Papaprime on Aug 01 '06 mmm, that's good satire. [/simpsons]
I like the message, I like the visuals. I understand the connection to Little Miss Sunshine, but I think this would work better in the general competition, as I think it's a bit removed from the alternate contest. That's just me. |

mikemills on Aug 01 '06 Brilliantly done.
|

tomburns on Aug 01 '06 1. the design fits the theme, which is 'everyone pretend to be normal'
2. subbing it for a l'loves' also makes it go up for voting alot quicker. 3. also: 'All submissions will also be eligible for the ongoing Threadless competition.' |

outline on Aug 01 '06 i think it'd be really cool without the text. great design
|
 |
Very creative. 5$
|
 |
what does this have to do with little miss sunshine?
|
 |
well, i like the title.
|
|
I'd be all over it if it won. 5$.
|
|
this is a great sort of brilliant. hurry up and win, so i can buy this.
|
 |
wow
|
 |
Superb. Absolutely superb.
|
 |

|
 |
Jemae on Aug 02 '06 SUPER AWESOME IDEA! You are the best! $5 =)
|
 |
$5 AWESOME
|
 |
I agree that the black on black is cool, and the idea pushes the envelope without, in my opinion, going over it. However, I think Uncle Sam looks too damn sinister, stick to the iconic version of the man that everyone knows. Let people make up their own minds.

Normally I like text, but I think this would actually be stronger without it. The illustration speaks volumes alone.

BlameTheSuburbs on Aug 02 '06 5$...without text. I know it hurts to say.
|
|
tomburns on Aug 02 '06 yep, i guess it could hold it's own without the text, i just thought that made it even more devious. haha ;) thanks folks!
|
 |
Haha! Great style, I love their funny faces and little sweaters.
$5$5$5$5$5$5$5$5$5$5$5 |
 |
i dont know if i want a shirt that says "I WANT YOU" on it really big.
|
|
tomburns on Aug 02 '06 haha, i coulda put "YOU WANT ME" i guess, but i was trying to stay true to the uncle sam poster. ;)
|
 |
So, who's Uncle Sam (Scam) if he's controlling the left and right?
The mass media? Ha! Dig the idea and love your ideals on not buying the spoon-feeding from every angle. (Which, by the way - donkey…left & elephant…right should switch hands possibly to make the whole repub/democrat thing go down correctly - maybe?) |
|
tomburns on Aug 02 '06 haha, i wondered if someone would mention that.
yep i put them there so the viewer would see the left and right correctly. i guess they could be switched though, haha ;) |
 |
Strong imagery, and its really funny, $6
|
 |
nice concept
|
 |
nonolarson on Aug 03 '06 Genial.
|
 |
Love that neckerchief/bandit look!
$5 |
|
tomburns on Aug 03 '06 i had to look 'genial' up on dictionary .com.
it's either 'latin for genius' or 'of or relating to the chin' cheers either way, thanks! ;) |
|
cool artwork but take out the text.
|
 |
this would make a fitting jersey for the tournament that will eventually be the end of the world. print that shit!!!!$9
|
 |
damn this is awesome!
great work as usual man |
 |
yyyyyyesssssssss. $5.
|
 |
k those animals bodies look like balls
|
|
tomburns on Aug 04 '06 get your mind outta the gutter, marthave
|
 |
No text.
I love the goofy expressions on the puppets. Great idea. |
 |
i'm torn about the text. fuck it! i'd buy it either way!
|
|
tomburns on Aug 04 '06 that's the spirit! :)
|
 |
excellent! I love the artwork and the message. Keep the text.
|
 |
Heehee. Uncle Sam ninja. What does that say about the inherent nature of America?
|
 |
This is freakin' awesome. If this does not get printed something has gone completely wrong. 5$
|
|
The text is essential to the message, IMHO. I'd so buy one for myself, my wife, and my dad.
|
 |
herky on Aug 05 '06 nice colors and illustration.
|
 |
Wow. You're awesome.
|
 |
I think the text does get the message across better, but it does take away from the aesthetic of the design. i'd wear without the text. great idea by the way
|
|
I'd buy without the text.
|
|
tomburns on Aug 06 '06 no text it is!
|
|
Uncle Sam looks so demonic. :)
|
|
This is true. Perhaps you should have had the neocon or something holding the puppets. The true American politic is not the enemy, it's what it has become.
|
 |
i love it! especially sans text. :-)
|
|
ehhh nice, but i'm seeing sexual connotations... x.X
|
|
tomburns on Aug 07 '06 huh? um ok.
|
 |
mezo on Aug 07 '06 The shadows in mister Uncle are majorly creepy! God bless the USA!
|
 |
wow.
|
 |
this makes me spincter tingle. $5
|
 |
scary puppet theater.
|
|
tomburns on Aug 07 '06 boom sha lock lock
|
 |
couldn't agree more, and I think the imagery is strong enough to work on its own. Gotta go, O'Reilly Factors back on.
|
|
WIN! $5
However, something about "fight amongst each other" seems a bit... off grammatically. "Amongst" indicates three or more groups, "between" indicates two groups. So I think the phrase you're looking for is "fight amongst yourselves". HOWEVER! That's just picky stuff. Would NOT keep me from buying the shirt. I hope this design wins! |
|
Oops, did not realize that you already took the text out. Please disregard entire previous comment as completely irrelevant.
|
|
tomburns on Aug 08 '06 it's not 'out' , i just figured if it needs to be printed without the text, then i wouldn't be opposed to that fo sho! ;)

About my design
basically, i think that sometimes in america, our opinions get in the way of what is just plain right. i try hard to not be swayed by the show. i know alot of you are not from america, but i think you will get the idea.
i doubt this will win for this light-hearted movie contest, but i felt that it really fit the theme so i figured i would sub it under the contest anyway.
There\'s a big version on my profile blog if you want to see it larger and more detailed.
