i dont know what those are but i like it anyway, maybe not on red.

vicki2314 on May 29 '05

is it silly putty?

Kevin Barrack on May 29 '05

Great concept. I don't think this design is communicating it though.

MDepot on May 29 '05

these retro toy shirts need to stop...

MAYBE IF IT WAS GREEN . MAYBE

i really didn't get that it was silly putty until i read the comments... i wish i had more helpful suggestions, but this design just doesnt seem very clear to me

Yay silly putty.

Just the other day I was sitting in my AP History Class, making George Washington out of silly putty.

I lerve silly putty.

Like the silly putty, not the colors.

archaicsmile on May 30 '05

it's too hard to tell what it is

sassmuffin on May 30 '05

wow, i had NO idea what this was until people wrote 'silly putty'
it looks like fake boobs and a blob of silicone or something...

That's great

at first i thought it was an open nut shell with the nut having melted out. then i figured out it was silly putty. i think it needs to be a little more obvious what we're looking at.

jadis23 on Jun 01 '05

btw, so a suggestion to make it more obvious is if the putty has been shaped into something already (or is in the process of being shaped).

bortwein on Jun 01 '05

I have been toying with the idea of putting the design on a different color shirt, adding a 4th color to the print for the egg case, and adding a newspaper transfer image onto the putty... but that's just an idea so far.

theOtherSideOfPink on Jun 01 '05

i thought it was 2 potatoes and spilled glue at first. sorry.

fifty50 on Jun 02 '05

try adding more shape to the silly putty, cause right now it looks like an old rag just sitting there. nice idea, just incomplete.

PoliceJon,PoliceRed on Jun 02 '05

i had no idea it was silly putty. i think it is the dots. the egg looked like a strainer

3x1minus1 on Jun 02 '05

i thought it was toast & footballs

jazzy_jay on Jun 02 '05

poor choice of color and unclear design

bortwein on Jun 03 '05

Ouch! Thanks for that one Jazzy... like I wasn't getting that idea from the other 19 comments. Oh and thanks for joining on the same day you drop a comment out like that, real nice of you.

themutantchair on Jun 04 '05

I like it, probably wouldn't buy it without a little improvement but i give it a 4.

AlecGrieco on Jun 04 '05

My kinda shirt. You have to figure out what it is first. Dont know why... but I like it.

Copperwire on Jun 04 '05

I thought it was two avocado halves and a piece of cheese.

Nestahope on Jun 04 '05

Agree with AlecCrieco,
Is this suppossed to be, "the come right out and tell us convention?"
I'm hearing some serious hypercriticality!
Which means the art has worked.
Art for arts sake, that is to say, art at the end of the day...

I thought it was two breast implants with the stuff leaking out.

bortwein on Jun 06 '05

Wow, 1.62 from 1052 scores this barely stayed above the cut off.
