it's hard to think you did this referring to your other designs...but if you did, bad placement.

i love bums, really do. i think you should play around with other positions for bums and other locations, street corners under bridges. the problem with this one is the top of pole. could make it a lampost . if the image was moved down, would be better design. also differnt slogans on signs. good job, good idea

i'm just glad you guys could tell it's apole, i was a little worried about that when i made it

I think it's a cool idea, and a good picture, but it looks like it'd be better off to the left.

chimbleysweep on Mar 03 '05
it doesnt resemble the style you've done in your previous submissions...thats not a bad thing though. i like it..i just think the placement should be off center somewhere.
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 03 '05
i don't really like off-center designs

i'm more of a right in the center guy

is the meaning of design to communicate a well designed peice of work for the buyer, or do what you want because you like it.
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 03 '05
umm...i don't understand the question. Are you asking if the reason i designed this shirt was because i like it, or i thought that everyone on threadless would like it?

if that's the question, i made it because i thought it would be funny(i like it) . I also thought and hoped that since i like it, poeple on threadless would also like it.

I think there's a lack of shirts that are made to not be way hardcore and serious. Too many people try to be deep, but all they do is draw a heart bleeding. I think people need to not be so worried about being hardcore and just get a shirt that's kind of funny.

Well i think this shirt is sweet. i would totally like it, but i agree with haveing the pole be a lamp post or somthing
The Domo
The Domo on Mar 04 '05
Yeah, it is hard to believe you made this looking at your other stuff... but eh, whatever. I like it a lot. I'd buy it.

really nice
goatcow
goatcow on Mar 04 '05
i think i would like it more if it just said "will work", but i'd still buy it either way
kiernan
kiernan on Mar 04 '05
Good concept, good slogan, might be better with a full lamp post or dumpster instead of half a pole.
Also placed a little bit more to the left would be better I think.

Like the color and graphic.....except top of pole....4

Being from San Francisco, I would never wear this.

why is everyone saying it's hard to believe i made this? what do you mean, why is that hard to believe?

5... would be better if he were wearing some Nike's... :-p
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 05 '05
i've never seen a bum that could afford nike's. would suggest that they be stolen nike's, perhaps?
theevil
theevil on Mar 05 '05
Not as gay as your other shirts... but still gay. This shirt makes it look like you might actually be able to draw, that's why it's hard to believe you did it.
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 05 '05
theevil, are you just mad that i was pointing out how crappy your submissions are? i'm not saying mine are gold or anything, but wow...
slugo

who says it's a bum. I love it. A+ quality.
theevil
theevil on Mar 05 '05
No, I actually gave your submissions a 0 before I knew who you were. Just don't like your stuff. Think it sucks. And by reading other peoples comments...I'm not the only one. I don't care if anyone likes my submissions. They were actually done to see just exactly how people would react. I probably spent a combined effort of maybe 15 mins on all three of them. I personally think all three of mine suck. I would never wear them. But their are people out there that like that sort of stuff, and my humor tends to bend that way. I just like reading peoples comments... my favorit ones are on the Sprerm Whale... damb people are fun when they get a glimps of a fake Whale dork. But no, I 'm not retaliating... I'm just think you should stick to boarding, or at least take some classes in art and design.

wait...that's a pole? i thought he slid down the side of a wall, and left a streak.

and what's funny about a bum?
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 05 '05
that's exactly what one of my friends said about the pole. I maybe should have just left it out.

...and what's not funny about a bum?
Jaycee
Jaycee on Mar 05 '05
i thought it was a streak also, but i like the design. i'm just not sure about what it says on the paper, maybe something else would have been better. not that i can think of alternatives :P /4
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 06 '05
i just didn't want to have it say like 'will work for food', i wanted it to have something that would probably never actually be on a sign a bum writes. i thought it would be kind of funny but if anyone has any suggestions then feel free.
normandie
normandie on Mar 06 '05
When I first saw this, I thought it was just a sad shirt, but now that I've re-read the sign I think it's disgusting that you're making fun of the homeless.
Very insensitive.
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 06 '05
how is that insensitive, he's just saying he wants a job. give the guy a break.
Kb1kitty
Kb1kitty on Mar 06 '05
i actually do like this shirt...and i dont think its insensitive...personally i would rather have this on my shirt tha someone with a gun to their head...thats just my opinion...and i like the pole...it seems like something that you would see on threadless too...a lot more than some of the other shirts
jmonkey
jmonkey on Mar 07 '05
i hate to say it but i actually like this one...
i dont find it funny or insensitive - i think it's clever [even if it was intended to be a dumb joke] - the dudes face could use a little work
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 07 '05
i agree with kb1kitty, i also don't think it's insensitive and i like it because nothing is bleeding
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 07 '05
well, i appreciate you telling me what you think regardless of the fact that you hate me. i didn't really know what to do with the face, i've never really been that good at drawing them, but i'll work on it.

t-bird on Mar 07 '05
well vlcmston, i think its the best shirt ever made i think you should get an award on mtv for it. Keep up the good work. t-bird.
t-bird
t-bird on Mar 07 '05
hi vlcmston, its me again, im hoping you will win so you can give me a free t-shirt or seven.

The economy is so bad these days...
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 07 '05
i'm not going to disagree that the ecomomy is bad these days, but that was really random. what made you think about the economy?
HoffaTheToasterDog
HoffaTheToasterDog on Mar 07 '05
The pole... it is brighter than the bum, you look at it before anything else, and without a top it looks like a streak, not a pole. I would suggest you either scale down the image and complete the pole and making it recede into the background a bit more with some shading. OR ditch it, and just have the bum. - 1 point for the pole, but otherwise I likey.
vlcmston
vlcmston on Mar 07 '05
yeah, i probably will end up submitting it again without the pole. that was just a bad idea from the beginning to put it in.
thanks
