Can't really get a good look at this.

yeah, sorry. it might give you a seizure. but if you just copy and paste it into something, you can look at the shirt part of it.

oh yeah, and this was inspired by hellogoodbye. so i'm not taking full credit for the avocado idea. but i did hand draw this.

i'd like it, if it weren't a complete ripoff of hellogoodbye, atleast change the placement of the words

okay, i'm so sick of getting negative, non-constructive critisism from people who have never even had a design go through.

1) this is not a COMPLETE rip off of hellogoodbye.

2) this was had drawn, re-edited, original colors, and all.

3) i put hard work into all of my designs and have complete respect for other artists. i would never take an exact design and claim it for my own. so stop saying that i did.

4) hellogoodbye does not own avocadoes.

5) get an f-ing life. make at least one design that gets higher than a 1.5 and then come and tell me how much mine all suck.

okay?

Dude... I think this shirt is awesome. Hellogoodbye aside, avocodos really do equal happiness.

I love this except for the fact that the font of the "happiness" looks like one of the 15 basic ones that come with Windows or whatever. Something less recognizable would be lovely. And I have no idea what this band is that everyone's talking about. For me, avocados really do just equal happiness, and that's why I'd buy this shirt.

I'm not sure if an avocado = happiness but guacamole does!

DON'T BE A RIPOFF seems pretty constructive. 'I didn't know who hellogoodbye was until I read the comments. So I looked it up... and well, they have an avocado t-shirt that looks just like yours.

I'm thinking their shirt came first... and you saw it... and basically copied (yeah ok, you added a whole avocado on front of it... wow, original)... even tried to match the typeface but was too lazy to get it right (maybe you got it right, I can't see the hellogoodbye shirt too well but I'm guessing you're lazy)... you even copied the placement of the word.

I'm surprised you went through the trouble of choosing the word "Happiness," instead of keeping "Hellogoodbye," on it.

There's inspiration, and there's emulation. They are not one and the same.

Stuck w/ Pins, awesome job! i'm not a huge fan of avacadoes but i'll give you a 5 for just putting up w/ these jerks who keep on giving you crap! what do they know anyway... nice ORIGINAL work.
stuck with pins
   stuck with pins on Jun 01 '05
why is everyone so convinced that hellogoodbye OWNS the image of avocadoes? i guess every ranch that grows avocadoes and has an avocado logo is ripping off hellogoodbye.

hellogoodbye are cool guys and i think they'd be pretty disapointed with their fans bashing someone who was inspired by them. hmm.. think of it that way.

and thanks, theOtherSideOfPink, and everyone else who has a life.

i thought it was cute and didn't know anything about that band.

ELMOnster on Jun 01 '05
honestly, i dont really know what to make of this.

okay, hellogoodbye are great. the font is too standard. the avocadoes are nice and the like but it looks an aweful lot like the real shirt from the band. yes another avocado in the background i know and blahblahblah but still, it's too close to the original, on the borderline of very very iffy. i think it lacks creativity. the picture is nice, but, i'm sure you could have tried to come up with an odder fruit, like a guava, that is not owned by an electronica band.

visit you at baskin robbins all the time

and so you know that i am yours

and you are mine



... so if someone draws ice cream in a carton with a pink lid on a shirt they would be ripping off of hellogoodbye?

hmm

i dont know



but i like this

If you have to sit here and defend your design then it's not original. It's not creative. Stop trying.

This reminds me of the cover of the Velvet Underground's Andy Warhol album, only with avacados, not bananas.

   stuck with pins on Jun 03 '05
okay, i'm going to stop defending this. because personally, i don't even really like it myself.

but i don't think anyone should say that it isn't original. i haven't seen a single avocado on threadless. maybe if i made it a ROBOT avocado it would be "original", wouldn't it?

I really like the shirt (as I do love avocados) but it is really, really similar to the band shirt (and not just because of the image). I wouldnt mind wearing it though, if only because it had an avocado on it, hehe.

who the fuck is hellogoodbye? and no, they dont own my avacadoes.

i dont even like the shirt.

but i really love avacadoes.

Personally, I like the shirt and am giving it a 5$, but it would've been that much cooler if you'd parodied hellogoodbye by using a different fruit. Oranges, kiwi, lemons, etc...

if you submitted this in some school class you'd likely get kicked out.

plagiarism is plagiarism dude. i liked your robot comment though, you could try it with like a tank rolling over the avocado, or like a japanese style avocado, or maybe have a some blood dripping form the avocado. or all three. and write happiness in hebrew. yeah.

It's obvious you sat down and TRIED to copy the style of the hellogoodbye drawing and so on and so on. It's just so obvious. I don't know why you even bother defending yourself with this 'they don't OWN avacados' garbage...



At first though before I knew that you were an ass, I was like "Oh, this is a perfect shirt for my friend".

But no.

You ass.

What I think is really hilarious is that stuckwithpins actually said, way up at the top of the comments "oh yeah, and this was inspired by hellogoodbye. so i'm not taking full credit for the avocado idea." So, clearly, it looking like the band shirt WAS THE POINT, PEOPLE. Yes, clearly stuckwithpins "sat down and TRIED to copy the style of the hellogoodbye drawing". Duh!



I love this shirt



Avocados definitely equal happiness in my world. I'd make you some killer guacamole if i could, stuckwithpins. ;)

I don't know if I should be defending this shirt or not, because Stuck with Pins DID say MY shirt was an Alex Perdee rip off, but I’m not going to hold it against her because I drew it like that on purpose. but something as trivial as an avocado?! you guys cant seriously think that every one who draws an avocado is ripping off hellogoodbye. you all need to get a life. it’s a t-shirt. its an avocado, who ever says this is unoriginal I will personally go through all your submissions and grade your originality.





i'm not a fan of the shirt, but i think people should get a clue before they start shouting rip off.
