whats the point of this again?

Is this for a contest or just for fun?

[NBNFRB]

That depends on if you'd buy one of these:

Hmmmm...

Who exactly will you be targeting with this? I'm thinking my 8 year old nephew might like it. Not my personal cup of tea, though.

[Navian]

Does it glow in the dark?

What does it look like under a blacklight? ;)

[zubaier]

I'm lovin that flare... top work! :D

[Exodus]

umm... What?

[cj2a]

Love the name...not quite feelin' the character...I must not be in the target demographic.

[tZ]

I find the typography ineresting but, something about the character is akward and unappealing.

I can't quite put my fingur on it…

Thats because your not really touching the shirt, you would be touching your monitor. ;)

My official response is:
No Comment.

i like his hat.

does he really have that flare coming out of his eye?? ... that'd be freaky...

Down turned mouth maybe? Maybe if the mouth was upturned instead, giving a happy smile with its gimpy eye and teddy bear look more appeal?

It's his gimpy eye....

My question is: if he loves knitting so much, why hasn't he knitted himself a really cool scarf or sweater or something?

[Jackimalyn]

or an eye patch?

[NBNFRB]

He only knits for his grandchildren; and if he was wearing an eyepatch how would he peer into peoples souls? :confused:
Although he admits that he would probably look damn fine with a trendy scarf. He might buy one out of his christmas money in the january sales.

[Virgo Nightingale]

^^ Aha, well that info wasn't included with his specs.

I made him a (rather low quality pixalated) friend.

Is this gonna be like another yesthisismyday thread (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16685&page=1&pp=40)? If so, I have a few ideas of what you can do with it...:rolleyes:

ok. based on the image at the begining:
if these are going to go onto tshirts, those rays coming out of his eyes are going to last for about 2 washings thru a machine... fine details tend to go bye bye. think about simplifying his art?

He looks like he's staring down the nozzle of a can of Raid. ;)

Well, if it's art for art's sake, it's not exactly design so there's nothing really more to say about the execution, you either like it or you don't. And technically speaking in terms of printing it out, another poster made a good point about the fine lines. Also depending on the kind of print (silk screen or what have you) Those lines may end up bleeding out and gaining on the fabric. Check with your tee printer to make sure it won't end up a goopy mess.

I think most of you might be taking this geezer a leeeettle too seriously... ;)

I don't think I would wash that shirt. In fact I wouldn't ever take it off.

This is silly! I have no clue what is going on here! I feel like someone is trying to sell me tupperware!

[Fredonia2k]

Makes me think of A Clockwork Orange.
