About my design
by Edword   
This is a design for the kickin it old school contest. I call it hip hop hibernation. I swapped out the coma in the movie for a hibernating bear.

he's kickin it with his kangol hat, b-boy glasses and rope chain. "Fresh!"

print it on something other than heather (neon pink/pacific blue/ANYTHING OTHER THAN HEATHER) and it's a $ from me.

actually, i'll $ it simply because it lacks the overdone text/mullets/hearts/legwarmers/saved by the bell swirls.

daps.

I had a conversation with my girlfriend about entering this compitition and she was like, "Why don't you just draw one of your animals in some old school clothes." And I said, "Nah, that's just kind of boring." Well I wish I listened to her and did a freakin Run DMC Bear! Not boring at all. Good work man, respect.

as much as I think this is an awesome shirt (the bear's face makes my day), I'm not sure how likely it is that threadless will print it since they already did this: http://www.threadless.com/product/303/Survival_of_the_Shittest

:/
Edword
   Edword on Mar 24 '07
So they are similar because it's an animal wearing a chain?

I had seen that shirt before and really did feel it was that close to my design.

I like that it kinda looks like Harry Caray did in the 80s. Bad ass. Threadless might have a copyright issue with the kangol logo- should probably obscure/alter/remove it. Great job, Mr. Word!
