I saw grind and thought of WoW... I like the design, I couldn't wear the shirt though. If I wasn't happy with my job, I'd get a new one. We all start off as a cog and work our way to spring or perhaps pulley.

I too thought of grind in the mmorpg sense. EQ though. grinding in WoW is so easy it's hardly grinding at all. It's a pretty cool design. Might be better with some other things in there like "rent", "bills", etc. To hint at what the daily grind is all about.

the overstatement of it reminds me of those japanese songs when they add a lil understated americana with non-sequitur interjections like "HOT DOG ROCK AND ROLL COCA COLA... OK!"

laurosaur, thats is the best comment i have ever recieved...you really made me laugh...i love japanese rock, [and sitcoms] just for that very reason.

I really do like the design and the type treatment but I'm hesitant about it hmmmmm at least to wear it... I think because of the type. The wheels beautiful look though with the aging.

i love this. the colorand placement is perfect. 5

Can that hairline distressing really be printed? If it could, I would be surprised. Does anyone know for a fact that that much detail can be done?

I love it! I work in an office to support myself, but really am a science fiction writer on the inside.

I did NOT think of EQ, even though I am familiar with the game's terms.

what are all these game refs. ?
i havent been a gamer since well, since playstation 1...and that was mostly for gran turismo...mmmm love racing cars...

if there is a similarity to another concept about the same emotions of working, that it is merely coincidence. since i have never played any role-playing games...[after intensive research i discoverred that WoW is world of warcraft, and EQ is everquest, right?]

but if you like those refrences, then like tony says " grrrrrreat!!!"

to answer the fine detail comments, no threadless's screen printers cannot print that much detail, but the more that is there the less that will be lost, so think of it as overkill on the design so that it comes out right on the screen print.

I guess the collage/ random design thing is big right now. I like your take on it though, monochramatic and thematic. A lot of the other ones have no cohesive qualities or purpose. Nice work! I want this.

Very Cool. 5$

I like it.. great work! $5

I love that an old cliché like "the daily grind" makes people first think of MMORPGs. What's next, "the rat race?" I mean, you do start out killing rats in EQ. ;)


Anyway, in a game level grinding is when you repeatedly kill the same creatures in an area to slowly gain experience to the next level. It's basically the same thing as going to work each day and slowly trying to climb the ladder. It works either way.

AHHHH,
thanks for that explanation rholliday.
seems that the game designers and myself think the same way.
well, in a way i am kinda glad people are seeing that reference, it adds another 'level' to the design [haha, that was a bad pun]

well maybe all the gamers will come out and score this one high...haha

all right for those of you who dont know who "Pinche Uno" is its rediculous its a company that just tells all their buyers to vote on their threadless shirts so they can get $2000, its unfare, let the artwork be personal...and this shirt sucks...O

^You're wrong

December_faded... You cannot be serious.

There is no goddamned way someone could be that stupid.

iunno andonium
people are pretty damn stupid

this is one of my faves of your latest design style!

I think someone could be that stupid.

ha ha, the kids have no sense.

what a stupid score!
:(
