I am certain crank calls have been around since the invention of the telephone.

One color on olive, but could work on any shirt color using an ink of a similar but darker (or lighter) color. No special effects needed.

Thanks to the lovely Maltzmania for modeling and to you all for voting!

funny.

SuperRyan on Mar 27 '08

I like it. It looks good. Maybe make the design a little smaller on the shirt, though.

Married To The Sea.

ShortFry101 on Mar 27 '08

I agree with Married to the Sea.

WhitneyBeth on Mar 27 '08

what is married to the sea?

MCS4096 on Mar 27 '08

I loled ;D

igo2cairo on Mar 27 '08

Funny concept and super-cool style!

MooCowMoo on Mar 28 '08

Married to the Sea is a site where they take old-fashioned drawings and put funny text on them. I think they're suggesting that the idea of a funny picture that features something from the past is something a single website invented.

cristinaish on Mar 28 '08

haha awesome

Tee hee Simpsons'esque and awesome-esque to boot!

Pop-Monkey on Mar 28 '08

Sorry, but it's not a good drawing -- don't think you captured the authentic "old fashioned" feel you might have been going for.

WhitneyBeth on Mar 28 '08

thanks, everybody!

and pop-monkey, yours would have been a really useful critique if you could have given suggestions on how to improve. sadly i can't take away anything from your statement except that i suck at art! oh well.

Not that the guy looks just like him, but for some reason I just think Lincoln when I see this.

opifan64 on Mar 28 '08

great idea for the contest! very funny. $5

secondhandtruth on Mar 28 '08

i like it :)
color is right too

herky on Mar 29 '08

great concept, love the cross hatching too.

cyberskunk on Mar 29 '08

very nice, personally i'dd like the speach bubble better if the line were of the same thickness as the rest and so the text. thinner and calligraphy-like, not print like,,,i dunno just think it would match the rest better

jessss on Mar 29 '08

hahahahahah nice.
$5

RedHotFunk on Mar 30 '08

I like the design, but the only thing I have a problem with is the speech bubble. The text is the only thing bringing it down. But aside from that, funky! :D

nikolina100 on Mar 30 '08

hahahaha!

lizzie2 on Mar 31 '08

Sorry - the Simpsons did it first.

JENESISwithaJ on Mar 31 '08

rofl...it reminds me of something from marriedtothesee.com

squintygirl on Mar 31 '08

Yes, I'll hold.

AHAHAHAHA!

eatabag on Mar 31 '08

Any shirt with a mustache on it is a friend of mine (well if I were to befriend cotton...don't judge me).

Really like the cross hatching, very well done. I think this is perfect for the contest.

Le Coma on Mar 31 '08

Hahahaha great.

WhitneyBeth on Apr 01 '08

thanks, everybody! i don't think it's going to do as well as i had originally hoped, but it's nice to see that some people like this. only two more days :-)

shakethesheets on Apr 02 '08

love the drawing

princesskittypie on Apr 02 '08

just like bart simpson lol

lunchboxbrain on Apr 02 '08

the concept is very similar to something you'd see on Married To The Sea. But unlike MTTS, where Natalie Dee uses royalty free imagery, this sub is clearly 100% original. And very clever to boot.

In summation, 5.

EskimoJo on Apr 02 '08

I really wish it would be made clear what contest each design is for (if it is for a contest).
I like this anyway.

busy_bee on Apr 02 '08

haha.

pyr4lis on Apr 02 '08

I like it but would wish that the text was hand drawn and not just a type font. The font just seems too "neat" next to the hand drawn illustration.

FayeAznable on Apr 02 '08

I think it would best if the design was much smaller.

roadkill3d on Apr 02 '08

I dig the textures.

Truotsalainen on Apr 02 '08

Funny concept, but I'd like to see the face a bit more developed. The cross-hatching is a tad sloppy. I'd also like to see some sideburns by the ear, just to make the head a bit more realistic, now it looks a bit too spheric. 5 for the concept though, that's definitely good old fashioned fun!

The Paper Crane on Apr 03 '08

Great cross hatching

DrJess49 on Apr 03 '08

nice art on this one.

gsor26 on Apr 03 '08

I prefer "Is your ice box running..." Awesome drawing!

6 days later

Pukka13 on Apr 10 '08

snap. i love it. i think it does capt ole skool design--ragtime newsprint. the text bothers me a bit; the widowed name (ms and tinkle being on separte lines) is awkard. and the wording is verbatim for modern humor. i think maybe saying "first name..." is almost cliche for the joke. just my 2cents; and i too like "ice box running"
