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

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 ;)

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

But now I love it with a love that words cannot express. =]

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.

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.

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.
