So beautiful and original
|

MOTHER.EARTH, its not that hes eating a tree, its that he has eaten the seeds in the apple so he has a tree groqing out of him. At least i think thats what it is.
|
|
This was a joke on the British comedy show Modern Toss. They had a skit called customer services, where people would ring in with random and stupid complaints. One was a guy who swallowed a seed, and then a tree grew out of his mouth.
|
|
I like it, but it took me a minute. It could be that it's early in the morning and I'm a tad slow, but wonderful design.
|
 |

Will the seed with a strikeout appear somewhere on the tee?
The kid looks rather proud to have a tree growing out of his mouth. |

hogboy on Jun 13 '07 Nonya theres a fairly common motherly warning which is intended to stop kids eating seeds (god knows why) that if one consumes the seeds of an apple (or watermelon or orange) a tree will begin to grow inside them.

BlameTheSuburbs on Jun 13 '07 Its really well done and the concept is faultless, but I wouldn't wear it. I guess personally I prefer your more imaginative work. Still, its very good and deserves a 5.

|
|
is it Timmy before or after he wished for ray gun eyes?
|
 |
ha ha! that's awesome! i remember eating the seeds in a watermelon and my mum told me watermelons would grow out my ears! she found me crying later trying to convince myself that having fruit growing out of my ears wouldn't be so bad!
|
|
hogboy on Jun 14 '07 Noobits thats Timmy before he discovered the lantern. Actually when I was trying to think of a title for this sub I did toy round with variations along the lines of Timmy Didnt Listen & Timmys Mother Said etc
|
 |
valorandvellum on Jun 14 '07 Nice idea and even greater execution! Lovin' the patterns.
$5 |
|
cool *heheheheee* I knew Timmy was in there somewhere

Haha. I so remember hearing about this. One time I swallowed a grape seed and totally freaked out. I think I was four. I love you for this!
|
 |
ha ha wicked
|
 |
VERY well done - I'm amazed at your ability to use such a great style with minimum colors.... 5
|

Mr Rocks on Jun 15 '07 MAN! I absloutely love this, great concept and colours. YOu got talent coming out every pore, and it's making me sick dude! I might give it a 5......
|
|
Here's my four word summary: Threadless should print this.
|
 |
Lovely! I like the blue best, that way the red of the mother's shirt and the apples stands out (I might be biased though, considering that I look awful in red. Yes, blue is quite superior.)
|
 |
This is brilliant. I love it.
|
 |
i always learned it as watermelons
but this is still a 5 |
|
hogboy on Jun 17 '07 In NZ it's apples, well where I lived it was anyway
|
 |

|
 |
took me a while to get this one but its a brilliant design and idea.
|

eskimokiss on Jun 19 '07 how are we supposed to compete when you keep elevating?
5$ |
|
lol I was so afraid of that happening when I was little.
|
|
wow..
|
 |
fantastic
|
|
fantastic!
|
 |
I love it, it's retroawesome. All I'm wondering is if the "no seeds" illustration in the lower right corner will be included somewhere on the shirt? I didn't entirely get it until I saw it, and if maybe the mother had a speech bubble with that illustration inside, it would make even more sense.
Needless to say, 5$, and I'm hungry for apples. |
 |
funkie fresh on Jun 19 '07 this is so awesomely amazing!
|
|
starr226 on Jun 19 '07 you know, hogboy, i've expressed my respect for your skills, the t-shirts you've had printed, and how you're a generally nice guy in the past...but 142 comments is fucking ridiculous.
