wow, this is probably the first really original and beautiful sub i have seen today. (at least, I haven't seen anything else like it..) my question is boxing still "boxing" en espanol? I love cats, and I dig your colors. very easy on the eye.

the cat looks just like a very violent runt tuxedo (black and white shorthair) I used to have...

I love the style; a little bit of Alphonse Mucha, a little bit of turn-of-the-century matchboxes... very beautiful and fun

I hate cats, but I'd still buy this shirt!



God, this is making me rethink every shirt I've ever given a five to. Sure, others may have supercool graphics 'n' shit, but this is truly original. And yet... not. It's... original... but harkens back to the post-impressionist stuff, you know?



Okay, shut up and vote: 5.

stan,

good job on the posing of the cat.

it looks natural enough where i think xochilo might actually be a threat in the ring!

"El Boxing Gato" needs to be just in English or just in Spanish, not a combination.

DeadPresleys on Mar 03 '06
Ok stan. One night only. Your "gato" vs. the Champ. NO HOLDS BARRED! You get fifteen perscent off the door. Deal?

I agree with wyrogreg. This is cool but would be super cool if it was all in spanish.

Some unseen force is making me want to give this a 5....could it be the subliminal "5" shapes in the border? Nice touch.



Improved if all Spanish, but still a good job.
djlevy
djlevy on Mar 04 '06
"Boxing" in spanish is too long and needlessly complicated. The spanglish is a perfect touch, just try and say it. "Ellll booooxxxxiiiiinngg gaaaaatoooooo"....come on, that's way cool! And c'mon, it's probably one of the coolest, sickest drawings you've ever seen. Not only can Xochilo box, but damn, he/she looks like they can box pretty damn well. Don't mess with Xochilo. 5 it. Buy it. Capiche?

Beautiful job, Stan. I want to own this shirt!

Nice.... I love it! I don't really like cats, but I do speak some spanish, and I love this cat! I'd so buy this.

"boxeo" = boxing, en espagnol
gorilla_with_an_axe
gorilla_with_an_axe on Mar 06 '06
I don't speak Spanish, but doesn't the adjective follow the verb? El Gato Boxing (or El Gato Boxeo if I can trust jsitzer9 with the translation). Either way I love the design. Either way, great design. It's probably the most original I've seen today.
lemontessa
lemontessa on Mar 06 '06
it should be: "el gato boxeador" for the best translation, even though that means "the boxer-cat," sort of. "el gato boxeando," which is the literal one, makes less sense, since that is an active verb. you want more of a description, so "el gato boxeador"

Ï think El Boxing Gato sound bad... I'd buy it if it said The Boxing Cat or nothing at all (except Xochilo). Or maybe El Gato Boxeador, as lemontessa suggests. 4$
Welma
Welma on Mar 08 '06
And I'd also change the font in the circle, looks too handwritten and simple...
