Serious? Are you really???
|
 |
wow...talk about simplicity
|
 |
Would look better on a black tee. :-D
|
 |
mj00 on Jul 06 '07 Thanks for wasting everyone's time, I guess...
|
 |
Oh man, the detail is magnificent.
|
 |
Lose the rectangle...
|
 |
*slow clap*
|
 |
No, really, I'm laughing out loud!
|
 |
martiandrivein on Jul 06 '07 Lose the Text
|
 |
Lol. Someone already tried this I believe.
|
 |
kooky love on Jul 06 '07 still GREAT $5 ...JK
|
 |
I agree with Bowtie--I'd really like to see this on a black tee. This is one of my favorite designs yet, but I'd like it maybe a little smaller and an off-to-the-side bottom placement. $5
|
 |
renfrue on Jul 06 '07 i think ur design is sensored on my puter cuz it's not showing up
|
 |
bsweber on Jul 06 '07 do you have a link to a larger view? i love what you've got going here, i'd just like to be able to see it a little clearer. $5
|
 |
Oh GOSH! This just made me happy inside. Oh jeez. I would love to walk around the streets of town sporting this.
|
 |
Joelnz on Jul 06 '07 Yea , click the detail button for a closer look
|
|
bsweber on Jul 06 '07 ah yes, but i'd like a detail of the upper left portion if possible
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 06 '07 yep sure

bsweber on Jul 06 '07 gracias

|
Joelnz on Jul 06 '07 deadly serious.
|
|
Spinal Tap reference?
"It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black." - Nigel Tufnel |
 |
nes-k on Jul 06 '07 ahah !
|
 |
kaloyster on Jul 06 '07 I hate to bust your ego but this has been done before and the former got all the attention he wants so this is unoriginal.
|
 |
edges are too pixilated...
but still... 0 |
 |
What happen? I just saw a big black border here.
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 06 '07 The young lovers site had a similiar idea recently, but put a fancy frame around a black rectangle and in small type put "black cat eating licorice at midnight. That is funny and worth a 5$. your ultra-hip and modern "statement" gets a 1 because you are trying to pass this off as serious art instead of just a random pisser-offer.
|
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 06 '07 Or is this shirt an homage to the final moments of The Sopranos? Bravo then!
|
 |
BubuSam on Jul 06 '07 I see nothing
|
 |
lol. its something i would wear i guess
|
 |
$5.
|
 |
haha i actually like this a lot
|
|
kaloyster on Jul 06 '07 Yeah young lovers just sent me a newsletter about that shirt, FRICKINAWESOME.
|
 |
Bramish on Jul 06 '07 Again. I would wear it. But I wouldn't pay $15 for it.
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 06 '07 neither, i might just make my own. heh
|
 |
tesco on Jul 06 '07 yes
|
 |
wotto on Jul 06 '07 I'm surprised threadless let this thru.
|
 |
never seen anything like this...it's so horrible it makes it good :D hah.
|
 |
u guys dont see the ducks having sex?
|
 |
Tonteau on Jul 06 '07 I want to give it 0 and I want to give it 5.
I'll sleep on it and get back to you. |
 |
do the young lovers shirts really think their shirts are worth £40?
|
|
young lovers site even
|
|
hideous
|
 |
there arnt enough zeros to give this.
|
 |
Funny, but how did this not get declined?
|
 |
Would have preferred white square on white shirt.
|
 |
Seriously I have submitted things that actually took time to make and they weren't let through so why is this okay?!?!?!
|
 |
It needs more cowbell.
|
|
humm....
interesting.... |
 |
: (
|
 |
Ok... I did laugh... but so long as we all know you aren't serious????
|
 |
*Whew* - relief. If Threadless let this through, then they HAVE to post mine. YAY!
Oh, and uh.... This shirt sucks. hard. bad. |
 |
You got me, I laughed. But it's kind of unsettling to know that this got approved for voting.
|
 |
Wow this looks great! The blue, the red, the gold color. This is absoluyely amazing!!
Just kidding... it sucks |
 |
There's too much happening on the shirt. Make it a bit simpler and it gets a $5 from me.
|
 |
$0
|
 |
well what a waste of time
|
 |
there should be an option for a smaller placement
:-P |
 |
haha i would wear this to my art classes
|
 |
nice sense of humor!
|
 |
tesco lies
|
|
This is a black on white crime of a design ; and it's cutting into your fifteen minutes
|
 |
eh.
|
 |
it's not really BLACK black, is it? Really, there's no such thing as a true black. It doesn't exist. Therefore, I'd like this one to be a true black and just not exist.
|
 |
how did this get past the judges?
they must be playing a trick on us |
 |
People do this all the time. I have seen at least 4 subs like this in my time at threadless.
|
 |
love the detail button
|
|
hmm. kasimir malewitsch would have puked. a square would at least have been a quotation.
btw.: is it black black or a multi-colored black ? |
 |
i guess it could signify the void in your talent?
|
 |
$5
|
 |
I'm trying to find the sailboat but I am afraid I fail..
But maybe try this on a different colour; Heather Grey perhaps. |
 |
If it was in bright colours I would actually wear this AND I would like it better if the rectangle wasnt as big and wasnt centered
|
 |
You're not serious.
|
 |
yeah i remember commenting that one. ^
|
 |
the other one was a square ..
yeah, this sucks.. |
 |
what a lot of comments
|
 |
I must be missing something. All I see is a black rectangle.
|
 |
IT'S A MONOLITH.....
|
 |
Torakamikaze on Jul 06 '07 the detail is fantastic!
|
|
Hmm.. maybe the doctors right that I need glasses, all I see is a black rectangle
|
 |
this is great! nice work. 5$
|
 |
Are the people taking this seriously really that dense? I mean, I could understand if you were mad because it's been done before, but most are not even attacking that.
Sad, sad. |
 |
AWESOME SHIRT!!!! $5 my dude, $5. =)
|
|
How Malevich of you...not sure if that is your reference but I get it. Obviously some people don't like art history.
|
 |
i...dont know what to say.
are you serious? |
 |
Like it. $5
|
|
kaloyster on Jul 06 '07 The judges ain' playing tricks, kingforaday.
Remember they accepted a design like this before, so prolly they'll try to test if the market will love it, if it does they'll print it. |
 |
jrmasm on Jul 06 '07 I love Russian avant garde art.
Just not on a t-shirt. |
 |
This shirt is so racist. I can't believe Threadless put it up here.
I don't know anyone who would want to wear such a blatant racial slur on their shirt...way to insult the entire Asian community. |
 |
dacat on Jul 07 '07 This has become a funny blog about a previous design
|
 |
can we get a high res version?
|
 |
Color options? Also I'd prefer it off centered and lose the text.
$5 |
|
Joelnz on Jul 07 '07 the other one was a square, this is a rectangle!
|
 |
Or is this shirt an homage to the final moments of The Sopranos?
Nice! Way to go frickinawesome. |
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 07 '07 hehehe....thanks jenny.
Espoz on Jul 06 '07 There's too much happening on the shirt. Make it a bit simpler and it gets a $5 from me. Agreed! And i think i preferred the other square sub more than this rectangle. |
 |
staffell on Jul 07 '07 threadless obviously put this through just for the comments
|
|
staffell on Jul 07 '07 0$!
|
 |
I dig it.
|
 |
yoshi andrian on Jul 07 '07 LOL! 100 comments in one day!! i give you 5 for that!!
|
 |
is there any black magic you cursin the ppl here? tssk.
|
 |
if this becomes a shirt, I'm going to kill all of you...
|
 |
i like the idea, but this is terrible excecution. you probably should have thought it through a little bit more before submitting it, and got some other opinions in critiques first.
clean it up a bit, maybe add a bit more detail, and you'll have at least a 4 from me. you seem to have some good ideas, would you be interested in a collab? |
 |
Too boxy. Could you do a less boxy rectangle?
|
 |
mezo on Jul 07 '07 Get your eyes off of my big black box!
|
 |
this is the most commented design ive ever seen on the website well done and i particularly like the shading lol :D
|
 |
What 'idea'? Am I missing something? Usually these kind of designs have some message on them in blacker text or something. I see nothing. Did I not get the joke?
|
|
very modern :]
|
 |
I like circles sorry
-$5 |
|
Every one seems to have completely missed the symbolic significance of the black rectangle. The lights have been turned off! We must , each and everyone of us ,in our own imagination, switch the light on! and then we will see what is really on that shirt.....another black rectangle..I'm smiling
|
 |
I think that this shirt is good, but it needs some text to help with the idea, also, get rid of the ducks having sex, and then i'd give it a... ...wait for it...
...0! |
 |
Mr Bacon, you are such an arse. I do so hope MooCowMoo was serious. That would make my evening........I think it's racist too but it's so obvious that it's a black supremist shirt with the strong black shape dominating the white fabric of society....................or maybe not.............. Kudos, but I'm giving you a big fat zero as i don't actually want to see it made.
|
 |
So i got bored and took a screenshot of the rectangle and took it into Photoshop. I increased the brightness and then increased the contrast and came to the conclusion that the rectangle is not really black... It has varying shades, check it out
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/7795/picture4ys5.png there obviously must be some deeper meaning |
|
Spam69: If the light is switch off, then when the light is switch on, the shirt could actually be completely white. Your theory now lays in taters on the floor like a fallen stack of cards
|
|
$0.
|
 |
needs work. i would like to see real emotions
|
|
$o..and
|
 |
I agree with Bowtie, black is my favorite colour.
|
 |
sonmi on Jul 07 '07 well, i would wear this! i love that it made it through both the submission process and first day.
|
 |
B000000$
|
 |
Haha! I kind of like this.
It reminds me of a guy I knew who had a big black circle as a tattoo. |
|
pieace of crap! PIEACE OF CRAP!!!!!!
|
|
IT'S PIECE!!!
|
|
bsweber on Jul 07 '07 smoogle on Jul 07 '07
pieace of crap! PIEACE OF CRAP!!!!!! lol don't you mean pieaouce? |
 |
tracerbullet on Jul 07 '07 looks like shimala's asleep at the ol' computer
|
 |
erm..... 0_0
|
|
yay....provoke more more
|
 |
There's so much symbolism in this tee it makes my head hurt...
|
 |
$9
|
|
I do so hope MooCowMoo was serious.
I'm as serious as an over-sized top hat. |
 |
wow what controversy
|
 |
Maybe wraparound?
|
 |
i love the n00bs who just dont get it! oh to be that young again!!!
|
 |
noobs? i think you mean newbs wild chook. get what? why should someone recieve 2000 dollars worth of prizes for a damn rectangle?
|
 |
the title doesn't really make sense...
|
 |
WOWWWW, You are guiness!! I going pay $2500 to buy this shirt. Please send it to the adress below, and let me know how to send the payment to you.
Address: 8025 FXCK Park, PA 59100, HELL. |
|
Has anyone else noticed a very vague figure inside the rectangle? You'll have to stare hard at it
|
|
^ I saw it too, it's rather R rated for a t-shirt though.
|
 |
I am having a good laugh at whoever said this was a blatant slur on the Asian community. Oh man. My face hurts from the mirth. $5.
|
|
sonmi on Jul 08 '07 i love that people are getting so worked up over this.
|
 |
Skipper6745 on Jul 08 '07 I don't dig art school bullshit.
And I think it's funny this has so many comments, also. |
|
this shirt has a genuis to it in the same way that Borat does: it is a tool to expose the stupidity, ignorance and pent up anger of the commentors on Threadless. So to all of you who posted hate; HA! jokes on you...
(i gave it a 5) |
 |
Rachel Ray Gun on Jul 08 '07 It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
|
|
I don't know what's better... the angry comments on this, or the fact that it has a zoom feature.
|
 |
lollllll
|
 |
jpiatt on Jul 08 '07 I think I'd actually wear this. I wouldn't buy it. I'd have to get it as a gift. No way I'd pay for it. But if I got it for free, I'd wear this.
|
 |
Haha! I kind of like this.
It reminds me of a guy I knew who had a big black circle as a tattoo. A few weeks ago I saw a guy who had an ALF tattoo. That's hardcore. |
|
perhaps it's like the black box on a plane. if you get hit by a bus while wearing this shirt it records the fact that you wern't looking where you were going because you were looking at the arse of some stranger walking down the street.
|
 |
Gold. Print this. Right now.
|
 |
this is really amazing compared to a lot of submissions I've seen !
I give it a seventeenfiftynine keep up the good work |
 |
I just read all the comments.
& I got nothing, but: "uhh" *scratches head* |
|
wow im the one billionth comment- just thought id comment again. reading this page is better than reading any blog. 20 bucks says he averages a 4.6
|
|
I gave you at least a 2
because you have the audacity to submit this and say hey YEAH it's mine. |
 |
noponies on Jul 08 '07 if this tanks, just sub a white on white malevich styled shirt.
|
|
This Basicaly sucks, which you probably knew it would as you were putting it on here.
It Sucks. |
|
I give it a $5 - Only because nobody else had the balls to do this. Its funny... and its better than retarded "searching for love" shirts, or ones that are filled with ridiculous shit. Good job.
|
|
Maybe this design should be renamed "A darker shade of black" Please note Joelnz
|
|
Or "The kings cloths"
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 09 '07 i like it
|
|
kooky love on Jul 09 '07 I suppose its average score is 3.54!
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 09 '07 i wish!
|
|
kooky love on Jul 09 '07 the T-Rex's head looking good!
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 09 '07 which t-rex?!
|
 |
INSTANT CLASSIC!
|
|
kaloyster on Jul 09 '07 The commenting will be over if it's allowed to embed flash and images here.
I'd kill this sub page with the will power. |
|
Classic, I'll buy it no doubt.
I like the use of colors, it complements my skin tone. |
 |
hehe i think its funny - ... I would prefer a colour though- green on green or something, i hope you get your 2 grand-
|
 |
Must have taken hours.
But I think you should get rid of the black border, I think it makes the design over cluttered |
 |
Put it on black, and you've got at least one sale from me.
This is awesome. |
|
This has been done before anyway, so it's not like he gets originality points or anything.
|
 |
Hehehe... never seen such many comments...
|
 |
fart
|
 |
Hehehe... never seen such many comments...
exactly Khaa... "designs" like this always get hundreds of comments. Like "Poop" and the other plain square before it... amazing. |
|
skafiendoo7 & seosaimhthin you couple of luddites
|
|
...this is just lighthearted banter....
|
 |
ninja's love it.
the ducks screwing are grotesque. the black seems to be racist, or threatening racism at the least. the text kills it. it would work better as a sticker. the zoom feature HELPS. the border is too pronounced. maybe if it was upside down or inverted. the design is too aggressive for Threadless. tired of Political comments, but this one works. too many colors. need a different color shirt. SLOGAN. maybe centered. this design is thought-provoking and intense. should be in a museum on canvas, not on a t... $$$$$55555 PS-if you put it on JoJo, it'd get printed, like, for sure! |
 |
who would pay 15+ bucks for this?
|
|
AHAHA, funny drjedipimp.
This shirt... is a great inspiration for wit. |
 |
WELL OBVIOUSLY THIS SHIRT IS A WINNER!
I mean look at all of the talk it has created! Not too many shirts can do that no can they!? Controversy and ambiguity is always good for art, and in this case it has accomplished that beyond any other shirt in over a year. |
 |
wow. i just waisted a whole afternoon reading coments about a black rectangle. i am so proud.
|
 |
jajajaja está más cagado que la de banksy
|
 |
was gonna say nice malevich reference.. but it seems there are already knowledgeable people here to do that.
|
 |
Lolz.
|
 |
After that, I'll rush to ms paint and create my first design...
|
 |
White tee, black box, spinal tap reference?, 15 bucks at overpricedless.com . . . . yeah. Sorry, next.
|
|
You know what, $5. Just because, besides that, it reminds me 2001: A Space Odyssey (Random Monolith appearing for no reason)
|
 |
why could this pass???
|
 |
jean_warhol on Jul 09 '07 threadless staff probably thought it was funny
|
 |
Lol, this is sweet. I get the joke.
Nothing. Thats how I feel like right now. Blank. I'd buy it. |
|
I wish it could be one big bar across the upper part for the girls t :)
|
 |
idea = $5
position = $0 so sorry its a zero |
 |
chippos on Jul 09 '07 well, it is good to talk about the subjectivity of the modern art, but wearing it the people will never now about what im talking about, or what i want to say, it works good here to make a "discussion", but it isnt good at all to be printed at threadless, i will not score this, the results will tell the truth, but nice idea and good luck!
|
 |
suprisingly..i would wear this
although i would keep the white tee just add various rectangle colors :) |
|
I think if this design was renamed :- Event Horizon.... chippooses "reservations" could be transcended
|
 |
At first I was baffled (most of the commenters seem to be). However, it's a bold, modern design that I might consider wearing. 5$
|
|
Bold and modern? Still 0$
|
 |
$5
|
|
jean_warhol on Jul 09 '07 200 comments plus.....
|
|
Unoriginal or not, I'd wear it
|
|
Okay... What!?
|
|
I don't mind being the butt of all jokes, but I'd pay at least $10 for this.
|
 |
I find it fuuny how every one is getting so pissed about this
|
 |
man if threadless printed it with felt ink
it would be like a pillow |
 |
i would actually wear this.
|
|
kaloyster on Jul 09 '07 Guinees record for most comment in a sub still goes to British T-Rex
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 09 '07 that would be sweet
|
 |
i'm sorry but it's just stupid..
|
|
i'm sorry but it's just stupid
|
 |
man, I'm sorry everyone's been so mean.
I don't think it's any more pretentious than a lot of the other stuff I've seen, and it's not necessarily a bad kind of pretentious. I wouldn't pay 17 bucks for it, but if I saw it for cheaper somewhere, I'd wear it. |
 |
I truly cannot think of anything witty to say that has not already been said, but since I am the only person on Threadless who has yet to comment on this one(and that includes people who just joined as I was typing this)......
at least it's not a pirate, ninja, cute monster, pun, buncha swirls, tatted lady with a shiny ass, alien, etc., etc., etc. I'd have put it in Eagle vs. Shark |
 |
This is obviously a joke so I don't know why I'm wasting my time commenting. This is pure and utter rubbish.
It must have taken you seconds and seconds to complete. |
 |
Robsoul on Jul 10 '07 and this has been done. laughable how this has 211 comments and hasn't been dropped yet... ha- ha- ha .... I'm laughing, can't you tell? dammit, but then I think of rothko and his genius, the "image" died with him. black canvases, the last true paintings of the last true art movement, everything else has been regergitated piss since then, very good piss though. |
|
5. and i'm being serious
|
 |
The comments on the square one were funnier than the comments on this one. Sigh.
|
|
Umm... This is just kinda pointless and wasting a lot of people's time...
Is a score of -1 possible? |
|
hahaha
i actually really like this i love simple things. like blank sheets of paper and stuff really really good some people might not get it, or think its dumb cuz its just a black rectangle, but they dont get the brilliance of this design. very creative. props. XOXO |
|
oh, and the way everyone is getting so worked up (the pissed off kind of worked up)
its really quite funny. if you dont like it, so be it. haha XOXO |
|
oh, and id like it on a different color shirt
XOXO |
|
haha everyone is getting so bitter and sarcastic. THey need to take a chill pill.
I like the shirt. I think it's pretty funny. |
 |
how is this still in the running
|
 |
HAHAHAHA
you are my new best friend. |
 |
this would deffinetly draw attention around town.
i can just see the people staring at my chest trying to figure out what my shirt means... very modern and out of the box... heck! it is a box. |
 |
yup i like it. I'm a big fan of the colourfield artists such as Rothko & Klein. This reminds me alittle of Klein's famous Blue series.
This is great. Love it |
|
martiandrivein on Jul 11 '07 British T Rex
|
 |
hahhahahahah!!!!
I cant believe this. |
 |
what a conceptual artist :-9
|
 |
Poor Design
Even though your design may be submitted properly, we do decline some submissions for poor design. All designs are pre-screened by a panel of Judges before put into the running. Just proves that Threadless 'judges' will let any old crap through now. Threadless has gone downhill a lot in the past year. |
|
This is still in the running? :) Wow.
|
|
i can't believe all the comments this has generated. $0
|
 |
well if you think about it... it's sort of creative a bit. I mean, people would definitely notice that you have a rectangle on your shirt...
|
 |
still in the running... this is going to score 2.+
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 11 '07 ha, i doubt it
|
 |
wtf? no way....
ill give it a 5 haha |
 |
lmao
|
 |
hahaahahah just about every memeber of threadless has commented on this shirt.
|
 |
why did you do this? youre not bad at designing, i liked your alphabet shirt and i think your unicorn one is cool too (if not just a little unoriginal) but this? like why? why? why dammit?
|
 |
splatkunst.dk on Jul 12 '07 Priceless. I will give this... 0
|
 |
id wear this.
|
 |
I haven't commented on this design...
... Dammit. |
 |
i'm so afraid people will actually vote for this one... :(
|
 |
Monkey III on Jul 12 '07 I love it, but it's been done many times.
Sorry man. |
 |
i love it! reminds me of something i saw somewhere, "i like wearing shirts with shapes on them" ha.
|
 |
this sub looks much better on this computer w/ out the flash plugin =p
it would be arguably clever the first time it was ever done..but at this point not so much |
 |
so original!
|
 |
this would threadless a lot of ink to print they'll probably make it a select.... i'm sure people would still pay for it...
|
 |
just relax ppl! take it as it is, don't be so insulted. its just a box on a shirt.
(ps i'd wear it. seriously) |
|
Joelnz on Jul 12 '07 well said
|
 |
I love this. It's so intricately detailed and well thought out! The artistic meaning behind it is complex and interesting, not to mention original!
But seriously, I'd wear this. It's a right laugh! $5 :) |
 |
i love it!
|
 |
is this supposed to be like sensory or something? like on tv?
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 13 '07 yes
|
 |
Ninjas.
THERE ARE 5 million on this shirt. |
|
Joelnz on Jul 13 '07 yea i think that was its downfall
|
|
Great score, I thought this one can't crack 1.0.
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 13 '07 haha yea
|
 |
wow.
|
|
Aww, I was hoping for this to get a better score. :/
|

i wish it got printed,
i really really do. |

Joelnz on Jul 16 '07 so did i :(
|
5 days later
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 22 '07 It still might.
|
|
Joelnz on Jul 22 '07 i think i would be very unpopular if it did
|
|
renfrue on Jul 22 '07 at least we found rectangles are more popular than squares

 |
This is just waaaaaay too funny to not be printed. Print it out of your garage and I will buy it, maybe not for 15$ but there will be green at the end of the rectangle!
