oh and everything people said about the other t-shirt has been done to this one. Like its hanging from the shirt. Oh and there is something on the front. Was the other shirt printed? This is a sock monkey by the way, not just any old monkey.

I like the idea but i agree with the tail. It really disturbs me.
MissYosHi
MissYosHi on Nov 30 '06
Hmmm... good idea...
But we cant seem to understand if the monkey's showing up his back or his front side, coz the head is facing us but so is the tail...
I understand what you wanted to do, but you screwed up the perspective...

As a monkey-phobic person I just have to say AHHHHHHHHHH.

But cute, I guess. :)

That's not phallic, it's just a crazy outie of a belly button! No, it's a tail and it doesn't look like a penis, silly people. Design-wise, it isn't a bit like the (unprinted) other monkey shirt. Giving the monkey a banana to lust after on the front of the shirt is a good touch, and hopefully a reminder to everyone to eat more potassium. My complaint against the shirt: I just don't like sock monkeys.
kalien
kalien on Nov 30 '06
bummer
kalien
kalien on Nov 30 '06
I do agree that I screwed up the perspective. That can be fixed. I will take the tail off. Then no one has to comment on the tail. Right?

Love the sock monkey! Agreed, the tail is pretty phalic.
A couple of tweaks and its a keeper. I also like this style more than that other shirt. This would mess up the whole "monkey on your back thing, but what if you had the monkey on the front and his arms wrapped around the collar of the shirt and connect via velcro?
You know, like those long armed stuffed monkeys that you hang on stuff.

marizzle on Nov 30 '06
i like it. but oh that tail...
kalien
kalien on Nov 30 '06
what if there was no tail? I was thinking that might be better. What do you guys think?
kalien
kalien on Nov 30 '06
Yeah I could place the monkey in the front instead of the back.
kalien
kalien on Nov 30 '06
I don't know why but i think it might be better with no penis oops I mean no tail.
laurelxcore
laurelxcore on Nov 30 '06
Yeah, no tail. It is mistakable for a penis, other than that...really cute.

I love that the button eyes aren't sewn on perfectly. Cool.
MooseDinner

you should just make the tail kinda wavy, and go off to the side. and your phallic problems are over.
lesquelette
lesquelette on Nov 30 '06
Ditto to what MooseDinner said. Sock monkey has to have a tail though.

Question: How come people can say 'penis,' but not use 'breasts (vs. boobs, boobis, tits)?'
lesquelette
lesquelette on Nov 30 '06
'boobies'

(*dies of laughter* Sorry, but this thread is hilarious)

Yes, if you can't think of anything better then you should lose the tail. If you radically changed the placement and the way it, erm, hangs, it would work better. *cough* What I mean is, you might be able to keep the tail if you made it...

Sigh. It's all been said. Glad you're good-natured about this. Very cute! :)

lol. wow- lesquelette really has an issue with the underusage of the word breast on this site (this is the second time ive seen her mention it)! And people say weiner and dick all the time on here too. Anywho, about the design, there is simply no comparison to that other previous Threaldess design to this one other than they were both derived from the same saying or quote. This is actually really creative, and i don't really give two shits about the tail, but i would love to see the monkey reaching over the top of the shirt with one of his/her hands, almost touching the banana, so that way it looks really intruiging from the front and people will automatically look at the back of the shirt. Plus it gives the whole design more action. Oh, and the tail kinda looks like a male boing!!! object.
kalien
kalien on Dec 01 '06
: ) Frickenawesome- Thats a good idea about the front of the shirt. I wonder if people will think the monkey is reaching for a penis. Just kidding. Its a good idea I will revamp the design and resubmit.
kalien
kalien on Dec 01 '06
I really was trying to make the bananna look like a penis.
Kidding again :)
fuchsboi
fuchsboi on Dec 01 '06
It is cute... maybe the tail should be curled up or something... I totally see what everyone means.
Raj Mahtaj
Raj Mahtaj on Dec 01 '06
Maybe make the tail all brown as well. It's the lighter colored uh, tip at the end that really makes it looks like a penis.
kalien
kalien on Dec 01 '06
I see what people mean too. I actualy corrected it before all the hub bub. The new version just has not been posted yet.
kalien
kalien on Dec 01 '06
if someone drew a man with a penis i wonder how many people would say get rid of the tail.

MooseDinner
MooseDinner on Dec 01 '06
the light color on the tip is part of the sock monkey look. it's necessary. I agree with what frickinawesome about the hand reaching to the front, but that would have to go over the shoulder seam. unless you made it reach around from the side, but I don't think that would look very good.
kalien
kalien on Dec 01 '06
So you they can't print over a shoulder seam. Hmm this is harder than i thought.

the monkey COULD be cuter.. but I like how the hands show in the front so he's really hanging on your shoulders.

sock monkey!!
sarah21683
sarah21683 on Dec 01 '06
I think it has to have a tail: 1. because sock monkeys have tails and 2. because all monkeys in the natural world have tails...if there's not tail it would be a sock ape.
Meron
Meron on Dec 02 '06
i think the idea is really sweet....but YES please do something about the monkey's body

use something besides a monkey, like.. an octopus!
BORN2SHOPLC
BORN2SHOPLC on Dec 02 '06
use something besides a monkey!!?!?!!??! No, I love it. And sock monkeys are even greater, more unique. But I understand people's points there is sooo much monkey stuff out right now. I give it a $4..it'd be more w/o the tail or whatever in the front, lol.
kalien
kalien on Dec 02 '06
I like the octopus idea
antagonizer
antagonizer on Dec 02 '06
Ahhhhh. It's so cute. But, one, the tail. It's... ahhhh. But it can always be fixed. And I like Frickenawsome's idea about the monkey reaching over the shoulder to grab the banana. Then people will look at the back and be like "Oh, that is so clever!" Yeah, this idea with the monkey adn the banana is clever alright. I like.

thats where evolution gets us.
we used to be cloth and have huge wangs for tails. but now look at us. all pasty, no tails at all, and in jackanapes words, there's no more good dick-lassoing anymore.
funny shirt, cant wait to see the improved version.
myowndojo
myowndojo on Dec 04 '06
Yeah the tail is phallic but I love the concept so I'd like to see the new *and improved!* version.
kalien
kalien on Dec 05 '06
they declined my resub. Said it was not different enough from this one. I will post the new version on my flickr site if anyone wants to see it
