Unfortunately, if you didn't know the name of the design, you'd never get it. Snake doesn't wear those clothes at all. This is pretty sloppy in my book.

i agree. a peace sign?? really?
I agree too. I saw the title first and got excited and then i looked at the photo.

Yeah, this a bummer. Would've been a total sale if he was wearing Snake's outfit. Instead he's dressed like a punk. Missed opportunity!
this isnt mgs snake guys. it's snake pliskin from escape for ny and la. people who are complaining about the clothes not looking like snake(mgs) knock it off. it's still badass if you've seen the movies

Agreed. I would LOVE a Snake Plisken Cat shirt, but this doesnt quite fit the description. I wouldn't go as far as to say its sloppy, and I can appreciate the look the artist was going for, but I don't really see this as a Cat Snake Plisken at all.
this is more Sid Vicious than Snake Plissken. Still looks really good in its own comical way. My daughter might want it. I'll have to show it to her. If it were a pugs head or bulldog i might've gotten it for myself.
Hrmm... I dunno... seems like it should look something like Snake Plissken for it to work. Which, currently, it doesn't share any more similarity to than a pirate. Or Sid Vicious.

I don't really think the peace sign button, or studded belt, chain, or striped-tee really fit as I've never seen the character wear any of those things, but I like the idea and kitties.
I love the kitten-head! But the colours...! Why is it everytime I like a design, the colours of the t-shirt are BLARGH or ugly or would-not-look-good-on-me-at-all? I mean this isn't so bad, I could live with it, but... I don't know.
to artist: if your cat peed in the shower it may have a UTI. cats like the cool surface of the tub/shower on their belly/junk when its irritated. that or maybe he was telling you to clean your shower! :) fyi the horse art is awesome.
Jeesus fumpin' christ :D
I have to have this shirt.
Not that the snake stuff is much to me, but it just looks epic.
I think this shirt will bring me ataraxi. Maybe. Almost.
SmoothVince said: Unfortunately, if you didn't know the name of the design, you'd never get it. Snake doesn't wear those clothes at all. This is pretty sloppy in my book.
While I really like the concept of this shirt, it looks like an eye-patched cat head on a James Dean body to me.
If this was actually a cat's head on Snake Plisskin's body, I'd buy it. As it stands, unless you told someone the title of the design, people would assume that its a punk cat.
and that you probably spend too much time with your cat if you think that's cool.
Hahaha--very cute and clever design! Personally I'm not a fan of the army green color shirts. Also I would like this even more if the size the head was in proportion to the body?
i don't get the reference but that doesn't matter (kinda like teenage kids watching family guy and laughing at all the references aimed at 30 somethings). the design is AMAZING. so instant buy.
If the cat was actually dressed like Snake Plissken, I'd buy it. Unfortunately, the only similarity is the eye-patch. Those aren't Snake's clothes. Cool design none the less.
ericafade said: fail. there's no peace in new new york.
There in is the joke. It's sarcasm, because there is no peace in NY.... let's not even talk about LA, the sequel was horrible.
And I didn't want Purrskin to be in a butt tight vest, hence the punk rock outfit. Although furry muscles would have been funny.
No matter what, there's gonna be hate hate hate. But teh tee needs to stand on it's own, it's an eyepatch kitty in a punk rocker outfit, that's kick azz enough for me.
Thanks for the love to the peeps who are enjoying the vibe.

He actually did have it, but he's been fine for a while now. Just keeping him on a diet and he's no longer outdoors, because they eat all sorts of bad stuff while roaming and I think that contributes to UTI. We adopted him from the Humane Society. He's a funny guy.
Finally! After a series of close calls, and an abundance of shirts that didn't meet my criteria, this artist hit a home run with this one. It's nice to spend money on a Teefury shirt once again after such a substantial wait!
Ok one thing that bothers me:
"I collaged a whole bunch of images I pulled from the web..."
I'm disappointed because the most important thing I have learned from photography and art classes is to always use your own original work.
However, I absolutely love this shirt! Awesome design!
(Not sure what it has to do with Snake, though.)
What did I teach you?
You are... duke of new... new york, you are a number 1.
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
YOU ARE DUKE OF NEW YORK!!! YOU ARE A NUMBER 1!!!
awesome cult classic but this looks more like an 80's punk rock or UK punk rock, good play on words though.
Bought. I don't care that this isn't exactly like Snake down to the T. This is a cat. A badass cat. It's also a badass design. Snake wasn't a cat, either, but you guys don't seem to mind that. SIGH.
Kiss my ass on the Snake comments. This was not made as a Snake design any more than it was a Devo design when it was first entered in the Devo woot derby. Dude had a cool design & offered it however best it may sell. No harm in that. I'd buy the hell outta it if it was on a lighter shirt color as on woot, but I have a disdain for army green since I got outta the Army. Go figure. Best of luck. I know nobody will care, but after the lion hunter design, your favorite oif mine is the jesus saves while satan is skatin' shirt. I'd give at least $20 for that.
LNS, the DEVO adaptation was just that, I adpated it for the DEVO contest, which I should have never done and I should have never submitted it to woot. As far as for Plissken, I admit I took too many artistic liberties, but it's got a cat head and it's just absurd to begin with. I guess I should draw a legit Plissken to redeem myself, ha. Glad you're digging on Satan is Skatin.
A big thanks to Somni and Teefury and to everyone who appreciated the tee.
I was in Tennessee this past weekend, wearing this shirt for the first time, and I got a lot of compliments on it. Gave everyone who said something about it the website. Hope you get some more customers out of it!
What if Snake Plissken was a cat, he'd be
Snake Purrsken, right? Right.
What was your work process for this?
I collaged a whole bunch of images I pulled from the web, changed the image to grayscale, blew out the levels to get a photocopy feel, added some textures here and there. I didn't want to illustrate the idea, as I usually do, because that's not the vibe I wanted. I wanted this DIY punk feel. It's a fun design and I enjoyed doing it. It's always good to play with different techniques. Experimenting is good, kids.
How do you usually come up with your ideas?
I generally always start with a doodle in my sketch book. This particular idea is actually from
an awesome old disco 12" record cover that I saw with cat people. They had human bodies with cat heads and are not to be confused with Stephen King's novel about cat people, that's a different type of cat person. So I really wanted to do a cat person. I also watched Escape from NY recently and decided it just had to be based off of Plissken and his badazzness.
Are you a cat person or a dog person?
Love em both. Clean up on cats is a lot easier though, anything that poops in a box gets my stamp of approval. My cat actually took a wee in the shower the other day, that was weird.
