Here we go guys, my second submission. I hope the joke is easy to spot; as a lot of people i asked didn't seem to even know of easter island, let alone it's famous statues.....

Do you like the text? Or should it be scrapped?

Also looks good on other (dark) colours, although black seems to be best as the very nature of the design incorporates shadows...

Thanks! DavidJ

mikelietz on Sep 13 '05

Doesn't really need the text.

Well done!

timbosta on Sep 13 '05

Nice one! Keep 'em coming. Really like the colour choices.

brendoo on Sep 13 '05

like it a lot!

This should be a winning design. Visually it works, plus the idea's good fun. Blao!

blenderbox88 on Sep 13 '05

Yes, very nice. The only problem I see is the gun, I don't have a problem with it, but Threadless might. Good luck, and very nice man. $5

toordefours on Sep 13 '05

What's up with the gun?

toordefours on Sep 13 '05

I mean whats wrong with the gun....? haha

Hoborg on Sep 13 '05

YES! fucking sweet, dogg!

Lose the text, though. The image is enough to understand the shirt and thats a horrible pun. =D
Also, GET RID OF THAT HORIZONTAL LINE AAAH! even if you keep the text, get rid of that line, its useless.

SemantiTheft on Sep 13 '05

I think it's funny that threadless could have a problem with that gun, what with the multitude of suicide designs, such as Flowers in the Attic.
Anyway, clever design, but not something I'd personally wear. Good effort.

ryanthemadone on Sep 13 '05

Cool,

I've been through a lot of designs recently and this is one of the sharpest so far man.

It's polished and I especially like da gun!

I guess I get the design without the writing but I know people casually glancing might need a little nudge in the old brain tank!

Will be watching your work closely.

Ry.

amandine on Sep 13 '05

I liiike- aren't you over your color limit though?

I agree that the horizontal line isn't necessary, but I'm undecided over the text...

BentoBox on Sep 13 '05

deff. funny... could do without the pot leaf though....
-
that gun is really well done... great job on the perspective...
--
i like the text... but maybe different placement... like lower right hand corner or somethin.. dont know.. but i like this

staffell on Sep 13 '05

Ok, firstly with the text. I felt it was necessary because without it, the gangster statues wouldn't actually mean anything. I guess It could have just been used in the title though :)
As for the colours, I used grey, red, white and green. Any black is part of the background (tshirt) colour. DJ

blkstim on Sep 13 '05

HAHAHa, i love this shirt

bclever on Sep 13 '05

perfect. just loose the text and the rule line. Sometimes people just need to think harder. That's not your fault.

sweet tits

Jus A Rascal on Sep 13 '05

Sweet design g-unit, I think the black looks and best and I would definitely keep the writing, the font completes the picture.

argh on Sep 13 '05

i think it's great, line and text included.

excellent idea.

uhoh_planecrash on Sep 14 '05

i LOVE this shirt

dont change a thing

gangstuhhXcore fa sho

:]

love.LOVE.love.JESSICA

staffell on Sep 14 '05

Ok, something's wrong with threadless. Scores aren't registering on any shirt. GRRR

label on Sep 14 '05

Hahahah funny, but I would loose the text. Or maybe make it small and put it in the back of the tee.

bluehalios on Sep 14 '05

hillarios, but also awefully intelectual.

dont know if peope would get it.

bluehalios on Sep 14 '05

oh and i agree with label

put it on the back and have it say

EASTer SIDEland

where upper case is white and lower case is red.

Double D Inc. on Sep 14 '05

leave it as it is its a great concept and the words are fine u dont need to change it for ppl to understand it if they dont they're retarded. nice job man

avemarie on Sep 14 '05

I don't think you need the text...i really like this!

green-means-go on Sep 14 '05

Oh my GOD people! Some times text reinforces the idea. Keep the damn text. DO NOT TAKE THE TEXT OUT. DO NOT PUT IT ON BACK. The average person will not get it without the text, and the whole point is lost. Text is not our enemy!

P.S. $5.

jaymoh on Sep 14 '05

no text.

vwfreek on Sep 14 '05

Leave the text, lose the gun and the horizontal line. Neither match the style. Good job.

Mac_Pappy on Sep 14 '05

take away a little bit of the detail on the stuff added, like the gun
otherwise, very funny

Itsmeok on Sep 14 '05

Threadless better print this or I quit

silenceisuseful on Sep 14 '05

i like the joke its funny. well done ! ^_^

monkeyman66 on Sep 15 '05

Well done, keep the text, otherwise some may not get it.

Short Horns on Sep 15 '05

Gun kinda balances out the white hat on top... leave it.

Text... yeah, so you have the choice of walking around in a shirt that people are going to go "WTF? This kid thinks he's a home boy now?" or going "Hehe, yeah, I've heard of Easter Island."

The line can stay or go, it doesn't matter.

Okkle on Sep 15 '05

Not something I'd wear cos I'm not into the whole Gangster, GTA, whatever stuff.

BUT, it is a very nice design, I give it 5 :)

inflatemouse on Sep 15 '05

The head on the far right and far left are the best looking.

I would use only one head. That way people lock in and are more likely to get it.
maybe text that says "Way Ea$t $ide"

jobbie001 on Sep 15 '05

MY GOD I WANT THIS SHIRT. THREADLESS PRINT IT OR DIE. $$$5

blandford on Sep 15 '05

I don't know about the text... personally I think it's distracting from a really cool image. the gun also bugs me- it's too detailed, not the same style as the rest, and because, (not that it makes any sense to care how accurate it is!) I don't think they should have hands. LOVE the guy w/the comb in his 'fro.

staffell on Sep 15 '05

Cheers for comments guys. I didn't want to put gun/hand in, but i felt it was essential for accessory balance. DJames

themidtownkoala on Sep 16 '05

I am pro-text. You'd be getting a lot of it's-cool-but-what-does-it-means from people if you didn't, even from those people who are otherwise familiar with rap culture and anthropology.

bugger me on Sep 17 '05

love it, without the text

DJLadyPope on Sep 17 '05

I like the text. I think people are underestimating the stupidity of the general public.

Derry Farm on Sep 18 '05

I love this so deeply you don't know.

sampiggy on Sep 18 '05

Really like this design. Good stuff.

Keep the text, keep the gun. Only thing i dont like is the pot leaf tattoo-you have enough detail in there anyway without it. Colours really go well. I wud def wear this.

Nice one dude, keep up the work.

Suciu on Sep 18 '05

Wonderful! The first $5 I've given out for the past couple of hours... shh...

This shirt is brilliant and NEEDS to be printed.

Please keep the text-- people won't understand the shirt if you take it off.

HowlHowlGaffGaff on Sep 18 '05

amazing
simply brilliant
5$

Sara232 on Sep 19 '05

Wow.... this is so amazing! i would love to wear this deisgn. i especially like the choice of colours.. and the slogan is very clever! i would buy it in every colour! dont change it!! Well done cant wait to see more designs!! keep them coming
5$

(8)ball on Sep 19 '05

Great. Awesome caricatures (spelling ?) !!

Not my personal thing to wear, but a very cool print. thumbs up!

kva20 on Sep 19 '05

"i was made for this tshirt, and this tshirt was made for me, print print print or someone gets hurt" 5$

brendoo on Sep 19 '05

People should stop looking picking apart the detailed parts, and look at the image as a whole. If this tshirt were printed, others wouldn't comment in such a way; they would probably glance at the design, make the connection and just go "yeah that's funny" or something like that. They wouldn't go "oh the guns too detailed" or whatver.

Becky Duke on Sep 19 '05

Nice one Dave, another wicked design!

littlem on Sep 19 '05

funny! :)

goodncrispy on Sep 19 '05

For some reason the afro-puff doesn't do it for me. Otherwise very nice

Pacifique on Sep 19 '05

five

phones on Sep 19 '05

i think the 'gun man' head needs to be slightly more 3d to keep with the rest o the heads, but otherwise its flippin' awesome! Def buy!

Soviet Bot on Sep 19 '05

get rid of line please. but LOL.

FreddieBoy on Sep 19 '05

I want this shirt mate. I think both the text and the line are essentiall (the line mainly because it seperates the text from the artwork). Love that green on the black, and also the way the heads 'fit' together. Only thing I will say is that the hash leaf is not needed. Great; FIVE anna BUY.

staffell on Sep 19 '05

Thought I'd make it 60 for the hell of it. thanks everyone.

panic! on Sep 19 '05

You can remove the line if you'd like, but nothing else! KEEP THE TEXT!

Suciu on Sep 20 '05

Oh man... last day of scoring... pleasepleaseplease let this get printed!!!

Staff on Sep 20 '05

wicked.... best one i have seen for a while.. my hat goes off to you! good luck.... i hope it wins and gets printed i want to wear one! 5$
