 |

Monkey II on Feb 24 '06 The Rock holdin'it down for the barnacles!

mezo on Feb 24 '06 That whale is a treasure of an illustration! I also like the throwback to the 80's sort of circular layout. Not sure I'd wear it...seems a touch too spot-illustration/cartoony...but it IS good.
|
|
Love it!
The whale makes me smile! It made my kid laugh out loud! It's so cute, it may enable the wearer themselves to be cute as well. solid 5! |
 |
adorable. you can't not smile when you see that whale
|

Rock Deputy on Feb 24 '06 hee hee... a little trivia for you > Barnicles have the largest sex organ to body ratio in the world.. 60% of their bodies are made for humpin'!
$5 |

Rockslide on Feb 24 '06 Why thank you Rock Deputy, I was not aware of that, haha. Thanks everyone for the nice start on this! I know its pretty cutesy for threadless, but with some of the recent prints I thought I could sneak a little cuteness in. Most of my professional work is for children's markets so I actually do happy stuff most of my day.
|
 |
I really like the idea, but I don't like how it's illustrated in such a 'cutesy wutesy' way. I would have prefered a realistic whale. but that's just me. good luck. :) 3.

hogboy on Feb 24 '06 Cute... Thank christ I didn't enter my "Whales Are The Cockroaches of The Sea" sub, people just don't seem to get whaling jokes.... anyway, good work as always.

Adorable
|
 |
I've always been a supporter of the Barnacle 5
|
 |
The whale's really cute. :] $5
|
 |
this makes me sooo happy! that whale is the cutest!
|
 |
I love his teeth. This is amazing.
|
|
hahah definitely would buy this for a friend of mine! $5
|
 |
aww that guy is so cute I just want to go out and give the world a hug!
|
|
Lose the text...the whale itself is a $5!!
|
 |
I like the idea, but I don't think the whale is the best design.
maybe a cartoon barnacle? |
|
Rockslide on Feb 25 '06 haha. Speechless, that was the whole point, that it be a whale instead of a barnacle. You see the whale and "save the-" and expect it to be save the whales, but its not, its save the barnacles. It would really destroy the whole concept to be a cartoon barnacle.
|
 |
ahahaha i love this~!
|
 |
I love this so much but that's because i used to pick my nose all the time when i was a kid and instead of calling them bogies my nan would call them barnacles and this reminds me of that and the whale is dead cute 2. 5$
|
 |
this shirt makes me smile a great big whopper 10000000 watt smile every time i see it
i want it $5 |
 |
What's with all the whale submiss? Hm...? Oh well, I love this one.
|
 |
This is really cute!!! IT would make a great submission even if there wasn't a joy of text contest! nice job!
|
 |
Cute shirt.
|
 |
xD that's adorable. perfect to wear around all of my whale-hugging friends. Oh wait...I am my whale hugging friend...anyway, awesome.
|
 |
I made a "Save the Plankton" logo once. It was for a club created in support of unicellular (and similar) organisms.
Yes. Erhm, anyway--I like it. |
 |
haha, love the expression on the Whale's face!
|
 |
ohmygosh i want it! $5 million.
|
 |
streetwise on Feb 28 '06 nice man, love the whale! 5$

 |

|
 |

About my design
I've been wanting to do this design for a while, and the Joy Of Text competition was the perfect excuse to actually sit down and do it. I remember always seeing those "Save the Whales" propaganda stuff in the 80's and whatnot and thought this would be a fun little spin on it. I mean c'mon, what about all those barnacles on the whales? I think they need saving too.
