The shape looks more like Mona Lisa so I'm going with her.
|
 |
but the famous grilled cheese was with mary
|
|
I like it better with mona
|
 |
Mona is a cool spin.
|
 |
mona
|
 |
mona.
|
 |
Mona
|
 |
I don't get it. Where are the tyres and the steering wheel?
|
|
MONA! most def.
|
 |
I wanna say Mary so it actually is Holy Toast but Mona just looks better.
|
 |
Why would Mona Lisa appear in toast? has there been a sting of recent Rennaisance paintings making appearances? Did Botocelli's The Birth of Venus appear in a tortilla somewhere? I think it has to be Mary, otherwise the name doesn't make sense. who was Mona, some dairy farmer or something?
|
 |
mary. it's only right.
|
 |
I think it would cheapen the integrity DaVinci's work to have it appear on toast like some supersticious religious icon. But that may be just my opinion.
|
 |
Mona isn't really described as a holy icon, rendering the title slightly redundant, but it's a great idea. Mona does look better, though. 'Monalade', perhaps? (As in Marmalade?)
|
 |
mona please. i am an atheist.
|
|
mona
|
 |
mona!
|
|
Mary i've heard like 10 ppl say they've seen Mary on a pan or a piece of toast
|

This is my second submission, thanks so much to everyone who commented in the critiques and helped me bring this one along!
They didn't post my description with this one, for some reason, so allow me to elaborate. The idea here is that Mary and the Mona Lisa are both icons, one religious, one artistic/cultural. Both are inspirational. The Virgin Mary comes to those in crisis to offer support and encouragement, reminding them that no matter how hard their life may seem, their faith will help them persevere. Why she chooses toast and tortillas as her medium is beyond me, but that's beside the point. The Mona Lisa, as well, is an icon of inspiration. Considered by some to be the finest example of portraiture, and one of the most recognizable works of art of any genre. The Mona Lisa comes to those suffering a creative crisis, and reminds them that through their faith and hard work, they can persevere and create something that will last through the ages. As such, I had a very difficult time deciding which icon I wanted to immortalize in super-glow ink on toast, and the critiques led to some very heated debate, so I thought I'd leave it up to the people to decide. Thanks again, and I hope you find inspiration in it. Divine or otherwise. |
 |
I personally think the Mona Lisa looks better, but the whole idea of an icon appearing in someone's breakfast fits more with the virgin Mary... No one's ever claimed to have seen Mona Lisa in their muffin, only to have the holy pastry stolen...
|
|
Go with Mona, it's more of a surprise!
|
 |
The only thing that irritates me about this is it's not toast. It's a slice of bread. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky. :D
|
|
Nei Nei, It's very lightly toasted... I did one that was more toasty, but it was competing with the butter too much. :D
|
 |
Great idea! Mona please.
|
 |
mona, for sure
|
 |
I like Mona...
But I am torn....A Casino bought a bit of toast with Mary on it for like $28000..... Lock in Mona from me! |
 |
Like it but not a fan of glow in the dark only because I never go in the dark really for someone to see it. maybe just printed on would be as funny. maybe trying to do too much.
|
|
This is a toughie, because I'm not very religious and I prefer art more, so I would want Mona. But Mary was the one they saw in the toast. So in a way Mary is more appropriate, but I think for a creative shirt, a new inspiration, as well as a surprise, Mona is the way to go. She always looked sly anyway.
|
 |
you guys are crazy, this doesn't work without mary. mary goes much more with the concept, or maybe jesus cause there's those people who said they saw jesus' face on a tree and on a burnt tortilla. $5 for mary!
|
 |
Mary for sure! $5
|
 |
lolz
|
 |
mona
|
 |
gotta use Mary... mona is great and all but the concept is much stronger with MARY...
|
 |
Mona.
|
|
mona, for sure. it's a unique take on what could otherwise be a very tired parody.
|
 |
There's this kitchen product by Fred & Friends that imprints the outline of the Madonna onto your toast -- it's called Holy Toast.
Perhaps Mona with her hands gathered in prayer? I do tend to agree that the visual is understood better if you use Mary, though, since the stories of seeing visions of holy people in ordinary objects are still news. |
|
Mona! Mona! Mona!
|
 |
Makes a lot more sense with Mary.
|
|
definitely mona better.
|
 |
mona
|
|
mona !!
|
 |
MARY! Has to be Mary or it ain't holy toast!!!!
|

|
|
MARY. (queen of Scots)
|
 |
mary makes more sense, but I like the mona image more
|
 |
mona.
|
|
i totally agree with jklarson66.
|
|
mona. it'd be funnier i think.
|
|
mona, but only because you can't tell who mary is.
|
 |
mona
|
 |
MARY and I want it!!!
|
|
I prefer the mona lisa
|
 |
oh, totally mona!
that'd be awesome :) |
|
soooo nice, id buy for sure. mary straight up!
|
 |
igo2cairo on Jan 06 '08 Mona. Nice idea!
|
 |
how about Elvis?
|
|
I considered Elvis, but I'm just not an Elvisy kind of guy. Thank you very much.
|
 |
there's nothing holy about mona lisa.
well except the fact that she's....nvrmnd. |
 |
I agree with a lot of people.
I like the Mona better. The Mary, i don't know, fits the whole "Holy figures on toast" sort of thing if you know what I mean. |
 |
To the people who said that putting DaVinci's work on toast "cheapens the integrity of his work:" are you crazy?
We are hundreds of years removed from the creation of the piece. In the internet and instant gratification world of today, it only makes sense that a Black and Decker bread cooker can miraculously spit out what Leonardo labored over. Let us eat toast! Or let us at least proudly display toast, both in high and low light situations! That said I vote Mary. All the way. No question. |
 |
mary, defs.
and $5 |
 |
Nice sense of humor.
|
 |
Throw a beard on mona and call her jesus. Or just stick with mona.
|
 |
Definately mona.
|
|
im not a religious person but the mary image doesnt really make me think of mary. however the mona one is very much like the real deal. however mona lisa doesnt really seem very "holy" to have you tried using jesus to see what it looks like. or maybe even other higher beings. like buddha or something.
|
 |
mona doesnt make a shirt "holy" so if its going to stay with the title of the shirt it should be mary, either way though not my thing. but nice creative idea
|
 |
I'm gunna say mona, but you will need a name change, if such a thing is possible. Mary just seems very cliché.
|
 |
Mona!
|
|
mona
|
|
mary!
|
|
mary
|
 |
How about Madonna?
|
|
mary would be cooler, and would make it actual holy toast. however, your drawing of mona is better. and someone above said that they wanted mona b/cuz they're an atheist-- i don't think mary toast has anything to do with religion, being an atheist makes all the more hilarious!
|
|
mona looks better.
|
|
its Holy toast, so shouldn't it be Mary? It would make more sense.
|
 |
Mona looks better but Mary makes more sense and is more in keeping with the trend of spotting holy figures in weird places, also the host and all that... I guess I'm voting for Mary.
|
|
Jesus!
|
 |
Jesus!!!! Seriously this is hilarious...Theres a lady who saw Mary in a grill cheese sold it then got it tattooed on her body...lol
|
 |
definitely gotta be mary or no sale.
|
|
love it. mona.
|
 |
i don't really like the current design of the mary. if you maybe made it look more like it did on that actual piece of toast, no hands, i would def. say mary.
|
|
mona for sure, but if you changed the design of mary and used her...i think it would be a way cooler shirt.
|
 |
MONA!
|
 |
Cool
Mona! |
 |
MONA.
|
 |
MADONAAA
|
 |
mona
|
|
Mary!
|
 |
I like the way Mona is drawn better than Mary... but I think Mary is better suited for this idea.
|
|
I'm really amazed and appreciative of all the comments and response this one has gotten! It's the last day of voting, and I'm excited to see the final tally.
To those of you who wanted to go with Mary, but didn't like the drawing of Mary, could you tell me what it is about the drawing that put you off? Thanks to everyone who's voted and commented!!! |
 |
mona for sure
|
|
mary seems more cartoon-y... don't ask me how that makes sense...
|
 |
I could wear this...so could him....
http://theimaginaryworld.com/twalking.html catchy Tune - eh? |

mona all the way
|
|
Looking good bud, Mona still has my vote
|
|
mary
|
|
MONA...........
|
|
Mary. it makes sense.
|
|
MONA!
|
 |
hahaha!!! my mom would kill me if i'd buy it with mary on it... makes me wanna buy it with the mary (wassuop with my motherly issues LOL) Love it with the mona too though... 4$
|
 |
Dude that rocks!
|
 |
I think the Mary one is silly enough. I think Mona's so divorced from reality that I'd personally never get the joke...
|
|
monaa
|
 |
Perfect
and mona of course. |
|
yay! 2.27!!! awesome! It looks like Mona won out about 4 to 1! Thanks to everyone you commented in the critiques and voted! I hope this one has a chance! :D
|
 |
this is probably a little late, but it doesn't work unless it's mary!
mona wouldn't flow with the 'religious toast' idea |
