Hahaha, Franx, you are awesome.

Firinel on Feb 24 '06

blech. it would be better if you'd done the hands in ASL.

Sirkit on Feb 24 '06

If your going to say something with hands use ASL, this is terrible otherwise.

JustJeff on Feb 24 '06

ASL? But... this is "the hard way." As an added bonus, anyyone can understand it.

Robsoul on Feb 24 '06

why would he want to use ASL, thaT'S NOT the fucking point of the design ,,, I swear this place never ceases to amaze me... wtf,,,, give it a rest ppl

Jennyfurrr03 on Feb 24 '06

ASL? whatever. Nice design, franx. Not too sure I like the hairy arms.

Monkey II on Feb 24 '06

Sorry for ma stupidity...What is ASL?
This shirt rocks!

mezo on Feb 24 '06

ASL is american sign language, which includes easy hand-shapes for the alphabet. I believe it was not used in this design to add meaning to "the hard way" :)

Little Liana on Feb 24 '06

And yes... this shirt rocks. $5

hogboy on Feb 24 '06

man hands...fucking oddball but in a good way. I loves it.

Kelseyg on Feb 24 '06

Seriously... anyawy who says use "ASL"... is just... *bangs head on wall*

kirstenlovesdinner on Feb 24 '06

i don't like the way the text looks.

onlylonely on Feb 24 '06

on the ASL topic, i'm a little torn, because of this:
the 'f' is very similar to an ASL 'x', which confused me at first. i agree ASL is clearly not the right idea here... but maybe a way to do the 'f' that couldn't be confused with ASL?

jublin on Feb 24 '06

oh your totally sneaking up here with this bad boy. i love it. i would totally wear this shirt in front up my parents after they try and ground me for buying it. 5$

plans on Feb 24 '06

graysong on Feb 26 '06

It kind of looks like gnarled hands are reaching up to strangle you...

... which I kind of like.

Don't mind the hairy arms, but I don't care for the "The Hard Way" text. Without the text I might buy it.

Sirkit on Feb 26 '06

I get that it's the hard way, but all that's there is 'XC' otherwise. If you had wanted to do something with hands either use the accepted North American language or use hand shapes that aren't used in that language. As it stands the message is lost because of the precedence of a previous language.

It's like saying 'fuck' means 'dog' but we all know it means fuck because we all have the precedence of the English language. Same thing goes with hand shapes.

I'd buy the shirt if the artist put some effort into using original hand shapes that weren't confusing. I think the idea is great.

cocoon_of_monarchy on Feb 26 '06

does it say FU?

stingerstyler on Feb 27 '06

Nice work Franx :)

CourtneyTheRockStar on Feb 27 '06

People are making this shirt too complicated. It's a great idea, and if you aren't trying to read too much into it, I think you'll understand that he's spell F U with his hands. How many people know sign language, really? The shirt is great, leave it be! <3

kidderliverpool on Feb 27 '06

Ah ok, I get it now, the 'F' and 'U' need to be more clearly defined, as I didn't seem them as letter forms right away. I like the illustration and concept though.

kidderliverpool on Feb 27 '06

*see not seem

4this on Feb 27 '06

ha!

Rachel Raygun on Feb 28 '06

good lord i love this

trixi on Feb 28 '06

Melissalev420 on Mar 01 '06

It might be because I haven't slept or because I didn't read the name.. but I didn't get this for a few seconds.. now that I get it, I like it. $5

OlliRudi on Mar 01 '06

hairy hands=good.

CoveredinPunksBlood on Mar 01 '06

It's nice to see someone with a little wit on this site, though I wish the letter weren't being performed by Chewbaca.

problematic on Mar 02 '06

I really didn't notice what the hands were doing at first. Which is fine, because once you're told it's unmistakable.
I think the text could be made a little smaller, though. Blend with the design more. It detracts from the main image.
