1) I spelled camouflage wrong the first time....'camoflauge'. it's a common mistake, apparently. Camoflauge (the wrong way) was also an upcoming gangsta rapper from my area that was shot in the studio. neat-o. didn't know that until i checked google for spelling after i already subbed it wrong.

2)i slipped in a threadless sticker at the last minute behind the roller derby flyer..XIV suggested it, and it seemed like a good idea. take that pesky counterfitters!

3) the cracked skull is an old logo i used for my comic 'brand' in highschool. i produced five issues of 'toejamboree' under the bonehead label, even making a read along storybook called 'the cool guys' to pass my AP english class.

4) farting robot deserves his own shirt.

5) the 3 eyed pipe smoking head is a manip of the 'church of the subgenius's mascot, Bob Dobbs. http://www.subgenius.com/
it's a guerilla art movement/fake church, of which I am a member, alias PASTOR BEDTIME

6) the hello my name is name is bullshit. not literally the word bullshit.

7)the andre the giant stats were switched. now he'a short and fat.

8)'van or astrovan' is of course, making fun of the awesome athens based band, man or astroman. check 'em out. i think they just broke up though.

9)''edo ergo sum'' means 'i eat therefore i am.'

10)tonya knows what she did is not an inside joke or anything. i just like gossipfiti of random people. if your name is tanya, than maybe you know what you did, but i don't.

11) the phone # of prof. stinkyboots owner was going to be 867-5309, since it's free to use, but i thought better of it.

12) connor the zombie cop's head from 'zombie's were people too' is used, and damnit, now that'll probably never get printed...!

13)'NFXN' (infection) was the name of another zombie shirt i was working on at the time.

14) victoria's secret service was once the name of a band some comic characters of mine were in...their schtick was dressing like secret service agents in full MIB attire, but with panties, lingerie and bras over the suits.

15) that's not the EXPLOITED skull, but i guess i subconsciously remembered it when i drew it.

16) remebering to change the color of stuff behind the tape was a pain in the ass, so enjoy it!

17) if you decode the japanese beside BOB (by the font astro2k) i think it says 'art' , 'die' or 'sex', i don't remember anymore.

18) 'waste' is written or fonted out a couple times. i don't know if it's a national or local tag, but 'waste' always seems to be written on dumpsters around here that are notorious for having good dumpster dive-worthy stuff inside.

travis76
   travis76 on Aug 14 '06 at 3:25pm

Taiwanese counterfitters? You mean China! Taiwan has intellectual property laws. Don't diss my home country.
travis76
   travis76 on Aug 14 '06 at 3:42pm
sorry kojima, i've just heard people tell stories about the threadless knock-offs they've gotten/seen in hong kong, the phillipines, and taiwan....(but i can't site the blogs) :(
Robotron5
Robotron5 on Aug 14 '06 at 3:44pm
I'll back you up Trav, they have mostly been Taiwan etc that people have stated they have seen knock offs, only remeber a couple being mentioned re china :(

The Japanese katakana says "Toisa" (To-I-Sa)...could be read as the English word "toys" I guess, or maybe you just typed a three letter word and switched it to a Japanese font, thinking it would be transliterated into Japanese? You wouldn't be the first designer to make that mistake.

At any rate, I bought the shirt like I said I would. Can't wait for casual Friday. Great work.
travis76
   travis76 on Aug 14 '06 at 4:05pm
no, i didn't think it would translate for me...i typed random 3 letter words until i liked all the characters together...and i figured a designer with the same font would decipher it. i'm glad it says something at all in real japanese. ironically, in font code, i'm pretty sure it says sex, and in japanes it says toys? interesting.

Congrats on the print Travis. Been waiting for this one ever since you put it in a blog. Best threadless shirt in the past three months!
Ste7en

another interesting fact is I bought it for just $1 with shipping included!
travis76
   travis76 on Aug 14 '06 at 4:15pm
...and i just got an offer to do more shirts by another company...neat-o! but i'm not gonna name names here...
thanks threadless for putting my name and work out there! forever my first submission site! :)
travis76
   travis76 on Aug 14 '06 at 4:17pm
I WISH I COULD TAKE THAT BACK..doesn't sound right. threadless printing me and me even mentioning anybody else. still, it's cool to have someone see your stuff and instantly write you....even if %80 of the time it's a scam...

there's a pro basketball player (Shawn marion) who wanted his nickname "The Matrix" in chinese tattooed on his body - what the tattoo actually says "Demon BIrd Moth Balls." Which is maybe a better nickname, but also a moral - don't mess with languages you neither speak nor write.

The best compliments I ever received here (that haven't been deleted):

-from the master:
--------Glennz on Jul 12 '06 at 2:53am
I think there will be a few different subs in the top 20 once all the loves threadless have finsihed scoring. Travis has to be up there somewhere, his last few subs have lifted the bar on here--------

-from the co-owner:
skaw on Jul 07 '06
yea this is super neat, i would wear it

-from a blogger:

starr226 on Jul 07 '06
I don't know if anyone else who's been hanging around threadless for far too long (like myself) gets really excited when under-printed designers put out a sure thing - but I know I do. I feel the same way about this as when I first saw "No Peeking" by Jublin. That "THIS is a print and it couldn't happen to a better person."
Enjoy your...uh...12 pack of Red Bull.
