Very similar DBH design

about Mister Mittens' Big Adventure

I'm not usually one to do this, but:
Similar DBH tshirt

Just to clarify before I get more trolling:
Both artists put a lot of work into both their great designs. But because both come along at once, they'll probably draw some attention away from eachother.

That is all I'm saying. If you bother to look at the congrats blog, you'll see that I've actually congratulated him.

shoosh

Psssh.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Jul 21 '08 at 10:04am

Original submission text. Look at the date.

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:04am

I'm not really criticising. Both are awesome, but they are rather similar.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:05am

Great investigative report. I look forward to your next offering.

You obviously missed the discussion about this in the new shirts spoiler blog..

13strong on Jul 21 '08 at 10:05am

They actually don't look that much alike at all, except for the cat+lasers content. The style and execution is totally different.

I like both of 'em.

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:06am

I'm not saying the Threadless one is a copy. I'm saying maybe it inspired the DBH one, which got printed first.

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:06am

Jeez, lighten up. I wasn't saying any stole anything. I was just saying they remind me of eachother.

angelito on Jul 21 '08 at 10:07am

hush.

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 10:07am

yeh DBH artist is potentially rip off artist, but i haven't looked into it that much to actually point a finger

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:07am

oh you're playing coy, koi.

koi.

The threadless one was subbed first but DBH printed the other one quicker.

Torakamikaze on Jul 21 '08 at 10:07am

well since its belt printed its not printed by our normal printers so we have to send threadless shirts off to them. the first time they printed it the halftones were much too big so i had to redo that, then they have to send all the shirts back to our normal printers who then added that cat, again had to adjust some sizes of things ( i really wanted this shirt perfect) and finally we have a lot of printed stuff in the que so i just had to wait. it was picked a week after it was done scoring (before that other shirt was even in the running) it really broke my heart when i saw it was printed. mittens really has been my favorite design at this point and i knew we would get the "oh how cconvenient threadless printed that now" or "why would they print it when dbh has a shirt like that"

moral of the story...i need to stop doing belt prints for everything

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:08am

I would enjoy more pictures of Koi.

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '08 at 10:08am

Cos the DBH one is shitter and easier to print.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:08am

Maybe some koi with hats?

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:09am

how about a Koi Hat?

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 10:10am

y'all in the inner-sanctum-circle who are "in the know" need to back off

obviously there are similarities and i remember joe posting something about being disappointed that dbh printed that after he subbed his design (not his comment in the spoiler blog either)

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:11am

think of the koi, won't someone think of the koi!?!

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:11am

Thanks Chelly.

All I was saying is that it's unfortunate that there's already a similar print.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:12am

Great. It's all patched. Time to play with the koi.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:12am

Yourhero on Jul 21 '08 at 10:16am

They were both stolen from SNL's Laser Cat's anyway.

shobattack on Jul 21 '08 at 10:16am

thanks captain obvious

speedyjvw on Jul 21 '08 at 10:18am

psh snl laser cats is overrated, this was way more inspired by tim and eric awesome show: great job!

anyways

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:19am

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:20am

If people want to be offensive, they should back off and do it elsewhere. I'm not making you read my blog. I just thought it was a pity that two designs looked quite similar.

shirtflirt on Jul 21 '08 at 10:20am

this shirt is part fugly and part magic

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:21am

Ok. Here's the thing VonBrookhofen. You can't make this kind of a blog and not expect the kind of reaction you received....and when you say it's a "pity" you're implying something. Unfortunately it was conceived the wrong way...so either roll with it...or post more koi pics

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:24am

What does 'pity' imply? I'll tell you how I meant it to mean in this sense. Both artists put a lot of work into both their great designs. But because both come along at once, they'll probably draw some attention away from eachother.

If I've come across as offensive, I haven't meant to be.

shirtflirt on Jul 21 '08 at 10:25am

it's a pity that parents just don't understand

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:25am

Huh?

mezo on Jul 21 '08 at 10:26am

Both designs make my eyeballs vomit.

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:27am

this blog is like some kind of circle.

lunchboxbrain on Jul 21 '08 at 10:28am

yeah...so, anybody see any good movies over the weekend?

fatheed on Jul 21 '08 at 10:28am

Rachel Brook makes a good point... the two designs are very similar...

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 10:28am

and yet more comments show up in this blog than the one congradulating joe...

Maltzmania on Jul 21 '08 at 10:29am

Chelly is right.

To the Speedymobile!

squatterjohn on Jul 21 '08 at 10:31am

The cats are facing in totally opposite directions.

Phiffer on Jul 21 '08 at 10:32am

mezo on Jul 21 '08 at 10:26am

Both designs make my eyeballs vomit.

HAHAHA

13strong on Jul 21 '08 at 10:34am

chelly - that's cos most people here are defending the designer.

VonBrookhofen on Jul 21 '08 at 10:35am

13strong: I don't think anyone is actually attacking the designer.

valorandvellum on Jul 21 '08 at 10:39am

Hey Joe, remember when you were working on this and you asked me what else you should put in it, and I was like, "lazerz". And then you were like, "You give me all the best ideas." And I was like, "yeah."

What does the back look like? Is it just blank?
