FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 13 '07

The 2nd collaboration between Yoshi Andrian and Frickinawesome shows what happens when the pleasant, simple life of the common checker piece meets its power-hungry cousins! With their complex battle moves and agile jumping abilities, will nothing stop General Horseman's March To the Edge of the Board? Have the checkers been served their final check-mate, or will they overcome their invaders by stacking themselves on top of one another so high they can topple the mighty chess offenses? Whatever the outcome, this battle will once and for all determine who shall be Lord of the Kings!

tylers0421 on Nov 16 '07

ehrady on Nov 16 '07

i like this, but from a distance, it looks like the knight gets a bit lost in the darkness of the background.

Flying Mouse on Nov 16 '07

Fantastic!

SoldierofGondor on Nov 16 '07

Haha, sweet idea and execution.

$5.

Mesenchyme on Nov 16 '07

FRICKINAWESOME on Nov 16 '07

Thanks so much for the amazing respoinse so far guys and gals! Yoshi brought this, my first real idea i ever had for a Threadless collab, to life in ways I didn't think could be translated to the fabric of a tee.

WarDrobeInSpareOom on Nov 16 '07

Aw.....poor checkers.

CLGrovo on Nov 16 '07

Chipmnk on Nov 17 '07

Hehe, totally cool. $5

TheLiongKoon on Nov 17 '07

frickin awesome $5

wildmustard on Nov 17 '07

This is amazing on the green, so-so on the white. I agree with ehrady that the grey clouds behind the knight tend to make him disappear into the background. Otherwise fantastic.

staffell on Nov 18 '07

great concept, but the artwork needs work. it looks unfinished and tbh slightly livetraced

yoshi andrian on Nov 18 '07

sorry, i never use livetrace..

hershel on Nov 18 '07

murgles on Nov 19 '07

AWFUL.

Just kidding, it's wicked!! Maybe not on white though, its such a bold sort of picture and it looks neat on the darker background on the left so maybe a red or a dark gray or somethung?... $5! :D

stevetrpi on Nov 19 '07

Why hasn't this been printed yet? It doesn't even need a screening process, this should have immediately gone to print. $$$6

eyedewtwo on Nov 21 '07

This is a beautiful design. Thank you very much. People were beginning to disappoint me, but this is one of those designs that restores faith and reminds me that they have to weed out bad designs to get to ones like this.

I like it on the green. It's very foreboding. 5, maybe even a $.
