About my design

by ISABOA   
Excerpt from "Call me Dracool, memoirs of the count". Recorded on 3-18-1985 at a Sizzler in Albuquerque.



the following is an unedited excerpt from my candid interview with the count concerning an unfortunate shipwreck experience with his traveling partners, frankenstein, king tut and an un-named zombie.



"so ... there we were the whole fuckin lot of us sittin in the raft floating to satan knows where. I am draped under my cape trying not to catch on fucking fire, the zombie is waving around a paddle like an idiot trying to fish his rotten arm out of the water. King fucking tut is sitting there mumbling to himself trying to wring out his stinky fuckin rags - looking back it sounds funny i know, but at the time we were all so fucking pissed off. And then - like he had a mother fuckin epiphany, frank says "you know its kinda ironic"



I swear if he wasn't a god damn mountain I woulda planted that fucking oar right between his fucking crooked eyes.

Ironic, dumbshit makin a stupid fuckin joke like that - at a time like that. Of course he was talking about us, a buncha fuckin dead guys, sittin in a LIFE raft wearing fucking LIFE jackets "



hand me some fuckin jo-jos and we need another pitcher of high life over here

   ISABOA on Jul 17 '07
thanks guys - it is always great to get feedback



maybe I am alone in the woods on this but when people say things like "it's ironic" or "touche" in situations that are not or very slightly applicable.... I find it hysterical - but this shirts irony is just for the wearer - a little snigger for a bad day - and really its kinda ironic that it is not very funny, no?

Like it, but Dracula isn't very clear. It took me a few minutes to figure out who he was and what he was doing. I suggest an umbrella with bats on it.

The design could be a little better.

Agree about Dracula, he took a moment to identify. Give him a Batman umbrella! =)

and yes, Dracula is unrecognizable...but an umbrella-ella-ella would be totally homo.

think of something ninja instead!

I'll be honest... I really don't like the background color... Maybe a darker blue or something? Ah, whatever, I'm still buying it just for the design.

mezo
   mezo on Jul 19 '07
Here is where I get brutally honest. Upon first view of this, I chuckled and liked it ok. It's the muted colors that are not wowing me and some of your details get lost (I thought the cape was a body bag & Frank's tan-orange shirt clash against the orange of the life vests and boat). My finger was ready to score this a 3. Then I saw your artist's statement and started craving a bottle of the champagne of beers. So what if it's 9:30 am? 5

I like the colors. The monsters didn't know the boat was going to sink. They wouldn't have dressed to match the occasion.
