Teefury

Love it!

I'm a teacher and this is perfect. Can't wait to wear it.

I love the concept, but the design isn't really selling me :/

Mediocre tee.

ahahahaha I am always mediocre.

Hahaha I love it! Sold. Well, Sold later. I need to deposit my paycheck in the morning, but sold when I get home from work tomorrow!

The popsicle side art! Need!

Ahh, the creator of "Coffeestain Cats" from woot. Very nice. :3

Pretty funny but it's sad that our society sooo believes in this now. lol

his name sounds familiar. where do i know naheed snyder from?

Good timing for my university's swotvac week =D

I'd buy Recycle Peace, Love, Happiness side art if it was a shirt.

Left this on FB too. Google "fist image". I don't know if it's part of the gag, but it was the first image that came up. I'm not going to claim copyrights or anything, but clipart is not my style...

That's the spirit...! :/

I like the. Cat side art, but in a different color

I think I really want it. Mine it shall become!

The clenched fist is part of the joke- it's a protest symbol dating back to the early 1900s. Generally people get worked up about the extremes, the joke here is protesting in favor of the average.

Like it.

Quite cool. :)
Will have to think about it - absolutely love the cat sideart though! :D

so much love

the recycling side art is amazing. i would buy it in a heartbeat

I understand the origins and the concept behind the use of the fist, but what I don't understand (especially given the wide range of examples just on the source you linked) why the fist has to be clip art.

Unless...the message of this shirt goes even deeper (which I hope is true since the artist's talent is amazing as proven in the side art) that a simple copy and past of a clip art into microsoft word, surrounded by some circle text and whamo! the most mediocre, saddest tshirt ever.

love it! and i love the side art. i want that recycle tee!

I understand that part. The concept is good. I'm saying this particular fist image is an almost exact tracing of this: http://thelangarhall.com/sikhi/a-little-outrage/
Originality should count.

love it. going to sleep on this one.

I bought this shirt immediately. I would also love to have the (coffee stain?) cat side art. It's super cute.

The recycle side art is prob the best design here it looks wicked cool.

That is the most common version of the fist image (which has been in the public domain and used for a variety of causes for literally decades). It wouldn't make sense as a shirt, given the theme, to use anything else ;)

love the recycle/peace love and happiness design on the side art!

Love it. Might get it.. super low on funds at the moment.

i feel like i need this in my life. and my brother who's struggling a little with pressure could really use this, too. designs like this are why i love teefury.

A red fist with only one thumb, sacrilegious! Hunter S. Thompson's ghost would not approve!

farting cat side art wanted

Love the cat sideart!

i love this so much! I'm so tempted to buy it and go into my honors classes just to see the expression on my teachers faces lol :D

Uhh, am I the only person that correlates the mediocrity in using the most readily available image to make a sure about embracing mediocrity?!

i would LOVE the recycling shirt!!

"the most mediocre, saddest tshirt " Lol, I think that's part of the charm. No real effort in the design. I'm buying it as an X-mas gift for my brother and you guys helped clench it.

whats with all the fatass cats lol

Probably not, but I feel a little silly now spending so much time on the designs I create.

Honestly, I'm not bashing. I stick by my comment of the concept being good. My tastes just lean toward a tasteful homage to past design or design I've never seen before.

meow, the design is nice, but if I had a word for it, it'd be average.

If this was the coffee stain kitty shirt I would have bought it so fast. That's freaking adorable.

Not too into this shirt though... I'd rather not celebrate mediocrity when I could put effort into what I do and accomplish something. :) Then I'd have something to celebrate.

way to go, stealing the most liked post onf acebook -_-

This has to be my favorite interview ever. Very clever and funny! Also, this design kicks some serious behind.

Love this shirt. But I love the recycle one!

And the popsicle sticks.

the popsicle side art is amazing :P

I love the coffee stain kitties.

angsty shirt gets an immediate thumbs-up from this guy who's still stuck in the 90s.

MLIAers would love this shirt.

I feel like I need this shirt for work.

I'm gonna have to sleep on it..

ha.

A++ will trade again



awesome shirt

I understand your view of it being too simplistic for your tastes, both in appearance and (in your opinion) apparent effort put into designing the shirt.

But sometimes you really need to detach from your own personal design aesthetics to view another artists work through completely different eyes. This goes for every artist.

If it makes you feel any better I do agree that the shirt lacks artistic flare, but see that it is reminiscent of classic protest signs...so understand why the artist chose to make the design the way they did.

Am I going to buy it....nope.
Would I expect other people to buy it...absolutely.

Love the kitty cat side art, would buy that in a heartbeat.

love the cat and music car side art!!

awwww, it looks like a wee little hellboy fist! i am also drunk. ignore me!

Im Thinking of how funny it would be to get this shirt for my brother in law, who never ever EVER accepts mediocrity...

Preeeetttyy average :P

Finally, a shirt that isn't a ripoff of some pop-culture icon.

Not a buy for me but plz print the popsicle sideart and the one with the cats =3

A half hearted protest, then.

Popsicle side art = win!

This should be bought just because it looks like the howard stern fist symbol. Baba booey baba booey

Its shirts like this that I wish my son didn't have a dress code at school LOL So many teachers would be mad and I would just laugh.

Debating on picking one up for myself or my husband though. Will sleep on it and come back sometime tomorrow. Overall nice design.

i like this

I love the cats sideart!

MEOW. Dumdi dum didum!

It's a shame I'm broke, because I would have bought that in a heartbeat.

And considering the big "fist picture" debate, I don't see this as being that big of an issue, the fist is a symbol in itself. Starting from scratch just for the hell of it would be pointless, you might as well use something that's already out there. Plus the whole theme behind the shirt makes that move even more meaningful.

All of the side art is AMAZING! Please print the recycle symbol as a tee, pretty pretty please?

Mines.

yoink!!

I love it!

How desperate...

I love the coffee-stain-cats sideart. Would buy it in a sec.

coffee cat and recycle are lush; love 'em

now... wheres my z is for zombie shirt...............

Great t-shirt....but I LOVE the coffee stain kitties on the right!

Platinu said: Pretty funny but it's sad that our society sooo believes in this now. lol

I agree.

Awesome...Lets see if I can get my parents to lend me their credit card... Also, the Popsicle side-art is pretty cool.

Not for me, this one. The concept is amusing, I just fear I would be explaining it to people all day long... However, were you to print the cat side-art, teefury, I would buy it instantly!

this is a wicked shirt Naheed congrats,i love that your life is normal ,the kids, the hubby, the teaching job and still you have time to have tee's sold on teefury, i love it , it gives the rest of us hope that normal doesnt have to be boring and just incase you thought normal means not doing anything super cool then you were wrong ,look what you can do.so thanks .

see this sentence from your interview......."What’s that you say, mom? Getting C’s on my report card is NOT ok? Well, why not? Bobby’s mom doesn’t care if HE comes home with C’s"..........god you would believe the conversations i have had with my daughter that start just like this.

to whoever said it was just the first "fist image" on google...
The first "fist image" is http://www.shenmansell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fist.png
and I would like to point all the ways it is not because there is some work involved in smoothing out the hand so it is not rough like the clip art and the palm also has some differences... so yeah not the same image...
Now back to the awesome mediocrity of the shirt...

Is there a way to buy the recycle side art? Puh-puh-pleaaze?

::fist pump::

Mediocrity!

(ironically, this shirt is a lot better than average ^___^)

simply perfect.

awesome shirt. gonna try and scrounge up enough dollars for it. love the pop-sickle side art. how i feel everyday lol.

Recycle tee will be more apropriated, but this one is cool too :D

like the shirt but have to think it over. LOVE the recycle sideart, that would be an instant buy.

With all the brains in the world, that is easily the easiest thing to come up with as soon as you see this shirt. I'm sure hundreds of people thought of that exact same comment within 1 minute of seeing this and trying to think of something clever to say. :o)

*burp* Mmm... Coffee.

Nice! Also love the cat side art. More cats, please!

The popsicle design and the recycling design are adorable! Not ballsy enough to wear this one to class though.

LOVE IT!!!! sadly if I asked to buy it my mom would kill me cuz this is my family's grading scale
A - average
A- -Fail
yup

Love this shirt, right up my street but unfortunately I had $60 stolen yesterday and my teefury fund is empty :(

nice shirt, but I really don't think the artist should have used a clipart picture from google. He could have taken his own spin on it instead of taking the lazy way out. The coffee cat shirt and the recycling in the sideart are my favorite shirts so far, maybe you guys could print those?

Well then if originality is required to NOT be mediocre(check out the theme of the shirt) that would mean that the artist shouldn't have been upset with the "C" he received for his work.

The hand looks like it's trying way to hard to be a fist ;)

This would be a perfect gag gift for a devout follower of Ayn Rand.

Recycle side art! It's how to show people you're green without being a prick about it.

Uh, I don't think Null "gets it". Good job to the artist, but as one person wrote, I feel I'd have to explain it all day long. And that'd be way too much effort... :)

I love this design and I'd buy it, but I feel it isn't fitting seeing as I'm an A student. I might buy it anyway, but I'll have to think about it. Also please make all of the side art into shirts I would instantly buy all of them if they were for sale.

Ahhh yes, a mediocre t-shirt for a mediocre man. Totally just ordered this! In a mediocre fashion of course.

I love the concept! Also, I really love the popsicle side art... I want that shirt!

My 2nd ever ordered shirt from here. I Love it. : )

When in doubt, pick "C"!

Cat sideart now please!

I'd wear it for the irony. And I kinda read the shirt to be sarcastic anyways. (Maybe it was just me). Mediocre, great stuff! Though, not really.

Noone thought about Red Faction when seeing this?

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/Lord_linketh/RedFactionLogo.png

i might get it seeing as i teach and find it amusing.,.. i would like the last side art on a tee. i LOVE music

I think red's a bit too passionate of a color to celebrate mediocrity. The first should be Beige, haha

Popsicle side art is a MUST HAVE!

RECYCLYE AND CAT SIDEART PLEASE!!!! THIS IS AWEOSME

Ohhhh, this is just heavenly.

The idea is clever enough
But I always made Deans List so I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing this shirt.

Did you noticed the missing E ?

Had to stop and mention the Cat side art... please print.

Carry on.

Awesome shirt! sooo appropriate as I'm preparing myself to enter grad school....

The shirt design made me chuckle. Its a maybe.

love the popsicle tee..... bring the random shirts back!

recycle shirt, make it

Nicely done Naheed, absolutely love it :D

Pfft why settle for mediocre? :P

I really love the recycle side art. Please print.
BTW, today's shirt is ok, Ive seen better and Ive seen worse.

My life.

Love it

But WHERE's THE ''E''???
It goes A B C D F... ???
Well... I guess that would definitely get you a ''C''!!! :)

NabelzZz said: But WHERE's THE ''E''???

No one uses an 'E' in grading systems. At least no one I know of.

Woot, bought! Looks great.

another vote for the recycle tee!

The popsicles make me sad...I'd wear it.

Love the recycling print.

KITTY SIDE ART!!!!!! ZOMG! FTW! >^..^

i love your coffee stain cats!

funny, but after the long string of crazy good tee's, this on is just doesn't make it.. good tho but bad timing :p

Sold!

Hey, guys! Thanks so much for liking my designs and the awesome comments. My intent was to make a funny design with just a dash of sarcasm. Glad that came through. I did draw the hand with reference pics, no tracing or copy paste. I sketched it on paper and then redrew in Photoshop. Oh, and I would loooooove my popsicles to print too. Hint, hint, awesome friends at Teefury!!!

Nice this is an instant buy. Haha I saw the coffee stain cat side art on woot. I think it won for the "thing that start with C" derby.

this expresses my averageness in its own unique way!

am i the only one who immediately thought of MLIA?

HannahJane said: Quite cool. :)

Will have to think about it - absolutely love the cat sideart though! :D

the cat side art has already been printed. It was on shirt.woot not too long ago.

I love this

I want all the side art!

Nice shirt, but it's not a buy for me.

I love the tea-stain kitties, though!

Yep this is a pretty average tee :p

I would scoop up those coffeestain kitties and the recycle shirt in a sec tho.

As an educator I think this shirt it hilarious. Love the popsicle shirt.

It's not cool to be mediocre.

I was going to buy it, then I read "A, B, C, D, F", major disappointment :(

Cute. But I love the coffee stain cats even more.

omg, wookie cookies are the best!

Well, since my entire college career consisted of "get a C or a D, and I'll be good," this, of course, was a given.

serraslave said: I was going to buy it, then I read "A, B, C, D, F", major disappointment :(

In America they don't have E's. They just skip straight to F (or Fail). So it is actually intentional.

This confused me majorly when I first moved to the US from Ireland....

No it isn't. There IS a picture of a fist, but it isn't even similar enough to violate a logo's copyright. Nice try though.

finally someone gets it :D
"Best villain ever?
The Yuuzhan Vong from Star Wars New Jedi Order books. They are the meanest, nastiest, evil bad guys in the Star Wars galaxy. Undetectable by The Force with no regard for other species, especially those that value technology and machines, they are impossible to defeat. Well, almost. Read the books to find out what happens. Or you can just look it up on Wookieepedia. Wow, that was incredibly nerdy! You’re not going to put this out on the Internet, right?"
P.S. i love Wookiepedia

Teefury, I need you to know that I never have posted a comment, but I so desperately NEED that recycle side art... I swear, it's like the fundamentals of my life wrapped up in a shirt... Please, please, please, PLEASE PRINT and I can at least guarantee me and my 3 siblings will be sold on that.

A B C D F? Is that deliberate?

Almost didnt make it home in time to buy this one! Deposited my paycheck this morning then worked all day! Glad I got it though this shirt is killer!

Yes, it was deliberate. There is no "E" in U.S. public school grading systems.
