Hotness!

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 12 '11 at 12:10pm

I prefer it in one color :) it becomes sort of a clever graphic texture on a tee

gumbolimbo on Sep 12 '11 at 12:24pm

I kinda like the idea of gold ink on black myself.

gumbolimbo on Sep 12 '11 at 2:08pm

Not even sure if that's an option any more, printing in gold dust?

xiv on Sep 12 '11 at 2:16pm

gold and silver foil or metallic ink would be pretty sweet.

Chengui on Sep 12 '11 at 2:19pm

They still do gold foil! They just reprinted that victorla DJ one - it's loaded with gold foil.

Chengui on Sep 12 '11 at 2:20pm

Amazing hand-text by the way. I always have to look closely at your stuff to spot the tiny differences that convince me it's not a font ;)

This time it was the curlz in the O's :D

gumbolimbo on Sep 12 '11 at 2:24pm

thanks Chengui. I may finetune it a bit here and there though, as I can see some errors oinking out!

It's getting quite a good reaction on flickr, so I guess I'll sub it, as metallic/gold foil, perhaps the colour version as secondary option.

Morkki on Sep 12 '11 at 2:30pm

Shiny gold yes please

bcrider on Sep 12 '11 at 2:32pm

LOVE. Either way. Both ways. ALL WAYS.

SuperRyan on Sep 12 '11 at 8:11pm

I'm partial to the colorful one, but gold is nice. Ballin' like Snoop with dat shit dawg.

Manupix on Sep 12 '11 at 9:15pm

mirisch on Sep 13 '11 at 5:48am

The coloured one is totally great! Especially foxtrott. What a crazy dance!

The Paper Crane on Sep 13 '11 at 5:52am

lush type!

gumbolimbo on Sep 13 '11 at 10:00am

cheers, cheers. It's in the queue. Hope it gets approved before it runs out of tumblr fame!

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 13 '11 at 10:22am

wowzers!

gumbolimbo on Sep 14 '11 at 1:56am

So.... it's up!

Let's see if the tumblr love translates to Threadless and convinces the type haters :)

gumbolimbo on Sep 14 '11 at 1:58am

It's up!

gumbolimbo on Sep 14 '11 at 1:59am

Threadless post update kinda wonky?

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 14 '11 at 2:14am

yeah, sometimes it won't bump

gumbolimbo on Sep 14 '11 at 9:30am

I wish I could divert the tumblr love train to Threadless...

gumbolimbo on Sep 15 '11 at 4:28am

SHAMELESS BUMP

gumbolimbo on Sep 19 '11 at 3:50am

I must admit the results on Threadless are a bit dissapointing, especially considering how much love this type design has gotten outside of the threadless realm.

Seems like the design will sag below the 2.65 line in the few days it's still got left. Not really bad, but not great either.

It was an interesting experiment for me nonetheless. You don't know this sort of thing if you don't try. Next time, I'll play it safe with cutesy animals again, though!

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 19 '11 at 4:10am

i know that feeling.. specially if it started great
