Teefury shirts are a hassle for me to buy. I don't have online buying options and so pay my friend to purchase them for me.

I was all "LOVES it" about this shirt and was debating on getting it, considering I just did a trade and bought one two weeks ago.

But after reading the artist's "what they want Teefury fans to know", I mean, wow. I'm a see-you-next-Tuesday all the time, but that just left me thinking, "Why bother?" With that attitude, why bother supporting, why should I show my love with my hard-earned money and my friend's kindness. So I'm not bothering.

I'm quite sure that was sarcasm and the artist is joking around. It's okay to have fun!

In regards to this shirt I love the happy sun who is totally content with all the back-breaking mayhem! Personally I'd love to own the following shirts if they're available anywhere:

I think it's pretty clear he was kidding :)

Although TeeFury artists are very talented and awesome, to the best of my knowledge none of them have ever been mobbed in public by fanatical illustration fans begging for autographs.

I really loved the design. But the thing that ruined it for me was the interview. If I was an artist I would be greatful for people that appriciate my art, not be ride toward my fans. This guy seems entirly ungrateful for the sucess that he has incountered. If you don't want people to talk to you, do something boring, not something that relies majorly on people, a fan-base, and appriciation....

Agreed. That is a really terrible attitude and because you feel that way, a lot less people are going to buy your shirt, Caravaggio and myself included.

maybe he's trying to be funny (hahah?), but i still wouldn't buy this. original, i guess so. but it's little more than a visual representation of a well-known phrase. i'm still confused as to why every bit of the interview makes it seem like i should have the faintest idea of who he is.

If there's one thing I want Teefury fans to know, it's that I HATE being approached in public for autographs and photos ....So yeah, stay the heck away from me."

What a vile and abhorrent attitude. Sorry man, you've every right to feel how you do and there's a consequence. Consequently, I ain't buying your tee-shirt.

What an utterly repellent outlook.

Cheers for point that out. I never usually bother reading the side bits but this one's decided me against a purchase, despite liking the design and never having sought an autograph from anyone or in fact been interested enough in any Creatives to want one. Privacy's worth protecting but there's no need to be rude about it.

andygsaid 80 weeks ago

I couldn't help but notice a number of angry and/or disappointed comments being directed at me based on my interview answers. Hopefully, I won't make things any worse by trying to clear this all up... but if you think that that the majority of my interview answers were serious, then we're all doomed as a species.

As a public service to all of you, I would like to quickly deconstruct my interview answers to eliminate any confusion as to whether or not I was being facetious or serious. For you see, at least 90% of my answers were JOKES.

OK, here we go...

1) Me being raised by feral golden retrievers and owning hummel figurines? JOKE! If you believed any of this answer, GET HELP IMMEDIATELY. Also, as this preposterous, inaugural answer kicked off my interview, it should have clued you in that the rest of my answers might follow suit.

2) Me hating being approached in public and signing autographs? JOKE! I wish I could say that I've been recognized and asked for autographs enough times to actually become sick of it, but it's only happened a couple times... and when it did happen, I LOVED IT!

3) Being inspired by inspirational things? TRUTH in the form of a JOKE. The joke is the part about not listing any specifics.

4) Me getting into art by krazy-gluing crayons to my hands as a high school senior? JOKE! If you believed this answer, pick up something heavy and hit yourself in the head with it immediately! After that, repeat several times.

5A) Me purchasing an island if I had a million dollars? Possibly TRUTH. I mean, I would love to own my own island, but I'm not sure I'd actually be able to afford a decent one after taxes.

5B) Me wanting to move to that island to avoid Teefury fans? JOKE! Are you kidding? I would have Teefury fan beach parties every night! You would have to be able to distinguish between JOKES and NOT JOKES to get in though. Oh, and there would also be a cover charge.

6) My love for 40's and 50's cartoons and Chuck Jones? 100% TRUTH. This was my only serious answer in the entire interview.

7) Me giving myself a shout out? JOKE! Who gives themself a shout out? That would be ridiculous.

So there you have it. For those of you who liked my design but won't buy it because of a few JOKES, might I suggest instead finding a doctor willing to perform a $9 lobotomy on you? Okay, you see what I just did there? That was another JOKE!

Lighten up a little, will ya? I mean, c'mon!

It really bothers me that people will forgo supporting the artist (when they love the shirt) because he had fun with his interview! Fun is allowed people! Ignore the haters Andy - love the work!!

I also thought the answer to that question was annoying...I would like to think there was a level of joking around involved since it was hard to really take much of the content in the interview seriously...either way, I'm not a big fan of the shirt and the hopefully dry humor of interview didn't do much to win me over (not that I think he was trying to). Hopefully better luck tomorrow...one of the reasons 24 hours is the perfect amount of time before changing up the available design.

The artist has some serious chops - for sure - no argument there. Congrats on the print. You're a helluvan artist.

The sarcasm in the interview, however, is NOT obvious - hence all of the negative comments, which prompted the artist to chime in and explain himself.

I was also taken aback when I read the interview. I don't know this guy from Tom, CaptainKirk, or Harry, so to assume the sarcasm would unequivocally understood, was a risk that may or may not sell more shirts. It just came off as arrogant, pompous, and "I've got not time for this t-shirt selling stuff... I've got better things to do."

BTW - not all artwork should have to be decoded to be understood, which seems to be the theme here. IMO, the social "meme" stuff is tired and overplayed. Simplicity and originality are inspiring, not regurgitated content that originated from some idiot on YouTube, or other social site.

All that said, looking forward to tomorrows tee! :)

- If you had to "decode" the meaning of this design, you probably hate the 80's, think slowly, are too young, just not hip to Devo's "Whip it" (which is one of the most famous 80's songs ever), or any combination of the above.

Hopefully, I won't make things any worse by trying to clear this all up... but if you think that that the majority of my interview answers were serious, then we're all doomed as a species.

As a public service to all of you, I would like to quickly deconstruct my interview answers to eliminate any confusion as to whether or not I was being facetious or serious. For you see, at least 90% of my answers were JOKES.

OK, here we go...

1) Me being raised by feral golden retrievers and owning hummel figurines? JOKE! If you believed any of this answer, GET HELP IMMEDIATELY. Also, as this preposterous, inaugural answer kicked off my interview, it should have clued you in that the rest of my answers might follow suit.

2) Me hating being approached in public and signing autographs? JOKE! I wish I could say that I've been recognized and asked for autographs enough times to actually become sick of it, but it's only happened a couple times... and when it did happen, I LOVED IT!

3) Being inspired by inspirational things? TRUTH in the form of a JOKE. The joke is the part about not listing any specifics.

4) Me getting into art by krazy-gluing crayons to my hands as a high school senior? JOKE! If you believed this answer, pick up something heavy and hit yourself in the head with it immediately! After that, repeat several times.

5A) Me purchasing an island if I had a million dollars? Possibly TRUTH. I mean, I would love to own my own island, but I'm not sure I'd actually be able to afford a decent one after taxes.

5B) Me wanting to move to that island to avoid Teefury fans? JOKE! Are you kidding? I would have Teefury fan beach parties every night! You would have to be able to distinguish between JOKES and NOT JOKES to get in though. Oh, and there would also be a cover charge.

6) My love for 40's and 50's cartoons and Chuck Jones? 100% TRUTH. This was my only serious answer in the entire interview.

7) Me giving myself a shout out? JOKE! Who gives themself a shout out? That would be ridiculous.

So there you have it. For those of you who liked my design but won't buy it because of a few JOKES, might I suggest instead finding a doctor willing to perform a $9 lobotomy on you? Okay, you see what I just did there? That was another JOKE!

Lighten up a little, will ya? I mean, c'mon!

Cheers for point the comments out (normally I never read the side panels). The shirt was a strong maybe up till then but definitely a no now. Privacy's all well and good and personally I've never pursued anyone for an autograph (pointless activity I reckon) but there's a way to ask people not to do that without being rude.

It's inspired by the song "Whip it" by the 80's band Devo, and a young ignorant teen like you just isn't going get it. Doesn't mean you have to think the artist is an @$$hole, or a jerk - obviously you fill that criteria.

The rhyme far predates the Devo song...by several generations. Could you please stop calling others ignorant when you, yourself, have no idea how the phrase originated. Devo did not invent that rhyme, they just used it as line in "Whip It"; it's been around longer than the automobile has, ffs.

O.K. Good for you.
Caravaggio's Bones said: Teefury shirts are a hassle for me to buy. I don't have online buying options and so pay my friend to purchase them for me.

I was all "LOVES it" about this shirt and was debating on getting it, considering I just did a trade and bought one two weeks ago.

But after reading the artist's "what they want Teefury fans to know", I mean, wow. I'm a see-you-next-Tuesday all the time, but that just left me thinking, "Why bother?" With that attitude, why bother supporting, why should I show my love with my hard-earned money and my friend's kindness. So I'm not bothering.

I couldn't help but notice a number of angry and/or disappointed comments being directed at me based on my interview answers. Hopefully, I won't make things any worse by trying to clear this all up... but if you think that that the majority of my interview answers were serious, then we're all doomed as a species.

As a public service to all of you, I would like to quickly deconstruct my interview answers to eliminate any confusion as to whether or not I was being facetious or serious. For you see, at least 90% of my answers were JOKES.

OK, here we go...

1) Me being raised by feral golden retrievers and owning hummel figurines? JOKE! If you believed any of this answer, GET HELP IMMEDIATELY. Also, as this preposterous, inaugural answer kicked off my interview, it should have clued you in that the rest of my answers might follow suit.

2) Me hating being approached in public and signing autographs? JOKE! I wish I could say that I've been recognized and asked for autographs enough times to actually become sick of it, but it's only happened a couple times... and when it did happen, I LOVED IT!

3) Being inspired by inspirational things? TRUTH in the form of a JOKE. The joke is the part about not listing any specifics.

4) Me getting into art by krazy-gluing crayons to my hands as a high school senior? JOKE! If you believed this answer, pick up something heavy and hit yourself in the head with it immediately! After that, repeat several times.

5A) Me purchasing an island if I had a million dollars? Possibly TRUTH. I mean, I would love to own my own island, but I'm not sure I'd actually be able to afford a decent one after taxes.

5B) Me wanting to move to that island to avoid Teefury fans? JOKE! Are you kidding? I would have Teefury fan beach parties every night! You would have to be able to distinguish between JOKES and NOT JOKES to get in though. Oh, and there would also be a cover charge.

6) My love for 40's and 50's cartoons and Chuck Jones? 100% TRUTH. This was my only serious answer in the entire interview.

7) Me giving myself a shout out? JOKE! Who gives themself a shout out? That would be ridiculous.

So there you have it. For those of you who liked my design but won't buy it because of a few JOKES, might I suggest instead finding a doctor willing to perform a $9 lobotomy on you? Okay, you see what I just did there? That was another JOKE!

Lighten up a little, will ya? I mean, c'mon!

-andyg

P.S. You don't have to think any of my jokes are funny either... you just need to be able to pick them out.

Are you sure the Golden Retrievers was a JOKE? lol :P Because I thought that would be pretty awesome...or you somehow were delusional and imagined your real mother and father were Golden's. In any case love the sense of humor

First of all, check your spelling. You would not be RUDE towards your fans. Entirely ungreatful...encountered. Secondly. HE WAS JOKING! It's called being sarcastic people!!!

This guy seems entirly ungrateful for the sucess that he has incountered. If you don't want people to talk to you, do something boring, not something that relies majorly on people, a fan-base, and appriciation....

I have to agree with Caravaggio's Bones: Not buying this shirt because the artist wants to be left alone. So I shall leave him alone.

It was obvious to me that the side interview was a joke. Looking back on this I bet Andy regrets doing it though, it appears he has lost many customers because of it. It left a bad taste in my mouth even though it was obviously a joke.

It's actually ungrateful. The OP spelled grateful incorrectly, not ungrateful. :)

Anyways, the art is awesome. I'm not sure about the fake pompous attitude, but the crayon story made me lol. (Lol is the best verb ever!)

Obviously some of you aren't getting it. Most of us understand that the interview was complete sarcasm. By this point, with as many people that have said it, we get it.

However, the sarcasm was not entertaining. At first glance, it looks stuck up and rude. It shouldn't take a rereading to understand that you're being sarcastic. Next time, I would probably tone it down.

As for the design, It's very well done. However, I'm agreeing with whoever said it first that I would feel guilty wearing it around my mom lol.

Some people are really not getting this T-shirt design, and it's really a shame.
For those who keep commenting "I wouldn't want to wear this around my mom" or "This is disturbing" PLEASE watch the link below and listen to 0:30 to 0:35, and all will become clear.

Seriously??? I'm pretty sure he was being facetious. Have you actually heard of Andy Gonsalves? I don't think ANYBODY actually bothers him in public.

Art curated by

Words from the curator:

Superstar Andyg graces the Teefury scene and teaches us a valuable lesson. Avoid those cracks!

Artist location:

New York, NY

Tell us about yourself:

There really isn't anything I can tell people about myself that they haven't already read in the tabloids or on the internet. If I could though, I'd like to take this opportunity to set the record straight on two stories in particular which seem to have taken on a life of their own. First of all, I was NOT raised by wolves. Feral golden retrievers, rather. Also, I am NOT the owner of the largest collection of Hummel figurines on the eastern seaboard. It's actually, the second largest collection.

What do you want Teefury fans to know?

If there's one thing I want Teefury fans to know, it's that I HATE being approached in public for autographs and photos and that kind of thing. I'm a pretty private guy, and the last thing I want to deal with when I'm out having a good time is some enthusiastic stranger trying to shake my hand with the intention of talking about this particular Teefury design...or Teefury designs in general. So yeah, stay the heck away from me.

What inspires you?

I'm inspired by inspirational people, places and/or things. The more inspirational the person, place or thing may be, the more inspired I get.

How did you get into art?

I got into art in kind of a weird way. It all began with an unfortunate mishap where I accidentally krazy-glued a handful of crayons to my hands. I was sent to the emergency room and the doctors said that they couldn't remove the crayons without the risk of severing my fingers. So, my parents bought me a big drawing pad on the way home. Over the next several days, I drew picture after picture (mostly kittens) until the crayons were worn down and the glue had weakened enough to peel away. By the time I got back to normal, I was really into drawing and so I stuck with it. This all happened when I was a senior in High school, by the way.

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I would purchase a small, tropical island out in the south pacific and move there. Far, far away from all those annoying Teefury fans.

What was your favorite as a kid: comics, cartoons, or movies? Was

there a specific title you liked most of all?

Cartoons were always my favorite as a kid. Specifically the classic Warner Bros. shorts of the 40's and 50's. Most of the cartoons that Chuck Jones directed were my favorites.

Any shout outs?

Shout outs? I've actually never given one before nor have I ever been the recipient of one. So, you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and give myself one for having a design featured on Teefury. Way to go, Andy!
