This is so disgusting man... I can't understand why you did it. I wouldn't wear it... I'd even reject it as a present. :P

Yes, it is disgusting....and I probably wouldn't wear it.....but someone probably would! Good idea, and awesome job!

hey, I didn't meant to be rude, it was just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it... In fact, I like the little workers illustration style. What I don't like is the concept, and most of all the hughe face and such a big placement on the shirt.

hahaha, thanks guys for the "interesting" and varied amount of reactions from this piece. Santo76, I'm sorry this is offensive to you, but an interesting visual play on picking your nose is something I find funny and would wear instantly, and I think this is only a minor amount of shock value in this before you realize what is going on and actually laugh at the ridiculousness of the design. And that's the point of it: attempting to be witty and ridiculous. Whether it fails or not is based on your opinions of societal norms and actions that fall somewhere in a gray area, where it's considered gross to see someone do this and you actually judge them, but we all do it sometimes and don't judge ourselves so harshly.



I also forgot to mention in the first comment that the multi-awesome'd phillydesigner whipped up this slick presentation.

haha! i don't think it's offensive at all.

There are a couple of dodgy lines around the edge, you should fix that up.



The guy with the nose map is my fave too XD

SO fantastic! To be honest, I wish we could see an even closer-up close-up! haha just to fully get all the little details (like the dude holding the nose map ftw!)



great work, guys! 4 from me!

hahaha, thanks guys! I just re-read what i wrote up there and realized it made less than no sense. hehehe, to re-state, this will be some people's kind of humor and some not, a cheap gross-out that you would never wear or something a little more than that, and that's perfectly cool!



Please keep voicing your opinions either way, and the one thing i DO know is I'm really proud of the detail in the nose and the sketches around all of that craziness that HAHA.sg illustrated here.

Hey man... I'm not offended I just don't like it... If I had to write such a long paragraph everytime someone says something I don't like about my work I would spend my life doing it.



Just accept people can have different oppinions and not always love what you do.



There is certain people that don't matter what an alumni subs and allways give nice comments... I don't wanna be one of those I'll allways say exactly what I think.



And if you feel ofended, please review the comments you left me.



Hope you understand... I want to enjoy being here and sharing our works and thoughts.

Santo, I was just responding to your first comment which i felt wasn't much in the way of critiquing with a line like "I can't understand why you did it" and "if this was a present I'd reject it".



I love honest feedback and I realized my first response to you was a bit nonsensical and was more defensive than i meant, which is why I clarified myself in the second one below that.



I'm also more defensive since it's a collab and I feel HAHA.sg did an awesome job bringing this concept to life and shouldn't be blamed if anyone finds the concept unappealing.



So please, continue Santo with leaving honest comments, but try not to be randomly hurtful, be a bit more clear with what bugs you about a design, thanks man!

concept as a graphic could be funny, I just think the rendering looks to homemade for lack of a better term-

Ohhh this is gross, but toatally awsome at the same time and a perfect gift for a 15 year old teen.
Santo76
   Santo76 on Jan 24 '09
Yeah... you are right, it felt a little rude... please remember I'm not a native english speaker (i'm from argentina) and sometimes it gets difficult to express what I think.



just for the record the line "I can't understand why you did it" was because I really like all your other submissions.



Thanks for understandig... I have also sent you an email, answer it if you don't mind... I'd like to be in touch with you.

So who does the hiring of that crew? Do they have to get replaced every time I sneeze or is there like a safety line they can hook up to? If they go on strike does that mean I would actually be able to breathe for once? Nice job guys. Original concept and nice artistry!
