Peanut butter, Celery, and Ants the ultimate after school snack.

Im not sure if I should be finding this as funny as I do.

Great idea, maybe could do with a bit more going on?

*ROFL* Yeah, I think its hilarious too when it shouldnt be. I think its the first ant's look of glee.



If you made it better I would wear it, but at the moment its a bit simple... maybe as a kids shirt though.

i love my ants in PB its the best way i give it a 3-4 needs a little more going on... i just submited a design to critique and if anybody wants to judge it and suggest changes feel free (its name is Mr. S's 1st job ( 1st rendering) or something like that)

Sir Anton Logan the inventor of the etch and sketch and the ants on a log snack has always been a firm believer in keeping it simple, I am his disciple.

I love it and its simplicity. Their expressions are great!



I would like a different colour background, though. I know sky blue is overused, but I would like that.



5$

If it weren't for ants on a log, kids would never eat celery!

Not much to this...

sorry, but it's too simplistic for a shirt design. You're going to have to work on your art to make this idea work. Plus, it looks a bit strange with them just floating there.

Drawing crap with a mouse is hard work, but I have to say I like relativley simple shirts, I'm not one of those guys who wants a collage plastered across my body.

Arthur Granjean invented the Etch a Sketch. I don't even know who Anton Logan is.

i love the ants. but one thing i'd like added would be perhaps a wave of whatever they are riding on (water?) splashing up at the front of the celery canoe. i think it needs a bit more environment or grounding. other than that, this is really cute, and a nice kid's shirt. the ant in the back is especially adorable.

its cute...maybe some splashes on the side of the celery/log for context?

Is this making fun of all those Snakes on a Plane shirts of yore? Because then this would be a 5$ from me.

maybe if they were going to land in some type of condiment... although i'm not sure what you dip ants on a log in.

I LOVE THIS! i dont care about people saying it's too simple. its fantastic! i'd buy it in a second for sure!

barriebarrie on Jul 20 '07
Clever but it looks like you have a leftover color and I think it would be improved if the ants and peanut butter didn't blend quite so much personally.

if they were sliding wouldnt they be leaning back instead of forward?

i dont know for some reason that part bothers me a little.
Magnamoth
Magnamoth on Jul 24 '07
nope its not a re-sub, thanks for the comments, and go on a logride missy, and investigate this quandry, you couldbe right but my memories of splash mountain disagree (its been like 7 yers though)

Would be great on a light green shirt or yellow or another light shirt. Not OLIVE.

JoopaDoops on Jul 24 '07
I would totally buy this if it were closer to actual-size. And on like dakota slate or something where the celery color would pop more.
xprivate_eyex
xprivate_eyex on Jul 25 '07
meh. The ants would get stuck in the peanut butter.

Last day to vote! It seems like some of you aren't familiar with ants on a log, they were the ultimate afterschool snack, all around the world celery, peanut butter and ants (raisins) were combined in a glorious way.

'Twas deleted because the fight got too big. Jpiatt said your score was higher than you deserved.

what an asshole.

Why does that make him an asshole?
Magnamoth
Magnamoth on Jul 27 '07
As I've said before in previous things on threadless, these scores are all subjective. He's an asshole for telling me and the collective group of people who voted for me have an opinion of art of a lesser variety then his own. Just because he didn't like my design doesn't mean every person of the x number of people who voted thought the same way, and obviously not because they outweighed his negativity. :)

Jpiatt said you're crazy for drawing with a mouse. Why don't you buy a Wacom Tablet?
Magnamoth
Magnamoth on Jul 27 '07
I'm not a designer or anything like that, I'm a starving pre law student haha. I just have always liked drawing so I do this for fun, I don't have a lot of money to throw around when tuition and books is 35,000 a year haha.

screw those alumni bitches!

how is any of that alumni related?
jpiatt
   jpiatt on Jul 28 '07
haha first of all, I never said a word about him being crazy for drawing with a mouse. all I did in the blog was quote you saying "Drawing crap with a mouse is hard work"



Don't listen to Totalpwnage. He's lying. Also, thanks for calling me an asshole. I was just pointing out that your design which is incredibly poorly drawn scored higher than the one by Zonmi located here:

http://www.threadless.com/submission/125642/untitled_number_five/showmore,designs



It's sad that something like this with no substance that was drawn in almost no time with incredibly basic art would score lower than her design. That's all.



Also, you can talk all you want about your design being "simple", but there's a difference between things that are simple and bad things that are a simple and effective because they are aesthetically pleasing. This is not in the category of aesthetically pleasing.
Magnamoth
Magnamoth on Jul 28 '07
according to you, once again art is subjective. Also there is more to a design than aesthetics but I guess you overlooked that, and you are most welcome, I was pleased to call you an asshole.
