I think it's a nice message, and nice worked out...But I don't particually like wearing shirts that suport something other then your state of mind. (your moto as example)
|
 |
I would definitely wear this and help spread the world to leave the poor whales alone! We love them and will miss them if they're gone!
|
 |
The design seems to be having fun with
whaling instead of speaking out against it. |
 |
I like this. I don't think it's having fun, it's a satire.
|
 |
I can't imagine what this has to do with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.
|
 |
i like it! 5$
|
 |
antosh on Apr 24 '07 Very well excecuted/ Love how you did the logo, your text treatment. Well done, great illustration. I also like your See saw, cool idea!
|
 |
Kojima on Apr 24 '07 Awsome idea. Glenzy quality.
|
 |
I agree with helo? i dont understand how this is suposed to be supporting anit-whaling?
but maybe its just me? |
 |
who's the guy in the white coat?
|
 |
emeryg on Apr 24 '07 The guy in the white coat is a "supposed scientist" - you know when the whalers put up banners saying "we're doing scientific research" or "we're taking tissue samples" but we all really know why their out there - so they can make money and put over sized sushi in a can!
Thanks for your comments so far & antosh good luck with your entry $5 |
|
Get rid of those two little dudes
they distract from the can |
 |
Boo hoo on the whaling issues. It's a shirt.
|
 |
You can't make a can that big, and even if you could...
Um...J-Ray has a point. Ted Leo? Design is pretty good, not so sure of it as a shirt. |
 |
anyone else noticed that it says JAPAN ?? haha you kind of point a finger but you need to broaden the range of countries you blame. :) yep. and yea its cool. id buy it probably $4
|
 |
Great message and great execution.
$5 |
|
Lol I preffered the thumbnail, this is still cool, except i'm pretty sure there is no scanner big enough to read that barcode.
|
 |
mmmm, I'd love to try whale meat.
|
|
This illustration is really well done. I love the style and the concept. Not really sure how it fits with the competition but I'm going to give it a 5 anyway.
|
 |
Yeah, 'scientific whaling' is a problem. It's sort of ironic that there isn't even really a market for whale products (because it tastes like crap), and yet some states are still so stubborn about continuing to whale.
|
 |
I think you're right about putting Japan on the side, as they're the most notoriously stubborn about continuing their whaling. But yeah, there are other countries out there deserving their fair share of the blame.
Personally I like your idea, I like the little people nearby to give it a sense of scale, and I like how the whole design is an allegory for the ridiculousness of the practice of whaling in today's world. But then again, I'm a vegetarian and support animal liberation/animal rights. So of course you've got me in your pocket from the get-go. |
 |
jpiatt on Apr 25 '07 This is very well done, and I think it's kind of funny actually. I didn't think it had a "message" until I read your comments, and then, I still just thought it was funny.
|
|
Iceland recently reopened Beluga Whale hunting. and Pacific coast indian tribes, Washington, can do it so long as they have a permit and don't go over some kind of limit (so as not to scapegoat Japan).
|
 |
I like it, but doubt I would ever wear it as a shirt. Still think it's a great design and illustration.
|
 |
You know, canned whale wouldn't have to be so huge. Tuna is sold in little cans and they're enormous fish. So the size of the animal has nothing to do with the absurdity of whaling.
|
 |
I agree with Ciscofur: get rid of the people.
Superpope: you will notice the whale are *whole* so it would be huge cans (like sardines not tuna) I like it, dump the people and I'd buy it. I like the "while stocks last" :) |
|
emeryg on Apr 25 '07 Thanks Bowtie: I must say I did struggle with the fisherman & "scientist" characters for some time and thought of having this as a stand alone packaging design entry but included them to give the can a sense of scale and add a human element to the issue of whaling - I guess if enough people feel they should go they can be deleted?
Also people the can isn't intended to be real to be manufactured purchased, exported or even scanned it’s a t-shirt design & a play on the whales smaller cousin the sardine :) but thanks for your comments! |
 |
kooky love on Apr 26 '07 GREAT $5
|
 |
Fen on Apr 26 '07 dunno if this gets the message through all the way, but a really nice design nonetheless. 5!
|
 |
Excellent job on this one, ticks every box for me and just charming as hell! $5
|
|
i dont really see the anti-whaling message...
but the graphics are FANTASTIC my friend, I love the type & the logo & you got the perspective... wow. I dont think it needs the people, I guess it's bugging me that they're less realistic than the can (heads too big proportionally & stuff). for some reason this makes me think of Futurama- when Fry buys the last ever can of anchovies. |
 |
This is GREAT. Love the graphics, so clean and clear! Oooo gives me pleasure shivers. 5!
|
 |
Flying Mouse on Apr 27 '07 Nice illustration!
|
 |
Great illustration with a social commentary. What more can you ask?
|
 |
wow...amazing. I could see myself wearing this. $5
|
 |
If it were BLOOD instead of just water leaking out of the can, your message would be much clearer.
Now it ain't so clear that the wearer is against whaling.. if worn in Japan, the wearer could even be mistaken to be a fan of whale meat. If that were changed, I'd buy it. And wear it down the streets of Japan IF i ever step foot in it. :) If I forgot to mention, lovely design, great motto. :) |
|
dont understand what this has to do with the band. d othey have a song about canned whales??
|
 |
thought it was glennz at first look
this is really nice |
 |
Don't get rid of the little people. They support your message and add a sense of scale to the design.
You did it perfect this first go-round. |
|
emeryg on Apr 29 '07 Dustyj72 the only thing this has to do with Ted Leo & The Pharamacists is the entry title - "Living with the Living" which these whales are not and may soon be extinct. Also their not afraid to tackle political or sensitive issue in their lyrics so I thought it was a good match.
|
 |
i love it.
(: |
 |
awesome!! $5
messags smessage..it's a cool design. |
 |
Edword on Apr 30 '07 nice illo!!!!
|
|
i prefer the moby whale meat design on the can - id wear that alone
|
 |
yeah i agree about needing the people to give instant scale without having to look really close before you realise they r whales and not sardines in the can.
|
 |
cpdesign on Apr 30 '07 Great concept and execution. 5
|
|
emeryg on Apr 30 '07 Cheers CP - How was The Tribeca Film Fest? I hear it was a star studded line up including your good self!
Thanks for your votes & comments guys if you've got time I've got another entry about to be released called Happy Pills! - Dame you Threadless but your addictive!!!! |
|
I love it! $5!
|
 |
nice illustration! I'd buy this, if the people weren't there. They just .. bug me.
|
 |
i'm very anti-whaling, but wouldn't wear this shirt because it doesn't really make a statement to me.

(Vorernil on Apr 28 '07) "If it were BLOOD instead of just water leaking out of the can, your message would be much clearer." little hesitant to wear this as it might send the wrong message. maybe a very subtle red? otherwise, great design and the scale of the people seems just right to me; whales are kinda big, right? add blood = $5
