oh man, this is great. I wish the references were slightly more recognizable, but great style.
I'm actually the opposite... i think the references are perfectly subtle to make the payoff all the larger, but I think the style probably isn't shirt material.
That said, I think this would be a pretty brilliant illustration project, if not a great tee. I kinda picture it as a series of yearbook photos. Sort of along the lines of jublin's injured pokemon (or blakeb's pokemon with human faces [it's sad that both examples that came to mind first are pokemon related])
