It's cute, but it would be kinda funny, if the stalagtite and stalagmite were both on the front, the stalagtite was sneezing, and the stalagmite was saying "stalagtite" as if it were "ghezuntite." hehehe...sorry, my stupid humor...
|
 |
ladrones on Apr 09 '08 i like it, if it doesnt win re-sub it with crazy stalagtite and stalagmite colors.

Too bad it's spelled stalagmite and stalactite.
|
 |
steven218 on Apr 10 '08 my bad :/
|
|
steven218 on Apr 10 '08 though in my defence i was pretty drunk when i did this one
|
 |
lol, then it's ok.
|
 |
Tonteau on Apr 10 '08 You've gotta have a system.
|
 |
I likes it.
|
 |
(matthijs) on Apr 10 '08 Nice work. Yes, you should drink more.
|
 |
d3d on Apr 10 '08 that's pretty cool. i'm pretty sure Stalagtite was a nazi prison camp for athletes.
|
 |
Nice! $5
|
 |
Bramish on Apr 10 '08 Good job!
|
 |
this da bomb dot com
|
|
Great concept, original idea
|
 |
I like the suggestion of treating "stalagtite" as if it were "gezundheit".... brilliant.
|
 |
That's... ok.
|
 |
this is amazing!
|
|
 |
Fix the speeling and I would certainly buy this.
|
 |
simple and lovely. :)
|
 |
Mr Rocks on Apr 10 '08 Nice work. Spelling is an easy fix. Everybody nose that grate artists can't spell four chit!
|
 |
so simple it's genius! $5
|
 |
um, can I just say that this is incredibly wonderful?
$5 |
 |
herky on Apr 11 '08 looks great!
|
 |
I only wish "Stalactite!" was right side up.
|
 |
Ooh... educational!
|
 |
Raid71 on Apr 11 '08 great work
|
 |
i know very little about art on Apr 11 '08 Great!
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Apr 11 '08 Nice stuff, but i'd like it if the white negative space around the black stalagmite was actually the stalactite and just had a face on the bottom of it with the word up top.
|
 |
rad
|
 |
Yes!
|
 |
The stalactite's face should not be upside down. Nor should the word be. Other than that, really cute.
|
 |
I think it makes perfect sense that the stalactite's face and speech bubble are upside down. The defining difference between stalactites and stalagmites is the difference in orientation, and that's the concept of the shirt. Perfect the way it is. $5
|
|
Leave the face upside down! But change the spelling :/
Other than that perfecto :D |
 |
The Quiet Life already did this
This shirt's title is the exact title of the shirt that they already did. If it wasn't the QL, then it was Crownfarmer or Commonwealth Stacks. Don't praise the stealing of artwork and ideas!!! |
|
steven218 on Apr 14 '08 could you link to it?
|
|
steven218 on Apr 14 '08 before you accuse me of theft that is.
|
 |
Ste7en on Apr 14 '08 I wouldnt worry about it, steven218. Calcium888 stole his name from the periodic table.
|
 |
I like just the stalagmite part.
|
|
It's true, I did in fact not come up with the word calcium. I'm not making this up, I cannot find the image as it was a shirt from a few seasons ago; however, I have contacted the people at The Quiet Life asking them for a link as proof.
I'm not here to make false accusations, I just don't enjoy the appropriation of art |
|
I guess I can see it either way, I was thinking that the "tite" lives upside-down - so to him, it's right-side up - if you follow...but works the other way. Still cute! :)

Here is proof given to me from Andy Mueller himself (if you don't know who that is he designs for Girl and Chocolate Skateboards, The Quiet Life, etc) |
 |
SWAMPFACTORY on Apr 14 '08 nice
|
 |
tesco on Apr 14 '08 hmm it doesn't really qualify as a rip off, which is a shame because me and steve are mortal enemies
|
 |
fatheed on Apr 14 '08 calcium888 on Apr 14 '08
I'm not here to make false accusations, I just don't enjoy the appropriation of art You cock. |

calcium888 on Apr 14 '08
http://bp3.blogger.com/_xlVIq5KW55c/SAPLaFQCXgI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ip5-x7aVcy4/s1600-h/ql037_front_navy_large.jpg if that is the design you think he "stole", you are beyond ridiculous. |
 |
yo calcium. that is nothing like that
|
|
p.s. this is adorable.
|
 |
I love it. And it most definitely is not any sort of art theft.
$5 |
 |
Calcium, you must be seeing something I'm not. Besides the phrase "stalagmite vs stalactite" (which isn't even exactly copied, since Steve misspelled "stalactite"), there's nothing similar about those designs.
|
 |
wotto on Apr 14 '08 i second the you cock comment
|
|
(matthijs) on Apr 14 '08 third.
That's not a rip off. It's just the same title. |
 |
The art looks nothing like that other shirt. This is way more awesome!!! (why do I say awesome so much?)
|
|
steven218 on Apr 14 '08 shit. i was actually worried about being seen as a rip off merchant.
now that i'm not worried anymore i can get back to plotting tesco's doom. |
 |
i'll fourth that.
5anda$ for sure! |
|
ginetteginette on Apr 14 '08 hahaha omgz someone used the same object on one t-shirt so you can never ever use it again!
whatever man, that other tshirt sucks while this one is super fly. $5again and again |
 |
fifthed.
cock x 5. this is neato, steve. |
 |
renfrue on Apr 14 '08 most controversial design of 08 bestee here you come!!!!
woooooooooooooooooooo :-) it's very cute btw |
 |
bahahhah. not at all similar. cock x 6.
|
 |
stopped getting owned calcium
scumbag btw this is $5 :D |
 |
uhh, u spend 3 minutes on this..
i wouldn't use this as a dish rag..pfft |
|
well that was uncalled for couch
|
|
ginetteginette on Apr 14 '08 haha, don't worry about that guy, i've seen a few of his comments and he has terrible taste.
|
|
dude thats some radd shit going on there.
i fucking love it. :F |
|
Kinda wish "stalactite" was right side up so it was easier to read, but this shirt is very clever nonetheless :D
|
 |
bsweber on Apr 14 '08 |
|
I'll say it again, this design is wonderful, can't wait for it's print
|
|
thats not very constructive criticism couch, use your brain you fuckin turdmuncher
|
 |
rofl well this is a very entertaining comment section and an amazing shirt 5$ and calcium888 is an idiot
|
 |
Manos on Apr 15 '08 Nice one steve. $5!
|
 |
I've lost track of how many cocks are in here (that's what she said!) so I'll just point out (a) you can't copyright a title and (b) the title is irrelevant, it doesn't appear on the shirt, it's the image we are judging.
|
|
steven218 on Apr 15 '08 Thanks for the kind backup over this, I really appreciate it. It's not nice to be accused of something like that.
I emailed Andy Mueller from The Quiet Life too, and his opinion is pretty much the same as the rest of us, that the two designs have nothing in common other than the name. I also had a look at some of his awesome artwork and after speaking about threadless hopefully Andy will maybe take a look at subbing some design work here too. The more the merrier eh? I think all I can say now is thanks to calcium888 for a) bringing the pain on himself and b) helping to (hopefully) attract more top notch talent to threadless. Well done sir. |
 |
WanderingBert on Apr 15 '08 Huzzah! Well played chappy.
Great design btw. |
 |
Steven, a very nice outcome on this one. Well played.
|
|
steven218 on Apr 15 '08 thanks guys. hopefully the controversy doesn't adversely affect it's chances though.
|
 |
If anything I think it's garnered more support for this design.
|
|
Mr Rocks on Apr 15 '08 DRAMA! drink it off Steve... :)
|
 |
I'd buy.
|
|
Original, yet, ugly. 3

Please wait 5 seconds to see the back. It's up to you though, because it's pretty much just the front upside down… :)
Hope you like it.
