    Skeleton*

    Had zombies on the mind.
  • GryphonsShadowsaid 85 weeks ago

    I try to avoid skulls and blood on my shirts and I don't really like the color of the shirt as well but the design is nice and quite eye catching.
  • qyzexsaid 85 weeks ago

    would buy skeleton Monroe in an instant, though the tee offered is still pretty nice. :D
  • lan-mansaid 85 weeks ago

    I cant decide what is more epic, the shirt, or the side art!

  • sawbones84said 85 weeks ago

  • IceCreamMagesaid 85 weeks ago

    Looks pretty awesome but I don't think I can afford to buy this one after the last two I bought. 3
  • grantvernonssaid 85 weeks ago

    It's my payday @ midnight! WOOT! Awesome design.
  • johnbondsaid 85 weeks ago

    would have bought without the text, just kills it for me! Awesome design tho!!!!
  • blursaid 85 weeks ago

    Just the skull in the helmet is enough -- it's very good, actually. But the text? Blech. The text makes turns a great drawing into a lame t-shirt, sadly.
  • biotwistsaid 85 weeks ago

    the art is sweet but i think the "punk is not dead" isn't needed not is this very punk, not that these comments are useful. congrats on the print regardless
  • tonymontana444said 85 weeks ago

    Also print the norma jeane
  • blursaid 85 weeks ago

    jbperry said: I think it would have been 10x better without the text.


    Precisely. There's not even anything "punk" about it so the text, to not put too fine a point on it, doesn't even make any sense.
  • firecoral417said 85 weeks ago

    I like the amy winehouse one too!
  • probablynotapiesaid 85 weeks ago

    Very clever.
    The splatter in the background is a nice effect. Well done.
  • Azusaid 85 weeks ago

    Sassa is the king of the skulls

    (I agree with the text being unnecessary) still an awesome shirt
  • FuzzyLogicsaid 85 weeks ago

    Oh Yeah.
    Another wonderful SASSA Piece of RAWRsome!
  • idiotproof67said 85 weeks ago

    Yeah. Shame about the text.
    It makes it look like a Target t for lame try-hards or oot dads.

    I Want ALL Of The Side Art
  • kerigsaid 85 weeks ago

    As much as we all hate text, without it the design wouldn't make any sense, just a dead Roman soldier. The text placement and coloring is very good on this one. A cheesier artist would have incorporated it into the helmet.

    I get the feeling (based on the side-art) that Sassa missed Skin Week in art class.

    I disagree. The text placement is the "obvious" place for it under the wing of the helmet there; it's not daring or anything. And why would the design make "no sense" without text? Do you really look at art that literally? It would be *fine* without the text. As for what the text says itself, not only does it not match the image, like I said earlier, but it's horribly cliched as well. The word "punk" is overused in art, literature and music.
  • megatronsaid 85 weeks ago

    rock on!
  • kerigsaid 85 weeks ago

    There's something punk-related in the design, here's a clue:

  • metronomesaid 85 weeks ago

    holy hell, these skulls? they're the best. i'm actually digging the placement of the text for this

    This place is ruining me $9 at a time! Super sweet shirt
  • sassatattoosaid 85 weeks ago

    Hey people! Thanks a lot for the comments so far.
    The side arts are from a brazilian t-shirt brand i work.
    Sorry about the shirt text if you didn't like it.
    cheers!

  • Brash Attacksaid 85 weeks ago

    Love all the sideart, don't care for the shirt. The text doesn't seem to fit.

    Would buy the top on the sideart tho.

    oh, come on.
    This is not an art masterpiece like some Dali, Frida or Picasso painting to take care about cliches. That's just a t-shirt.
    Yes, i'm joking using a "big cliche" like so many people do everyday on shirts, cartoons, TV, Movies, Photos, whatever. People deal with it everyday and many good stuff are made this way. What you call cliche, i call pop.
    My point here was make a MashedPotato between a Punky mohawk haircut and the Roman helmet brush stuff. If was without text, people could not identify the "punk" on the joke judging just the skull.
    I believe the text maybe is not too necessary, but i agree with Kerig.
    Thanks for your comment. Maybe it can help me on my next works. Seeya!

    I 100% AGREE WITH THIS!!! so badass!!!
  • CrimsonBriansaid 85 weeks ago

    About the text on the shirt...... this is incredibly similar to the band "THE EXPLOITED" 's "Punks Not Dead" album and t-shirt. A very popular punk rock staple. The text is the touch that makes it conceptual instead of just a neat drawing. Good show Sassa!
  • Reverend Hellgoodsaid 85 weeks ago

    I'd buy this shirt if it didn't say "punk is not dead" on it. It's too bad. The skull with the Roman helmet is awesome!

    The whole collection is awesome. PRINT PRINT PRINT!

    bought, if it didnt have the quote that is

    Without the text it's just a design. The text gives the Spartan helmet a modern connection. He's trying to convey that punk being dead is unlikely.

    Though the expression usually refers to the original punk music in which case I agree with it. The style and raw intensity of early punk is gone in "punk" music of today.
  • leguamasaid 85 weeks ago

    Please print first sideart. Love it!
  • Cuban Petesaid 85 weeks ago

    If you like punk its a great shirt. I dont mind the text, it goes with the image.
    I wouldnt buy it. Especially not with the text.
    Never been a fan of punk, either the music or people who use the whole punk aesthetic to act like a smurf cos they 'dont care' (You will when you grow up son).
    It probably is dead now anyway, or at least in a coma.
    Like the art a lot though.
  • hipflasksaid 85 weeks ago

    What's with the photograph of Amy Winehouse?

    I'm a 'punk', I have been since I was 15 (i'm 40 now) I wouldn't wear this, I can't really see who would to be honest? it's just tacky. I'll stick to my Clash tees thanks.... sorry.

    Won't buy, BTW.... I'm still waiting for the 1st t-shirt I bought one month ago: I want to "test the fury" by myself before the next purchase.

  • spider villainy said 85 weeks ago

    Love the design but I think the text Is too much. Plus I don't agree with it. I haven't heard a good new punk band in ages.
  • Sproutsaid 85 weeks ago

    Argh. My personal policy to never buy a shirt that requires text on it to have a point.

    Yes, it looks fine. But explanational texts ruins everything.
    My opinion anyway, I have the right to express it, you white knights out there.
  • thrashallasaid 85 weeks ago

    Gods damnit. Get rid of the Punk part and this would have been an instant buy.

  • Devacesaid 85 weeks ago

    If punk isn't dead, then why is it being portrayed as a skull? Logic destroys whatever message there was, so I agree to just present the image sans text and let people draw their own feelings from it.

    ignore those morons, if it wasnt on there it would be a "cool" shirt of a roman skull thingy, with it it makes it comical, funny and what most humurous shirts go for which is a giant cliche.... GREAT WORK!!!!!!!

    strange.


    that's true! i've made the bowed fibula to make a silhouete of a hot girl leg. I have a friend who's a doctor and he did the same appointments.
    And there's so many other anatomic fails there because i'm a cartoonist, not a scientific or anatomic book artist.
    How many anatomic fails can you point in a Tim Burton's character, per example?


  • sassatattoosaid 85 weeks ago

    To the people who like the side arts:
    I have some of them already printed. they are from a brazilian brand i work. Hit me on flickr if you like to buy it.

    So I'm a moron, huh? Congrats, keyboard commando, I'm terrified. No, truly. Someone trying to abuse me over the Internet... gosh, just frightening. The fact of the matter is it WOULD work without the words -- the artist has SAID AS MUCH -- not to mention if it was to have text, there are actually funnier lines that could be inserted there, anyway. I'm not going to sit here and rattle them off for someone else's gain -- but if anyone spends five minutes thinking about it, there are some rather funny one liners that would work much better than what's on there.
