Good illustration, but it will never be printed. Trademark infringement and all that...

the Darth Vader enjoyed horticulture shirt was a little more... ambiguous. This is too blatantly Edward Scissorhands to ever go to print.

why would eddie do vader?

   Ellsswhere on Feb 10 '06
yeah... you would have to be borderline mentally retarded to think that two shirts with nearly the same images would get printed... if you just didnt know about the other shirt in print, well then nice try but im still not feeling a relationship between the two images.

vader and bush cutting already printed...
and the bush and ed just... dont mix together, who cuts a bush awkwardly like that? and they the drawing styles on the two are totally different. ftl

good art, but like staffell said, even though the ideas are different, darth + topiaries = glennz.
CuteLittleFaery
CuteLittleFaery on Feb 10 '06
The Glennz shirt aside, this one doesn't even make sense. Why would Edward shape a topiary like Darth's head? If it were a shape relevant to the film, or even any of the other Depp films, I'd consider giving this a good score, but the present juxtaposition seems completely arbitrary.

You are an idiot, shut up, you aren't a trademark lawyer, threadless have solicitors, they don't need you to point out this shit to them, especially when there are loopholes in the law to allow for tshirts like this.

So shut up and rate the god damn tshirt.

ethanjhayward on Feb 11 '06
man, i love the 'constructive criticism' this one's getting.

come on, commentors, grow up. the worst thing that could happen is that it won't get printed.

that being said, the vader head is sorta deformed. it looks sorta twisted from top to bottom.

somepoems on Feb 11 '06
Okay, are you commenters paying attention? Do you really think that another topiary Darth Vader shirt would just coincidentally appear on Threadless? This is clearly an attempt at a Glennz reference/in-joke, and not any kind of ripoff or strange coincidental design. There have been enough "look how I've assembled all of the famous Threadless characters on a single shirt" entries that you should know what the artist is trying to do here. Even the title is a reference: The Dark [Side of the Garden] is Back. For a professional example, see Lichtenstein's Still Life with Picasso: http://www.andipamodern.com/IMAGE/9953.jpg

That said, I'm not really in love with the execution of the design, clashing art styles and whatnot, and I don't think I would be so quick to buy a shirt that only other Threadless members would understand. Especially when even some of them don't get it.
lillavanilla
lillavanilla on Feb 12 '06
personally, i like this better than the dark side of the garden, and yeah its obv intentional. i would buy this, cuz ppl who dont know threadless wouldn;t think it was a ripoff and ppl who do know threadless would hopefully get the joke. also, i think its a clever tie in cuz edward does topiary in the movie, though idk if vadar is totally necessary

Wrinkle
Wrinkle on Feb 13 '06
why is everyone insulting this one? I think this tee shirt is awesome and should be printed as soon as possible! Sure the whole Eddie cutting Vader bit is odd, but hey, i wanna buy it!
yamar68
yamar68 on Feb 13 '06
I completely agree with you, Wrinkle. I would imagine that whoever made this t-shirt saw the other vader shirt and was like "Oh c'mon, this could be so much better"... and you know what? They were right.

And seriously guys... it has EDWARD SCISSORHANDS ON IT!!!

WiggidyWack on Feb 13 '06
Vaders Head seems weird to me. Twisty or something? And I think Ed should be more into the trimming, mabey even using both scissor-hands?

"why do all the college freshmen like to tout their faux law credentials?"

why do all the college dropouts refuse to do original work?

"So shut up and rate the god damn tshirt."

okay- it's stupid.
it makes no sense for Ed to be cutting a Vader mask, to the 99.999999999% of the world who hasn't seen the other Vader shrub shirt.

I'd love to get this for my boyfriend! Please print!

The vader shrub doesn't actually look like a shrub; it looks like a green vader head drawn with fuzzy lines. Maybe you should try drawing a shrub shaped like vader rather than a grassy vader head. Sorry to bring up the Dark Side of the Garden again, but the death star in that design looked like it had little leaves. The clippings look more like grass than shrubbery. I'd also like to see Edward working instead of posing. He got very intense while he was working in the actual movie, but this guy isn't even looking at what he's cutting.
