About my design
by Laser Bread   
(Wait a couple secs to see the shirt.)

How else do modern kangaroos adapt to the hustle and bustle of everyday life?

I think this design could also work without the type, but I like it best with the type. Would also make a good print.

I think the type is unnecessary and maybe even spoils it. But the illustration is gorgeous.

4 with text / 5 without

Oh man, this is so classy! I love the wonderful shading on this one and the realistic poses for such a goofy scenario. I think i like it without the explanation because it's clear as day what each piece is the way you have illo'd it. It would be more of a surprise and be something people would do a double-take for.

so cute! i think the description would do better somewhere else on the shirt (sleeve/back?), but this is top quality.

Impossible to score this under a $5.

your recent subs are some of the best I've seen on threadless all year. this is simply awesome and an obvious print and possible bestee. i like the type with the shirt best. reminds me of what you would see in a catalog and that juxtaposes the visual nicely.

Thanks for the comments so far and the votes. I think it's funnier with the text, but it can definitely work both ways, with or without.

Great shirt! Gotta agree though, get rid of the text and labels. Usually I think t-shirts on this site could do with 'em, but not this one.
Laser Bread
   Laser Bread on Jul 02 '08
Thanks for the comments! Glad everyone is into this design. As far as the text, trust me, I'm a firm believer in the "if it doesn't need it, lose it" mentality. I agree that it doesn't need the text, but in this case, I think the mundane normalcy of the text (which I modeled after the info tag that accompanies most new backpacks and laptop bags) juxtaposes the visual and makes it funnier. I think it supports it nicely rather than competing with it. Regardless, if Threadless likes it, they can decide to print it with text or without. No complaints from me. :)

Definitely text. Where it is sorta works....somewhere else creative?: "Shot gun" and "In Case of Zombies"

Does this mean that kangaroo souveniers will be branching out beyond 'scrotum purses' and 'jerkey' in the future?
Look-out China Town!

Though not necessary, the text is good, makes it more... it needs that other colour in there...

what i don't like about the text is that the little yellow dots on the design are annoying, and detract from the image. however, if the text stays, i would definitely put it on the back or sleeve
