eskimokiss on Mar 20 '07 awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
 |
castle on Mar 20 '07 sweet!
|
 |
I think this should be re-subbed, but not as a Seed entry. That would help because I think it's a VERY clever idea! I would definitely wear it, but as far as the Seed idea goes.....
|
 |
Haha SWEET!
|
 |
Oh my God...I would so buy that. I love the tree things in the background, too.
|
 |
That's so cute. But... isn't genaology normally shown from the top down? With the parents above and the offspring below? It took me a minute to figure out how the spork could have fathered all the other flatware.
|
 |
jpiatt on Mar 20 '07 this is REALLY good
|
|
Cool
(When did sporks and genetics become so popular though?) |
|
I love this, but I'd like it even more if it weren't upside-down for a genealogical chart.
|
 |
Manos on Mar 20 '07 Yum yum! $5
|
 |
mezo on Mar 20 '07 Nicely done, friend! Looks great and makes me hungry.
|
 |
I've seen this concept before, but this design works. Great job.
|
 |
Robsoul on Mar 20 '07 I saw it set up boths ways when doing the research on this, obviously it seems everyone considers it the opposite setup. Additionally, from a compositional standpoint, it just worked better how I've got it set up above. Flipped looks awkward.
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 20 '07 Yes, this has been done a million times before, but I don't recall it being done like this.
|
 |
pilihp on Mar 20 '07 haha! looks awesome. love the details
|
|
great work $5
|
 |
Rock Deputy on Mar 20 '07 Awesome design, Rob! this need to be printed... $6
|
 |
Very cool BUT it would be great if you gave a bigger image.
|
|
uuups, sorry you did!
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 20 '07 Sorry, seems the code for the link is screwed although this image is on gif animation. I'll post a large closeup later today when I have a moment.
|
 |
Luke... on Mar 20 '07 dig the fine details
|
 |
Edword on Mar 20 '07 very nicely done.
|
 |
Skipper6745 on Mar 20 '07 Nice work making an actually great spork shirt.
|
 |
I think it's upside down, it took me a minute to figure it out because of that.
|
 |
OMG hey Rob! Great sub! It's been awhile. What's up?
|
 |
Mr Rocks on Mar 20 '07 HA! This is just too clever. You're getting subtly brilliant in your old age bro!
|
 |
well done. love the family crests.
|
 |
It seems upside down. Like the spork is the anestor and all those others are the offspring. But maybe you meant it that way?
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 20 '07 CLOSEUP
and the alternate setup that everyone seems pretty keen on: ALTERNATE_VERSION but compositionally, I still prefer the original submission above. |
 |
nice take on the recent sporkism outbreak.
|
 |
ah, very nice...
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 20 '07 dammit, someone did a spork genetic sub too for this contest! ahhhhhh
|
 |
i actually REALLY like the flipped version - takes care of everyone's complaints AND i think it works well - gives more to look at near the top where the eye goes first. Not crazy about the background tree, but I like it in the dark version cuz it's subtle.
LOVE the details, LOVE this shirt. I want one. |
 |
Clever. The original is tight IMHO.
|
 |
Love it!
|
 |
This is great. Colours a bit bland, but concept is amusing and attention worthy. Like it.
|
 |
I liked the Punnett square I saw with this same idea better.
|
 |
kooky love on Mar 21 '07 GREAT $5
|
 |
sweet!!! {5}
|
 |
Excellent sub.
|
 |
Fantastic! This shirt brings together tow of my great loves: cutlery and genetics.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 21 '07 Yeah, I've seen a bunch of spork tees that deal with genelogoy lately, and even some on other sites that take the leap with a simple family photo-ish approach (witness aNerdy Shirt's extremely simple and impressive take on the subject), but i also dig the way you have taken a more scientific approach without losing the fun of this subject. I especially dig how many different pieces of silverware you included to get the right amount of utensil inbreeding for the desired outcome. The tree in the background also adds a nice touch to the proceedings. I also like the fact that it is flipped upwards pointing to your face instead of your crotch. Overall, great stuff and a definite 4$.
|
 |
I LOVE THIS
you can just make me one. i'll pay threadless price. : ) |
 |
Cute but backwards. This way it means that the spork spawned all these spoons and forks, and did it asexually apparently.
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 22 '07 There are actually several ways you can set up a family tree, whether it be horizontal or verticle, flipped or whatever, there is no wrong or right way. I get my information from authoritative sources, look, how could this family tree be wrong - NOT_WRONG :-)
|
|
I LOVE the detail and organization. Accurate, too!
|
 |
Seen a few spork tee's lately, but yours is the best I think... $5
|
 |
I occasionally work in geneaology and I understand why you flipped it. However, I would prefer if it went the other way, I know a lot of librarian geeks who would dig it.
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 22 '07 Again, it's not upside down because geneaology charts can be formatted in any way the person desires, the only thing I negelcted to do was to provide lineage titles (grandfather, mother, etc), which is rather unnecassary because it's pretty evident already. FAMILY_TREE_AUTHORITY
|
 |
Very interesting. Reminds me of the family tree my dad showed me.
|
 |
The alternative version makes more sense to me. Brilliant.
|
 |
There have already been some submissions on this site with this theme in the past. Also, this seems like a souped-up version of this design from NerdyShirts. I'm not accusing you of copying or anything like that. My only point is that the idea is something that plenty of others have already thought of.
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 24 '07 Yep, it's been done to death like pandas and hearts, TheloniusMnk, but I wanted to give it a whirl with my own take on the subject. No harm in trying.
|
 |
I don't even know if you need the tree. Super good, I like it on black.
|
 |
I'm Roboul: "fuh fuh fuh fuh Sporks! fuh fuh"
|
 |
i've already seen this SAME idea on this sight... mhm
|
 |
hogboy on Mar 24 '07 hah sweet.... great idea & execution.
|
 |
herky on Mar 24 '07 I like it, especially the intricate details of the silverware, nice interpretation on this concept.
|
 |
Ian Leino on Mar 24 '07 Great stuff Rob! I always wondered where sporks came from. My first encounter with them was at KFC, so I just thought they were an evil invention of the Colonel one day when he was feeling particularly vindictive.
|
 |
OMG!! I love this one! I would totally buy it.
|
|
I'm kind of big on sporks (see username), so I LOVE this. Definite buy if the spork's on the bottom (i.e. geneaology chart done conventionally).
$5 anyways. |
|
Robsoul on Mar 25 '07 Actually metalspork13, putting it on the bottom is not conventional, it's just one way to do it. You can do charts horizontally or verticle in any which way. See my link a few comments above.
Thanks for the 5+$ ;-) |
 |
do it upside down with the offspring under the parents... works much better...
|
 |
this shirt makes my day...thanks
|
 |
spork!
|
 |
For the love of God, Threadless, please, please, please print this shirt!
|
 |
i love it
|
 |
stingerstyler on Mar 26 '07 finally, a good spork design! I commend you!
|
 |
it's upside down, you have to have the spork at the trunk. other wise it is good
|
 |
UPSIDE DOWN!!!
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 26 '07 DUDE! It's not upside down, once again, a family tree can be viewed vertically or horizontally in any format - SEE. I chose this format so there wouldn' be a giant arrow pointing at the wearer's crotch.
Anway, I have created a version that now points at one's crotch for your pleasure - ALTERNATE VERSION Thanks for the feedback and comments so far. |
|
I like the design a lot, but I do prefer the tree going the other way.
|
 |
Monkey III on Mar 26 '07 Whoa clever concept! And we need a spork tee pronto!
|
 |
Someone just did this like a week ago.
|
 |
The flipped version is much better. Makes more obvious sense to people looking at it (clearly, based on the responses here), and it echoes the shape of the tree behind it. And I am a genealogist, so there. ;-)
|
 |
hehe... nice!
|
|
Robsoul on Mar 27 '07 Right on litlnemo, I'll take your word on it then, I guess my Donald Duck genealogy chart was incorrect then, gad-zoots! But it's funny, I was looking at a genealogy book last night and everything was horizontal.
|
|
Monkey III on Mar 27 '07 Don't worry Rob -- I'm sure it's easy to change when they print this baby!

Well, it is true that genealogical charts can be done in any direction, really. But this one just seemed to work better with the spork at the bottom.

i like it this way cos it makes spork look like The King, haha. and it makes spork stand out more, also the point. gj :)
