it is totally adorable and well drawn, especially on white...but, like others have expressed, I just get a little bit sad with the whole polar paradox that keeps getting illustrated on here. Don't kids watch the discovery channel these days?

This is WEIRD!!! Suddenly we talk about logic / not logic design here!...
don't we realize how many printed / unprinted / coming to print designs in Threadless are mostly without logic but still win coz we all love something to smile when we look at it, don't we? why so serious? =(

Polar bears dont wear masks... even if they had masks, they lack the opposable thumbs to put it on.

this is exquisitely made, but the subject matter is really familiar (penguin/polar bear design # 50 000), so i can't really give you that good of a score on this one. and i'm sorry for that, because i like your work.

It would look better on white because it would look more...uh, "ice-y". (Does that make sense?)
Cute and adorable. I would totally buy it. $5

It's true that the theme isn't so original (polar bears+pinguins) but the story you tell (the bear pretending to be a pinguin) is new, and your style is really good, so 5

And to deep space monkey, please put the image link here & I think everybody want to see how similar it is. I don’t know what to say here but the only thing I can say is BELIEVE me, I didn't copy this idea, just thought of it last week. Was planning to submit this to Tribeca Film Festival theme and I post this design to BLOG FORUM here last week to get more idea/suggestion for this. Last 2 days I saw this Josh Ritter's theme and I feel it suits the theme..

This totally reminds me of the Coca Cola commercial where the penguins are partying with coke and a polar bear cub accidentally slides down in the crowd. Then a cute baby penguin gives the cub a bottle of coke and the party continues.
I'd freaking buy this shirt.

while were talking about logic, i always LOATHED how ILLOGICAL it was for that frigging girl to blow her head off and her brain matter turned into purty butterflies and magical winged things in "Flowers in the Attic"!!! Dammit, 90 percent of the Threadless wharehouse is ruined for me now with its lack of logic...If we don't get our knowledge about physics and geography from cute t-shirt designs, WHERE ELSE could we possibly find it? TEXT BOOKS and a million other places!!! Nah, ive got no time for that.

sort of similar, but reminds me more of the coke commercial. I still love it. we can pretend that the little polar bear floated to the southern hemisphere on a piece of ice that broke off because of global warming.

Farside did it, and it was funnier.
However, this drawing is very well done. It may be inaccurate due to the north/south pole but i still give it a solid 4.
abbster
abbster on Jan 19 '07
Okay, this is a cute design. But it doesn't belong in the Ritter contest. So many of the designs in this competition are based on a pretty abstract concept. In order to really "get" the idea, you have to take the SONGS into account.
Jemae
   Jemae on Jan 19 '07
The theme was created based on the title of the album. From what I understand, it was based on his journey in music industry and that is why it's called "The Animal Years". It was about the challenges he faced to be where he is..

So is the polar bear, he had to go through the difficulty part of imposing as a pinguins to be friends with them..

Anyway, I agree that it will be good if we follow the song, the meaning is deeper.. thanks abbster

And polar bears don't wear masks. But who gives a damn except you? This is a graphic design, not photography. It's not supposed to be real. Use your imagination.
jwalsh

"

i thought naughty by nature in the title meant that he dressed up like that to eat them, not to be friends...?

pls STOP talking about logical or not or the colour of animal..!!! i know u all r clever and educated.... i just have some question to ask, is an elephant can fly? pig can fly? this is just an imagination idea to express a feeling.... take it easy and be happy to enjoy the design... ^________________^
Honlam
Honlam on Jan 22 '07
Yeah, if too logical, no more creative in this world:(
J-Ray
J-Ray on Jan 22 '07
I said it's illogical because of the scale of the bear to penguins. Even in a fantasy world where bears and penguins can co-exist, we need a root of belief in order to find truth. As it is, this exists in the realm of the absurd, and as such, the humor is lost. Very sad indeed!

djdole
djdole on Jan 22 '07
Quite good. I give it a 4.
Would be even better ('5' worthy) if it was available on a white hoodie.
(IMO, any 'northern' or cold related designs should be available on 'warm-wear', ie hoodies, thermals etc)

Would be EXCELLENT (definite $buy) on a white hoodie, with printed poler bear claws on the arm cuffs and printed/stitched-on bear ears on the hood.

SEVEN-HUNDRED on Jan 24 '07
Awesome design mate

Not that it's my place, but, in response to some of the comments above:

Size of the bear: it's obviously a cub

Farside Cartoon: Who cares? The standard of the illustration is far superior to Gary Larsons (not that i'm starting on him, he has a style that works very well and sticks to it) I just feel this style of illustration underlines the absurdness of the situation better.

North/South debate: Get real, if your bickering over this, then your overlooking the fact that the bear has a plastic, vacuum formed mask of a species it would have never have seen.

And a final comment: if polar bears and penguins did exsist in the some place, the idea (and The Farside one) wouldn't be funny.

And another final comment - if your still not satisfied, consider this angle... maybe the bear sneaked into the penguin enclosure in the zoo.

Again mate - awesome 5 $
