Why does the guitar plug into the keyboard?

grejotte on Jan 18 '07

Yeah thats really weird.
But without that i like it a lot

PdmntPdl on Jan 18 '07

I love it. I didn't notice the guitar/keyboard thing until I read the comment. But looking at it now just makes me laugh. There are animals playing instruments. I don't think the shirt is trying to portray reality.

screeniswonword on Jan 18 '07

it seems like the guitar/keyboard cable is trying to spell something out. kind of confusing. $5 though

chelly on Jan 18 '07

love it

knuklehedz on Jan 18 '07

that's why the guys are all looking at him funny - Dude, why the fuck is your guitar plugged into the keyboard? I thought you said you could play!

CornerLibrarian on Jan 18 '07

Heh, I like it, but the guitaranimal should be taller. And have a handlebar moustache.

JY x JS on Jan 19 '07

Simple and funny. May be to draw the guitarist as half man half animal character.

Foreordination on Jan 19 '07

I like this purely because The Animals were an awesome band.

House of the Rising Sun love.

Like the off-registration color.

Bisparulz on Jan 19 '07

LMAO
Nice shirt. They all look so discontent though..

Jemae on Jan 20 '07

GREAT ILLUS! 5$!

lerky on Jan 21 '07

$5, Amazing. I need this!

Gareth1 on Jan 22 '07

Hello, to answer some of your questions...The cable was spelling out 'The Animal Years,' originally, but based on advice from Threadless I thought it best to remove all text! Knuklehedz I like your thought process! Cornerlibrarian the guitar animal is a ickle bunny so has to be short!

Thanks guys!

Gareth1 on Jan 22 '07

Oh yeah! and gotMOXY, The man (Josh) looks discontent because he's being backed buy a load of animals (they have no fingers to play keys/guitar, they're rubbish!!!) and the animals look discontent because they really wanted to play with Ted Nugent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

djdole on Jan 22 '07

The guitar/keyboard thing is odd... but also, why is an acoustic guitar plugged into anything?

And why are we focusing on the little odd things when there is a DEER playing drums, a DOG playing keyboard, and a BUNNY playing backup guitar!?!?

I mean SHEESH! It's it obvious the dog would do better on the drums than the deer! gawd!
*sense of realism asplodes*

..fun design!

isabela on Jan 22 '07

this one is nice, i like the way it is drawn!

Pokarose on Jan 22 '07

Djdole: They have acoustic guitars that have amp plugs. I have been to many concerts with them.

I love the design. I'm a fan of colors though, maybe put it on blue?

JoNeZ on Jan 22 '07

why does the guitar plug into the keyboard?

Gareth1 on Jan 23 '07

Awwwww JoNeZ, Where have you been? i'm pretty sure that one has been put to bed...am I right???
(if unsure read Pokarose comment)

CountryFreakinMusic on Jan 23 '07

there is no microphone or singer. I guess they're an instrumental band.

noxgoodxdeed on Jan 24 '07

I love it. YAY FOR ANIMALS! 5.

Honlam on Jan 25 '07

I like this, the character is cool!

Lashford on Jan 25 '07

the animal years is about the singer himself, not his band. for that, i think he'll pass on it. however, very cool illustrative style--lose the tan box behind the figures.

sukassi on Jan 26 '07

I lurrrve it! I would buy it!!!!

badactress on Jan 26 '07

This is the coolest shirt I've ever seen. Love the colors exactly as they are, and every character. I don't like the guitar plugging into the keyboard, but I absolutely love everything else and want this.

Thanks for all your comments.

Hey Lashford, This is my interpretation of 'The Animal Years,' nothing to do with reality or an accurate representation of it!!!

I do have a version of this image with the cable spelling out 'The Animal Years,' - this would poss' quell any confusion with what plugs into what!?!

d3d on Feb 01 '07

i think that would be a mistake. i love the baffling wire. maybe everything should plug into everything. this deserved a better score for the drawing style.

Gareth1 on Feb 02 '07

Thanks very much d3d.
