Teefury

for anyone who has ever seen the anime "colorful" they will enjoy this as much as i have

hahahaha so epic!

i do like but whats teh bottem part mean

i hope it really does say "janken" i'd hate to run into someone who could read Japanese and ask why my shirt says deep fried moose butts

This looks pretty sweet.

About the art:
It translates to 'Janken' which is the Japanese equivalent to Rock Paper scissors.

Love it, just bought it

would have definitely purchased "The Thing" smoking the cigar in the sideart but this just isn't doing anything for me

greats on the print though

I would so buy the Shaggy one.

Nice now I have to watch that anime. Love the comic side art and the old betty style model.

This game frustrated me as a kid.
This is a no buy for me.
I'm glad this is not another animal shirt though!
Congrats on the print!

So what's teeFury all about anyway?

TeeFury is a place where you will find amazing tees at amazing prices (and occasionally other non-tee things). It's pretty simple - one new SUPER LIMITED-EDITION tee every 24 hours for $9.

Oh really? LIES!

Okay, now I'll leave. I just simply had to point this out first. With that being said, I feel this is a very cool design. I SAY GOOD-DAY!

Not only that anime, but Kaiji as well!

Now we just need some e-card up in this site ;]

To put it quite punny, this tee ROCKS. :)

Hm. If I didn't read the title I'm not sure I would get that it's a "paper scissors rock" reference. Especially since it's not in that order. Plus, I'm not sure what Japanese has anything to do with the game, unless you live in Japan or speak the language. Maybe it originated there or something?

A no for me, but I am a fan of navy blue shirts.

Awesome...

Really nice design, kind of threatening for RPS but I like it. I also like the side art, that first one could totally pass for a Frank Frazetta (I mean that as a compliment) and I LOVE the Shaggy one! Hee hee! Nice work.

THe bottom says Junken. its legit Katakana/japanese

ZooLoo said: ...

ZooLoo, as we've said before, the TeeFury $9 screenprinted version is limited edition. But we're an artist-friendly company, so we let artists keep the rights to their designs. Sometimes that means that the artists choose to use that work on a site like CafePress or RedBubble- where shirts are printed DTG and cost 3x as much.

Our quality and price make us the best source for these excellent designs, but we're happy to see artists still able to profit from their work after their 24 hours at TeeFury is over :)

I'm sure Teefury will have an official response to your post but the 'limited edition' refers to their better quality and cheaper price. I think you'll find that most shirts sold on Teefury have been sold somewhere else previously. Just more expensively and at lesser quality.

i dislike the japanese, especially since it's written in hiragana when in japan they would mix hiragana and kanji

Ok i'll bite. Didn't you announce yesterday you were leaving for good?

Most designs that have been printed on Teefury are available at Red Bubble. The point of difference is that Red Bubble is direct to garment (DTG) digital printing & Teefury is traditional screen printing. Teefury's prints are a 1/3 the price but with far superior print quality & durability.

Good answer, MJ. Love the side art.

*ordered

@zooloo this has been explained several times. limited edition refers to teefury's printing which is a different and higher quality technique than redbubble & many other shirt sites... The artists retain the rights of their artwork, & therefore own rights to print their artwork elsewhere.

Wow, Shaggy is looking hot these days! I'd love a print of that.

Chris is one of the most talented artist on here but this design jsut isnt for me. keep making bad ass art chris.

Artist keep the rights to their shirts, meaning they can sell them at on other sites. This has been stated 10 million times.

So... Are you leaving, or are you going to continue to try and make a "point" where there are none to be made.

cool shirt, but I really want a print of shaggy on the side art.

I can`t say enough about Chris's work,,
Just look at the energy in the linework! LOOK AT IT!~

LOVE the design and the last pic in the side art totally awesome

Really cool, Shaggy sideart makes me laugh. :)

wow, that Thing is particularly badass.


I like that Harry Shearer caricature on your website too, heh.

So I went to look at this Colorful business. What is this, I don't even

mightymcclosk said: THe bottom says Junken. its legit Katakana/japanese

It's Jyanken, and it's in hirigana

If I was a habitual player of rock paper scissors, I'd get this, but alas, I am not. I love the Bettie Page-ish woman, and I'd totally buy Shaggy. Who knew he could be so sexy?

this would be great if i where deaf :)

wow, that Shaggy design on the side is quite possibly the most epic thing I've seen all week

Nice ... I would kill for the thing

Chris Wahl is one of my favorite artists. Glad to see his work here

awesome shirt and side art would buy if I hadnt already bought the Collab

Love the concept! Love the style of drawing! Here's the constructive criticism: 1. The illustrations should be in the same order in which everyone says the name of the game: rock, paper scissors. 2. The Japanese wording is irrelevant and unnecessary, thus it shouldn't be there. If those changes were made it would be even cooler than it already is.

Ok, so the Japanese wording is not irrelevant, but I still think it would be better without any wording at all. Plus, why do it in Japanese> Why not English - "Rock, Paper, Scissors"?

love the Thing artwork.

Last one: The Shaggy drawing would make a cool shirt too.

LOVE the side art

I never thought I'd say this about Shaggy, but... I'd totally hit that.

i severly wish this was red. i'd pay 1 dollar extra.

Rocks!!!

I deleted the comment on the negative comments i was going to post for you are good calm examples. I'm sorry I snapped, been bumping into that type to often in real life.

So I am curious about the silk screen printing. I am comparing teefury shirts with the woot shirt I got. what I am noticing is that the paint/print of Teefury goes further into the material while the woot one is the kind that gets all crackly and flaky over time unless I'm extra careful with drying them (hang dry). I've also seen shirts that are like a shiney sticker thats been glued on. The woot shirt is a heavier material and the seams on both shirts are well done. The feel is also differnt the teefury shirt is soft all over while the other you can tell where it was printed on.

while I know it's a machine doing the printing I always think of the silk screen I played with as a child where you cut out paper shapes put them on the screen and smooth paint over the top let dry and then add another layer.

じゃんけん is right.
For those asking, Janken is the name of rock paper scissors. If you hear it played it will go, "Janken...PON!" With the Pon coming as the open their hands. My Kids add a "Achi mite hoi!" and point their fingers trying to get the opponent to look in the direction indicated. I don't understand this bit.

Not particularly my style, but nice sideart with The Thing!

Chris Wahl, your work is fantastic.

Everyone else, check out his portfolio.

Not everyone would be able to read the kanji. At least most people have some understanding of the hiragana.

It's a really good tee, though and the side art is tops.

side art is pretty ROCKIN!!!

I love the side art. It is sick.

Also very tempted to get the shirt.

FuriesUNITE! said:

LOL what? Not all of us are Japanophiles. My main reason for not buying this shirt, actually, though I do like the rock paper scissors artwork.

That's Shaggy? Zoinks! If he'd taken off his shirt a long time ago maybe Daphne would have paid more attention to him. ;D

I LOVE your artwork! It's SO cool! :) The shirts great too.

Im pretty sure "Rock, Paper, Scissors" is translated into Japanese into either "Janken Poi", or "Janken Pon"...

Does the paper-rock-scissors order of the illustration have anything to do with the Japanese name for the game, or was it simply an aesthetic choice? Aesthetically I prefer it; I like the symmetry.

The text is what's holding me back from an instant buy... without the text I'd have already purchased it. I may still, but I'm sleeping on it first. The artist comment about the shirt being for those who don't think RPS is "just a game" throws me a little -- personally I think the text makes the image a little... softer, I guess, less serious, more game-like. I think the hands alone would have looked harder, much more aggressive. I'm interested in the artist's thought process specifically regarding the inclusion of the text.

I have no problem at all with the artists retaining their rights to their artwork and to reprint. In fact I'd have a problem if they didn't! But I must admit, the way I have always interpreted TeeFury's policy was that it was a right to "RE print." The implication being that it was first printed by TeeFury and may later be printed elsewhere. Not a crucial difference, but definitely a significant one. I believe that part of what appeals to people about TeeFury is that the shirt they're buying is a "new" design. Maybe this distinction should be a little clearer to potential TeeFury customers. Or perhaps on a shirt by shirt basis, point it out if the shirt has been printed elsewhere previously.

err... usually it's written kana only. kids game and all that.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE print the Shaggy sideart!! INSTANT buy. Also, cool design & congrats on the print. :)

To answer your queries, The order was for aesthetic reasons, it gives it a 'pilot wings' shape.

I didn't write the text about RPS being just a game, that was the curator.

Lastly, my reason for the text was purely for design reasons. The text was used to interconnect the three symbols together, and the reason for the Japanese was so it acted more as a design element and not a slogan. I figured the art conveyed the idea enough without having to state the obvious with words.

*English words, that is.

Great design and side art! :)

Interesting, thanks! (I should have read the side text more carefully.)

Awesome design and awesome art!
Hope to see more from him at tee fury soon (please after I receive my first one - I am broke, even for these prices!) LOL!

you're artwork is really inspiring!!

mightymcclosk said: THe bottom says Junken. its legit Katakana/japanese

sorry dude but it's hiragana, since it is native japanese words. get your alphabets straight lol

Darn out of cash.

Not buying a shirt with foreign language words on it.

Super_Fly said: i hope it really does say "janken" i'd hate to run into someone who could read Japanese and ask why my shirt says deep fried moose butts

lmfao. I'd much prefer the latter.

This guy has got to have some of the best artwork Ive ever seen, and paper rock scissors is the one that got picked to be printed? Disapointed.

Janken seems unnecessary to me, but I still like the shirt

Love that sideart!

I don't mind the Japanese wording, it adds a weird touch to it. But you're right about the rock, paper, scissors ordering... although rock in the middle looks awesome - it ruins the reference.

RandomLynx said: I don't mind the Japanese wording, it adds a weird touch to it. But you're right about the rock, paper, scissors ordering... although rock in the middle looks awesome - it ruins the reference.

I think you'll find that 'Paper, Rock, Scissors' and other combinations are all accepted variations of the game's name.

That Shaggy side art are just wicked sick! Am I totaly wrong when I get a Fight Club-feeling?

And yea, the tee is rather sweet too!

rLray said: That Shaggy side art are just wicked sick! Am I totaly wrong when I get a Fight Club-feeling

Re: Fight Club- I see it now you mention it, but that was never my intention.

This man Chris can do no wrong, a total professional. Where as I have just realized I missed the collab tee from yesterday - I'm a fool.

Man, that side art is awesome! I totally want that Shaggy shirt.

Oh man, that Shaggy sideart is hawt. I would buy a million. Please I beg of you, dear Fury, print it sometime. I guarantee that all nostalgic shirt buyers all grown up will fall in love with this print. Either that, or just make a regular print of it.

That's a cool shirt and all but.. It's sort of plain. I would like it if it had more detail.I LOVE the shaggy one one the side TEEFURY YOU HAVE TO PRINT THIS OR I WILL KILL MY SELF :( Please print....slowly fading awayyyyyy................

rLray said: That Shaggy side art are just wicked sick! Am I totaly wrong when I get a Fight Club-feeling?

More like "Flight Club"

Oh, nearly forgot...

Great shirt, will probably be wearing this to PAX this year. The Shaggy side-art is great, probably the only time he's been depicted as being somewhat tough (and Daphne on his arm is GREAT!)

I would buy a shirt if I knew it said "Deep Fried Moose Butts" in a language that the general populous cannot read. I'd probably buy my dad one too.

Another awesome shirt in my collection! Sweet! I do love this one...

BTW.
That Betty Page is just draw jopping. :)
Serious talent and ingenuity.

I was born in Japan, so my brother and I used to play Jan Ken Pohn all the time...

along with building great gas mileage cars and great electronics. No srsly, we played that game. It's neat how it's almost an international game.

Nice shirt, not for me though. It is sort of plain and young. But the thing that did it for me about the side art was Shaggy's lower abs 'Zoinks' tat. haha!

ffffff I want it so bad D: mustbreakintofundssssss

you forgot "pon" (ぽん）じゃん。。。けん。。。ぽん！！！

All three of them mean "rock, paper, scissors".

that boils down to dialect. Its like saying "ya'll" apposed to "you all". Same thing, different usage/dialect.

Very well done!

OH Spock! I WANT THE SHAGGY ONE! BUT LIKE...SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!

I think I need the Shaggy side art something fierce! If not on a tee then nicely framed so I can hang it on a wall.

i don't understand this tee....

well said. i didnt even recognize bad ass Shaggy at first. Hes always been so nice ass.

definite buy for me. love blue shirts.
also, i would buy the Shaggy sideart in a half-nanosecond, if it was printed.

holy smurf print all the side art.

I love this design. I understood that it was "rock, paper, scissors" regardless of the order. I actually prefer it because it looks symmetrical, like wings. As to the discussion of the text, I don't think the artist wanted us to get hung up on the linguistics. If you've ever taken a Design Course, the instructor will tell tell you to treat a word or phrase as an independent element. I think it pulls the whole design together.

As for the sideart: Please print Shaggy! [Although, at first glance, I thought he was Brandon Boyd, lead singer of Incubus......until I saw the Scooby tattoo. *laughs*]

PRINT SHAGGY! (Not on white please)

just a brief announcement my fellow teefurians. I'd like to say that it is the very first shirt i've bought that wasn't part of the grab bags. I love this shirt and everything it stands for. Congratulations to Chris Wahl on his print, a very powerful design my friend.

So tempted to buy this... almost mainly because of the Japanese on it, BUT also because the design rocks.

(Still uber happy with the grab bags I got today XD.)

phonemes are both dependent and independent parts of words that make up a complete word...thus making meaning.

Well the copy I got had a printing error.

The text reads しゃんけん or 'shanken' which as far as I can tell is gibberish.
Hopefully any Nihhonjin I bump into won't laugh at my massive Nihhongo fail.

Not gonna ship it back from the UK, so I might have to get the correction fluid out and add my own tenten.

Rock, paper scissors, lizard spock, baby. That's what I want!

Yeah, just got mine, same printing error.

Got the same error here: "しゃんけん"... and I live in Japan. Great.

thaNIZ said: Got the same error here: "しゃんけん"... and I live in Japan. Great.

Exactly the same, only noticed when someone pointed it out ... Shanken / しゃんけん？しゃんけん？

That's disappointing. Just checked my shirt as well and it has the same error. Nice one, TeeFury!

Super_Fly said: i hope it really does say "janken" i'd hate to run into someone who could read Japanese and ask why my shirt says deep fried moose butts

Hello there! Just a note, that it DOES say Janken. Here's the breakdown:

し = shi, but when you add the dakuten-looks like a qutotaion mark,

じ = ji (sounds like "gee")

や = ya (sounds like it should)

To get the "Ja" sound, they combine the two, by making the second character a little but smaller. Like this:

じゃ = ja

And the rest, play out like this:

ん = n

け = ke

ん = n

Now, all together:

じゃ ん け ん = Janken
Jya n ke n = Janken (in sound).

Make sense? Sorry if this is a re-post of what someone has already posted, but I've just started taken Japanese lessons recently, and it's very fun and exciting and great practice for me to keep it fresh in my mind. Hope this helps!

I know it says Janken, and your Japanese is good.

But on the actual printed t-shirt, they missed the dakuten in じ　and printed し instead.
