This design is based off the song "Minimum Wage" by They Might Be Giants. I'll post details of the background pattern in a blog soon.

Man, this shirt is a lock. $5.

I really like it, but the only way I knew what it said was from the title. I just can't read it, even now that I know what it is supposed to say.

suceda on Mar 03 '08

sweet background! love the whip type $5

SteveOramA on Mar 03 '08

cool whip.

BRCallis on Mar 03 '08

How did you make it so that you could click on the "See it on a shirt" ?

littlem on Mar 03 '08

really nice! you're so clever!

martiandrivein on Mar 03 '08

I wish someone actually got the TMBG reference.

slaterock on Mar 03 '08

haha, awesome. I loooove this song.

lofty softy on Mar 03 '08

kittkatt on Mar 04 '08

Shirt: $3 Whip noise: $5

Scottworth on Mar 04 '08

LOL yes I like this a lot. $5. Is that a miners cap? In Aus miners are paid like brain surgeons, foul mouthed soot covered brain surgeons...

squatterjohn on Mar 04 '08

Nah, the government's going to rip up their AWAs and soon they'll be on a pittance like the rest of us.

5$. I need to set this song as my ringtone or something and play it for people while I'm wearing it.

Bunter on Mar 04 '08

woh! this is really nice. :)

ndstillie on Mar 04 '08

Woss on Mar 04 '08

OMG sound effects.

$5

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 04 '08

I loves me some They Might Be Giants and have always had a special place in my heart and my mixtapes that have an extra minutes or so left to squeeze this delightful tune onto it. Great illustration of the song here, and the detail on the smaller bits of the instruments of that wage are a fantastic belt print idea! 4$

Chengui on Mar 04 '08

Without the title I wouldn't have been able to read it. I think that's kind of important.

OOH_OOH on Mar 04 '08

Dude. You're brilliant. TMBG are playing in Tampa on March 11th the night me and my wife fly back in from San Diego. I really want to go but I don't know if we'll make it. Love the design and I would totally wear it.

BB_freshII on Mar 04 '08

Amazing presentation, i love that type of typography works!!

=5=

cindylou on Mar 04 '08

love it and love that song- but the background makes it too busy.

chelly on Mar 04 '08

the colors are great but when it is on the shirt it looks murky

blooqkazoo on Mar 04 '08

Awesome! I just saw them in concert with Oppenheimer last week. :-)

walmazan on Mar 04 '08

funkie fresh on Mar 04 '08

SoulfumeInc on Mar 05 '08

nie on Mar 05 '08

haha wow, you really captured the way rope lies well. although too bad i can't read it, even after knowing what it says :[ $5.

fc gravy on Mar 05 '08

i enjoyed pressing the 'see it on a shirt' button way too much. great design!

edean on Mar 05 '08

you really could've put the entire song on here though, it's only a minute long or so...TMBG is an awesome band...I DEMAND A PARTICLE MAN SUB!!! i'd do it but i suck at drawring

squatterjohn on Mar 05 '08

There's already a Particle Man tee. Check bananaphone's profile. I think it's called "Doing the things a particle can"

Lorcan Dragonskull on Mar 05 '08

Nicely illustrated, but unfortunately, I can't read it. And the background is too busy. And I hope that everyone realizes that they're not gonna hear the whipcrack when they get the shirt! lol!

everything on Mar 05 '08

Yes and yes! 5$

kayceislost on Mar 05 '08

Awesome, I only have a problem with the legibility of the W. Other than that, kickass.

jarednickerson on Mar 10 '08

classy.

gingersnapz on Mar 10 '08

does the shirt make that noise?

Woss on Mar 11 '08

Wow. So underscored.

everything on Mar 11 '08

completely agree with Woss... I'm presently trying to glue some rope (i don't have a whip) an a set of spurs to an old Tee because I want this shirt so bad.
