Re: Secret of the Sharpener

This is adorable.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

great idea and great execution!

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

the hand is perfect! great design.

As a math teacher, I have 3 electric sharpeners in the back of my classroom. I swear, I must hear that sound in my sleep, it haunts my dreams!

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

I guess this proves why the electric sharpener didn't work when I jammed the pencil in. Sorry lil' dude.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

I know I have seen this design somewhere for sure. It may have been when you got printed somewhere and your portfolio was listed or something. Have you entered it at threadless or similar site?

Ah yes, It shows that I gave it a 5, so I must really liked it then as well.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

The problem I see with this shirt is the size/placement. I think the design comes way too close to the armpit; it will probably not look so hot when worn, especially on a girl's shirt.

Other than that I freaking love it. :D

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Holy moley this had better print.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

The pencil sharpener of the Great North or the Canadian Pencil Sharpener.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Very neat design... makes me think of the illustration styles we see at threadless.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Anything + Lumberjack = GMV

Being a proud owner of a lumberjack beard, this is a must have. Great work.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Ha ha ha ha, I really like this. Awesome. =D

I may have shown it a bit too large on the tee. Im sure it could be sized down a tad and it would still have a nice presence on the shirt.

thanks for all the love peoples! cant believe Im still in the fog.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Out of the fogged designs, this one should definitely win.

I'm in English teacher. I hate it when some kid (always a boy) stands there with a dopey grin and knows he's annoying the f&^% out of everyone.

I love the irony of that first sentence.

BTW great shirt and GMV.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Teacher here...probably couldn't pull off this shirt, but I can appreciate it without a doubt! Awesome illustration, awesome colors, awesome concept! My only criticism is the size of the design on the shirt, which I think you already addressed anyway...so good lookin' all around!

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Great idea, but as others said, armpit hands are ick

Yes, I agree. Just a tweak would probably fix it no problem. I'm unfamiliar with how that would work; would you have to completely resub in order to change just the size?

I really like this shirt, if it wins I think I'll buy it. This is my favourite of this derby, definitely deserves to be in the fog :D

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

I LOVE IT!!!

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

I always wonder why my pencils are so sharp. GMV

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Like others allready said, the size and placement could use a little tweaking. Other than that, it´s a great concept and very well illustrated.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

Clever, funny, and well-executed. If this doesn't take first I'll be surprised.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

I cannot express how amazing and creative this is. Simply mind blowing!
A total breath of fresh air in a world cursed with bad drawn anime-like animals.

Re: Secret of the Sharpener

So this is why those old sharpeners were so fun to poke a pencil into...-whirrrrrrrrrrr-

Very creative design!
