I like this a lot, but I'd like it better if it were black on white or cream.

I think this idea is pretty funny, what with all the blow-out tees with guitars and boomboxes and such...i would just love less detail on specific parts of the pogo stick and more of a 3-d separation look to it all....but great idea and parody, if you intended the parody or not.

I just don't see the point of doing a pogo stick.



I thought McKenna's "Blueprint" was a more interesting execution of the blueprint concept...

I think its excellent; the complicated mechanics of a child's toy. The lines are so crisp that I think you could fiddle with the color and not lose the feel. I'd buy and wear it.

Alchemical: I'd bet that almost all of the work was finding the patent on the US Patent website.



A slight rearrangement of the image elements, with the downloaded TIFF image in hand: almost no time at all.



There's nothing on the USPTO website which says that patent documents cannot be reproduced.....but passing it off as original artwork is just sleazy.



As much as I like the design, I have to score it '0' for plagiarism. Sorry.

I didn't even know i could do any of that but at least it's leagal :) it's third or fourth image on google image search and i traced the whole thing so yeah maybe plagarism but i didnt just copy and paste

I like mechanical drawings but you should have been more up front that it was a direct copy.

I actually saw that patent on the History Channel last night. I have the whole five minute Vurtego section recorded on VHS tape. I'm something of a stunt jumper myself.

awww sad. :(



It's got to be different to be printed...sorry...a little too "Tagged"-like for me. At first it was brilliant, but, sadly, it's too close to the original print. :( Keep workin' on it, and don't copy anymore!

er, doesn't it kind of have to be a direct copy if it's the patented design?

And yes ladies and gentlemen i do realise it's a direct copy i know you dont really appreciate that kinda thing on this site but i intentionly did thatcos iwanted it to look just like the orginal patent i thought it'd be cool to have the orginal patent for the pogo stick on a t-shirt but copying i shall do no more

yes plagarism is not cool! but i have to give maverick credit for keeping all details regarding the inventor and attorneys. its not like he's saying the actual blueprint of the pogo stick is his design. he clearly acknowledges who it was produced by and when, and admits it is just a copy from formal documents. he just so happens to think it looks cool on a shirt, and wants to make it happen. haven't you ever seen some random image that has no relevance whatsoever to anything, and yet thought "man that would look really cool on a tee"? cut him some clack.



mav: love the concept. make the design smaller and i'd wear it. good luck with it.

Cool man, and I agree that it's okay to put this copy on a shirt since it does say on the product who the credit should go to.
