liking the smoke rising from the gothic nuclear reactor to make homer. awesome work!

WOOOOO! 5$

I'm so tired of pop culture crap. Yes, this is amazingly drawn but so what? Where's the concept? The Simpson's as monsters. Hooray.
Besides, I already saw this in the last Halloween special. |

I'm so tired of pop culture crap. Yeah! Do a design about James Joyce already! (5$) |

what's good about this besides the execution?

Awesome! 5++

arzie13 on May 17 '10 Real World
Umm... The concept. |
 |
bengineer on May 17 '10 agree with the others about wanting to see more original concepts from you but still can't score this anything but $5 ;)
|
|
arzie13
Umm... What concept. |
|
And no offense at all to buko - he's, by far, one of the best designers on this site. Just getting tired of the same old "let's make pop culture icons look like something else" trick. He's capable of so much more.
But I'll hold my tongue in the future so I don't offend the sensitive tless community. Sorry! |
 |
could be pushed a little farther, maybe the two interacting somehow but the execution is superb as always. $4
|
 |
fantastic tee!
nice idea! |
 |
The concept was done as for treehouse of horror so not sure it is totally original treehouse of horror
|
 |
So awesome.

randyotter3000 on May 17 '10 so lazy AND a concept rip

love it 5

Just getting tired of the same old "let's make pop culture icons look like something else" trick.
agreed, the design is brilliant, but it's not getting my dollars |

alvarejo on May 17 '10 you are so damn good man $5

randyotter3000 on May 17 '10
so lazy AND a concept rip How is it lazy? |
|
randyotter3000 on May 17 '10 just because something seems techinically well done doesnt mean its not lazy

Naolito on May 17 '10 This is amazing and you're one of the best. 5$

I feel all this criticism is unjustified. sometimes people need to take a step back from the opinionation (I know thats not really a word) and just appreciate something for what it is. This design is incredibly well done, we all know it and I feel like no one can really successfully refute that. Seriously great work man keep it up.

sorry for the double comment (really wish you could delete those)

alexmdc on May 17 '10 the pop culture hate seems a bit weird to me, I know some people just want to see ART but to each their own, it sells well and I think it's brilliant! buko has shown more then enough time he can do more then well enough without the pop culture reference, I think this design is amazing, and well executed, no need for people to trash it, it almost seems like jealousy. Look at the design for what it is, I understand when pop culture is done bad, but this is well thought out and executed perfectly!
|
|
Naolito on May 17 '10 I feel bad for buko for having so many problems with some comments lately. But I think too that they wouldn't criticize him if he weren't a threadless top5. Alex has expresed it perfectly, it seems jealousy.
Again, congrats for another brilliant design buko. No matter what a minority says. |
 |
Jebs on May 17 '10 i clearly agree with alexmdc! We are not making ART, we are making designs for tee shirt, and it's all about that, do you want to wear it...? do you think it's wearable?
Of course, the concept has to be strong, the design has to be a minimum well drawn, and using Pop CUlture has to have a sense...i think that here, Buko makes all that: Amazingly done, conceptually good (not of course a stunning concept, but strong enough IMO), and prettywearable! what else? well, 5$$$ |
 |
Santo76 on May 17 '10 awesome mashup!

randyotter3000 on May 17 '10 Im pressuming you were too busy being patronizing to click the image link up there then
|
|
alexmdc on May 17 '10 I mean it's still art :) but yeah people tend to forget what the medium they're designing for is tshirts and not a painting, I love seeing all type of work, but I think buko is dead on with the audience and whats he's working for, and thus makes it more marketable and not surprisingly climbing to the top non stop of most printed around here :)

THIS IS AWESOME, BEST SO FAR!

you are the man
5$$ |
|
randyotter3000 on May 17 '10 whether it is art, a tee shirt or whatever, it still represents the designer the person wearing it and the threadless community and as part of that I am always going to have a problem with trying to make money off other peoples work regardless of that persons talent. If picasso walked in here and painted me luke skywalker I would ask why the hell is he doing it because he is far more talented than that (also dead), yet the irony being it would still sell for thousands and thousands. So sure churn out vaguely different parodies if you so wish but I doubt it will feel as good as creating something that is truly yours.
|
 |
ibyes on May 17 '10 Awesome work! 5$!
|
|
Jebs on May 17 '10 alexmdc: eheh, sometimes, it's Art, i'm ok with that, but firstly, we are not supposed to make art on Threadless, that's a "plus", that's an extra indeed...but Mainly, i'd say we try to make "Cool T shirt to wear", don't we?
and this one by Buko is cooooool! (By the way, just received Monkey Business in Hoody, that's a killer alex, YOU are a killer) |
 |
Okay so definitely great used of software and techniques, but what’s the concept? Why is it that “Homer” is coming out as smoke from some kind of an antique nuclear power plant? And “Marge” is excelling out of the water? And why are they both portrayed as a Frankenstein creature? Design is about making things work not about making things pretty. But again great work just put a meaning into it. 2.1!
|
|
It's incredibly illustrated but it's been done before (refer to the link above), similar to the star wars one he did. Just want to see Buko go back to his ROOTS when his stuff was fresh and original. That's all.
That said, he's still one of my fave artists on this site. Calm down, people. Just being honest. I know the truth is hard to swallow but quit taking things so personally. Buko is great. And he will continue to be. |
|
alvarejo on May 17 '10 copycow. I disagree completely with you
|
 |
rodrigobhz on May 17 '10 I think the title explains the concept and the execution is top notch - as usual. I agree with alexmdc and jebs and I do think Buko should do whatever he wants cuz everything he does is nothing but amazing.
|
 |
dlincoln83 on May 17 '10 "antique nuclear power plant" =Homer worked at a power plant and the Franken monster was created in a dungeon...smash them together.
LOVE THIS 5$$$ |

Bisparulz on May 17 '10 wow looks great 5$

theres some tension going on here hahah
Still you have some excellente illustration skills, keep it up! |

Chengui on May 17 '10 I agree that this is AWESOME! People can rip on pop culture refrences all they want, but that's what scores well here so....mixed messages I guess.
Plus, Buko out of almost anyone I can think of here has had a TON of art oriented designs AND prints! GO BUKO! |
|
Chengui on May 17 '10 And for those of you that think this is completely two different things stuck together, I think the whole joke is that Marge has hair almost exactly like Bride of Frankenstein.

ISABOA on May 17 '10 i support you and your pop culture subs buko!!
|
 |
This is awesome, i can't ignore the fact that the simpsons already did the same concept on the show but if buko didn't see it, i think it's a logical combo. As for pop culture designs being overdone, maybe, but they will never stop printing these and for good reason! 5
|
 |
i'm a buko fan of course ;) i give 5 for skill, but i wouldn't wear it. i think everyone should design whatever makes them happy. if buko enjoys pop culture, more power to him :)
|
|
alvarejo on May 17 '10 i support this sub again
|
|
admission: I had never seen the actual Simpsons reference, yet I had an idea to make Homer Frankenstein and Marge the Bride or whatever she is in this sub, because of the hair. I tried to design it and failed miserably. Gave up. Buko knocked it out of the park, and gave it a bunch more cool references (powerplant/dungeon, animated/reanimated, etc)

ginetteginette on May 17 '10 simpsons did it :(

ginetteginette on May 17 '10
simpsons did it :( ...with less artistic flair and poorer execution. |

amazingly epic illustration cant believe some of the comments! $5
|
 |
igo2cairo on May 17 '10 Really awesome concept and great execution as usual! I don't get people criticizing designs with pop culture references, sure are a lot of people willing to buy them so how can you blame the designer? I look upon it as a specific genre that has it's place.
Yeah, it's a trend, but it's really tough to think of a design with a good, clever pop cultural reference, at least for me it is. For those who criticize, I challenge you to come up with a good one of your own. Anyway, I'm jumping on the band-wagon and have one in the works that I'm pretty excited about. :) |

hahaha! LOVE IT!!!

hahaha rather interesting comment-read for an interesting design.

Heh, you guys are too dumb to realize this design isn't even about the Simpsons, its about Everybody Loves Raymond. Tell me the dood doesn't look exactly like Brad Garrett, I dare you.
|
 |
The detail is great
|
 |
looks great!
my only criticism is the bottom 4 clouds. I don't think they are necessarily needed in the design. Still, a wonderful piece of work, with beautiful details in the faces. Brilliant Buko, you have a gift, my friend :) |

THIS TIENE QE SER PRINTED. you rock hombre, eres muy good, love your work, everybody is talking about it, that cant be bad!

Santo76 on May 18 '10 I support this again too.
Everyone is making a good point here, supporters and non supporters. But can't blame the awesome buko... just check his latest scores and compare pop vs artsy and you'll see. GO BUKO! |

Gabrielng on May 18 '10 amazing design!
|
 |
agrimony on May 18 '10 i dont know what the fuss is about. its pretty darn excellently drawn, may not be an entirely new concept altogether. I wouldnt give it a 5 but it would probably be a 4 to me.
dont vote things up just because its a pop culture reference, same goes for not voting things down just because its pop culture either. |
 |
really well-executed. not very original. 3
|

Gabrielng on May 18 '10 amazing design!

Love or hate it...
this will print I love it by the way 5$ |
 |
Great execution on this piece.
While I may agree with the "Pop-haters" a little, the pop-culture shirts print; therefore pop is here to stay. If you don't like pop-culture shirts be prepared to be disappointed or go somewhere else. Keep on keeping on by impressing us with your great art. 4 |
 |
Agree mostly with the thread. You're an all-star Buko. Go back to your roots. Like CLASSIC BUKO style. 4

Heh, fans. Half the time, we crucify artists for taking the same stand against our narrow view of them that they took against everyone else in the first place, and that made us their fans to begin with.
I think it's super hypocritical for us to demand that buko go back to "his old style" because we are dissatisfied. Why is catering to the "purist" crowd any better than catering to the "general public"? Artists go thru phases the same way audiences do, and it's not as if he hasn't proven himself a dozen times over. If he's feeling poppy, and he is enjoying the work, who are we to party poop? Although I don't particularly love this design, I really support it. GO BUKO! Sorry if this was annoying. :( |
 |
RicoMambo on May 19 '10 Love your work:)
|
 |
mangobajito on May 19 '10 There's nothing wrong with pop references as long as they sell. C'mon guys, remember this is a business after all, If this kind of designs sell, they will print them! Great work!

psykomakia on May 17 '10
ginetteginette on May 17 '10 simpsons did it :( ...with less artistic flair and poorer execution. Without getting into the design itself, which will only not print if Universal Monsters or the Simpsons step in legally to defend their rightful property, I have to comment on this reply. In the real world, it doesn't matter who did it better if the people who did it first have a legitimate copyright claim. Because that's how originality works. Saying "this is done better" is saying Matt Groening sucks and has no right to preserving his own characters and concepts. |
 |
Really well drawn
|
 |
Everyone's entitled to an opinion, even those who are being critical. It doesn't have to always be "awesome $5!! " comments. Constructive/negative criticism is what helps people grow rather than becoming complacent cause we think all is well just the way it is.
In case you all missed it, every single person that has criticized buko has also stated they love some of his earlier works and have admitted that he's a great artist. And he really is a great artist. Please stop hating on them for being honest in their criticism and missing other sides of his talent. Sometimes the same ol' can get boring (ie. certain pop references, the neverending mustache jokes, remake or a remake of a remake, etc). Anyways, I think it's fun... but as some others have stated, not my fav out of your designs. |
 |
The concept is semi-passable but the drawing is superb. People like Buko's work for the aesthitic qualities he brings to his pieces, not just because they include pop culture references.
Buko-Please carry on making cool tees like the Star Wars sub! $5 |
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on May 19 '10 I'm not gonna get into the debate that's raging on here because there are other places and blogs right now on Threadless to discuss this, so I'll just focus on the design and not the bigger picture here:
Amazing illo as always, very cool visualization of the Simpsons as Frankenstein and his bride, but....I kinda don't see the connection between these two ideas that makes the concept really gel with me and the reason for using pop culture characters. It's the Simpsons, it's monsters....I do like the clever touch of having the nuclear power plant turn into a Translyvanian type castle, but i think the design needs more of that connection to really work on another level for me. 4 for the wonderful visualization though! |
|
FRICKINAWESOME on May 19 '10 Oh, and the Bride's hair as Marge's beehive is pretty funny too.
|
|
FRICKINAWESOME on May 19 '10 psykomakia on May 17 '10
rodrigobhz on May 17 '10 I think the title explains the concept and the execution is top notch The title is not gonna be on the shirt....not talking about this design specifically, but any design that needs to rely on its title for people to get the joke or visual pun is not executing its concept well enough. |
 |
wullagaru on May 19 '10 Artists go thru phases the same way audiences do, and it's not as if he hasn't proven himself a dozen times over. If he's feeling poppy, and he is enjoying the work, who are we to party poop?
exactly if this is what he felt like doing then so be it personally I think its not bad not my favorite but not bad. I liek teh idea I just think it could have been a bit more dynamic thats all. |
 |
$5
i'd buy it :) |
 |
I'm voting 5 on the incredible execution, but I'll save my $ for your mindblowing stuff.
|

biotwist on May 19 '10 this will print

OlliRudi on May 19 '10 i can't believe that this haven't been done (in such style at least) until now, i salute you! $5

jpiatt on May 19 '10 WOW quite the debate that's broken out in here...
I don't understand how people can throw "pop culture" designs under one big blanket and basically call them all shit. That's just stupid and wrong. A tshirt design is something that either works or doesn't work...there's no great science to it. You either like it and think it's something you'd wear, or you don't like it and don't think you'd wear it. On occasion you can also think "That's really cool, but I wouldn't wear that". To each his own. Let's not try to make this into something it's not. It's a tshirt design. That being said, the artwork on this is OUTSTANDING. Absolutely mind blowing. But, I must admit I don't think the concept holds up as well. It's been done on the Simpsons as other have said. Is it supposed to be a surreal piece? is that why Homer is coming out of the smokestack? I don't really understand the layout of this, but I suppose something had to be done so it wasn't just marge and homer as frank and frank's bride....since it's already been done on the Simpsons.... So...after my giant long winded critique, I'll give this a 3. The artwork is awesome, concept, not the most "original" thing I've ever seen. Who gives a shit what I say though. It's still gonna print. Congrats Buko for getting people talking. |
 |
Well, I just don't see myself wearing this and having to tell people about "oh the concept behind this is, blah blah blah.
I think people will look at it and say: Wow, duuuude, you gotta a rad shirt! The whole "what is the concept here" is happening just because people are tired of the ammount of subs doing this.But how many of those shirts are so well executed as this one here? It was the same with the food with faces and watercolor shirts and the bafocomics shirts, it was everywhere and everyone loved them... well, forget all the bafocomics-shirts-fever, that never happened, hehehe. |
 |
shirt design is different from a painting. we design shirt to make a profit not an art. so it's commercial talk here.......
$5!!! |
 |
This made me laugh so damn hard. This is awesome
I love this 5! |
 |
DaleEdwin on May 20 '10 Holy shitballs this is awesome!!!
|
 |
I do not understand people that enter threadless to see original peaces of art. I mean really. I understand that there are very creative, artistic people here especially Buko but get real people, who would sell more t-shirts, the real Mona Lisa or Renaissance Rocks by Buko? I wouldn't like to have the original Mona Lisa in my t-shirt. Even if it was painted directly in my t-shirt by Da Vinci. Dont get me wrong, I am not comparing the talent od Da Vinci with Buko, because I am an art student too, and I value the original more than the remake. But when I want to see original art, I am visiting galleries that suite my taste.
For those who want original this is a good site: http://www.louvre.fr/llv/commun/home.jsp?bmLocale=en |
 |
nice design
|
|
dschwen on May 20 '10 I still support this shirt!
PRINT! |

great one! love how you made homer come out of the smoke and marge's hair!

I'd really wear this. Great artist. 5$

alvarejo on May 17 '10
i support this sub again I get the whole "alvarejo already did this v.s. it is an amazing design" debate. But, the fact that the man, himself, approves, I feel it to be pointless. I do agree that I wish the concept was original, which it is, sorta, but it is still one of the cooliest thing I've seen in a while. 5$ |
|
Oh, this is a "Simpsons did it" argument, then who cares? It is brilliant.
|

so good, even if the its been good...
buko defiantly took it way farther |
 |
lolz @ Real World!
this is an awesome and original concept and brilliant execution! |
 |
outline on May 22 '10 i don't know about it being an original concept but the execution and detail is very nice and classy $5
|
|
oh it's been done? i did not know this, hence my mistaken comment.
but it's still amazing! |
 |
I think buko's work worth for a 6.
|
 |
GRANDR on May 22 '10 Great work...very cool!!!
|
 |
It amazes me how controversial this design has become, just because of its excellent execution and clear talent.
Envy much? |
 |
Why are people jumping to assumptions? How do we know buko lazily stole this idea?
His execution is superb and I think the idea is pretty cool, but, there are just soo many Simpsons pop culture references to pick from the litter that I don't want a shirt with them on it unless I REALLY like it Still, high score for this one, 4 just because the execution is well done |
 |
Reallyy Amazing !!

huwoh!
