 |
Great idea and colours

 |

|
 |
Monkey III on Mar 19 '07 instant classic! -- 1UP for you
|
 |
i love how he is humanized and you can't see his face, but you get hints :)
|
 |
Mario with plumbers crack - how awesome!!!
|
 |

 |
Edword on Mar 19 '07 so sweet! everyones got to make a buck:)
|
 |
this is fabulous!
love it best on light blue. (you know, one small problem... there's no sink....) |
|
awesome man I would absolutely buy that.
5 + buy |
 |
dacat on Mar 19 '07 You've got the best sense of humor, great execution as usual! $5
|
 |
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 19 '07 Can you be any more Threadless's new clown prince of smart visual punnery? Awesome Merio shirt, even though you might wanna make him a bit plumper and perhaps a small powerup from Mario on the floor just to give another light touch to the proceedings, like a big black hammer taken from the Hammer Brothers, or a small gold coin? I know you wanted to go for total realism, so it probably wouldn't do for your design. 4$ any way i can get it tho! Great job!
|
 |
artdrops on Mar 19 '07 great illo fatheed!
|
 |
The hat looks like its floating next to the countertop, rather than sitting on top.
|
 |
i need this shirt!!! 5$$$$ that's a rap people!! to the printers...
|
 |
omafugginagodda! my cracka! she so white-a!
|
 |
If there is anyway to make the ass split right where the boob cleavage ends up, I'll buy this.
I disagree, MooseDinner. |
 |
Mr Rocks on Mar 19 '07 fuck that is clever!
|
 |
$5.
|
 |
I like it.
|
 |
Flying Mouse on Mar 19 '07 Haha.. This will get printed man! $5
|
 |
Great! I'm a real fan of your recent submissions. I like it best on yellow too.
|
 |
jimmytan on Mar 19 '07 cool! haha mario! i like it!
|
 |
At first, I thought it was a lame excuse to get a plumber's crack on a shirt. Then, looked in the upper left corner and couldn't stop laughing. VERY brilliant idea. I guess this is what happens when the princess saving is in the off season...
Very clever. $5, fo' sho! |
 |
you need a pirhana plant coming out da pipe.
|
 |
Glennz on Mar 19 '07 very cool, Nice execution as always
|
|
cute.
|
 |
I'm conflicted. I love the Mario concept...but I hate the crack. It seems way too forced. He took the overalls off just for the money shot?
*4*...$5 if we lose the crack. |
 |
I'm guessing that you read the PBF. Nice execution. You gotta give some credit for the concept, though.
|
 |
jpiatt on Mar 20 '07 this WILL print. This is the next Dark Side of the Garden
|
 |
I want to $5 this but the overalls are too distracting... why would he take them off anyway?
|
|
I would buy this in an instant.
|
 |
Clever and brilliantly executed. $5
|
|
really loving your work! $5 keep it up!
|
 |
i don't get it??... only joking mate - your the best!! $5
|
 |
Haha... This has to be a print! Your work of late has been top class fatheed! $5
|
|
something weird bout the crack lining up with the seam of the overalls...like though.
|
 |
the boy fitz hammond on Mar 20 '07 Haha!! Sweet
|
|
FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 20 '07 Urbanraptor's pirahana plant idea is boffo! Just ONE more subtle Mario-esque element is needed before i 5$ all over this one!
|
 |
Class!
|
 |
the idea...design...execution...SECKS!
$5 |

|
 |
spires on Mar 20 '07 $5! that rules
|
 |
This is absolutely brilliant your best so far!! i want this to be printed so badly!!!!!! $$$$$$5555555 keeping my fingers crossed!!
|
 |
I agree that the perspective just adds on the quality of the design. Great pun too. You're going to make big $$$$ with your great work!
|
|
ha! it took me a second, I was thinking "why the overalls..."
but shouldn't there be a sink in the countertop? otherwise what is he plumbing? |
 |
hehe
|
 |
Nice... but I'm bothered that there is no sink, which is what he must be working on. His hat is visible, as is a line indicating the far side of the counter... but there is no sink. As well, given the high angle perspective on the rest of the image, the perspective on the hat is off. And why does the hat cast a shadow, but nothing else does?
Great concept though. |
 |
fatheed on Mar 20 '07 I did put a sink in one of my versions, but I took it out because I believed it to be superfluous. I only wanted a suggestion of the counter top to aid the eye, and to sit the hat on. If there is popular demand for a sink, I can post a version in this blog that shows it, but like I say - I didn't think it necessary, given that I thought it was obvious what he was doing. Don't give me a bad score just because there's no sink! That can be rectified if deemed necessary. Also - The light source is overhead and slightly to the right - Other than the hat; the counter casts a shadow, a shadow is cast in the creases of his clothes, the doors are shaded, and the floor is too light/reflective to cast a shadow of any significance. I let the hat hang off the counter so that it would cast a larger shadow, to give it more importance in the illustration. Kinda like underlining it. Its a shame you think the perspective of the hat is off - it is a quite harsh three-point perspective, and the hat is raised at the front and tapers off so it might was always going to look a bit funny. I hope that responds to your concerns :)
|
|
I didn't give you a bad score. ;) I think the issue for me is the line indicating the far side of the counter... if the "eye" can resolve that, then where'd the sink go? If there's a suggestion of the far side of the counter, there should be a suggestion of something in between. Plus sink=plumbing, so it signifies that he's not rooting around in a random cupboard, therefore it wouldn't be superfluous at all.
I think that's what's making the hat perspective feel off too. If my "eye" can resolve the hat, then why can't it resolve the sink that should exist in the same plane (at least at the forward edge of the counter)? The receding planes of the sink would define the plane of the hat and make it seem less like it's stuck on a flat (perpendicular to the viewer) surface. Anyhoo, I'm making it out to seem like a bigger deal than it is, since folks dig it minus the sink. It just bothers *me* and I had to explain why, but I am only one person. Do you have a link to the other versions, out of curiousity? |
|
fatheed on Mar 20 '07 Yeah, will flickr it a bit later and link it. I appreciate your thoughts :)
|
 |
$5! You're my hero!
|
 |
Luke... on Mar 20 '07 haha, very fun perspective
|
 |
I don't think I'd wear a shirt with a blatant ass crack on it, but I'm literally crying down my face :D
I may have to work around the crack issue, this is hilarious! |
 |
xiv on Mar 20 '07 well done.
5&buy |
|
$5
No question |
|
fatheed on Mar 20 '07 Thanks guys. For those of you who wanted the sink in, I've posted a pic here :)
|
|
I gave it a 5$ for the sink! It's probably a winner as it is.
|
 |
Yoohooo!
This makes my day! |
|
Edword on Mar 20 '07 I'm with maija.
|
 |
It is pretty cool - it took me a while to realize that it was Mario. Maybe put the hat in a place where it's more obvious, or add something else Mario-themed to the picture. Maybe I'm just slow, though... :)
|
|
http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF213-Mario_Too.jpg#201
Coincidence? If not, there's no shame in saying where you got the idea. |
 |
this should win
|
|
fatheed on Mar 20 '07 Haha - Yes, coincidence. I looked at that when Kaloyster linked it earlier. A lot of the 'sketches' on that PBF made me laugh, but I had no idea it existed before today. I don't see any notable similarity to be honest. I got the idea from scribbling down concepts in my sketchbook! :)
|
 |
Oh goodness. With the sink it's even better if that was even possible. $5
|
 |
mario's daily job.... hahah $5
|
 |
It's awesome.
|
|
Yes sink please.
|

sonmi on Mar 21 '07 Moserary on Mar 20 '07
It is pretty cool - it took me a while to realize that it was Mario. Maybe put the hat in a place where it's more obvious, or add something else Mario-themed to the picture. Maybe I'm just slow, though... :) i think the hat is in a good location right now. design-wise, things tend to be read top-bottom, left-right, so the top left corner works as a good center of focus. |
|
omg it's way better WITH the sink
|
 |
with sink! with sink!
|
|
fatheed on Mar 21 '07 Thanks guys. Seeing as there is a lot of sink love, here is the link again because the last one is buried under new comments. Please rate is as though it were the 'with sink' version if thats the one you prefer - and if it is, please leave a comment to say as much.
HERE IS THE LINK TO THE SINK Please continue to comment either way! Thanks again. |
 |
lol, amazing
|
 |
Could you make a third version with the sink AND ass hair? I mean really... you think Mario doesn't have ass hair?!?!
|
|
YES I
|
 |
aww. everyone loves Mario. I know I do.
the art is nicely done. the colours are good but not great. the concept is really appealing. standard placement is appropriate for this and I like it. if it does well, you should make a Luigi one. he was always my favourite of the two. |
|
I'ma keepa looking ina heres!
|
|
I also agree with the sink proposal. do it.
|
 |
Why is he getting undressed? It makes me feel uncomfortable...it's not natural
I understand that Mario wears overalls, but if you gotta show crack, you really can't have him wearing overalls. And let me be the 500th person to say that it needs a sink. If there's no sink what the heck would a plumber be doing with his head in the cabinet? Wow, that sounded negative. I really do love this, like I love all your stuff (especially the eagle stealing the kid). |
|
fatheed on Mar 21 '07 He's not really 'getting undressed'. He's just taken his overalls off his shoulders, which is not actually that strange a thing to do! The sink is a done deal. Just imagine that it's part of the proposed design. I appreciate your thoughts and your support ! :)
|
|
$5
|
|
I know he isn't getting undressed, but there just doesn't seem to be any real motivation for him to have his overalls half off unless he's intentionally showing some crack.
I always thought Mario wore overalls so that he would be immune to plumber's crack. That's what makes him a hero! ;) |
|
Don't listen to them fatheed. It is genious. In the 80s it was totally cool to wear your overall half off. If Mario isn't a child of the 80s than I don't know who is.
|
|
Hey, don't get me wrong. I'll still buy it if they print it.
|
|
It was too hot under the sink, so he unbuttoned his overalls. That's also why he took off his hat.
|
 |
PERFECT!
BRILLIANT!!! OTHER ADJECTIVES! |

Now that is awsome shirt. Simply marvelous. 5 and buy.
|

awesome-o

kaloyster on Mar 22 '07 OCandCO on Mar 21 '07
Could you make a third version with the sink AND ass hair? I mean really... you think Mario doesn't have ass hair?!?! Haha I agree! Raise your hand if you want CHUNKY ASS HAIR!!! |
 |
very nice 5$
|
|
I didn't say the ass hair needed to be "chunky" though.
Good heavens. |
|
LOL! You're all about "ass hair", but "chunky ass hair"? That crosses the line. ;)
|
|
Oh Yes! $5
|
 |
I love this. This shirt is... well, ITSA SUPER! I agree that a green pipe just peeking out would just be great. I would buy this is a heart beat. $5 no question.
Oh, by the way Travioli-"*begins to slow clap" made me laugh out loud at the office. |
 |
hahahahaahh oh yea! Ill'buy this one and another in green with Luigi.
|
 |
lol , well done
|
|
I enjoy having a laugh at this one. It's down right humourous. It kind of characterises real life scenarios. Illo has great perspective and draws you in. Dunno about you guys but I'm really sick of seeing "clever" ideas done badly just to earn money. Or images about how a guy and girl fall in love. Sweet Jesus, gimme a break.
|
|
P.S. I can tell the guy is a bloody plumber. I don't need to see the sink. It would just take up to much room. Don't listen to them.
|
 |
I don't think you need the sink to tell it's a plumber, you need it because why would he fix a pipe that wasn't connected to anything?
|
|
The lack of a sink hadn't bothered me. It was very obvious (at least to me) what he was doing even without it. It DOES look better with the sink though. I still don't like "Stripper Mario", but it's still very well done.
|
|
Coverall straps dig into your shoulders when you're hunched over. Of course he'd undo them. Plus he'd be gettin' all sweaty in there and need to air things out.
|
 |
great!
|
 |
Love it my friend.
Keep up the good work!! $5 |
 |
mario, the only fat man in red overalls i ever loved.
|
 |
This needs to be printed 5$
|
|
no! leave the overalls off! I love the picture as it is! perfect - with sink or without - IT NEEDS TO BE PRINTED
|
 |
It's great, but I probably wouldn't buy it unless the design were changed to omit the overalls. They're very distracting and hard to make sense of....
|
 |
I'm in love.
$5 |
 |
hahaha.....nice!!!!! {5}
|
 |
Hahha.. love the style! AND the fact that guy is Mario of the Mario brothers! Hhaha.. nice touch!$5 and I'd buy it
|
 |
illustration is mighty fine, could go a little smaller...
|

awesome!
|

|
 |
Amazing!!!
|
 |
very cool... just need work on the perspective of the counter top. right now it looks like the hat it stuck to a wall... $4
|
|
fatheed on Mar 26 '07 Thanks for the $4, but the perspective is fine - its just so harcsh, that it benefits from the sink which is here.
|
 |
Clever. Good one.
|
 |
oooo yeah.......a green pipe would work well. Very nice design!
|
 |
jalidd on Mar 26 '07 nice!!!
