About my design
by J-Ray
Some things I use when I'm being crafty... who never imagined the staple remover as some kind of vicious creature?

Submitted for the "Threadless Battles" contest, round one.
Seemed relevant for the EvS loves contest too =)

I like the concept, but don't think it has much to do with the theme. Very creative though. I don't think I would wear it.

The exacto knife and the tape roll don't really fit with the rest of the design. They're just kind of sitting there, not looking very aquatic.

Oh I didn't even realize this was up yet. Thanks for the notification, Threadless! haha

The tape is supposed to be a whale.. But it's about using your imagination so you see what you see.

J-Ray on Jun 09 '07
OH BTW as for the theme, I see the box cutter as a shark, and it's about prey-vs-predator, hence it's relevant.

well done!
maybe the cutter needs more detail and a more 3d because it seems too flat

The staple remover lantern fish makes the whole design. ::chuckle::

It would be cool if it were something like "I swim with scissors," (similar to "I run with scissors). Also, make it a bit more aquatic.

is the tape dispenser a nautilus?

whatarebirds on Jun 09 '07
Tape dispenser nautilis and a more sharky box cutter would make this a winner.

I think there needs to be a hint of environment. Right now everything is sort of floating out in space, and it's hard to grasp the concept. Love the staple remover, though!

I agree. I really like the school of scissors and the stapler fish, butboth the tape dispenser and the exacto knife need this sort of creative license tkaen with their forms a bit to get point across. Maybe a sharpie can be floating at the bottom of the "sea" and used to make a shark face not unlike one of those WWII plane drawing on the edge of it. to make the tape more like a whale, you might want to have the top of the water, and water spouting out of its blowhole. This is such a good idea J-Ray, I'm just suprised at how unfinished it looks coming from you. Fix this bad boy up and i'll 4$ or 5$ it for sure!

he started it like the day before the deadline of his contest..

did you know this is one of the top subs in the "popular" tab in the forum?

Yeah FA, appreciate your comments as always. I didn't have much time to finish this, with work and volleyball tournaments and everything going on., in time for the deadline.. I'd hate to disqualify myself! :P
Commodore
Commodore on Jun 11 '07
I'm in love with this idea. I would put some water squirting out the top of the tape and maybe something triangular for a fin on the box cutter, just to make everything more identifiable. I'll let you figure out exactly what, as the artist.

love the scissor school and the staple remover
if this doesn't win, please please please work on the tape roll and exacto knife and resub
bluepeacechick
bluepeacechick on Jun 12 '07
really good idea, but maybe try to do more with combining items to make fish, the staple remover and paper clip at the bottom is AWESOME!

darkshines on Jun 12 '07
The tape dispenser looks like a nautilus! Or a squid! If you had a long piece of tape hanging out, you could spilt it and make it look like tentacles!
pointyfacedsideshowfreak
pointyfacedsideshowfreak on Jun 12 '07
I would like it more without the tape dispenser, scissors and knife.
alibear167
alibear167 on Jun 12 '07
I agree with Commodore. A little squirting water for the tape and a fin for the razor.

staffell on Jun 12 '07
but the tape is supposed to be a mollusc, so what's the point of having water squirting out of it?
viddee
viddee on Jun 13 '07
I think it needs a little more context. It took me a while to figure out that it had un underwater theme. Maybe some larger bubbles... or something. $4

GiBleuUp on Jun 13 '07
it's a bit plain. there's close to nothing going on. i didn't even know the exacto knife was supposed to be a shark. the tape does sorta look like a whale but only after you pointed that out. the only thing i like about this is the stapler remover. the other objects are just that, objects. they have no fish qualities so it looks like random stuff on a shirt.

but i do love that stapler remover ::sigh::

NellieM on Jun 13 '07
i agree with darkshines! i love this design but the tape dispencer and exacto just need a bit more...fishyness, thats all, love it though!

i like it and think it's cute, but it really has no relevance to the eagle vs. shark theme. hate to break it to you, but "prey vs. predator" is not really a theme of the movie. great design though.

i love the illustrations, and kinda agree that a staple remover is rather viscous. not sure if i'd wear it though. amazing style, wrong concept. 4

I have a weird love for office supplies so this shirt totally makes me happy. well done on the random placement of each piece, makes it more interesting.
