About my design

by southworth   
A parody of/tribute to the great Ed Roth. Also a rework of a previous, somewhat poorly-received design.



YEAH!

funny. it doesnt need the text
southworth
   southworth on Jan 15 '07
Thanks! And it does need the text, if the parody is going to hold up. Almost all of the Ed Roth t-shirts had big, bombastic, cartoony text on them.

Awesome! Personally, I don't like white tshirts, but the design is awesome enough I might overlook that. :)

the only problem i see with this shirt is that the mouse is not on the table.

Urban Raptor: Yeah, but neither are the keyboard, CDs, or webcam. The whole thing is in a state of motion, so everything is kind of up in the air and all over the place. Thanks, everybody!

looks a whole lot like this to me. Under "Our Work" and it's the Yoohoo - Burnt Rubber Summer (on the rubix cube thing closest one to the images 2 box)



Not saying you copied just very similar.

p.s. not sure if this person was tributing Ed Roth or if Ed Roth was the illustrator either.
southworth
   southworth on Jan 16 '07
Well yeah, there's a lot of Ed Roth-style stuff out there. But this is a parody, in that it's taking the original spirit of the illustrations, which was a Hot Rodder gearhead mentality, and juxtaposing it with the opposite; Nerd Culture.

Change that Star Trek logo into a Horde or Alliance WoW logo and you get twice the mileage. (plus, it's nerd 2.0!)

It'd be a little nicer on a different color shirt, but not nearly as nerdy. I can't wait to spill Dr. Pepper on it, It's glorious!
