randyotter3000 on Jun 24 '09 oh comon as if threadless doesnt accpet enough shit designs that you need to spam up the voting pages more with this crap i really hate it sorry man :S
|
 |
O.o
I don't get it. that's terrible. And blatant. Rubbish. |
 |
Rachel Ray Gun on Jun 24 '09 Well I think this is really nice and has great line quality.
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 24 '09 is this some kind of pisstake regular people arent in on?
|
|
I'm not judging it's artistic quality. I'm saying it doesn't belong here.
|
 |
LOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Rachel
|
 |
Awesome stuff once again
|
 |
dont crit without giving a reason guys, that would be called bashing. I like the idea here as well as the line quality but it does not really work on the shirt. Also, you are using copyrighted characters, to me they are still recognizable as the simpsons. So that might be a problem.
|
 |
i love this!
|
 |
I like this a lot too.
Playful. Ignore the haters. |
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 24 '09 oh shut up vote tard your only typing nice stuff cus you went "oh a pink person typed they liked it i beter copy because i cant think for myself" probably also due to the fact its a printed artist
|
 |
bortwein on Jun 24 '09 there is something about this that I like. The pop culture reference of both The Simpsons as well as the Internet Video Youtube view window done in such an artistic free hand drawing style is very interesting. It has a sort of raw Andy Warhol take on Internet video. Plus I think it looks pretty good on the shirt. As a Simpsons fan I would consider wearing this.
|
 |
I'm not keen on this design (lines and everything else) but I think we all have to remember this is someones work and like Threadless says at least try and "be nice". Gee!
|
 |
$5
|
 |
mismonaut on Jun 24 '09 I actually quite like this. Took me by surprise, and made me give a second look.
I don't care for The Simpsons, but I would buy this, and wear it. |
 |
This is too artistic for Threadless. I really like the line quality, and giving soft character to the cold, streamlined internet is a great concept. I'm imagining this as a drawing a YouTube-generation kid might make, like hung on a refrigerator. But no one will see past the trademarked characters.
|
 |
mezo on Jun 24 '09 This is awesome! I love how it goes against the norm of traditional t-shirt design. This has way more style and interest than the 3950374 watercolor for watercolor sake's BS. And the laid-back sketchy nature is divine! Keep it up, mr. pimpant! Homer & I love this.
|
 |
While I'm not a very big fan of this particular piece, I -am- a very big fan of mr.pimpant because he so regularly challenges artistic boundaries. He made two of my all time favorite woot shirts. I campaigned hard for him at cameesa. I threw a near hissy fit of excitement when he came up here at April Fools and at Teefury soon after. Some people truly enjoy his unique sketchy style and frequently stark color schemes. It's not for everyone, but for his fans, that is part of the charm.

randyotter3000 on Jun 24 '09 artistic arrogance like this gets urinals and raw chickens in galleries
|
 |
danrule on Jun 24 '09 rad
|
|
danrule on Jun 24 '09 wait, why all the hate on this? this has concept and is interesting. You're a buffoon if you can't see past the characters.
|
 |
ndstillie on Jun 24 '09 coming across this is refreshing.
|
 |
dig
|
 |
nice! I can't believe this got ragged on so much up there.
|
 |
band-it on Jun 24 '09 haha whoa, i can't believe how fast i would wear this.
seriously, this is the first shirt in a LONG time i would buy |
 |
sorry, but it looks like a 5-year-old drew it.
|
 |
yesssssssss
|
 |
i agree with mr. bortwein
|
|
i appoligize for not making a more intellectiual critique. it's just not my style, and I don't see how this is lauded as great art. If that's the case, I'll sell you my sketchbooks...
|
 |
i'm a huge fan of very classic, straightforward and flattering placements on tees, especially when the actual graphic really plays with the accepted norms of what makes a 'nice' print. i love that you've actually just made a great looking tee instead of trying to be all 'graphic designer' about it. it's got that great, folksy feel of old moldy peaches album covers. great work! $5
|
|
but it's someone else's characters
|
 |
Haha love it!!
|
 |
jublin on Jun 24 '09 i tried to click it.
i'm still trying to click it. |
 |
kooky love on Jun 24 '09 GREAT $5
|
 |
olie! on Jun 25 '09 I love you, mr. pimpant.
|
 |
likey
|
 |
ohoh
so awesome! |
 |
Love it! So simple
|
 |
lol! win! win! win! 5$

randyotter3000 on Jun 25 '09 |
 |
I genuinely really like it, and it gets better and better the more I look at it.
|
|
randyotter stop being a prick, if threadless had a problem with the copyright they wouldn't have put it up for scoring
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 25 '09 sorry i dont see why i should just roll over and accept something if i dont agree with it
|
|
April's fool 2010?
|
 |
while im not crazy about this, what i do enjoy about your work is that it seems to fill a personal need to capture moments in time and the energy associated with it. your images are like a visual recording of a thought before it escapes. i also think if you attempted to refine your images you would come close to losing it entirely. good stuff.
|
 |
I think this looks great on the tee and I quite like the linework.
however....... i'm genuinely confused about threadlesses acceptance policy - i had a tee declined initially because i had included a copyrighted character but somehow this one is ok. confused! |
 |
Kookaberry on Jun 25 '09 This isn't artistic arrogance! This is genuine skill. The amazing thing about his work is that on the surface it looks perhaps easy to do but in reality it's not at all. He has a really amazing way of capturing the essence of things. And as corey9 pointed out I believe refining it would completely lose a certain je ne sais quoi.
|
 |
$5!
|
 |
i agree with Seabs about how interesting this that it got through. because to me it is VERY obvious that it is The Simpsons.
however most of the haters arnt hating it for that reason, but for some childish "this is to different for my little brain to rap around reason". i think its an overall sweet concept and although I understand how some might dislike, besides the copyrighted characters, i enjoyed it. (oh and LOL at the Wikipedia copyright link.... ohh Wikipedia) |
 |
Let's give this a realistic look. There is a fine line between art and ridiculous, and this is straddling the line. Marcel Duchamp 's fountain anyone? This is pushing everyone here to re-define 't-shirt acceptable..." which on a small scale, is a large feat. SO - props to you Mr. P - whether you meant to or not (which I suspect you did) You have my attention, though I would not wear the shirt. You have made this require artistic reflection - the first design in 1,800 I've scored to do so.
props! |
 |
Obviously the copyrighted characters aren't a problem, as it's up for scoring. Threadless obviously believes that they are altered enough from their original form to be free from the copyright laws. And I do, too.
And now about the design: It rocks! Keep up the good work! |
 |
I love how everybody adores the emperors new clothes
|
|
it's a risk, because it's different
i just don't like it |
 |
jublin on Jun 24 '09
i tried to click it. i'm still trying to click it. |
 |
Ivantobealone on Jun 25 '09 The score will probable suck, but I would definitely wear this
|
 |
you know why this is good? because it's divisive. there's passion both for and against this design and that is the 'meaning' if there could be one, of the endeavor of making 'art'.
this is a perfect time capsule of culture icons done in a visually unsettling way which obviously, some really, really don't like. it's almost a perfect design. awesome stuff. |
 |
keep subbing man! i'm your fan! your designs are awesome!
|
 |
ginetteginette on Jun 25 '09 holy fuck, i can't believe half these comments. it's the most fucking most banging that's been submitted here in awhile.
|
|
mr.pimpant on Jun 26 '09 It's a pleasure to make people react with a black and white image.
I would like to thanks everyone, but most of all randyotter3000 and ShawnLogan, who really seem to hate it. |
 |
I would buy this in an instant. Great idea and so well done! $5
|
|
ginetteginette on Jun 26 '09 i swear i wasn't drunk last night but i meant to say that this is the most banging design ever.
|
|
band-it on Jun 26 '09 i can't tell you how much i want this printed
|
|
"I love how everybody adores the emperors new clothes"
bull, just because you don't like it doesn't mean everybody who does is just pretending to because they think they should. i would still love this and buy it no matter who'd designed it and whether or not anybody else liked it. one of the best designs i've seen on here in a LONG time |
|
Well, I guess I came off very harsh. Sometimes I let my lack of time constrain my ability to express my opinion in a more dynamic and decisive manner. I don't "hate" it, I just never really got behind this type of artistic expression; and I went to a 4 year private art college. It's just not my thing. I know the whys and whats and hows that many of the other people seem to like about it. I see that viewpoint and understand the illogic behind it - to a point - but I don't understand the way people elevate it to a groundbreaking, boundary pushing expression. It just looks like a half hearted doodle to me, an unfinished concept, a malformed idea, and rather dull. That's just me. But I understand why people like it. I might like it more if it had been done by an artist supported by the copyright (you aren't, are you?). I mostly think it's too close to copyrighted characters for this particular venue; however, apparently the admins don't. So best of luck.
|
 |
I would like to thanks everyone, but most of all randyotter3000 and ShawnLogan, who really seem to hate it.
hahaha well I love it, i think it looks really great on the tee. i am a fan of this as i am of all your work. plus i felt embarassed because i actually tried clicking it lol 5$ |
|
shawn, why does it matter that these are not his characters? plenty of shirts have been printed that include other people's characters, like dark side of the garden etc. it's not like he's just stuck a picture of bart simpson on a t-shirt
|
|
mezo on Jun 26 '09 ...yep, still love this.
|
 |
jublin on Jun 24 '09
i tried to click it. i'm still trying to click it. |
 |
Sheesh, so uptight around here on Threadless. Can't lo-fi/minimalist work get a break?
|
 |
Randyotter is officially on my twat list.
$5 |
 |
I like your other stuff.
This... I'm not a fan of. |
 |
I personally think this is Hilarious. I don't know if you can use the characters because I don't think they are in the public domain. Regardless, I would buy this shirt. $5.
|
 |
yay! people are talking about stuff!! good times. i like this design for whatever reason. def a fan of the simpsons.
|
 |
TangYauHoong on Jun 26 '09 brilliant idea
|
 |
"dont crit without giving a reason guys" - it's not in the critiques, we can bash if we want. I agree it shouldn't be here, and it's distracting for designs that are worth the time to look at.
|
 |
(matthijs) on Jun 27 '09 Awesome stuff once again. Print!
|
 |
HA mon cher Pimpino, tu es le dieu du tapage sur internet. Seul toi sais aussi bien provoquer les discordes. King of chaos.
Et puis ce n'est pas les simspons s'il n'y a pas maggie. Bises |
|
ginetteginette on Jun 27 '09 joger can flock off. this is more deserving to be here than 50% of the other trash submitted.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 27 '09 I usually like the experiments mr. pimpant goes for and brings to our mind's eye on Threadless, they just aren't the kind of things I ever see myself wearing. But thinking outside the box is good for both the artist and for viewers of said work. There's definitely some interesting things going on in this piece.
|
 |
Like it a lot.
|
|
this is more deserving to be here than 50% of the other trash submitted.
really? |
|
ginetteginette on Jun 27 '09 ruhruhruhREALLY!
|
|
ginette... you're too hip for the internet.
|
|
more like 70-80% tbh
|
 |
wuojojo 5$
|
 |
I love it. I'd go into a huge spiel about how much I like it, but I'd sound silly and use stupidly long words, so I'm just going to say I love it again.
|
|
well, my opinion aside, let the numbers do the talking.
|
 |
i agree with ginnette! this is rad!
|
 |
yes.
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 I dont think people who saw you wearing this tee shirt who dont have any sort of artistic sympathy would be very kind towards it, mostly likely things like "did your little sister make that t-shirt for you" etc ya know.....but hey maybe thats what you want
|
|
I wish my little sister made this for me ;(
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 that would be a nice gesture indeed
|
 |
Tonteau on Jun 29 '09 I think it's great.....and great art usually divides opinion. There's a lot going on, it's interesting. Kudos.
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 yea thats definately a good thing :)
|
|
ginetteginette on Jun 29 '09 randy, fuck man, would you really not wear a scribbly t-shirt because someone would compare it to a drawing a child made? REALLY? those same fucking idiots would give the same comment if i wore some of your designs!
if that's the way you think about this, i feel really sorry for your eyes. |
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 yea they most likely would and i know alot of my designs are pretty crappy but for me to like something there has to be a stand out feature that sells thes image and with this image there doesnt seem to be something, i think the fact that those are reconisable charcaters paired with the youtube window doesnt help the scribbly styling because you know how tese things should really look whereas if it was used to create something that wasnt reconisable as someones else image the strength of the linework and marks would be better appriciated
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 thats me trying to use my brain ^^ :)
|
 |
I think that's why this qualifies as artisitc. Because something that is inherently digital and appears on a screen with perfect straight lines and that can move has been recreated in the impression of a static pencil scribble. If it was a screencap of the youtube website, then this would be utter crap.
|
|
lol @ reconisable
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 i dont mean he should of made this almost as a screen cap but create something around a much less reconisabe subject matter to allow more emphasis on his linework
|
|
ginetteginette on Jun 29 '09 that's like saying 'if he did a completely different drawing, this drawing would be better'.
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 fine if you dont know what i mean i give up
|
 |
Gar0 on Jun 29 '09 Wicked. Something that makes you think, but still has a sense of humour. Nice one. $$$$$
|
 |
I like your style!!
|
|
also lol @ reconisabe
how cute |
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 29 '09 fast typing makes typo's not really big news
|
 |
i love this design $$$$$ bucks bucks bucks
|
 |
randy you've stated your opinion, now stop ruining an artist's design page.
this is refreshing. not sure i'd wear it, but i love the pop culture reference and i can tell you did the linework like that for a reason. pretty cool. i keep trying to click it! but unlike jubs, i only tried about 5 or 6 times. |
|
jublin on Jun 30 '09 you might want to resub this
the "play" button isn't working |
 |
Pushing the boundaries. That's good!
|
 |
i really like what you were going for. you may not care about this kind of input but something that i would have done is made drawings a little better and, thinking about the copyright issue, switched the heads or other physical characteristics of the characters with other ones. please feel free to dump on my critique submission:
http://www.threadless.com/critique/47394/Brainstorm |
|
there's nothing wrong with how this is drawn. drawing this 'perfectly' would just ruin the concept, and i'd probably give it a 1 at best rather than a $5.
|
|
randyotter3000 on Jun 30 '09 randy you've stated your opinion, now stop ruining an artist's design page.
I dont think a talented artist like mr pimpant will be against what is now 16 bumps to his work and if anything, by me debtaing on here he only has more people saying that they love it soooo im fairly sure he would be cool with it |
 |
You're doing something different, cool!
|
 |
Loving it! $5!!!
|
 |
Nice shirt, I love your style!
|
 |
outline on Jun 30 '09
randy you've stated your opinion, now stop ruining an artist's design page. Nice! Looks very nice on the shirt, cheers :) |
|
randyotter3000 on Jul 01 '09 oh the irony
|
|
robbed
|
|
band-it on Jul 01 '09 nice form, randy.
|
|
ginetteginette on Jul 01 '09 not ironic. controversial shirts never score well because the majority of voters are idiots.
sorry again pimpant :( |
|
randyotter3000 on Jul 01 '09 it handt finished scoring when i made the irony comment as that was aimed at garciagirl, I am a little surprised it didnt break a 2 though, and as always if your opinion doesnt match the regular threadpeople it is wrong
|
 |
people would click the hell out of me if i wear this.
I like it! 5$ |
|
oooo crap i´m some hours too late =/
|
 |
tesco on Jul 03 '09 mate... belated 5$
I hope this gets a staff pick or something |
 |
i'm in love with this and i totally second the belated $5
|
 |
jstumpenhorst on Jul 03 '09 1.78? staff pick.
|
|
looks like we'll have to wait until April 1, 2010
|
|
ginetteginette on Jul 13 '09 it should be april first every month of the year
|
|
I want this !!
|
|
mr.pimpant on Jul 15 '09 Thanks you for the support,
very much appreciated. |
 |
i love your work mr. pimpant.
there are multiple shirts on threadless that play on popular icons and recognizable symbols that are readily accepted. it seems that the tee has to be making an obvious, humorous point in order to be considered 'good'. if you want a more graphic feel, look at the 100 + other designs. (nothing against those tees, of course!) but i feel that this design caters to different tastes, which variety isn't a bad thing (is it?) but i feel this design brings forth another level of 'playing off of recognizable symbols' in which can cater to fresh and newer ideas. (if that makes sense~) speaking of catering, this caters to my hearttttttt (aha~)$5 |
|
anyone who has a moustache at the top of their blog/website is awesome
|
 |
Lol.
|
 |
shiroshok on Aug 03 '09 Pimpant is the most naturally talented drawer in the world right now.
Everything that needs to be there is done in the first line. |
 |
Why is this so low. This is a fantastic idea, too bad it may never see print... Fantastic job mr.pimpant
