About my design

by zipperking   
among every t-shirt lies a magical zipper that can only be accessed by the magical weiner men that live inside of you.

Oh man, I really love this! I'm very suspicious of the weiner men, though- they are clearly planning something...

I'm really tired of shirts that play on the idea of ties, zipper, x-ray, etc... but this one works for me. I dig!

Completely agree with Work the Angle on this one. This is so much better than 'Dandy' and 'Beat It', which look horribly basic in comparison. This is a clever, well made design, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.



Plus, kudos for the title, natch.



$5.

I like it a lot, even on black. But I would never wear it because black looks awful on me.

I love this design!!! The only suggestion I have is that the zipper extend down the length of the shirt. Do that, and I buy.

I think the concept is great! Colours are working not to bad, though the characters I feel need to be deveoped alittle more if I were to buy this. Espically on their hands and lower half of their bodies.

This is one of my favorite concepts ever...i just wish a different creature or creatures inhabited the magical world inside my chest cavity. But the lil' doggie unzipping my clothes from the inside is a stroke of genius. 4$

i like the idea but i think the design at the top of the shirt is ugly. i guess theres no other way to do it though
letIt
letIt on Jul 15 '07
It's just super funny to think of me wearing this. I mean one of the weiners is staring up. Like it would, and is somehow, searching for me to do something for it. . . .then again I have a very DIRTY mind and thus maybe no one understands. . . .in that case never mind. $5 oh and I'd still wear it. :D

if you're a girl and you go out and wear this shirt, and tell someone what the title is, what do you think they'd say? "huh huh, you having weiners inside you is nothing new, haha."

i mean, that's what i'd say. to anyone. even if you're a guy.

it would be funny if the weiner men were doing manly activities

   zipperking on Jul 16 '07
so I just realized that the weiner man that is frollicky through a field...the little butt that I gave him totally looks like balls, I swear that was not my intention, I guess I am subconciously dirtier than I thought I was.

WOW! I cannot believe what I am seeing here! This shirt design is a complete totally rip off of a painting by Spencer Hibert. Please Take a look for yourself! http://www.flickr.com/photos/zillipilli/350279942/in/set-1673645/ As you can see this painting was posted online last December! And probably painted much before. Being an artist/desinger myself, i cannot tolerate this unacceptable act of theft. Zipperking- I hope you learn from this act that its a small world and an even smaller "art world". If you cant be yourself get out of this field. Its one thing to be inspired but dont rip other artists off. I hope everyone reads this and agrees when they see the link of Mr. Hibert's painting. Hey threadless- What are you going to do about this? I think you should Take Zipperkings ripoff shirt and buy Spencer's painting image and Print some shirts from that! Afterall, the over all responses have been positive. Find peace with yourself ZipperKing, find peace.

"This design has won"

Won what?! The most UNORIGINAL idea?!!

Case in point, side by side view of a portion of Spencer Hibert's painting next to the traced, Bartell version.



And now overlapping!



Any artists out there- watch yourselves and make sure any iamage you have floating out there in the internet world is not large enough for Bartell to trace off!!

I was just wondering if you were ever going to credit the real designer, Spencer. Ripping off Artists is pretty low. Taking credit for their design in the face of public outcry is lower still. Are any of "your" designs a product of your imagination, or just a by product of your observation? Bad Karma out, bad Karma back....you'll see.

Wendezine, I am more than happy to give credit for the concept to Spencer. I find that he is an amazing artist, with an amazing imagination. But, I feel this issue has to do with myself, threadless and Spencer, all of which i am in contact with. you can call it being naive, a lapse in judgement, whatever. The fact of the matter is that I never meant wrong doing. again, I apologize for upsetting people

So what, because two guys say it's a ripoff it gets taken off the site? The only similarites in the two designs are a zipper being unzipped from the inside.
