you should write scripts - they would be much better than anything that is coming out now - and your shirt should get printed
|
|
This is the shirt I MUST HAVE! I love this, although I do miss the faded maze behind the ghosts.
$5! |
|
if ross and the gang want this printed and take a look at the blog options, i'll put the maze in or whatever they want. i liked the maze too, but the masses said without. :/
|
|
This is awesome. Brillaint use if limited colors. the whole design kicks ass. I really wish your story was true.
|
|
I haven't bought a shirt from Threadless in a long time, but you can be sure that I'll be buying this on day one!
|
|
Dude, you didn't make that up. You're not the only one that has seen a Russian movie before. Cool reference though.
|
|
I was just having fun with letters. The design does well with or without the halftone maze in the background.
|
|
Are you kidding me?! I totally fell for the story. I feel so gullible now. Hahaa. That was simply amazing. I'd almost buy the shirt just for the story.
|
|
Yeah..omg I was so fooled lol. That was like the best little story I've ever read! :) This is crazy cool, but the ghost/demons look exactly like ones off some old Scooby Doo episode... :)
|
|
Great Design! And i think that story should be printed in the back of the shirt where the size label is.
|
|
THREADLESS: I love travis so much that I even went offsite to buy one of his prints you REJECTED! Please let me give you money for this!
|
|
i'm thinking if this one gets called up i'll add cherries, a banana and orange in the scatter so it doesn't just look like it's about DRUGS.
|
|
You deserved well over the 3.0 mark for this one. I hope Threadless sees the genius in this design and prints it. It's really amazing!!!
|
|
oh - whew! thought i was going to have to get legal on some asses.... no plans yet. i'm waiting to see if threadless picks it up before it's 90 days, or at least the 555 is announced.
|
|
That is pure greatness. I think despite my having no money I will have to order this. And when people ask what it means I will tell the story (and where I got it of course).
|
|
heh. they should send out a printed slip of the story with every shirt.
or heck, just print this page, misspellings and all. |
|
Man Im obsessed with it, every time I watch it keeps getting better. Of course they should print the story, thats what makes it awesome!!! But I dont have money aaaaaaaaaaaaaarggh
|
|
I just got mine in the mail today and I love it!! The colors are even more vibrant in person! And I've already told the story 3 times!
|
|
PS: I'm not really stupid, I just never scored this design - or read the comments / story before today.
|
|
people are still talking about this one all over the internet...everybody has a 'when i realized the punchline' story...it's great....!
so reprint it on black for them! ;D |
|
If they printed this on the new Threadless t-shirts, I would definately be buying the t-shirt as well!
|
|
this design i never got, but now that i see what is happening i truly feel it is one of the most well done art pieces here.
great job man! |
True story:
In 1976, Cosmonaut Nikolai Peckmann was sent alone to an orbiting space station for what would be called Mission Six- to study the radiation levels and strange circumstances that killed all four crewmen of the last research mission.
By the third day, Peckmann's broken transmissions were coming back to ground control filled with increasing paranoia and delusion. He claimed that the spirits of the dead cosmonauts were coming to claim him, and that he had to keep moving to evade them. He shouted that if he could capture consume these spirits himself while he still had strength, he could move to the next level of consciousness...Truly the rantings of an insane man.
Indeed, video recovered later would show Peckmann running around the confined but maze-like station, downing emergency sedatives like a madman....pausing in a corner momentarily, only to throw back vitamin pills and give chase to his invisible demons.
He had exhausted the entire cargo of vitamins, pills, and fresh fruit well ahead of schedule. There was no way another crew could be assembled to rescue him before he starved. After one rather violently garbled transmission, the static cleared and the last live image on record is that of Peckmann's empty, wilted spacesuit on the cabin floor.
It was determined that another mission to recover any remains or gather any more research would be a waste of the people's money, and the station was allowed to drift out of orbit and into space- a failure never to be mentioned again. It was ordered and assumed that all video and paper evidence had been destroyed.
..then, at the dawn of the eighties, a fledgling arcade game company called NAMCO would stumble across the transcripts of these events, and the rest -as they say- is history.
okay i just made all that crap up, but with or without a story, I hope it's a cool design.
