Why aren't the tips of the banana black? I think that'd be good.

J-Ray on Mar 15 '07

Oh it's up!! Yay :) I've got special news about this shirt, sigh... I should have put it on a kid's tee but w/e.

Jennifuhrer on Mar 15 '07

special news?

J-Ray on Mar 15 '07

I probably shouldn't say what it is at this point... Threadless might not like it.

Tonteau on Mar 15 '07

I'll be honest, J. I think you're wasting your time with this sorta stuff when you can produce work like 'Tomato Ray gun' and 'Albania'. I'm sure you have your reasons, but this doesn't do anything for me.

J-Ray on Mar 15 '07

Toneau: I know, but "Albania" got dropped early with 1.51, so I'm shooting for all markets and seeing what sticks. It's probably not for the threadless crowd, but it's perfect for kid's tees. Anyways, I'm sure this will be dropped early too...

Tonteau on Mar 15 '07

Fair enough, the score was unfairly low, but did you not find 'Albania' a more satifying design? It was more visually interesting than a lot of threadless stuff. You continued the cool patterns in 'Tomato Ray-Gun' and people dig that a lot. There's not a great deal of stuff out there like that, but there's 101 people putting faces on fruit. Anyways I'm sure you've got a plan, no dissing, just seems a bit of a step backwards in terms of style and originality.

Stupid lazy bananas! I'd like a little more detail on the fruit, but nice design.

Mikey Maddox on Mar 16 '07

I want this in purple. Purple wins.

Bramish on Mar 16 '07

I'm not sure I get the joke here, and to be honest, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. I'm with Tonteau I'm afraid.

helo on Mar 16 '07

Yowzer!
This could be interpreted as the banana being a nudist and the
other fruit are disgusted his member is just hanging out there

fatheed on Mar 16 '07

Is this a visual metaphor for the threadless community and that popular rogue Matt 'Bananaphone' Palmer? Am I right? Do I win something? You've had a really good run of subs lately, bud.

J-Ray on Mar 16 '07

The message for kids is, nobody likes a lazy banana.

andycasto on Mar 16 '07

he needs to be lying in a hammok for the extra funniness!

maverick32 on Mar 16 '07

I LOVE IT.

The grapes all have faces, but need to be defined from all the others a little more.

Carpe_Diem6952 on Mar 16 '07

IIIIII WANT THIS SHIRT. i love it.

__snowshoe on Mar 17 '07

lol

brett dawson on Mar 17 '07

the strawberrys kind of look like tomatoes. but thats ok.

bananaphone on Mar 17 '07

stop churning out bs for deranged morons and actually make something you can be proud of.

thoughtisfragile on Mar 17 '07

Bananaphone, you're just miffed 'cause a fellow banana was shown in a position of ill repute. I think this is a great design and I’d wear it 'til it became stinky and needed to be washed. $5

That blonde girl from aus on Mar 17 '07

nah, i hope it doesnt get dropped... i would wear it. i looooove this style, the bold blocky colours. i agree with thoughtisfragile.... i def would wear it continuosly for a year. :) $5

Grossmann on Mar 18 '07

ummm... so what is the banana doing wrong? Those other pieces of fruit are just snobs!

Fletcher Fashion on Mar 19 '07

What is the "adult" joke?
$5 none the less.

amaira on Mar 19 '07

what does that even mean? it makes me laugh though.

J-Ray on Mar 20 '07

oh, the adult joke is..... impotence! hahaha

Maddie please on Mar 20 '07

Can I please have thissss?!

Mikey Maddox on Mar 21 '07

On second loook, I don't like the strawberries...

jimshin on Mar 21 '07

yeah i agree...the strawberries need to be skinnier or something. i like it on the blue better as well

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 22 '07

This reminds me of Ralph Wiggim yelling "Go Banana!" in the Lord of the Flies Simpsons episode. And a million other fruit with faces subs on this site. I agree with what Tonteau said to you already, no need to repeat it. You've come so far with some amazing concepts and designs that this seems like an unneccasary step backwards for you. O, and you should print up the candy corn shirt on your own like sonmi did, b/c it would sell like gangbusters.

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 22 '07

that was a "oh" not a zero, in case you thought that j-ray. I'd never give anything you made a zero. Unless you made a cut-out heart design.

J-Ray on Mar 22 '07

I did this in ten minutes as a joke on the voters :) and it scored higher than Candy Corn Teeth.
