goathair_3 on Jan 28 '06

That chef is fats. Which is awesome.

Whole Grains on Jan 28 '06

i'm not a fan of the outline-style, but the illustration is quite good

Vickii on Jan 28 '06

you are so mean

Mr. Monkey on Jan 28 '06

This is the sjit man!!!

5!

stingerstyler on Jan 28 '06

I love it man. It's great. You draw great faces man, I'm impressed!

Robsoul on Jan 28 '06

that's a buy. It may even look good on natural or even light gray

Robsoul on Jan 28 '06

orange meat please

funkie fresh on Jan 28 '06

AWESOME

BuriedAlive on Jan 28 '06

Woot

:D

coexist on Jan 28 '06

I love this. I like the orange instead of the pink, but I like how there are splatters of mermaid blood on the pink one.

lankytom on Jan 28 '06

I am simultaneously amazed and horrified.

(NICE illustration)

And now I have a strange craving for sushi.

rhymeswithpurple on Jan 28 '06

I like the illistration... I agree with coexist about the blood

phones on Jan 28 '06

awesome and then some. i agree with rhymeswithpurple

jesusinameshhat on Jan 28 '06

You know, I really hate this only because I have been in love with Ariel from The Little Mermaid ever since I can remember...

You monster.

skipcronin on Jan 28 '06

LOVE IT - definitely go with the orange/salmon color for her meat.

bramble on Jan 28 '06

Natural in your profile looks mighty lovely :)

scoutti on Jan 28 '06

i would love any colour meat on any colour shirt because it's good like that. oh yeah.

artie on Jan 28 '06

more colors maybe? on a different color shirt?
but 5 anyways just cuz its so great.

Robsoul on Jan 28 '06

oh yes and with the blue inked lines, orange on natural

JOHN2 on Jan 28 '06

Yep, now that I look at it white probably isn't the best choice, natural would've been a better selection. If the light fatty part of the meat was the shirt color I would've had a whole other color to play with.

catdogpigduck on Jan 28 '06

i like your style alot, i would love to see this with you going nuts with 4 colors

Monkies on Jan 28 '06

god, that made me cry. happy tears, eh? ^^ <3333333. it's awesome; great idea. $5

Pico on Jan 28 '06

Awesome; I like the versions with the blue outlines :o]

rememberjanuary on Jan 28 '06

...this is why I'm vegetarian.

Anyways, aside from the horrific feeling that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, great job!

quintessence on Jan 28 '06

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

jett on Jan 28 '06

you already know i love it.

i prefer the orange innards!

mythidiot on Jan 28 '06

awesome. Needs more color and a bigger knife... but awesome. do you think mermaid tastes like chicken?

k-po on Jan 28 '06

hah on the smaller one hes covered with blood, thats so gross. Well guess what i'm not having for a while. Give up? well its seafood

helo on Jan 28 '06

the chef's facial hair is hilarious!

the design on your profile with the
orange meat, pink blood everywhere,
the white apron-hat-cleaver, and
the natural shirt color is the best
in my opinion.

I agree with mythidiot about the cleaver
needing to be very big so each slam
would really make it through the
width of the mermaid.

Your ability to illustrate the folds
of skin/fur on a body is top notch.

Ava Adore on Jan 28 '06

very nicel done esign, clean!

Meralis on Jan 28 '06

oh that is just so funny to me. I can't decide which coloring I like better.
I'd love this on a tan shirt.

WallsReallyWork on Jan 28 '06

john, have my babies. i love all your stuff, its amazing the amount of respect youve recieved after only three subs, theyre all so amazing

clayhas on Jan 28 '06

"Woohoo...Hmmm, LOVE TUNA...ohhhh yeah, TUNA MOONA PUNA TUNA eat Da ToooNA! " (deep brooklyn voice)

Pontoon on Jan 29 '06

even though i like Warsslin' a hell of a lot better
i really really like your drawing style and would buy it just for that.
4$

tomburns on Jan 29 '06

needs mo color, but the illustration is GREAT i still give it a 5

stickymike on Jan 29 '06

John, this is too good, TOO GOOD

eoin3 on Jan 29 '06

I dunno man...I think it almost crosses a line, ya know? not a criticizm...people seem to like it but It leaves me a little oogy.

DrawingEvils on Jan 29 '06

yeah, finally John! but more color please! no white color shirt please!
and I like the one with blood. but still 5 cuz I like all your works.

Solari on Jan 29 '06

I never realized I liked mermaids so much until I saw this... sad and mean!

Sempaï_Mike on Jan 29 '06

OHOH fantastic !

whylime on Jan 29 '06

I made this design my computer background when you first posted it in the blog, so I've been looking at the black and white line drawing for a while now, so I'm a little sad that the submission isnt packed full of color.
Well its still a 5 from me, because the drawing knocks my socks off, but I wont buy it unless its printed with colors

landosamorm on Jan 29 '06

The characters are perfect. I really like the style. $5.

I think more color should be considered.

yellowman on Jan 29 '06

REALLY NICE, like that you pulled it off with minimal color!

ROOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR.... 5

yellowman on Jan 29 '06

oh and a $

She Says So on Jan 29 '06

would but this in the yellow meat version.

Colonel Sanders on Jan 29 '06

Great concept! I am a mermeid lover... this is awesome!

jublin on Jan 29 '06

bazooka or no bazooka. this is awesome. i actually already mass produced it myself so i don't really care of threadless chooses to print it.

but i'll give it a 5 and $ just for the hell of it.

bad_nobe on Jan 29 '06

hellodisko on Jan 29 '06

hahahhahahha

Stevethegreat on Jan 29 '06

that's nice and awful
5$

Ellsswhere on Jan 29 '06

no scales, natural shirt, with pink blood, orange cutlets and chefs white shirt... get some color in there my man.

wullagaru on Jan 29 '06

I love his fat little arms w/no wrists .. this is my fav of your stuff so far

softserveanalogy on Jan 29 '06

That's brillllliant and horrible.

I was just telling a friend how I hate the Little Mermaid.

Jennyfurrr03 on Jan 29 '06

I think I like the pinkish color better than the gold. I mean it's not screaming red and stuff...so that makes it better. :]

Blexxemen on Jan 30 '06

fish are one of my favorite subject..excellent idea & execution John2 ...you got my $5!!!

cambert on Jan 30 '06

Genius. Pink with splatters please (and I NEVER thought I'd type those words on this site :-)

DeadPoetic_Underoath on Jan 30 '06

O.O ...5$

ekaj47 on Jan 30 '06

Kick ass

Benjy on Jan 30 '06

super cool!, bit sick..but cool

Peppler on Jan 30 '06

really cool, I'm not sure but maybe a little more color?

M. Rogers on Jan 30 '06

you guys seem to harbor violent fantasies of amputation/dissection: lots of Ts here feature the "slicing off" theme. projecting castration anxiety to nullify it?

PS: this is well drawn.

delihound on Jan 30 '06

i love it, but i think i prefer the blue outline.

Pukagurl on Jan 30 '06

pooooor mermaid

dmenkes on Jan 30 '06

I *LOVE* this! 5$ (orange version, no splat)

millhaven on Jan 30 '06

Holy crap, this is wonderful! I'd wear this every day. [ok, maybe not *every* day...] brilliant design. i love the crab in her hair.

knittykitty on Jan 30 '06

I will re-iterate what Pukaurl said, "pooooor mermaid"!!!!!

Mintkarla on Jan 30 '06

Really, really, really nice. I think the blood's pretty essential. Oh---and any other design but white wouldn't seem to work. But it's a pity.

scoutti on Jan 30 '06

i wanna comment again - $5
this shirt needs more support than it already has

acidicfizz on Jan 30 '06

even though i love mermaids, i think i love this shirt more.
awesome.

easytochris on Jan 30 '06

$5

mermaids taste like chicken.

but chicken doesn't tast like mermaid.

i dont' understand how that works

derelix408 on Jan 30 '06

Great illustration, but what's with her hand? Did it get caught in the fishing net and mangled?

onaros on Jan 31 '06

great illustration , seems to work with or without the splatters to me. I'dwear it

AnkaraStark on Jan 31 '06

That is so wrong!

... So why can't I stop laughing? lol

im_not_jane on Jan 31 '06

I had a dream just like this. I was the mermaid. it was a creepy dream.

but i love this shirt.

how wrong is that?

zevkailexxya on Jan 31 '06

Cool! Just the thing i need to offend the masses, and laugh myself silly.

asher27 on Jan 31 '06

its good but it makes my brain hurt.
4.

vc1188 on Jan 31 '06

So eww but so awesome. you somehow make the mermaid sashimi look delicious. 5!

FinalRegret on Jan 31 '06

O_____O;

it's a great shirt but still...

O____O;;

Unicornsareawesomex on Feb 01 '06

It made me laugh for abit but then I thought oh no. lol.
I dunno. I might wear it but I don't like white tops =(
I'd say 4
x

hadaloo on Feb 01 '06

Haha, it's funny, but ahh. Poor mermaid.

It reminds me of that chef from the Little mermaid, and his little song about eating crabs.

Yeah.

JOHN2 on Feb 01 '06

^^haha exactly! "le poisson, le poisson how I looove le poisson"

max031383 on Feb 01 '06

The scene in "The Little Mermaid" when the French chef tries to cook Sebastian is disturbing, and so is this shirt. Yuck.

kevinwells on Feb 01 '06

ah yes, i remember this. did you make his left hand a little bit more obviously a hand since the last time i saw this, or is that just my imagination. i really wish the zoomed version had the blood splatter.

i totally love this design, and i really hope they print it. i love your style, so keep submitting more awesomeness!

Foxarts on Feb 02 '06

5, sure :)

Claidi on Feb 02 '06

Oh man, I think I am in love. 5 $

Tinsel_Shine on Feb 02 '06

I like the last colour option on your profile (so natural shirt, black lines, orange meat, pink splatter and white chef hat). I'm kinda liking this design more the longer I look at it. It's freaking me out that I'm not more disturbed by it.

0311 on Feb 02 '06

definitly has that shock factor and looks awesome, i waaaaaaant it $5 $5 $5

i carnt spel on Feb 02 '06

Consider mucking around with coulours and details as this seems to be where your submissions are lacking. If this was couloured better (I dont mind the minimal use of lines if they were more expressive and detailed) i would be singing your praises because i Love the drawing and the idea... but the overall image seems lacking...

Gaylee on Feb 02 '06

So... creeped.... out....
Noooo... no, no, no.

kingoftokelau on Feb 02 '06

HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe some color? I wouldn't personally wear it, but $5 for the idea, design, and illustration.

.gingerkitty on Feb 02 '06

$5 but only with a little more colour. The orange meat with pink blood splatters works.
I would buy this in a second if you also coloured the starfish and crab, like on yer blog.

Other than that, absolutely brilliant!

.gingerkitty on Feb 02 '06

Sorry, I meant profile, not blog! My bad.

stickymike on Feb 03 '06

GO GO GO

good to see this ones getting the attention is deserves

ptv on Feb 03 '06

dillieday on Feb 03 '06

this is HORRIBLE!

carolthesecond on Feb 03 '06

Slightly disturbing, but I like it.

Orange meat, some sort of splatter on the chef, and colored in hair ornaments. I don't know how much I like it on yellow. Natural works best, I think.
