|
 |
Very cool, love it, need it, print it! 5$!
|
 |
Rockslide on Jul 07 '06 This is completely cool. Like I said in the blogs, this is fifty shirts in one, there could be a whole Travis line of shirts just from this. I hope threadless starts making stickers cause this would be flippin' awesome as a sticker set too. Awesome job!
|
 |
gnarled. love it as usual travis.
|
 |
Yeah, nice work... but maybe a bit to busy
|
|
travis76 on Jul 07 '06 i think it would even look cool behind a jacket-even obscuring most of it...
|
 |
Bramish on Jul 07 '06 Frigging excellent $5
|
 |
hey my name is up there kinda ... but i'm Tanya with an 'a' ;)
I love how busy it is - awesome shirt! |

little g on Jul 07 '06 Ace! $5
|
 |
Great! But I wish it didn't switch from front to back so quickly -- hard to read. Still $5.
|
 |
tomburns on Jul 07 '06 man this is a great idea dude. i think you may be getting a new laptop soon! 5 unt BUY
|
 |
I absolutely love this. I saw it in the blogs the other day and couldn't WAIT for you to submit it. Every little aspect of the shirt just oozes great design. I would buy it and wear it so much that people would refer to me by saying, "You know, the guy who wears that one shirt?"
$5eleventy-billion. |
 |
polynothing on Jul 07 '06 $5
|
 |
this is awesome. i want to wear it!
|
 |
!5$!
|
|
is that skaw in the obey sticker??? haha
|
 |
as i said on the blogs...$5
|
 |
i really really like this shirt... it's so tuff. $5.
p.s. is threadless based in chicago? if it is, i live here and you can hire me to "bust shit up".. i'll take care of it fo ya |
 |
Luke... on Jul 07 '06 great job travis,
you really hit a winner with this one. the time spent shows. love all the little details... |
 |
Ste7en on Jul 07 '06 I think you got this. I mean, this is unique enough, and its not so far out that threadless has to change how they do things. No special shirt colors. No printing on the inside of the shirt. No pairs of shirts. Just good old fashioned goodness. I also like grey shirts. 5$
|
 |
speedyjvw on Jul 07 '06 AHHHHHHHHH
i NEED this shirt $5 |
 |
a comment from skaw is like golddust
5$ as if you didn't know |
 |
MrDomino on Jul 07 '06 Looks like you brought your A-game Trav. I best step it up if I intend to beat you.
Nicely done, though I'd like some more color variations. |
 |
Excellent 5$
But if you live in country? :D |
 |
catdogpigduck on Jul 07 '06 DAMMIT THAT'S SOME HOTNESS!!!
|
 |
...incredible.
|
 |
You've really put up some time on this one, but it's not that you would be somekind of a famous streetartist yourself now is it? Alot of the customary stuff there, but nothing that would get my attention really.
I don't really understand why people should need to boost up their city culture credibility with a shirt like this. The cops are all at you! ISN'T THAT COOL OR WHA!=!? 'This design would be great for when you\'re tagging and the cops drive by- just cling to the wall and you\'ll disappear...' Oh, not. I think it's just a stupid idea to get a shirt desperately sold on Threadless by appealing on street culture, of which many want to 'belong' to. But nevertheless, you have a good design even though I wouldn't wear it. |
|
travis76 on Jul 07 '06 Deusm: i'm dizzy..wha? " Alot of the customary stuff there" 1)kinda the point. "'This design would be great for when you\'re tagging and the cops drive by- just cling to the wall and you\'ll disappear...' Oh, not" 2)stupid jokes aren't meant to be taken literally. "I think it's just a stupid idea to get a shirt desperately sold on Threadless by appealing on street culture, of which many want to 'belong' to." 3) desperately? -the main idea is to combine as many of my favorite things into on design as i could... the way i saw fit to do that was the layering of street art. i'm not trying to get the street art kids- per se, but i hope to include at least one element everyone likes, not by cunning, but by nature. "But nevertheless, you have a good design even though I wouldn't wear it." 4) thanks, i think? that's like saying 'i hate everything this represents, you're obviously a wanna be, but I like your design'. as an outsider and someone who is the farthest thing from 'street' as myself, i'm merely honoring the random nature of months and layers of anonymous street art, and the process as a whole. i'm not asking for your cred. |

jublin on Jul 07 '06 i can already see myself wearing this on my wedding day! hurry up and print if before i barf with frustration!
100$ |
 |
Deusm, your a fucking ass.
|
 |
congratulations travis, enjoy your macbook.
|
 |
starr226 on Jul 07 '06 I don't know if anyone else who's been hanging around threadless for far too long (like myself) gets really excited when under-printed designers put out a sure thing - but I know I do. I feel the same way about this as when I first saw "No Peeking" by Jublin. That "THIS is a print and it couldn't happen to a better person."
Enjoy your...uh...12 pack of Red Bull. |
|
travis76 on Jul 07 '06 glug glug
comparison to no peeking- an award in itself. |
|
I like it a lot. Very engaging and very skillfully incorporates a wide range of iconic images and themes. Really hope it gets printed. $5
oh and... Really? You're worried that people are buying a t-shirt for urban authenticalition? (oh, its a word... somewhere) I don't even know what thinking could spur such a response. |
 |
nice job jerk off
|
 |
xiv on Jul 07 '06 fantastic!
|
 |
yeohgh on Jul 07 '06 too busy for me, but love your illustration!!! cool!
|
 |
title reminds me of seinfeld's urban sumbraro
|
 |
fan-freakin-tastic :)
|
|
I love the controversy!
|
 |
Dude, awesome. Make me a supermarket camo whilst you're at it will ya?
$5 (love the slamazons poster!) |
 |
eskimokiss on Jul 07 '06 love the shepard fairy reference!!
|
 |
0Jim0 on Jul 07 '06 I can tell that you've put a lot of work into this.. it's not really my thing because it's waaayyy too busy for a guy like me, but it is clean and well illustrated.
good luck |
|
'Stupid jokes aren't meant to be taken literally.'
Maybe my response didn't mean that I took it totally into heart, or do I have to put these ':D' things all over so you people get the point and the fact that maybe I didn't take it so literally after all? Ehh. And oh yeah, forget about the streetkids who are doing that stuff for real, I just thought that you were a random wannabe. I've seen too much of those idiots at random forums where they come saying that now they've tasted the real streelife by tagging into a wall and got polices attention more than once HEY. Nevertheless, I loathe those idiots really bad. Just thought that you would be something like that at first, with your streety design which has everything from cophating to leftwing propaganda. My bad, I was at very frustrating mood when I came back home anyway, so I hope you'll forgive me. 'that's like saying 'i hate everything this represents, you're obviously a wanna be, but I like your design'.' I don't hate everything it represents, I just hate people who try to be something by living trough the street culture without doing really nothing. A cool shirt could do it aye? It seems that I was wrong, even though there's people like that. YOU KNOW THOSE DAMN TAGGING KIDSS!! :d whatever. 'i'm not asking for your cred.' Well you had it allready. 'Deusm, your a fucking ass.' You know there's nothing wrong with threadless, nor travis, but some random ass who comes and has no understanding from anything that has been said is really a fucking laugh. |
|
MrDomino on Jul 07 '06 There are plenty of things wrong with Travis, or "Deus-T" as I like to call him.
I think the real problem here though is that you have horrendous communication skills. |
|
cmon guys... keep it cool. like this shirt, which we all agree has a good design on it.. apparently
|
 |
Pretty cool.. kinda busy though. Like if the design wasn't so rectangular, I'd buy it
|
 |
Very awesome, Graffiti is always a great thing.
|
 |
id use it under a button-up
|
 |
I like it a lot! It's laid out well and not confusing or annoying, I would wear it for sure.
|
 |
Wow! Very cool. 5
|
 |
I love it.
|
|
wow, this is really great. I'd wear it forever!
|
 |
I want it now! $5
|
 |
kooky love on Jul 07 '06 GREAT $5
|
 |
danrule on Jul 07 '06 nice work, though not sure how good it'll look 'boxed in' by the print regulation size...it's like comissioned or allowed graffiti rather than the actual kind.
|
 |
label on Jul 08 '06 I really want this design to win the competition.... if this doesn't win threadless... travis is going to kick someone's ass!
|
 |
wullagaru on Jul 08 '06 this is awesome travis .. just looking around at all the stuff youve put in it .... really nice job
|
|
Very cool. A little busy, but I think I would still wear it.
I like. |
|
Im sorry its too much to digest.
|
 |
may still be dressed as a cowboy...
Brilliant!!! 5$ |
 |
adam antium on Jul 08 '06 man, you hit the spot again!
5$! |

jublin on Jul 08 '06 glug glug GLUG
comparison of no peeking to new sub by travis = major compliment for justin. p.s. i DARE you to beat no peeking's score. (and i only say that because i know for sure that this sub will do it) |
 |
fastjumper on Jul 08 '06 awesomness dude.seriously
555$$$ |
 |
Too much for a tee.
|
 |
mmmm i like it
but i dont like it soo good job though |
 |
very cool idea, this design needs to not restricted to the 14x14 rule. it would be awesome if it covererd the entire shirt...sleeves and all.
very cool...bravo. ~e |
 |
streetwise on Jul 08 '06 trav, this really kickass my friend. great job. 5$
|
 |
grayehound on Jul 08 '06 that really came together well, trav. I especially like the clown/mezo/wendy/kfc logo and the obi sticker. plus ya got skaw saying he'd wear it...that pretty much locks it up for ya. nice, nice work
|
 |
too busy for a tee;;
but a great design |
 |
Wow... neat-o-mania xD $5k
|
 |
this needs to win, immediately. $5
|
 |
too busy for me as well, but i like typography here (for once)
|
 |
I love street art and this design definitely teeters between the boundaries of tribute and appropriation. Since winning would mean this collage of rehashed symbols would now have a price rather than be free for all public consumption, I'll go with the latter.
|
|
This is a great design. I think you should put it on a jacket. If you can...
Wish you luck |
|
travis76 on Jul 08 '06 my shirt has drips, hearts, skulls, animals,internet cliches, lusters of random things, pop culture parody, AND angles.
all the no-no's..but hopefully, better when combined. appropriation? most street art is appropriation. there are so many preston fairey and banksy rip offs out there, it's ridiculous. this isn't just about street art. this is about the coming together of things from many people on one surface. missing cat posters and musician wanted flyers aren't street art, but they are all what happens to a surface in the city. |
|
travis76 on Jul 08 '06 as far as putting up a manipulated 'bob' head being appropriation, i'm actually a member of the chuch of the subgenius (alias: Pastor Bedtime) and am encouraged to spread the word.
|
|
great idea, the layering of street art is can be really interesting and beautiful but this design doesn't completely capture it... probably because of the color limitations- everything just ends up looking the same and not like a diverse range of posters/stickers/graffiti
|
 |
you gonna rock this threadless-world!!!!!!!!!!!
5$ the colours are working so good together and your caracas rOcK!.ÖÄ'#;,,,,,'PPMMMmmmmnn___ you are the winner for me so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
Most street art is appropriation, but unsold appropriation. The way it's looking, you will attain two thousand dollars and Threadless far more, essentially profiteering from images that are near-copies of or inspired by existing free art. The flyers and non-street art (I didn't notice, really, before) do give your design more credibility as an homage to city life. However, I just want to let you know I never intended to say what your intentions were with this design, just state what I thought might be arising moral issues that come about because of the creation and subsequent win of your design.
(p.s.: Not a big fan of Banksy because the whole shroud of mystery concerning his identity seems so gimmicky, especially when he's doing work for corporations and galleries, not to mention album covers, and apparently has a manager.) |
|
travis76 on Jul 08 '06 gotcha amble.
|
 |
mrwalrusface on Jul 09 '06 5 and buy
|
 |
montmont on Jul 09 '06 This to me is more Volcom street art, where you have used a collection of clip art, brand symbols and generic design elements. Which as you say is part of the point. I dunno, it dont look like any street art that I have seen, which generally is more drawings of a more random nature. This is more brand poster/sticker advertising, or kinda similar to a collection of house industry icons. Perhaps this is what the streets look like where you live?
I also tend to think the composition could have been more random, and less geometric, you have random elements, but I think you could have played with the placement of those elements and made it less "boxy". Still, with all the buzz around this, perhaps a winner. |
|
Ray. on Jul 09 '06 The more I look at this, the more I think it would make a f-ing rad screenprinted poster, more so than a tshirt. Or a really nice repeat pattern on something.
|
 |
I like the idea, but it's just too busy.
Good luck. |
 |
So, i think we love it! 5$
|
|
travis76 on Jul 09 '06 it's very much an atlanta street art thing. there's more bands and events pushing, covering up alot of old scribbles....
|
 |
This is like one of the best subs I've EVER seen.
|
 |
EXCELLENT....always enjoy your work, even from high school...i still have the comic books and doodles....LOL
|
 |
If this isn't Threadless lovin Threadless then I lost all hope
|
|
$5 a million times over til they print it
|
 |
m-hm.
|
 |
It would look awesome on black.
|
 |
$5, totally awesome
|
 |
one of the strongest "5$" votes i've given in quite some time.
|
 |
Monkey II on Jul 09 '06 Obey the travis!
|
 |
stingerstyler on Jul 10 '06 oh yeah dude, awesomeness!!!
|
 |
mezo on Jul 10 '06 When this gets printed, the not elite Elite Club should get rewarded 1% of your earnings.
Five and buy, you bastard. |
 |
JOHN2 on Jul 10 '06 This is tremendous. You make me want to work harder on shirt designs. YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BE A BETTER MAN!
|
 |
Mighty sexy sub
|
|
Why do people keep saying things like, "Too busy for a shirt"? That's like complaining because the Mona Lisa only has one person in it.
This design is what it is because it's busy. If it weren't busy, it wouldn't be street art. |
|
travis76 on Jul 10 '06 thanks super pope. you 'getz' it.
|
 |
BlameTheSuburbs on Jul 10 '06 I was skeptical, but then I saw the mock ups and I'll be buying this. Inspired work...
|
 |
I love your stuff, Trav, and I want to love this... But there's that Wendy McDonald image and for some reason it just throws the whole thing for me...
|
|
awesome bro.
|
 |
Why isn't this printed already?
|
 |
Fantastic concept, some of the sings are quite amusing.
|
 |
hahahahahahahahaha chicky with a moustache.
gotta have it gotta have it! |
|
stingerstyler on Jul 11 '06 SPACESICK:

bortwein on Jul 11 '06 How can you not print this. It's so Select. 5$
|
|
skaw on Jul 07 '06
...i would wear it I didn't even notice that. Congrats trav. |
 |
This is hawt! I would definately buy this shirt.
|
|
at first glance it looks like you just got alot of other artists stuff on there. but you did change them somewhat...
meh. |
 |
OlliRudi on Jul 12 '06 ^mr deadhead, don't be stupid. even an idiot can see that this is very, very well thought out by travis...sure, he references stuff by other people, but he'sput his own spin on everything. this must have taken ages, it's one of the best subs in long term memory, and i refrained from submitting more stuff to the threadless loves threadless compo because this undoubtedly DESERVES to vin the grand prize.
oh, and $5, travis. good luck! |
|
travis76 on Jul 12 '06 the only two artists that i knowingly SPOOF are fairey and (i woudln't even say) banksy (but more like banksy ripoffs themselves).
why? because when i walk down any urban street, that's what i see. |
|
Ste7en on Jul 12 '06 I want to comment again. I like this a lot. I want to wear it. I might get two, frame one, and put it on my wall. Who knows, things could be crazy, I might even go to home depot and get matching paint, and make my wall look like concrete.
|
|
label on Jul 12 '06 PRINT IT NOW DAMMIT!
|
|
label on Jul 12 '06 And give the man his money and prices!
|
 |
hogboy on Jul 12 '06 prizes even... great work Travis. I only wish this could be fully roll printed & cover the whole shirt for the true urban camo look. $5
|
 |
Kojima on Jul 12 '06 This is a good design, but why is it for Threadless Loves? What is the "new trend" here?
|
 |
Woah! You win hands down. $5
|
|
stingerstyler on Jul 13 '06 look at all these comments, in-friggin-credible man!!
|
 |
there's so much going on here. i really dig it.
|
|
I'm holding you to your word travster!
This is by far one of the top 5 best shirts of threadless. If this doesn't get printed, its a travisshamockery!!!!! bwahahahahaha! taco bell is yummy too! VOTE 5$ 5$ 5$ 5$ 5$ 5$ 5$ |
 |
aw complicated genius - I love it

This reminds me of Barbara Kruger work. Not sure if anyone else has drawn that connection yet.
Nice job man! |
 |
excellent work!

Ten bucks says this becomes a Club Tee.

I just purchased mine.

|
 |
looks a bit messy but its cool!!! heheheee...
|
 |
Wow! really cool
|
 |
I want this shirt, its amazing, good work
|
|
I love how this shirt is a blatant rip off of famous street artists by Banksy and Frank Shepard Faire and other artitist. Good job supporting unoriginal work threadless!
|
|
travis76 on Sep 26 '06 ha ha hilarious.
you know street artists but you don't know what parody and homage are, do you?- even though 90% of street art is parody or manipulation. of course 'obi' is homage to 'obey' dipshit. and tell me what's so banksy? stencil work? better go sue every kid that ever sprayed a stencil before and after the great fucking banksy. i didn't even know about banksy until someone on this site told me about him. this shirt is also such a ripoff of mcdonald's, everyone that ever lost a cat, every punk band flyer, anyone that ever picked up a fat marker, the hello my name is sticker corporation... jeezus man. get a clue, |
|
Yeah but once you make a profit off of someone else's work then it s completley different.
|
 |
I love it, and wil probably be buying one.
|
|
I just love this Shirt! My friends just can't stop looking at it!
Gonna need to order another one! |
|
Love the whole design, not a huge fan of the color - not dark enough. But...ahhh I'll buy it anyways, hah.
|
|
I think it's safe to say americankgb is not an artist.
|
 |
i just love the "obi" bit :):):):):):)
|
 |
great design!
