i dont like the hairy hands

Robsoul

I do like the hairy hands. I dig it a lot man, didn't see it before and I think it's really interesting

streetwise

clever man. how'd you ever figure that out?! 5$

scoutti

>:-)))

Skipper6745

Hahaha, Franx, you are awesome.

Firinel

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

Sirkit

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

JustJeff

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

Robsoul

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

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

Monkey II

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

mezo

Hairy arms are ace!
Not too keen on the handwriting....but it works well with the image.

Rock Deputy

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

And yes... this shirt rocks. $5

hogboy

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

Kelseyg

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

onlylonely

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

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

nurrekcuf

graysong

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

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.

CourtneyTheRockStar

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

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.

4this

ha!

trixi

great but im not sure about the hair :)

Melissalev420

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

hairy hands=good.

CoveredinPunksBlood

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

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.

piaaaac

I first thought it was about left-hand photographers..
