english please?
|
 |
good one
|
 |
No comprendo
|
 |
thats from super mario right? cooll..
|
 |
Just in case - cutback to the surrealist picture that showed a pipe with the words "ceci n'est pas une pipe" - this is not a pipe (get it - it's only a picture of a pipe) - questioning reality, like the surrealists always did....
Me likey the video game refernce...lol |
 |
yeah, you really don't need to know the french to understand this - its a pardoy of a mega famous painting. good stuff little g, but i'm a little dubious that the image is lifted straight from the game (correct me if i'm wrong!) 5$ nonetheless
|
 |
im a big fan of Rene Magritte's art and im a huge NES g33k
this is a 5 with loads of love |
 |
Awesome, $5.
|
 |
If you want to know the English translation, um, check the title.
|
 |
tracerbullet on Jun 20 '06 I love you :-)
|
|
little g on Jun 20 '06 Thanks for the comments everyone. I don't know what happened to my submission comment but basically I said that this is my take on a painting by one of my favorite artists Rene Magritte.
Also, Staffell, This image I actually drew in illustrator. The whole thing is vector, but of course it comes from Mario ;) |
 |
Ditto Brian's comment.
You are my hero. I wish I knew how to use HTML to make my "$5" all humungous and stuff. |
 |
$5
|
 |
dude that is hilarious! i know alot of people wont know this reference but anyone familiar with surrealism will. its great!
|
 |

the non arty woudlnt get this, but cool. |
|

|
|
i love this more than anything else in the world. arty pretentious, yet totally retro geeky. I must have it!
|
 |
it will impress my arty and nerdy friends in one fail swoop, $5
plus it would make a good pressie for my budd, have it read before mid august or so god help me i'll scream |
 |
love Magritte... liking you:)
|
 |
i love it, it's smart. 5$ from me.
|
 |
hooray, art references! the art historian in me loves this, AND the big nerd in me loves it. it's perfect.
|
 |
i would never wear a shirt that has french on it, and its unorigional. 0
|
 |
Oh, man, littleg! This is great! I'm not big on all the mario brothers/video game designs lately, but this is definitely one I'd wear!! Great idea!!
|
|
That's pretty clever, I'd buy it! 5$
|
 |
C'est vraiment top...bravo !
|
 |
i love magritte, so i love this!
|
 |
since i didnt go to art school, i dont get the reference.. and since its an art history reference that a lot of people wont get and that said referece is the only thing keeping it from being just another nintendo cliche submission i gave it a 2 because you actually made the vector.
dont hate me. |
|
tracerbullet on Jun 21 '06 OMG DID YOU STEAL THIS?? U TOTLY STOL THIS DIN'T YOU!! YOU STEALR!!! JUST FOR THAT I'M ONLY GIVING IT A $5. I WAS GONNA GIVE IT A $6, BUT NOT FR A STOLN DEZIGN!!
|
 |
i love mario, so i love this! he-he!
|
|
little g on Jun 21 '06 ^ Brian (tracer) You're off your rocker. lol ;)
kirksheltonart: Don't be silly, I don't hate you. |
 |
IT'S A MEeeeee Maaarriioooo..... I love it, and I'm not being biased.... 5.. I'd totally buy it :)
|
 |
if i wore this to my art history class, i bet my professor would laugh. and then slap me.
i adore it. $5. |
 |
Aw I want Mario on the shirt as well :(
|
|
Odd take on Da Daism but it works. $5
|
 |
i love you
|
 |
Magritte + Nintendo = Awesome. Oh PLEASE print this!! $5
|
 |
i love youuuuuuuuuuu
|
 |
i dig the magritte ref. But it also bothers me that any shirt that has something to do with nintendo will score well.
|
 |
idea is nice, typography and layout leave a little to be desired.
|
|
little g on Jun 21 '06 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Magritte
^Click it if you are confused. |
 |
finally, a mario shirt that would look awesome on a girl! gimme! 5$
|
 |
even thought its a artsy reference most people should still get it, it's spoofed on things like TINY TOONS for crying out loud!
But I'm afraid if i wore this I'd get beat up for being an artschool nerd and a videogame nerd. it's like 2 in one! I'm giving it 5$ anyway! Jocks can die |
|
Holy crap please print this!
|
 |
stingerstyler on Jun 22 '06 this is actually pretty cool - love both the references you combined. Nice idea!
|
 |
Magritte for Nintendo!
|
|
I like it, but I think I'd like it better if the phrase was in Mario font. But 5$ anyway :-)
|
 |
yay for a repeated theme with a different design.... 4$
|
 |
omg. I need this shirt. Love Magritte. $5
|
 |
mario + french + tee shirt = $5
|
 |
absolutely fantastic! 5/5!!
|
|
teh prefect.
|
 |
I like how you've managed to bring together two different kinds of nerds together with this surrealist Nintendo philosophy. Hurray!
|
|
Perhaps pixelation of the printed penmanship would bring a better balance to your blend.
|
 |
Ste7en on Jun 22 '06 I wish it said "this is not a pipe" in english because ...this is not a foreign country...I crack myself up, but come one world, learn english, its good for your grey matter
|
|
Ste7en on Jun 22 '06 come on* world
|
|
Ste7en on Jun 22 '06 (not a good time to typo the english...look at me boost your comment count)
|
|
I must have this! 5$!
|
 |
 |
Hey! I'm French, and I'm glad to see french writing, but, in fact Magritte was belgian...I want this shirt!!!
|
 |
$5
I love it! |
 |
Ha ha! Magritte - great!
|
 |
hahahaha super mario bros. rule $5
|
 |
That is wicked awesome, but as an ignorant American, I wouldn't have gotten it without the English translation in the title. Very nice though 5.
|
|
tracerbullet on Jun 23 '06 Looks like someone blew away her comment goal :-D
|
 |
Muy bueno!
$5 |
 |
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh man.. Guys, Pipe also means blowjob in french. This is amazing, in our french class recently we had dialogues and we had our token gay french guy hold up a pipe to say 'ceci n'est pas une pipe!' ahahaha no, no, that is not a blowjob. |
|
this is so great!!!!
|
 |
$5 Hot.
|
 |
$5, hilarious.
One negative side: It requires a knowledge of both mario and magritte, two things that are often somewhat mutually exclusive. Sweet shirt anyhow. |
 |
smart.
i love when various references are used. hope it gets printed. |
 |
Monkey II on Jun 24 '06 I think it's an icon we all know of, without being too obvious (mario, 80's )
Great!!! |
 |
Shit! All these comments! Damn...
|
 |
I would just like to say that I had to skip over this three times before it hit me in the side of the head like a pot full of cold spaghetti noodles and I finally got it.
But now I love it with a love that words cannot express. =] |
 |
Jemae on Jun 24 '06 I really can't get it but it's still COOL.
|
 |
isn't magritte one of them freedom-haters?
i'd rather have some freedom fries. $5. |
|
Magritte meets Mario. Masterful. $5.
|
 |
Haha, cool reference. ^^
|
 |
i loooove it.
|
|
this is great! very clever...i'd buy it. $5
|
|
My new favorite thing ever.
|
 |
haha! Great reference! too bad not that many people get it! ART HISTORY IS NOT AN OPTION!
|
 |
please print this.
5+$ |
 |
wow, what a lot of comments!! hope it gets printed!! YAY!! 5$
|
 |
mario wasn't drawn that way on purpose.
|
|
please no magritte reference anymore! too easy.
no text. |
 |
Well my Magritte 'Ceci n'est pas une crack pipe' scored 2.26, but you gotta lotta comments so I'm gonna add .56 say 2.82.
|
 |
Great as it is, plus I love Magritte so I really like the reference.
|
 |
ir0cko on Jun 26 '06 the pipe is going to eat you. nice work!
|
 |
Effin excellent...i did an art project on magritte and the pipe painting was my favorite
|
|
nice shirt, love nintendo.... don't listen to Ste7en
|
 |
oh man.magritte piece. thats fantastic. print print print$$$$$5555
|
|
$5
Love it!!!! |
 |
i love that painting. and no, it isn't a pipe. it's a picture of a pipe. i would buy it for the artwork reference.
|
 |
I would buy this in a second.
|
|
I want it right now!!
|
 |
I want this so badly that it hurts.
|
 |
AWESOME IDEA!
|
 |
i think this is the best idea i have seen on threadless. if i would have voted i would have given you a $5
this is freakin awesome. I WANT THIS SHIRT> BAD> PLEASE PRINT IT!!!!!!!!! |
 |
Brava.
|
|
i don't know how i missed voting on this one, but it would've been a 5$
|
|
This is the best idea I've ever seen. I give it an 11.
|
 |
Super Magritte reference. Very nice.
|
|
I have a melody in my head now... which brings back some strange memories from college...
|
 |
DeadPoetic_Underoath on Jul 24 '06 congrats little g...cool shirt..mario rules!
|
|
Ha, awesome! My painting professor would LOVE this.
|
 |
Fuckin' Awesome
|
 |
Jebs on Jul 25 '06 fabulous winner :)))) enjoy, you deserved it!
|
|
Love it, bought it, can't wait to wear it. :)
|
|
I WANT THIS SHIRT. congrats on the print. whats awesome is that its in french! so people will have to ask you what it says, and they wont get it, so you can explain it. great art history lesson. perfect way to educate the world.
|
 |
Cool shirt, I just wish the shirt colour was slightly darker.
|
|
Puh-lease please pwease re-print this!! It's just brilliant. Nintendo T's are cool, but Threadless Nintendo T's are sub-zero!
|
 |
oh boy, magritte & nintendo wrapped in one cute package!
love, love, love it! it's even trompe l'oeil... how tricky. :] |
 |
need to reprint.
|
 |
Amazing
|
 |
lorem_ipsum on Jan 09 '07 I second on the reprint...I want this shirt so bad.
|
|
little g on Jan 19 '07 I hate the fact that due to a glitch this now has the first comment showing up as mine. It's not mine... I feel like I should go on record saying that.
/rant |
|
renee magritte doesnt need any translation to english
|
|
little g on Feb 08 '07 pector,
I agree. I did not post the comment "english please?" It is a glitch with threadless. Someone else did and now the first comment in a sub after the site redesign had defaulted to me. Totally sucks cause it makes me look like an idiot. |
|
tracerbullet on Feb 08 '07 ZOMG GENEE GOT PRINTED?!?!
me ftw |
|
little g on Feb 08 '07 *shakes fist at Brian*
|
 |
that's not the kind of pipe i use
hey g. |
|
tracerbullet on Feb 08 '07 man, that gag NEVER gets old :-D
|
|
little g on Feb 08 '07 You smoke a tabacco pipe then? ;)
hey shirt. Brian, No It doesn't does it? |
|
i love mario he is the most important man in my life
|
 |
This is not a comment.
|
 |
REPRINT
|
|
DITTO
|
|
little g on Mar 24 '07 :D
|
 |
Just for the record, it doesn't make you sound like an idiot. I thought you were pre-emptively mocking all of the people who've never heard of art. Evar.
|
 |
Same, I actually thought the comment was funny with you saying it.
|
 |
I would be more apt to buy it if it was in English.
|
 |
sherambles, that would ruin the joke. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_Of_Images to see why.
|
 |
That's the part that makes it so awesome, the fact that it's en français. Je l'aime.
|
 |
nice.
|
 |
This also works because there were those pipes in the game when you got on top of them and pressed down, nothing happened.
|
 |
Uh, I had no idea about the Magritte reference, but bought it because I thought it was funny in the sense that it is not a regular pipe, but instead, a very dangerous look-a-like.
|
 |
This combines two different, completely disparate types of geekiness. God it's so great.
|
|
this will be my very first threadless purchase, even though i've been scoring tees for a month. i heart this design! thanks also to geeksugar for posting it.
|
|
PURE GENIUS
|
 |
i did not know it's from a famous painting.
i own this, and i am blessed that i do =D |
 |
wow i just found out what this meant, cause im learning about magritte in art.
i was always like, hmm wtf, why is this shirt conisdered so great. well now i know |
 |
i feel stupid for thinking that this was a sexual innuendo.... le pire c'est que je suis certain que je ne serais pas le seul...
|
 |
d3d on Jun 16 '08 knowing genee it probably is
|
 |
I love this shirt. I love Magritte. I wore it on Saturday.
Thank you. |
|
it's so cool to see people after they've learned something
they're still the same |
|
I LOVE IT!
|
|
this is so great!!!
|
|
little g on Jul 12 '08 thanks for the kudos. I love popping in and seeing the positive feedback. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside like I swallowed a kitten... and that is a slogan by ladykat and you should go give it love. Go on pet it like a kitty!!
|
 |
I wish this would reprint :(
|
|
tracerbullet on Jan 22 '09 i wish genee would come back :(
|
 |
wallstreet on Jan 30 '09 I wish this would reprint too. Please reprint. Please. :]
|
 |
Man this shirt rocks, it even has a double meaning, because anyone who doesn't know mario would just think its a flower pot.
|
 |
great!!!!
|
|
Genious! If you didn't get it, try googling it.
|
 |
Awesome. I'm a huge Magritte fan, and smb was one of the first games I ever played. So this is very sentimental and awesome for me. Only wish it came on a black shirt, but eh, I'm prolly buying it regardless.
|
 |
the is awesome 5
|
|
555
|
|
absolutely ingenious.
|
 |
I really love the idea but it saddens me to say that we don't call this a "pipe" in French. The pun doesn't survive translation.
Maybe you should keep it in english. It's a good idea though |
|
Ah, already been printed, my bad XD
