Well thanks to you for sharing such a beautiful design with us. I can't wait to wear this on Tuesday. I'm bound to get a great reaction from my classmates and strangers alike! :D

This reminds me of Battlestar Galactica (2003).
Episode 313: taking a break from all your worries.

Hilarious! I'd consider wearing it, but I'd be a bit worried about the sporting something with gay innuendo around San Francisco. ;)

Great Job, and congrats!

The irony and pop reference is A1. Very powerful and unforgetable image design, contrast galore, humor and relevant to our times. To me it has the same lasting impression as the "Andre the Giant" OBEY image.

LaSouris, I've never heard of Eric Joyner (just checked his site) but they are, in fact, the same robots. They are the famous Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots which was a really popular toy when I was a kid. But no, I didn't get the idea from him.

Judging from his site it looks like all his painting use real toys (or robots from movies) as inspiration for his paintings. All those robots are based on real toys you could buy at one time or another.
