About my design

by zipperking   
So, due to the recent controversy behind my Magical Zipper shirt, this will be the last design I submit to Threadless. It truly saddens my heart to know that I have broken the trust between myself and the community here. I would however like to thank everyone who has supported me over the last years and I wish you all the very best of luck. This truly is the Saddest of Farewells.

Magical Zipper to Weiner Man Land has been removed from the catalog (due to similarities between it and this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zillipilli/350279942/in/set-1673645/?). :O Has that ever happened before?



The people who bought it just got an ultra limited edition lol.



Sucks that this happened - your design had a lot more originality than something like "Predicament". You obviously have a lot of talent as shown by your other designs (like this one)...

You have to rise above it. At the very least get a new account and come back with a vengeance :).



The king looks amazing btw.

Damn it, I was this close to buying the magical zipper shirt but decided to hold off and now I'll never have the chance again *Sob*. Still as W.I ( wearinginfuences) said you will always have the honour of having designed the most limited edition shirt ever. I'm sure that in 10 years this shirt will cost $1000 on Ebay! I checked the site that W.I lead us to and whether it was a big influence on you or not, yours was better. I think you're right not to sub anymore, just on the basis that Threadless are unlikely to print other stuff you do, but I'm sure other sites will. All the best with all you do !

This is an awesome sub!



That whole thing made me sad - and so far, the outcomes are making me sadder (though I understand them). Good luck!

I'm surprised by how much I like this. I don't always respond to this style. Your harlequin background is a bit much though.



Best of luck.

This is great! Why wouldn't Threadless print this? Are they a bunch of retarded monkeys or what?

i like your shirts, and i don't see how that is a rip off. sometimes we think of the same things. and regardless art bulids on aother peoples arts and styles if you think about it nothing is really origanel just a build on something old. what can you do i guess i hope you don't stop doing this.
