.

I don't understand. I don't see why you'd have to explain anything. It says "The Forgotten Turtle" and features a never seen before meek little anthropomorphic turtle on it... that's the joke, haha. The name is just icing, it's not like Sandro Botticelli is a household name, I think you'd actually have to explain more if it DID have the name, haha. "Why Botticelli? Who is that? Why not Picaso or Rembrandt or something?"
Hey, worst case scenario you might have a conversation about TMNT or italian painters because of the shirt :)

genius.

dear the stray, your designs never fail to put me in awe.

Now what is with the glasses I wonder?

This design is awesome... awesome....

But I must say that the artwork is very cool and the idea clever, even though someone else had the idea earlier. That doesn't matter to me. Keep up the great work, thestray. I've admired your earlier work.

reipsadeus said: Now what is with the glasses I wonder?

Poor fella has poor eyesight.

you really shouldn't be throwing stars with bad eye sight...lol


think fast!

Raphael vs Raizo (Ninja Assassin) who wins?

nooooway that shirts SO SICK!!!

I actually haven't seen Ninja Assassin yet. I'm going to go with Raphael though, he's a turtle, he has the benefit of ducking into that shell.

eh, not my thing. But I like the icon with the 3-headed bear ;)

I didn't understand the shirt at all until I read the comments. Fun in-joke I guess. But I'd rather not have to explain my shirt to everyone.

I don't understand. Never in my life has anyone asked me to explain a tshirt's meaning.

Speckled Biscuit said: I didn't understand the shirt at all until I read the comments. Fun in-joke I guess. But I'd rather not have to explain my shirt to everyone.

yeah I agree with this. I love TMNT but I'm afraid no one will get it as I didn't even get it.

Speckled Biscuit said: I didn't understand the shirt at all until I read the comments. Fun in-joke I guess. But I'd rather not have to explain my shirt to everyone.

Haha, well like most exploding-bacteria related designs it plays to people who are a fan of or at least aware of the reference. So if one is familiar with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles there's nothing that needs explaining.

You guys are killing me, haha. What did you not get?

I really like it.
I feel people here lack imagination sometimes
Its a tee shirt with a ninja turtle on....its not brain surgery!
:) IMHO anyway!

Too bad I no money at alllll :(

Yeah I own every TMNT spoofalicious shirt I've seen up until now (though I still can't get my hands on the GoApe Shredder Got To Michaelangelo). But though the art on this is good I just find the idea and "joke" pretty uninspiring.

Sweet shirt. I'm still waiting to see if I get my grab bag shirt before I keep buying.

Why are all if not most of the models thin young white people?

Can't please em all. Inspires me, haha, it's more than a joke, it's like you can look at him and imagine his whole story, his earnestness, his eagerness to prove himself as a ninja despite his shortcomings, haha.

funny shirt design

the side art is nice

snarkygal said: I don't understand. Never in my life has anyone asked me to explain a tshirt's meaning.

Ive been asked to explain my soylent green zombie shirt (they hadnt even heard of the movie)

I don't get it :) Is that the forgotten mutant turtle or something? Where's his pizza? LOL. Love the shirt. May get it for my son since he's a huge fan of the older and newer TMNT movies.

Cute idea but I'm not digging the art (his left hand/leg is way too awkward) and it being printed on a white tee is a deal breaker for me.

Definitely digging the third shirt on the side though ^^"""

(I hate sounding mean when I don't mean to be >

I get it ;3 I like the name you picked for him too ...

This dude is getting really bent out of shape that no one understands his design.

I thought it was humorous, but there's one little problem. I managed a movie theater in the late 80's early 90's, and we opened the TMNT movie. During the opening showing of the movie, the TMNT video game was delivered to our theater. We had both for the entire run of the movie. I'm afraid there's no way I will be wearing anything turtles related.

Besides, I liked the comics version of them before it got tamed down for television.

Haven't bought in ages. For a reason.

Then you haven't been checking daily. Obviously.

funny the past few days have been art shirts...

I love the idea here The Stray. But, like I said on FB, me no likey yellow shirt. Too much color. The white shirt shows off the design so much better. And no, I'm
not just complaining about shirt color, I'm only
mentioning it from a design perspective.

And I love that you went with boticelli! Great call on that one, Dude!
Totally bodacious.

Admin feel free to correct my spelling since I'm a nimwit. Grumbles.

Haha, I love it. I'm trying to decide between buying one for just me, or getting a second one for my friend who's an absolute TMNT fangirl.

_{I think I've finally come to terms with how I'm going to go broke because of this site.}

Nicely done! haha

This shirt is AWESOME, love the concept!

raysfan4life said: the side art is nice

Just wanted to say GO RAYS!!!

I swear i'm never buying another tshirt in a store again

Cool shirt, but I've been buying so many I don't know if I can dish out the cash for this one. I also love the 1st design in the side art.

Niceness.

best response ever.

I wish you had youth sizes because my little guy would love this!

Great idea and execution. His skin looks awesome, and his weapon is far superior

nviccione said: This dude is getting really bent out of shape that no one understands his design.

Haha, "This dude's" shape is UNBENDABLE! Don't mistake my inclination to debate as a sour attitude, if I have a difference of opinion I'm not shy about it. I like mixing it up with the Teefurians here.

But just so we're clear, if anyone says they don't understand it again, they're getting Steven Seagaled in the armpit! There's nerve clusters in there, that's going to hurt!

dear christianasaur,

;)

yours more trulier than the truliest truth.

Well I think it's inspired. sock on that Nviccione.

And since I can't spell today and apparently can't delete my previous post either I shall hang my head in shame... Dagnabbit!

Haha, you can spell. That's just Teefury's wordfilter.

Salvador would have been a better name.

Well this is totally getting purchased! I have every turtles shirt TeeFury has done but don't wear any of them...due to working on finishing up my ninja turtles sleeve....would just be over the top.

Well we all knew what I meant anyway. Well done!

I laughed out loud when I saw this! Amazing!

It should say Botticelli.

And no, Salvador would've been a horrible choice considering Dali is a 20th century artist... "one of these things is not like the others."

thestray, love it as always. Keep up the good work.

thestray i can say this for a fact this is the first shirt of the day that i not only love the shirt all the side art is amazing as well looking forward to more of your designs.

This will be my first purchase...but I can't pass it up. The nerdy glasses make this for me!

And I don't care if people need it to be explained. I'll make up a full story for Botticelli so they think they've missed out on a comic or something.

I wish this were in banana for guys too

Wow! Amazing! Such great controvertial discussions and attitudes arising from the presentation of a single, cool t-shirt design. God Bless Capitalism! And God bless TeeFury for allowing the free exchange of our ideas and the expressions of our impressions.

What a great t-shirt!

Thanks. In hindsight though I should've put "Sandro" instead, because the other turtles are named after the artist's first names not their last names, haha.

But since Da Vinci just means of Vinci Leonardo Da Vinci only has one name and thus it is his first and last.

Thank god for art history class when th teacher flipped out on us about or I wouldn't have caught that.

Thestray:

I love your interview and how you seem to be one of 2 or 3 artists that actually mingle with the members when your designs get printed. I think art ought to be discussed, not just consumed. And even though I've bought a few of your shirts in the past, I will have to pass on this one because, despite the fact that I like the concept, I try to stay away from "funny" shirts. I've noticed that when the joke gets old with me I stop wearing it. But, had I not had this revelation yet, I probably would've gotten it for myself. I considered getting it from my boyfriend since he likes TMNT, but decided against it because he's not educated in art and "wouldn't get it" as others here claim. He might be a bit worse than the rest though because, before he met me, he had no idea ANY of the turtles were named after artists. How weird is that?!? Anyway, I definitely wanna see more art shirts from you! A billion is a good goal, can't wait to see what you come up with. 8D

Yes, Firecoral.
TheStray is a real human being.
Have talked with him on a few t sites. Just chitter chatter.
But very humble and a very nice guy.

Gawd you're so funny, you goofball. :)

I put my face on a shirt and it didn't sell very well.

maybe its just me but... what is there to not get?

Cowabunga indeed!! He does look a little meek, but he can still fling that Dancin I'm sure.

Thanks everyone who's bought one thus far, really appreciate it. Maybe buy another one, just in case the one you bought gets ruined in some kind of ninjuitsu altercation or something. You never know.

It's a cute shirt but I bought yesterday's so I'm going to have to pass. Great work though and I love the side art! :D

thestray I think that even though your three headed bear shirt didn't print on DBH, it still makes the most memorable icons i'v seen and so whenever i browse around the shirt websites your comments/shirts etc.. always stick out. And I think my favorite part about this shirt is the weapon choice.

nviccione said: This dude is getting really bent out of shape that no one understands his design.

Actually I though he was being amazingly polite seeing as some people are just outright crapping on his work.

The Last Ninja: The Quest for Contact Lenses. The story of this guy will be epic.

YESSSS.

For years the Dark Lord has been trying to turn the Turltes to Evil.

Has also Teevil?

Haha! Salesman extraordinaire!

First buy, I love it.

Wow, it's awesome

Oh hell yes!But again, no money in my GalacticTreasury account :'(

I can't believe anyone thinks this shirt needs explaining. Great stuff.

This shirt is DOPE, love the Turtles and love the name for this one. Bought without question. Well done thestray!

This is much funnier than it should be because I have a painted turtle named NINJA!

God... in the middle of studying art history right now and started cracking up when I saw this. Not sure if I can bring myself to buy an art history joke though. Great artwork nonetheless

Metrik said: God... in the middle of studying art history right now and started cracking up when I saw this. Not sure if I can bring myself to buy an art history joke though. Great artwork nonetheless

Think of it as a TMNT joke, haha.

No sir, I don't like it. Not that it's bad per se, I'm just not interested in anything with TMNT as the subject matter. The art around the face works, but the rest of the turtle looks like he's made out of glued together asparagus.

Hallucinogenic said: The art around the face works, but the rest of the turtle looks like he's made out of glued together asparagus.

Agreed. A good concept and one I have seen done a few times - but better than this. The details (and any semblance of shading?) on the turtle are, well, lacking at best. Could use a rework, in my opinion.

i think the slightly darker and better shaded version with the brown elbow and knee pads on your blog looks a bit better, but maybe it wouldnt have printed as nicely, i dont know enough about shirt printing.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IQzBYo4Bj6I/Szb8vCRjWmI/AAAAAAAAAGk/6tqg9lAYn4o/s1600-h/botticelli.jpg

either way, TMNT is the best exploding bacteria you can base a shirt on, and i have great memories of watching the show/movies as a kid, and wearing TMNT clothing, so a definite buy!

This gets a well deserved "cowabunga" from me.

Hilarious and beautiful. Reminds me a bit of their other equally unknown brother, Picasso.

Holy Voyager I LOVE this!

Also love how this site substitutes words. That thar is funnay.

Commentbomb.

Great design! I have to show this to my son, he will love it. Or, I could be sneaky and buy it for him...he's got a birthday coming up soon. And he loves all things "turtles".
