I think it would need to be bigger on the shirt, maybe shifted down and left and enlarged, but otherwise it's a fun, well-done image.

Great concept! Too bad Ray Frenden came up with it in 2007

Ray Frenden's image was uploaded to flicker in Novemeber 2007. This image was online myspace a month before that.

Hey, Dennis.

Benefit of the doubt and all that. The three major elements are pretty similar. Was my image an influence?
fatheed
   fatheed on Jul 15 '08
This is nicely done - although I'd like to see more symmetry in the layout - perhaps even a hand-drawn text. Also - it's useless saying that this was on myspace a month earlier. It's usually down to who puts an idea in the public domain first - and even then, people constantly think up identical concepts independently of each other.

Seems like this comic from 2000 is the first instance of the zombie/grains idea.

Anyhow, I'd buy the shirt definitely.

Talked to Dennis; stand up fellow. I think we just have similar sensibilities.

Sorry internet, no fight here. Ray and I worked it out and possibly we were separated at birth.
Hobbz

Love it! I would suggest changing "Grainnns!" to "Graaains!". Seems like the emphasis should be on the "A".

I'd still buy it!

Whatchu talkin' about? Shopping is dead easy.
Printing a poster from a 72dpi image isn't as badass as you think it is.

Were you trying to buy this shirt? It hasn't been printed. It's still in the competition. If you want to buy this shirt, give it a 5 and hope for the best.

"Seems like this comic from 2000 is the first instance of the zombie/grains idea."

Good find, I was going to post that myself. I actually own the domain veganzombie.com that I registered back in 2003. It used to just be a page that said "graaaaaiiinnnsss" for the longest time. Been trying to figure out what to do with it for years :P
Afarka
Afarka on Jul 15 '08
what about if you took off vegan zombie?
i think the character alone stands strong enough to do without the type. the type seems to just make the shirt say "vegan zombie" twice. When the character sums it up all on its own, with the speech bubble of course
water_dragon
water_dragon on Jul 16 '08
I would by at least 2 of these and possibly more! Doesn't matter where the idea came from, getting it on a T-Shirt is the important part!

mangus

If it didn't actually _say vegan zombie on it, I would buy it for sure!
littleoracle
littleoracle on Jul 16 '08
totally agree with the folk above.

i'd make it graaaaaains as well and take off the words and shift it down and to the side a bit.

design and concept is awesome and i would totally buy it.
littleoracle
littleoracle on Jul 16 '08
sorry, just thought of this too: the zombie's tshirt could say 'go vegan' or something on it.

i'd remove the text and insinuate the zombie is a vegan using the space on his tee-shirt.
r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus
   r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Jul 17 '08
yes alas i agree about the text...VEGAN ZOMBIE would be understandable if he simply said GRAINS...really great colours and line work....i'll give this a $4
jeffsj
jeffsj on Jul 17 '08
I love this shirt! I wouldn't change a thing! Removing that text would kill the whole "Monster Movie" vibe he's got going there.
killsunny69
killsunny69 on Jul 17 '08
This shirt touches me in ways that haven't been done since the 8th grade. I wouldn't change anything about it.Why destroy something that is beautiful? Taking out the text is total noob advice, leave it be!
amymin
amymin on Jul 17 '08
I think the shirt is awesome as is. It wouldn't make much sense to remove the vegan zombie text as it's part of the punchline. It would be similar to the new yorker comic contests. Sure the picture is funny and you can use your imagination but it could be interpreted as a multitude of things to different people.
ferociousj
ferociousj on Jul 17 '08
The text is basically perfect as-is.

This shirt is great! 5's all the way. Please don't listen to the wannabe critics that tell you to take out text, switch a color, change the size, etc. I'm buying this shirt!!

Hmmm, it was done before by Mr. Awesome Zombie Sketcher himself. But he's okay with it and it's clearly in a different vein and style. Hmmm again. I can't stand the vegan lifestyle yet i think this is very very funny. Hmm the third time. The amount of new people coming on here to vote is kinda crazy, but still, I'm gonna go with a solid 4 on this one when all's moaned and done.

I think that simply putting "Grains" on a t-shirt with a zombie would not imply that it is a Vegan Zombie. I like it as it is!
