i think it would look better if the front and back were switched. If that were the case then, $5!! But cool none the less. Brilliant idea!!

As a quiet person, I would never wear this shirt. I just don't want to give anyone any ideas...

I like the joke with the feather, but I couldn't wear a t-shirt that makes a joke around torture.

Nicely illustrated though.

i love it... it could work if the front and back were switched... if the text were on a bottom corner or on the chest where a pocket would be...

The more I look at this design, the more uncomfortable I am with the idea of people walking around, proudly sporting torture devices on their chests. The fact that there's a joke involved kind of makes it better/worse.

I was imagining some sorta obsessive compulsive nutbar when I did this, hence the tidyness.

That's a line off of toy story, a very cool shirt though.
Ste7en
   Ste7en on May 29 '07
I keep leaving comments on subs and not finding them after. SO once again, I love this. The tidyness serves the execution well. Im also glad you added the extra line on the back.

   hogboy on May 29 '07
yeah cheers Ste7en I had a think after you commented on that & figured it was for the best

(and i also think the front & back should be switched)
damprabbit
damprabbit on May 29 '07
i like it exept i think it should have the text on the front or people might not understand it if they cant see the back and think your just overly violent and troubled
herky

it'll look awesome printed with silver/foil ink.

Yeah, the back and front should be switched. Then it'd be a buy.

I think you misspelled it.
I think it should be "Ve have vays ov making you tolk"
hogboy
   hogboy on May 29 '07
Yeah I might actually change the wording in the incredibly remote chance that this gets a print.... I guess it might soften it a bit more, emphasize the humourous side.

Utterly tasteless. Torture is not funny.
Cantatus
Cantatus on May 30 '07
Hell, I'm against torture, but I like the shirt. Reminds me more of a cheesy '50s spy movie than actual torture.
hogboy
   hogboy on May 30 '07
Whatarebirds you're totally entitled to your opinion, I respect the fact that you have voiced it & no doubt reflected it in your score but the truth is I could grow old just trying to list the instances in pop-culture where one or more tasteless acts or activities was used as the basis for humour. Hell in the printed tshirts on threadless alone there are depictions of assault, suicide, immolation, murder, natural disaster, hanging & drowing (to name a few)that if taken out of context or viewed in a particular way could be seen as tasteless. Do I support real torture, absolutely not. Do I want to live in a world so sanitised & politically correct that we are not allowed to touch this sort of subject matter, absolutely not.... Will I apologise for or stop creating material of this nature, again, absolutely not.
FRICKINAWESOME
FRICKINAWESOME on May 30 '07
Maybe if the feather was highlightd a bit more or being the only thing in color on the tee, the joke would shine through a whole lot more and calm the fears of people (myself included) who would feel uncomfortable if people did get the joke and thought i was walking around with torture devices on me. Great drawing tho and i like the text on the back...the german accent would be a good addition too.

hogboy
   hogboy on May 30 '07
Yeah i think the German accent might just be enough to enhance the humourous side of the design & I am definately warming to the feather idea too, not so much from a stylistic perspective but conceptually it is a great idea... thanks frickenawesome

I got my mind set on you
I got my mind set on you

But it's gonna take money
A whole lotta spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right child

It's gonna take time
A whole lot of precious time
It's gonna take patience and time, ummm
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it,
To do it right child

That song is what I hear when I look at this shirt, the perfect torture tool. 5$ only with the foil though

unin5pired
unin5pired on Jun 03 '07
I agree with BoscoJones43, post germanifying the words and/or highlighting the feather. And I think I'd be in the minority, but I'd actually prefer ink to foil for this one. Or better yet, ink with foil only for the sharp and pointy bits...

   hogboy on Jun 03 '07
well initially I was going to include a Nana Maskouri or Engelbert Humperdinck cassette & maybe some reference to alcohol like Absinthe but I wanted to keep it subtle... haha.... Anyway after the comments I've been getting & the undoubtedly shithouse score I'll get I'm starting to wish I had.

At first glance I thought they were surgeon tools.
great work :)
affabletoaster
affabletoaster on Jun 04 '07
I would love it if it was just the feather and the text. The rest of the tools make it suddenly all "I'm trying to be hardcore," which just comes off weak.
Lilitou
Lilitou on Jun 04 '07
I'd like it more if the text were on the front--not switched, just on the front as well--but otherwise I think it's great. I don't think the humor needs to be ramped up any further, either.

And by the way.... If anyone thinks a feather can't be used as a torture device, you're dead wrong.

izzie
izzie on Jun 04 '07
yeah the feather being in the bottom right corner doesn't help to allay the fear of this tee, esp when you have issues with add like i do. perhaps more of a balance with the silly things and the pointy things and it won't seem so over the top.
