monty python, but it was a skit and I wouldn't call it stolen. But please provide proof if you make an accusation.

very nice, love the execution. maybe throw in one more color for the skin, but that's not necessary I guess. Don't know what color you could put it on... mmmm maybe red or orange.. poppy, but not pink and I'm not sold on the baby blue

yeah... The Ministry Of Silly Walks was pretty cool, but this design just wasn't much of an effort on your part -- besides, it's not really Threadless' place to be dealing in Monty Python merch.

Dudes - settle... I want a silly walks shirt damn it!

So if you can do better (as I know you can) submit one for me and I'll give you great marks - minus the cheek. Of course it’s a rip off – I say as much right there in the title (if you know your Monty Python).

Darker shirts give it an inverted affect that doesn't look nice at all – rip off design will look sweet on any light colour though.

Zim - *sighs* you are so cute when you’re mad... keep up the good work.

hehehe on May 04 '06
I really like this (Sorry, don't know about the Monty Python relation so I leave that to the experts), but agree that light blue shirt and the light grey of the design isn't working. Plain black would be a better choice, though certain other colors could work too. Black on white shirt would be better, but black on light pink and "lemon" would be my choices. The text ISN'T working, font doesn't go, I think it would be better without the text but at least give it a better font. Lastly, the center figure isn't contorted (or whatever) enough to make sense of going from figure 2 to 4. I suppose I'm not making these suggestions to all who would attempt this as Neatski invites others to perfect it. Good luck (Especially on the copyright stuff!;)

Neatski you suck. How could you DO such a dastardly deed as imitate your all-time favourite comedy skit in apparel form!?!

It’s just low.

It’s so shoddy of you.

Hang your head in shame.

Yeah.

how 'bout the offcially licensed shirt:

http://www.giftapolis.com/mopytmiofsiw.html

that^^^ is not imitation.
it's vectorizing images that you found on the web. images that are copyrighted and sold under licensing agreements.

if you want to show your love for monty python or john cleese how about buying the licensed merch, sales of which earn them royalties.

photoredally on May 05 '06
With so much evil in the world - it gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling to embrace Neatski's design..... Again well done and put me down for another 3 shirts!

Atalia on May 05 '06
Look at all you damn people, giving the thumbs up and thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of art. Your opinions seems to be determined by an unseen pannel of hipster judges. When you walk by a group of 'normal people' you chuckle to yourself, patting yourself on the back as you stop, it's the same superiority complex shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell and it make you a slave to the competitive , capitalist dogma, that you spend every moment of your waking life bitching about!!

I'm sorry but i really like this shirt.

TheExile
TheExile on May 05 '06
Just because there is a shirt that already has John Cleese doing the Ministry of Silly Walks on it doesn't mean that the idea is off limits. There was a tshirt of the Mona Lisa with Dali like alterations on it that is a design on this site, and I'm sure that many other examples are out there. The images are much cripser than on the offical t-shirts, and I do like the French text. So, in closing, I'd buy it.

It's not stolen, people, it's an homage.

Look at Dark Side of the Garden - OMG IT HAS DARTH VADER ON IT = STOLEN!!!1

No. It's capturing a moment from a skit, and unless somebody else made a shirt of it, then it is NOT STEALING.

I vehemently oppose opposition

This shirt
obviously
speaks quite another language
and is,
therefore,
entirely different
from the "official merchandise"

Kartanym
Kartanym on May 06 '06
If we can make shirts saying 'vote for pedro' within them, or star wars references, or even Obi-Wan Kenobi made out to be Jesus Christ, why can't we have an adaption of the great silly walk itself? I tell you, where's the justice?!

...

Anyway, I like it. So there :p lol
Dr Snook

I already own a "silly walks" tee and it has to be said that it looks better than the submission. Maybe if you incorporated the "silly walks" into an original desig then i would reconsider.

I love the design and idea, although I wouldn't buy it unless the colors were different.
Loserly
Loserly on May 06 '06
Atalia, I love you.

I don't think this really has a shot of getting printed here, but if it was, I'd buy it. I'm sure most of the people who are ridiculing Neatski for being blatantly inspired and not buying the official merchandise ALWAYS buy dvds and cds, (or for the hipsters, LPs) and NEVER download music or movies, because they know everything about giving their idols royalties.
Loserly
Loserly on May 06 '06
Oh, and yes, change the colors. Not something darker, just something different.

Green Cellist
Green Cellist on May 06 '06
Yes!!
Ministry of Silly Walks.. I love that skit!

But is this just a girl tee? That's what it looks like.
So, I'll give this a 5 because the design is so cool, but no "I'd buy it", because it looks like a girl tee, and is definately girl colors.

There's nothing original about this shirt...I would love to see a Monty Python joke on a t-shirt, but you're going to have to make an original reference to it yourself...you know? Like Dark Side of the Garden, but more awesome!

Good luck.

I adore Monty Python, and I would buy this shirt in a heart beat. I just don't know if the design is original enough. I mean, I have seen a lot of shirts that parody popular things... video games, moveis, personalities, but they all add their own twist. This shirt looks like a vector trace of the original silly walk, and therefore not very original.

LaDaae
LaDaae on May 09 '06
This design is quite obviously different to the Imaginary Foundation shirt, which uses the evolution idea, not a sequence of silly walks. It's very similar to the Noflysonus design, but two people having the same idea doesn't necessarily mean one copied it from the other, when it's an idea that's out there and many people are familiar with the sketch.

You can't copyright an idea, people, you can only copyright the execution of the idea. The men on this shirt are clearly reminiscent of John Cleese, but they aren't simply his image from the sketch stuck on a shirt. I can't see a large enough image of the Noflysonus design to tell whether any of the images on this shirt are actually copied from it, but if they're not direct copies and just using a common source for the idea, it is not a problem.
