Leslee on Oct 24 '05

Fantastic. Slate blue. 5$.

Drpepperdude00 on Oct 24 '05

is it supposed to be a monocle on the third guy...umm...damn I need to learn my pres

J-Ray on Oct 24 '05

It makes me think of the Mona Lisa shirt that was printed on Threadless.. too much

puma_blues on Oct 24 '05

"the third guy" lmao.
I think you mean Teddy Roosevelt.
Just so nobody else says "the first guy" or the "fourth guy" or "the dude with the mole," which will just hurt my soul deep down, let me throw this out there:
Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Lincoln.
THis has been a public service announcement.

oh, also...if you want it to look like a monacle, it should probably be round, with a little chain....it just looks like you colored in the shadow of his glasses with yellow.

pillango on Oct 24 '05

it's not a monacle, it is a patch. at least that is what it looks like to me.

adam antium on Oct 24 '05

I like it!

fastjumper on Oct 24 '05

well done eskimo!(as always)
my only doubt is about the guy(banksy):it isnt too big?i know you probably set him in that size so he can be high detailed, but i think it should work better if it was just a silhouette(in the same color of the background, cant remember if you tryed it in the blog)
anyway brilliant concept and execution;)

I LOVE BANKSY $5

Laszlito on Oct 24 '05

really love that idea, Banksy and his Rats.

redsugar on Oct 24 '05

The abseiler is ginormous. Could you maybe leave the rope, but have him sneaking away in the foreground with the can and stencils?

yourfavorite on Oct 24 '05

this is pretty friggin sweet. $5

AssemblyLineHuman on Oct 24 '05

LOL I love it, especially the first guy.

DancinMan on Oct 24 '05

Hmmmm... Can;t wait for Hannukah season. I have some good cards with a very certain German on them in this style. Anyway.. I like this alot.

su-ka-la-li on Oct 24 '05

yes, it looks like the monalisa one, but a lot better. love

Robsoul on Oct 25 '05

I would love to have him still on the rope, as is in your presentation. I don't think it's an issue that the dude is scaled way to large, it's artistic license and it's fine with me.

Robsoul on Oct 25 '05

In denim.

Capitan on Oct 25 '05

Banksy's work is mostly a stroke of genius.
But, give the man a type writer and you see he is actually a self rightous prick.

Capitan on Oct 25 '05

...Oh yeah - nice shirt ;)

The trees are a nice subtlety

eskimokiss on Oct 25 '05

I've made a few changes and added some alternative colours :

littlem on Oct 25 '05

In burgundy and blue(denim?). :)

H Magoria on Oct 25 '05

hahah...awesoeme! I really like it in green..

mvr on Oct 25 '05

thats awesome man, good job with that

pre-heated-death on Oct 25 '05

Lincoln as.... hmmmm... yeah. Ok. I like this -- though I'd never EVER wear Lincoln on a shirt.

But otherwise, I like the idea, the render, and the colors. Salute!

haitiantrackstar on Oct 25 '05

that guy banksy is bold. I remember reading about him in the newspaper six months ago. Awesome $5

kaloyster on Oct 25 '05

Monalisa-ish going on.

PickledPython on Oct 25 '05

Lol. Awesome. I live 18 miles from Mt. Rushmore, and you would not believe all the jokes one comes across. Nice idea and everything...

xenocratie on Oct 26 '05

i realy like it but i think banksy is a bit big

ARRRTxDAMAGE on Oct 26 '05

OMG I LIVE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
i need this baby.

HowlHowlGaffGaff on Oct 26 '05

i think putting the "Hitler" moustache on one of our forefathers is a little extreme

eskimokiss on Oct 27 '05

Not my forefather. And come on, it's a joke.

facetious on Oct 27 '05

I'm from Canada and I even know who all those presidents are. But I guess Canada is kinda like America's bitch... and I'm a bit of a nerd, so it's not too surprising that I know. Anyway, I agree that the shirt is pretty similar to the monalisa one, but I still think it's kinda cool.

OMFGitsEMILY on Oct 27 '05

Love.Love.Love.Love.
