About my design

by Jebs   
...that is the question :-) Sadistic...again, me? yeaaaaahhhhh! i had real fun doing this one, anyway, hope you'll like it! I took the background from my "ambush" design, i admit ;-)

haa love it.

i would wear it except for the shit part :]
caird
caird on Jan 18 '07
yeah, it definitely doesn't need "shit". the bubbles and "sweat" coming off of the diver say it all. love it :)
We_All_Float
We_All_Float on Jan 18 '07
awesome, but i i think that it would be funnier without the "shit" ...its kind of overkill , subtley is much funnier
nanahachi
nanahachi on Jan 18 '07

Haha! I love it!

ohitsxnicole on Jan 18 '07
Yea, the 'shit' isn't neccesary. Maybe replace with a '!' or just get rid of it. Other than that, I give you a 4.

Get rid of the text but other than that a 5$

hforhello on Jan 18 '07
I'd use ! instead of shit.
rudra
rudra on Jan 18 '07
don't like the "shit" - subtlety is better, and that makes it too joke-y - - - i'd reposition the diver so he's bending backward (to look up), waving his hands in a "stop! don't do it!" way - to evoke the panic that is "shit" without having to write "shit"
Number09
Number09 on Jan 18 '07
I agree with using just a ! instead of "shit."
Deluge
Deluge on Jan 18 '07
it's the same as your other one! its just like scooby doo where the background just keps getting recycled.
DannyDaemonic
DannyDaemonic on Jan 19 '07
I also think it would be better without the text. The picture relays that information.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 19 '07
so THANKS everybody! ok, i listened to you all: here is a version WITHOUT the text: click here or you can see it on my threadless blog... anyway, thankk for your comments and your time, that's appreciated sooo much.

can't help comparing it to stinger's print:

   grayehound on Jan 19 '07
'course that was done on teetonic.



yours is really well illustrated, and it's a clever idea, but the expletive really does need to go.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 19 '07
well...sea is sea, water is water, and fishes are fishes no? the comparison stops there, because i don't see other stuffs that are identical...my style, my scene, my point of view...ok, the colors are near. stop. ;-)
grayehound
   grayehound on Jan 19 '07
I brought it up cuz I thought it'd been printed here. my bad. yours stands on its own very well.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 19 '07
thanks you :-) i said that because, when we make a design, there are always a lot of persons that find out the design is a copy etc... and usually, that's just wrong. i know that you didn't say that, anyway thanks for your time, that's appreciated ;-)
Wonderfish
Wonderfish on Jan 19 '07
Is the arc on the sawfishes head supposed to be a smile? I like the design except for that part. It kind of throws me off because their mouths usually look so much different.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 19 '07
yes it is... but i did a version without Shit, without smile, without eyes, because you are not the first to say that ;-) : click here to see a different version

thanks dude! you changed your nickname (poetic lover etc...)?
chelseakurtzman
chelseakurtzman on Jan 19 '07
yea. The design is so telling and well done that you really don't need the text.
tsadik
tsadik on Jan 19 '07
Yeah, as everyone has said.... Loose the $%*^ and I will buy
lsmc88
lsmc88 on Jan 19 '07

Bootweasel
Bootweasel on Jan 21 '07

xyu on Jan 21 '07

enough underwater people?
liberatethechicks
liberatethechicks on Jan 21 '07
no shit.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 22 '07
ok ok ok, i made a version without the "shit", exclamation is also a good idea, but without text is perfect ;-) too bad on threadless, we can't update the design...if it was printed, i would leave the text ;-)
Pokarose
Pokarose on Jan 22 '07
I think that you should replace the shit with bubbles. Since you can't talk under water.

shortee113 on Jan 22 '07
the new one is way cool.
Thievery
Thievery on Jan 22 '07
it reminds me of 'nice swimshorts jimmy' too
visualpun
visualpun on Jan 22 '07
The smile on the sawfish looks too big. Nitpicking I know, but it is a striking shirt, just thought you wanna make it "better"
berababe
berababe on Jan 22 '07
like what everyone else is saying...the design speaks for itself to bad you felt like putting in the word
El_Dictador_Cubano
El_Dictador_Cubano on Jan 22 '07
i just think the "shit" is too strong. Just change it to "crap". Nobody would be offended by that.
ahjota
ahjota on Jan 23 '07
Like everyone else says... remove "shit" and let the graphic speak for itself. 5 with the "shit", $5 with...
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 23 '07
thanks everybody! i'm happy to see all those comments, that touche me really!

i repeat that the version without "shit" is here Click here to see the version wihtout shit

arf, a mistake here: click here
sugars3
sugars3 on Jan 23 '07
I would DEFINITELY buy a wordless one.
Ahhzz
Ahhzz on Jan 23 '07
Seeing as how you said if printed, you'd leave the text, no go from me, until a resubmit.
Strangemusic
Strangemusic on Jan 23 '07
The "Shit!" is incredible I think, as is the shiRt, it rocks!
miraclemilemind
miraclemilemind on Jan 23 '07
I would wear it if "shit" wasn't there. Is there another word you could use maybe, because I do think that adds a lot to the design.
KuroiNeko
KuroiNeko on Jan 23 '07
I'd buy a version WITH the shit, but without the eyes and mouth. It makes it more comical, yes, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the style.



Without the text it looks kind of blank, but maybe an exclamation point would work best.
comradesquirrel
comradesquirrel on Jan 24 '07
i don't think there's anything wrong with "shit" and frankly i find it ludicrous that it's such a huge deal, but whatever. great design.
Jebs
   Jebs on Jan 24 '07
for the word, it could be "wtf" or "!!!" or "crap" or well, nothing :-) that's hard because everybody want something different...without the eyes and mouth is a tougher version...not sure that people would like it... thanks anyway!
sbrohrer
sbrohrer on Jan 24 '07
i like it better than your other one and I agree that you should remove "shit." it gives away the humor of the shirt. its obvious.
P.J.

lose the foul language, it's not needed
rosythechair
rosythechair on Jan 25 '07
loose the text, but otherwise its totally awesome!
cheekychappie4
cheekychappie4 on Jan 25 '07
looks great when its that big on the shirt, nice
krk
krk on Jan 27 '07
...Sorry to add my two cents (for what it's worth) but if you could show it with a !@#$ it would still emphasize the expletive ....either way I would buy - it's awesome

Ya gotta keep that big smile on the sawfish, that expression is what makes it work so well. Although the original "shit" version made me laugh so loud my dog came in from the next room, the textless version with the exact same art you have linked above is even better. If scoring had not been complete I'd have left you a 5.
