I like the illustration, but the title and Keter's comment puts it in perspective. I don't want to walk around wearing a shirt showing how 'normal' people think 'retarded' people look. That's just horribly offensive and ignorant. Otherwise I would have scored high.
just to catch this one before it gets all out of proportion:
1)this has nothing to do with how 'normal' people think 'retarded' people look (a statement that is more telling about your views than anything else). it's a drawing.
2)if it helps, ignore the title. they asked for one, i thought of one that seemed to fit.
3) have a good day.
Q: What's better then winning the special Olympics?
A: Not being retarded.
Sorry for the bad joke. About the design, I really don't find this horribly offensive its just a play on words, which makes this actually kind of funny. Cartoons have been making fun of stuff like this for many of years, like the dodo bird.
I like it, it seems as though the sun is super excited (ren and stimpy style) and up to no good!
I think it looks great on all the colors too!
What a wonderful expression you've captured, it really is great!
jeezus. okay, i hate defending/explaining my work, because i usually don't care. but there seems to be people out there WAY too touchy about something that's actually completely ridiculous.
as cottoneyelizzer said, not being bright does not necessarily equal being handicapped. how people are reading this as being offensive to mentally handicapped people is beyond me. it's a drawing of the sun, making a ridiculous face. it's not an anti-handicapped manifesto. it's a sun.
personally, i find people who automatically equate being dumb with being handicapped, and feel handicapped people should be treated with kid gloves to be offensive.
to everyone else: thanks
lovemyshirts: ha ha, awesome, this design was actually inspired by ren & stimpy, or rather spumco's work in general.
-end rant-
dont worry about the people leaving dumb comments about how its offensive... threadless likes designs more (as theyve stated) where people either love it or hate it
hmm..i don´t get why some people feel offended by that,doesn´t look handicapped in my opinion,it´s just an very excited fella...some people might forget that people with ugly faces do have a right to be loved,too......my love for it is the 5$!
i also like the ren and stimpy reference in there...this tee makes me feel happy...good job!
wow! Why isn't this in the Cranium competition? Love love LOVE the expression...i didn't read everyone's problems with the man's face, but i adore this design and his Ren and Stimpy "I just farted for five minutes straight" guilty but pleased with himself look! Awesome in the center and on purple. 4$
It looks like he just made a poot and is torn on weather to be shy or laugh about it. In short, I FUCKING LOVE HOW PRECIOUS HE LOOKS. Great sun rays and lighting on the hillside, too!
compmonkey made me laugh out loud at work, i love the word sperm! i already liked the design as a spumco inspired sun, but as an almost fertilized egg, i can only say one thing - happy!happy!joy!joy! $5

This is so awesome and I have no idea why. Not something I'd wear, probably, but awesome all the same.
Keter
Good artwork, but until I can produce enough energy to run a solar system, I think I will refrain from calling the sun retarded. ;o)

STOP TAKLING THE TITLES SO LITERALLY, ASSHATS.
Interpret the art YOURSELF.
That's what art is all about!
OrangeRadioKitty
I'm sorry, I was more offended by the second comment and that people would view it that way, which really irks me 'cause my brother has special needs.
The artwork is great.
