I would like this a lot if it was showing anything else on the screen besides the Jenny thing. I'm kind of tired of that.

Hey! Another Jenny Jenny sub!

Hey I like it!

But I'd like it more if it had just a doodle or sumthin on the screen rather than Jenny's number... like Big Ed said.

On Heather Grey shirt and centered I would think about buying this, I like the concept.

yeah man, i was really up in the air on this design as far as color, placement and screen contents goes... so i just made up a couple options and i chose the jenny thing because it was a) recognizable and b) from the same time period as etch a sketch (at least when i remember it from, im not so certain on the actual history of the etch a sketch. i think it's been around since the 50's or something right?)

omg finally someone said it, the knobs look like boobs.



really good idea though!!!! i really enjoy it, but you need to fix the knob thing and the jenny thing is fine, because i mean...it's a phone, you need a call list =]

ha ha, what boobs are you looking at?! lol... no, seriously though... how could they look less like boobs? should i lift and separate them?

i like the concept, but the text -- especially in the "y" -- has more curves than i remember etch-a-sketches allowing -- everything should be pretty much straight lines.

hahah cool idea! Good illustration too.

Umm, i didnt think the knobs looked like boobs at all... what the hell kinda person has boobs like that??!!



Honestly, if anything looks vaguely like a body part, SOMEONE will point it out.... grow up people!



ANyways.... $4 this is cool

the placement is really bad.
Andy Mason
   Andy Mason on Apr 19 '06
its okay if the placement isnt good, it is a MOBILE phone ;)

BATHROOM WALL, GUYS.

   Andy Mason on Apr 19 '06
bathroom wall? are you talking about the placement? that you want for the boob comments?

I know. It amazes me that some people can pull something wrong out of anything (and these are 30 yr olds!)

I did a cow and someone helpfully stated that it looked like she was being done up the arse. I love the etch a sketch phone, but I don't get the Jenny thing. I love your style, Andy. (Jenny, Andy? Sounds like The Killers!)

Why do I get the idea you got your boobed phone from this idea:

....whichby the way is executed much better

lucyfarfort on Apr 20 '06
Great idea, but sorry for some reason i thought boobs too. Its not that they look like boobs it the placement. But i like it anyway

why do people sit and comment on their own work and have a running dialog while it's still up for voting? isn't that what the blogs are for?



I'm just gonna hit skip on this one cause seeing 5 Andy Mason comments has made me angry and will force me to vote lower.

Stop explaining your design and clarifying things and let it speak for itself....SKIP

ahaha.. great.

i'd love a little doodle instead of the number, like people have already said.
Andy Mason
   Andy Mason on Apr 20 '06
orange pride... thats more of a rene magritte concept, wherein an illusion is created to blur the lines between the art and the reality.... this is a completely different concept, where two familiar objects are combined to create a new object. i can see why you thought they were similar because they are both etch a sketch related, but the similarities end thre. as far as that one being better, you're probably right...



jpiatt... take it easy man... it's t-shirts, not... something.... serious....i mostly comment on here instead of my blog for the convenience of the readers while they are judgin my design, so they dont have to go back and forth between two pages... its way easier

I love the fact that it's an etch-a-sketch, but the Jenny thing is overworked, I think it would be better if it just said "Hello?" Or something.

It's still about a four though, just for originality.
