haha pretty funny.
|
 |
HA! This is rediculous! The skill and humour alone that were involved in this deserve a 5.
|
 |
Arrow08 on Aug 28 '08 haha, pretty funny
|
 |
well done
|
 |
that's so perfect
|
 |
tracerbullet on Aug 28 '08 haha
|
 |
Why's the black man got to sit in back?
|
 |
Nicely drawn but a little to topical to be a long lasting design. Well made though!
|
 |
so why is barack on the back seat!? can he not ride on the front of the bicycle!?
|
 |
hahaha
|
 |
I wiish I had loafers like those
|
 |
hahahah great. I Agree, a bit topical to be a long lasting design, but def. a $5.
|
 |
Numinous on Aug 28 '08 Bean12 and ProfessorE, seat position is not a value statement. It's just two good Americans taking a leisurely ride on their two-seater.
|
 |
ISABOA on Aug 28 '08 exceptional rendering - 5
|
|
Seat position once was a value statement.
Maybe Obama CHOSE to be on the back. He has that right. |
 |
bah i'd wear that every day.
|
|
Numinous on Aug 28 '08 They take turns, after all, they are Best Friends Forever. They don't let petty things come between their fun filled outdoor activities.
|
|
Ah, true. If Johnny and Bama can overcome such pettyness, can't we all?
All this togetherness gets a $5 from me. |
|
Numinous on Aug 28 '08 Obama, who's that? This is a picture of two good friends named John and Barack.
|
 |
Wonderful rendering 5
|
 |
monkeypim on Aug 28 '08 aha! you use the same wacom as I do...
this concept is really on a hot spot |
|
it's drawn well. me gusta mucho.
|
|
(that's spanish for... oh i forget)
|
 |
It isn't about WHY the black man is sitting on the back!! It's out of respect, you know "Age before Beauty". GREAT IDEA and funny!
|
 |
probably the best so far for this contest - mainly cause there is no pencil or person drawing your drawing its actually just a nice piece of art
well done $5 |
|
Numinous on Aug 28 '08 Thanks for the feedback everyone.
|
 |
HAHAHAAAA
|
 |
haha nice
|
 |
creepy
|
 |
jstumpenhorst on Aug 28 '08 hilarious!
|
 |
haha, cool!
|
 |
good illu but would not wear this on a tee..but funny print
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Aug 28 '08 I mean, it is indeed a superb rendering of the two candidates, but other than them being together on a bike, I don't really see a big concept here to really make me wanna have McCain on my chest. Barak's head seems a tad off from his neck and body. It's also too topical for a threadless tee, but like i said, exeptional drawing skills, just not for me. Sorry, just being honest!
|
 |
haha well they are the same so i imagine they DO bike together.
|
 |
Funny, but I'd rather not have either of those contemptible wretches on my chest. Amazing illustration.
|
 |
this is sooo funny!
|
 |
sweet concept and illustration. don't listen to Frickenawesome, he's a no-talent big mouth and self-ordained Threadless policeman.
|
 |
Funny, but this design has an expiration date that is coming up soon.
|

Man Oil aka has been a member since August 15, 2008, has scored 191 submissions, giving an average score of 0.45
Don't listen to Man Oil. She is just a douche for no apparent reason and hasn't been around here long enough to know what the fuck about what the fuck. Also, everything Evan said is true, except he forgot to point out the blatant racism. |
|
Numinous on Aug 29 '08 Thanks for the comments. ProfessorE, I agree with your comment about Man Oil, but disagree with your name calling - calling me a racist. How do you know I'm not an African American? Please be nicer next time.
|
|
Don't worry. I call everything racist. I think you are swell.
Besides, I know you are white because you listen to Neil Diamond. |
|
Numinous on Aug 29 '08 Ah yes, the sweet sounds of Neil. After listening to some "Sweet Caroline" even I wouldn't mind a nice bike ride through the park.
|
 |
Executed extremely well.
5. |
 |
sonmi on Aug 29 '08 hahaha this is really well done.
|
 |
mezo on Aug 29 '08 Very nice computer painting, for sure. Just not quite t-shirt design material yet. 4
|
 |
what's the big deal? it's a really funny shirt and very neutral. i love it!
$5 |
 |
lolololololololol! highlarious!
They both look so stoked to be on dat tandem. $$$$5 |
 |
i'd love this as a poster print. 5
|
|
This is highly amusing. I'm from Ireland and everyone in my university would find this funny.
Well, all the worthwhile people...which is most of them :) |
 |
why does McCain get to steer? I wouldn't trust him to steer, he's going to mess up and cause a big accident and thousands of innocent people will die. Put Obama up front, he obviously most qualified to lead this bike ride.
nice bike though |
 |
Montro on Aug 29 '08 Looks super well done but for a very limited audience.
|
 |
David T on Aug 29 '08 Great illustration and very funny idea. $5 for me. Though it would have to be printed before the end of the election...
|
|
Numinous on Aug 29 '08 lol velocipedicist. Bike wrecks sure do hurt. Barack usually brings some ointment for those occasional bruises. John brings the Bengay.
Thanks coenje for the Irish perspective: BFF is not just for Americans - all can partake of the "good times" :) |
|
nice, but i was kind of like...why is barack obama in the back?
|
|
Numinous on Aug 29 '08 Well you know, Barack and John take turns - that's what best friends do. Those two-seaters can be some work, and Barack is mindful of John's heart condition :)
|
|
Have to disagree with the limited audience thing - seriously, people in Ireland would love this. We've got some proper election nerds! And everyone aged 18-30 is plugging for Obama.
|
 |
andyg on Aug 29 '08 Excellent!
|
![[+duracell-]](http://media.threadless.com/profiles/48x48/107534.jpg){kind=small} |
nice but you made McCains arms too long.
|
 |
yeohgh on Aug 29 '08 OH WOWOWOWOOWW!!!! SUPERRR!!
|
 |
Well drawn, but I would NEVER want that as a shirt.
|
 |
Beautiful illustration!! Unity...something we will only have on a t-shirt
|
 |
Laser Bread on Aug 29 '08 those are some ridiculous illustration skills you have. very funny design. i love their expressions. this must be the greatest bike ride they've ever had.
|
 |
Hahaha, clever!
|
|
Nice illustration, but could it be printed and still keep the detail?
|
 |
Fitting, as McCain was around when the bicycle was invented and all.
|
 |
hahaha nice!! $5
|
|
hahaha nice!! $5
|
|
hahaha nice!! $5
|
|
hahaha nice!! $5
|
 |
I would love to wear this. PRINT PLEASE!
|
 |
Robsoul on Aug 30 '08 holy shit, that's bad azz!
|
 |
sweet! i chuckled!
|
 |
HAHAHAHA! to bad after the elections this wont make sense
|
|
Numinous on Aug 30 '08 Thanks everyone. I don't think anyone will forget John and Barack after November - their infectious smiles will color all my dreams.
|
|
Numinous on Aug 30 '08 Don't forget to check out my other sub Moon Landing Conspiracy and the high res images of BFF.
|
 |
wow, great illus
|
 |
Haha. No thanks politics.
|
 |
Barack's letting him ride in front because he's so much older. It's just courtesy. 4 :)
|
 |
hahaha...so good
|
 |
Excellente illustration.
|
 |
haha, funny!
|
 |
Man, if i was mccain's best friend, I would not be letting him ride a bike. Too much exertion for his age.
|
|
This is the first comment I'm posting on a shirt, because this one really deserves it!
NICE JOB! |
|
If anyone asks me whats wrong with threadless recently
I'm linking them to this design |
 |
well done!
|
 |
this is prettty awesome.....!!!!!
|
 |
Please, Please Print this. I'll wear this forever-- as long as their friendship lasts, that is. $$$$$5
|
 |
jpiatt on Sep 02 '08 It's well done and all but it seems like a waste of your talent considering that even if they selected this to be printed, it wouldn't even be printed until after the election most likely.
I can't really imagine anyone wearing this after the election. Then again, I can't really imagine anyone ever wearing anything with McCain on it to begin with. |
|
hilariousness!!! I love this, and the description too! $$$$$5
|
 |
I like you. 5.
|
 |
ilovedoodle on Sep 02 '08 This is hilarious! great work
|
|
Numinous on Sep 02 '08 Thanks for all the comments. How can anyone forget John and Barack? Just look at them; such happiness, such platonic joy!
|
|
I think this would be a better print, but its amazing
|
|
I hate it. Politics are not a joke. McCain Palin 08!
|
 |
Ahh, if only it were true.
|
|
gah political shirts
amusing but i'm so tired of the race |
 |
Everyone knows what I will say so I am not. Everyone also knows what score I am going to give.
|
 |
whirzle1 on Sep 04 '08 I don't think this will be a dead image after the election - I would still wear it years form now. I mean, if I had a Bush Sr-&-Clinton-riding-a-tandem-bike shirt I'd totally wear that today.
|
|
Numinous on Sep 04 '08 ya whirzle1, I have an old political shirt from 88' and always get compliments on it. You can SEE from the joy on their faces that these good friends will certainly last forever.
|
|
The world needs more Michael Dukakis.
|
 |
this is so relevent. i would love for this shirt to get printed so that i could buy it and wear it, then put it in my closet for 20 years, and pull it out when nobody knows or cares who mccain or obama are
|
|
This is OK, but I think it would be better if they were in skirts. Maybe Barry should be giving John a back rub.

r i n t if Threadless has a drop of greed in their blood they would realize this would sell-out like hot cakes. |

Awesomely beautiful drawing, very skilled obviously, and great idea. Personally I'd prefer it as a poster, not on my tee though, as most people wouldn't realise who the hell they were or what it was all about, just glancing at a tshirt for a second. Great stuff though!
|
 |
Interesting that you put John in the front. I think Barack would have better eye site.

About my design
It's hard to decide between friends, especially friends that are BFFs. John and Barack can be found (when not working on the campaign trail) taking picnics and country-side bike rides. John enjoys the fresh air and Barack frequently comments on "the good times!" While their loafers provide comfort, along with an embroidered cardigan and polo, their laughter provides the rest. Mirth, mingled with carefree platonic friendship, is a recipe few can resist.
