About the long sleeves...

about Elephas Maximus

First of all a big wet kiss on the lips to Threadless and the voters for choosing my design as the good winner, it´s rocking my world . Secondly, I think the short-sleeved version rocks! But maybe that is because I have really hairy arms. Third, a long sleeve version, without belt printing is totally possible, all you have to do is get rid of the elephant´s forehead and let the shape of the shoulder do the trick. (re-try at some point? maybe?)

Oh wait, there´s a fourth!
Interview

Again, thank youuuuu!!

You could also use a Sharpie to draw the rest of the elephant on your arm!

I will already be buying half the stock of these up so we can get that long-sleeve/hoodie reprint....I'll just be the random t-shirt man throwing them at whomever wants to look like an elephant born with an irregularly short trunk! congrats Montro, can't wait until the second printing.

chelly on Apr 21 '08 at 11:32am

the interview is great btw

can i have your autograph

valeriieee on Apr 21 '08 at 12:02pm

Okay, I LOVE this (and oddly enough, I drew a shirt sketch very similar to it when I was 9, though yours is much, MUCH better), but I truly think I NEEDS to be a long sleeved tee. It's cute and it's fun...but I need it in long sleeves. Pleeeeease? :)

valeriieee on Apr 21 '08 at 12:03pm

"I?" no, "it." wake up, girl.

FRICKINAWESOME on Apr 21 '08 at 12:56pm

We'll just have to paint our left arm gray and make elephant noises all day long with peanuts in our hands to make the joke work....this one just needs a little extra help by the wearer, the shirt can't ALWAYS do all the work!

Tyra may have taught me how to smile with my eyes but through Threadless I´ve learned something way more important.: how to draw a sammich car.

lol. YES!

super congrats man!

dirkalinger on Apr 21 '08 at 1:12pm

PLEASE.
i'm hoping to grab this shirt by the end of today,
but i'm hoping they reprint this with long sleeves even more!!

dacat on Apr 21 '08 at 2:58pm

Congrats! I can wear a long sleeve under this, no problem!

mfgeorge on Apr 21 '08 at 3:11pm

congrats tom!

this is the first shirt in a long time i've wanted to buy, but it needs to be a long-sleeve...

/waiting & hoping

whatacutie. on Apr 21 '08 at 6:06pm

congrats on winning, tom! your design is supa creative!!! plus you're so hilarious in your interview xD i can't wait to see more of your designs!

Lemjok on Apr 22 '08 at 11:30am

Wow, you're just scooping in the prizes, aren't you. Talented kid you must be. Really liked the citrus thing.
This one confuses me a bit though - it appears to be some sort of visual double entendre that I can't find. Is there something in this design that I can't see?

Congrats! Already sold-out in my size?! Anyway, great design, if they do a re-print I hope on a grey hoody!

rainbow_nonstop on Apr 23 '08 at 8:40pm

yea this is really cute

valeriieee on Apr 24 '08 at 7:27am

lemjok - you're maybe just thinking too hard :) the concept is that the wearer's left arm is the elephant's trunk. the wearer's right shoulder makes the elephant's butt, and the right arm would be the back leg. see, it really works better with long sleeves, so the color is all the same and the design makes more sense. :)
