TMBG just contacted me...
I think this t-shirt might be taken down next Monday.




Just kidding, they love it! =P

Hello Matt,

I work for the band They Might Be Giants, and recently your Particle Man-theme shirt was brought to our attention. We think it's cute! The band would like to sell it on their website. What do you think?
Thanks for your time.

I refered them to a couple of the threadless peoples to organise it more specifically.

TMBG contacted me too, they said they were slightly turned off by your strong indistinguishable odor. how unfortunate

no you wont, band linking to a t-shirt they like. If they want a band t-shirt they can hire me to design one, you toss.
placentaVORE
placentaVORE on Oct 13 '06 at 4:18pm
they want to sell it on their website...a band website...a shirt on a band website...a band shirt

Hey Matt, that's great, congrats! It's always good when a band recognizes and supports their fans.
placentaVORE
placentaVORE on Oct 13 '06 at 4:19pm

Nodus on Oct 13 '06 at 4:20pm
Why couldn't Def Leppard have been that cool? Man.
shirtflirt
shirtflirt on Oct 13 '06 at 4:23pm
it's going to be construed as a band shirt now.

its outta yer hands matt, once it's posted on their website.
bananaphone
   bananaphone on Oct 13 '06 at 4:28pm
sure and if i ever promote music on my t-shirt site that makes it a music site.
shirtflirt
shirtflirt on Oct 13 '06 at 4:29pm
well, yeah, in a way.
Nodus
Nodus on Oct 13 '06 at 4:30pm
Logic rocks!
placentaVORE
placentaVORE on Oct 13 '06 at 4:39pm
sort of, yeah
bananaphone
   bananaphone on Oct 13 '06 at 4:55pm
no, it makes it a tshirt site that talked about music for a bit.

cmon people im not a they might be giants designer, ive done my couple of pieces based on them and now im off to even more mediocre things =P

   d3d on Oct 13 '06 at 5:49pm
i like how it says it was brought to thier attention, as if they're not the kind of guys who'd google themselves daily.
bananaphone
   bananaphone on Oct 13 '06 at 5:51pm
well as i said all along i never tried to hide the references to begin with, threadless knew they were there and said they know they might be giants anyway.

chances are they might be giants were just surfing the site themselves.

That's so cool. :) When I first saw the topic I thought it was going to be pulled (like the Def Leppard one). Congrats!

Congratulations on that though, Bananaphone. Quite prestigious and whatnot!
