I say yes

oh no

it does look like something byyou...

yes!

what the hell?

that's motherfucking infuriating...I am initially incensed on your behalf, but then...I think...there were seemingly 200 glennz ripoff styles printed...imitation as flattery?

screw it, let's work him over with tire irons.

i say you get all of it

the cupcake in the second color option looks like a cheap version of your ice cream sub

"that's motherfucking infuriating"

haha how do you think I feel.

"imitation as flattery?"

I think of it more like, $2000 that shouldnt belong to him

huh? i thought it was you

fuck that guy

when i saw the original colorscheme, i thought it was one of yours.

I was sure it was one of yours.
it's crazy

i mean, god knows you didn't invent 20's cartoon eyes, but all other resemblance is astounding. i wonder if we'll ever hear from this guy.

Sometimes life just sucks man. If it makes you feel any better I thought your hear attack sub was much more effective.

the heart looks like a fucking strawberry anyway.

*heart*

it sucks when you're delicious is 10000000 x's better

The main color scheme definitely reminds me of your work...but the grey version looks like an old silly symphony cartoon...and I cant help but think that you too were inspired by that same old style.

You guys are blaming the guy but it is really threadless you should all be mad at. After all, they are the ones that decided to print it, right?

Once again we see that threadless is a business that is out to make money!!! They do not care about the artists, they don't care about the community....they care about making money.

its not just the eyes. It is a lot of things, including his sad attempt at creating a crazed look, which is something I managed to do in both of mine.

The guys an idiot anyways, he cant deny it. He even subbed that shit to a contest with "start a new trend" as the theme, even when the rules said "and for the love of god, no more food with faces sub"

I'm tired of all the idiots on Threadless who will do anything to get their hands on $2000, and I'm even more tired of Threadless choosing this garbage....fuck

oh I really thought it was you just fucking with us.

well that's fucking horseshit, man. I'm sorry. and I feel ashamed for threadless right now.

I mean threadless should be... ashamed. I feel only heat and cold.

mike, you should get the prize, gaddamened! this is friggin friggin SIMILAR and everybody knows is as well

i thought this was your design mike!
damn, that sucks.

i though your talking fruit shirt design was funny.
does this look like yours? yes - they both look like early 1900's cartoon style-ish drawings. are you saying you have rights to that style illustration?

and to top it off, it isnt even funny....

wtf threadless.....so disapointing

"i though your talking fruit shirt design was funny.

Show me a 1900's drawing that looks like mine. The eyes are inspired, thats it. I got printed, this shows up weeks later in the same style....now please, no more stupid comments

corey*, look at the cupcake in the winning design, then look at this:

http://www.threadless.com/submission/77612/It_Sucks_When_You_re_Delicious

i mean, c'mon.

i thought this was your design mike!
damn, that sucks.

Lol. When I was looking at Spence's predictions today I was excited... Thought you had another print. Even after I saw this how ever long ago and commented on how it was a total crap take on your style. :(

I wasnt just saying eyes, I was saying that kind of eerie manic style with the gloves and long rounded bendy arms and legs



like that but in black and white...oddly thats all I could find

either way, I dont know why it was printed, I think its kinda funny, but does threadless need another food with faces shirt at the moment? Im not anti food with faces...just I dont think its time for another...let alone 2...

certainly inspired by yours but his limb body and teeth style are different to yours. I think you're just having a bit of a whinge, if you're design isn't that original in the first place and it seems like it's ripped, it's probably just that it wasn't that original in the first place... You should get printed for some of your new stuff anyway.

GAH!

i just looked at this shirt and came to your page to tell you about it.

but you beat me to it.

anyways my point is...
mike mitchell > adam kelley

you win (by a bazillion).

man, thats whack

it has similarities to mikes subs, but moreso to the various things he posts here from time to time...sketchbooks, etc.
i'd safely say there are more than 4 different stylistic and theme similarites to an assortment of stickymike designs.

im looking to track it down...
ive seen this stuff before.
now please, no more stupid comments mike.

Ah come on Mike. Yeah, it's very similar to some of your stuff, and it should perhaps not have been printed because of its similarity to something that had been printed previously.

But maybe the designer took inspiration from the same source as you? I could be wrong of course, but it's a possibility.

"

I find in art, this is more then likely never the case

Ste7en, I see what your saying and half agree, but I'd be more inclined to say yea, attempting a similar look but this guy's other sub is nothing like it.

actually.. i invented all this..

unless you drew this exact same thing, put it up on the web somewhere and he copied straight from that you have no real reason to bash someone for winning a t-shirt contest on the internet

thats the beauty of it really, you dont have to have an art degree you dont have to go to school you dont have to really know what your doing, its an open contest to anyone and any style even if its a style someone else uses

I'm tired of all the idiots on Threadless who will do anything to get their hands on $2000, and I'm even more tired of Threadless choosing this garbage....fuck

but you got $2000 for garbage just like this from what your sayin, style wise and theme wise - so why are you so butt hurt

DOWN WITH FWF !!!




[sorry for my picketting mike]
i am marching all up and down threadless chanting my stike-slogan...i guess i need some more slogans]

I know I didnt invent the eyes....but I did incorporate it into a unique idea with the food and such, making them creepy and making it my own

thats just my opinion though....

riiiiight nata... did you also invent the shitty prints and reprints of today too?


sorry but the slits in the eye balls even face the same direction, as well as the mouth being the same shape and side. Placement of features is identical to mike's previous subs. This guy completely ripped off mike, hands down.

I want to punch somebody.

ekaj....theres no beauty in pretending to be an artist, making crap art, and getting paid $2000 for it...sorry

and I believe my submissions are above and beyond the like of Hooray Cholesterol

people ripping off other peoples style in the art world = big no no, but what would you know.....

side=size

Space, you can punch me.

Just not too hard okay?

in any case... there would appear to be quite a few people... no too happy with the prints of today... so you can shove it up threadless' ass by not purchasing from them.

That's uncalled for. It's a t-shirt contest and everyone has an equal right to win it. Isn't doing anything to get one's hands on the prize kind of the point in such a contest?

Unless of course it's out and out plagiarism, which this isn't.
