A thoroughly brilliant design! Needless to say I'll be purchasing this as a print to hang on my wall very soon! (And it most definitely will not be a bootleg!)

classic. bought this shirt when it was originally released, still own it, people comment on it all the time. it's awesome.
also: one of my roommates had a poster with this design and I'm pretty sure they didn't buy it from threadless :\ I feel bad that you (the artist) aren't getting much credit for it, but as you said, it keeps the idea alive...

Mother Russia approves

Yes I designed this, many moons ago. My name is Tom Burns, and I approve this message.
This design is actually the one that started the "internet meme" you speak of.
Yes it has been bootlegged, ripped off, all of the above by countless derps all across the world. That can't really be stopped, so basically it just keeps the idea out there and pumping, so in alot of ways, even though neither threadless or I am making any money off of this theft, it actually keeps this little joke going..

all of your negative comments fall on deaf ears.
this is, was, will forever be the best selling threadless shirt of all time.
tom burns is still winning!

I'm fairly certain this design started as a meme on the internet, and was quickly stolen by multiple people calling it their own. This person more than likely being one of them.

We could call this a revotionary design...

I've seen this t-shirt design on sale at the independent retailer Cafe Society Clothing Co. in Aberystwyth this week. It was definitely identical to yours in every way. I wondered if there was some deal going on with Threadless that I didn't know about, but the manufacturer's label said that it came from a company called 'Chimpanzee.' Do you know anything about this? I spoke to the shop assistant, and she said that she'd ask the manager to have a word with their supplier, but I really thought the artist should know before I go barging about.
