mnemo_syne on Nov 09 '06

I have to chime in, this is AMAZING and hilarious. *want want want*

twistanerve on Nov 09 '06

brilliant!

blu_dragon_1004 on Nov 09 '06

Wow, Great!

Wonderfish on Nov 09 '06

This design is amazing! I could be wrong, but I think the genitive ending on Socrates is epsilon-omicron-upsilon-sigma, not an eta.
I would definitely buy it anyway though.

EPierce on Nov 09 '06

hehe, brilliant! please print this threadless

Mr Rocks on Nov 09 '06

You are not just a god graye, you are now a greek adonos (spellcheck that Manos please!) $5

Ellsswhere on Nov 10 '06

fine... get a print, i dont care

sillysocks on Nov 10 '06

LOVES IT!!!

timrb on Nov 10 '06

Wow. Threadless should have waited a week or two instead of printing a certain similarly-themed hoodie. This one is just so much more complex on every level, and wonderful to look at.

Ava Adore on Nov 10 '06

yep nice!, excellent detail!

dolly on Nov 10 '06

printprintprint!!! pleasepleaseplease!!!

grayehound on Nov 10 '06

I was pretty bummed when I saw the goldilocks shirt on monday cuz I'd just finished subbing this when it came up. I completely missed goldilocks, but if I had seen it I might've found another solution for this. I'm glad ya'll like it, tho...thanks for the great comments!

Raj Mahtaj on Nov 10 '06

Hope this gets printed.

snazzymatt on Nov 10 '06

Please print this shirt!!

alacyt on Nov 10 '06

Fantastic. Great detail.

helo on Nov 11 '06

You even nailed how Socrates died (poison). Quality work through & through with the style and the blending of old Greece with today's college greek culture. A+ !

Ste7en on Nov 11 '06

graye, you always impress, and you're one of the best artists around this place...great stuff as always

SassyGiraffey on Nov 11 '06

Hilarious!

evilFe on Nov 11 '06

i'd buyyy it!

kaizoku_risu on Nov 11 '06

it is a great design and deserves to get printed. 5.

fastjumper on Nov 11 '06

awesome job man

Coffeesoup on Nov 11 '06

MooCowMoo on Nov 12 '06

This is so great! $5

periwinklepixie on Nov 13 '06

i think it'd be EVEN better if there was some man on man action... to show what the Socratic method REALLY was

Ogakory on Nov 13 '06

Did you really draw that? No offense it os kind of unbelievable. Looks like you stole it from the internet. But otherwise it is cool. 4

grayehound on Nov 13 '06

I had reference from Classical Greek vases to make sure I got the style right, but otherwise it's completely mine. A big bunch of friends can vouch for its authenticity...they saw the sketches and stages as it developed.

abeadle on Nov 13 '06

Holy cow, the detail on this is insanely amazing, $5. A print for sure!

ningy on Nov 14 '06

I love the detail, too great. Nice, but black is too clichéd but wouldn't mind all the same.

Lupencia on Nov 14 '06

hehe impeccable 5$

NessaChan on Nov 14 '06

Haha, very nice.

La_Llorona on Nov 14 '06

I'm confused! People like me take comfort in believing that nothing even remotely clever could ever come from, be related to, or even come into somewhat close proximity to anything semi-related to a fraternity. This is good. Really good. Quit messing with my head, man.

streetwise on Nov 15 '06

Heck yeah I'd buy this!! Good one Graye. 5$

toiletmitten on Nov 15 '06

i don't get it.

grayehound on Nov 15 '06

thanks everyone for the great feedback! much appreciated!

toiletmitten, in case you aren't kidding, the image is a take off of Socrates' execution by the leaders of Athens. He willingly drank hemlock rather than be kicked out of the city, in my case from a beer bong while being cheered on by his frat brothers. there's an added reference to Revenge of the Nerds (the nerd fraternity was Lambda Lambda Lambda) in there just to add flavor.

artifice on Nov 15 '06

I love the subtle satire. Great design and super smart concept. Threadless needs to do stuff like this to change up their style. I'd buy it for sure

bricklayer333 on Nov 15 '06

Fratboys will love it.
