The Great Wall of China kept the Mongols out for over 1000 years... until one fateful day.

It's no Collateral Damage (Still waiting on print for that one) but this is pretty fun nevertheless. I always enjoy your style.

courtney pie on Jan 18 '08

Nice work!

the kool-aid person thing is copyrighted

mezo on Jan 18 '08

Sweet idea, but I didn't catch that he was busting through the Great Wall. More flying about bricks & debris will help push the idea further. Otherwise- OOOOH YEAAAAH.

Kogepan on Jan 18 '08

Mongol Kool-Aid. Love it! $5.

Rubb3rDucky on Jan 18 '08

I have no idea why mr. kool-aid would say that, but who cares?!

5$

Pop-Monkey on Jan 18 '08

jstruan on Jan 18 '08

Love the design, but would be afraid his features might offend some people.

radiostaticstar on Jan 19 '08

_edg_ on Jan 19 '08

Nobody in their right mind will be offended by Kool-Aid Khan. 5$

ibyes on Jan 19 '08

This is Awesome! Funny concept beautifully designed
OH YEAH!!!

Kizoku on Jan 19 '08

The Kanji for 'right' (as in 'correct,' 'just,' and 'proper') doesn't seem to me like a very accurate translation of the Kool-Aid guy's 'Oh yeah!' slogan... but I suppose that's not going to bother anybody who hasn't got the slightest clue what that Kanji character is in the first place.

Mikko Terva on Jan 19 '08

andy, I saw this on your site before it went up here. the moment I laid my eyes on this I wanted to wear it. I think it's your strongest work yet. I'm giving it a 5$ and I really hope everyone else does the same.

I can't see the image on my cell phone, but I bet it's good. I would have no idea what this was about if it weren't for Family Guy! Non-Americans may struggle to appreciate the reference.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jan 20 '08

seriously, screw you andyg. Screw you for making me fall in love with a friggin kool aid parody shirt! Such a funny idea, and i LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE how the wall is making surprised faces at the wall's outburst.

5$

helo on Jan 20 '08

ha ha ha - Absolutely wonderful! ! !

Would benefit from having more detail on the part where the wall
has been breached and a Mongol army behind the Kool-Aid khan.

SDietrich000 on Jan 20 '08

Now that's funny!!

sittingintheshade on Jan 20 '08

i like it. it's clever. the word doesn't work however. 'shi' doesn't fit in the context. 4.

opifan64 on Jan 21 '08

The colours are awesome and your line work is as great as always. Super idea and execution.

Pizazz on Jan 21 '08

bwahahaha! I want this badly! 5$

patuliac on Jan 21 '08

this is awesomely cute, though I would double check the word and maybe change the way you write it a tiny bit.
the text looks very good to me in general, with nice stylization that even looks like the trees, but the 'sun' radical on the top is typically connected on the top and right side (with one stroke instead of two).
oh yeah, good job!

andyg on Jan 21 '08

patuliac and others concerned with the Chinese character word bubble:

I thought I got this right... but apparently not. Contrary to popular belief, I do not speak or understand any Chinese dialect. Anyway, if for some reason this design is selected for printing, I will triple check the characters for accuracy. If any of you can suggest a better text alternative, please e-mail me at: andy@andygonsalves.com . Should the design print, I will award you with a cash prize... and a free shirt or two. Thanks!

lofty softy on Jan 21 '08

是 can mean "Yes" in Chinese (Not so in Japanese, as someone else pointed out). I don't think anyone would immediately get that from looking at the shirt though. It is more like him yelling "IS," which is the more general meaning of that character. Maybe 是的 or 真的. Or maybe more of an exclamation, rather than a translation of "yes" would be better. 盖了! is like "Great!" as is "真棒!" . "哦呀!" is like "Oh no/oh my!" But it sounds kind of like "Oh yeah!" so that could work (More like uh yah). In the end, go with what looks good, I'd say. Also, get someone to show you how to write it. The one you wrote has too many strokes.
