I always thought it would be creepy if a dead body was hidden inside a child's snowman. I figure building snowmen are as good old fashion fun as anything else.

This is terrifying, yet strangely alluring.

KnitMongrel on Mar 25 '08

Fantastic. I almost want this as a tattoo. =) $5 for sure!

chelly on Mar 25 '08

ithyrstnolonger on Mar 25 '08

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Love.

leah_bh on Mar 25 '08

It happened in an episode of Pushing Daisies.

Very creepy. I like the way the coal is forming a frowning face on the ground.

generalcabbage on Mar 25 '08

love it

TerdFergusson on Mar 26 '08

Can't say I've ever seen Pushing Daisies, but I've talked about this idea for a couple years now.

FRICKINAWESOME on Mar 26 '08

This is the best idea for the beginning of a mystery novel I've ever seen.

BB_freshII on Mar 26 '08

very cool idea dude!

alien_laneso6 on Mar 26 '08

Imagine putting this in the stairwell at 529 Irving in 3D.

Synthetics on Mar 26 '08

If they print it, I'm buying it.

courtney pie on Mar 26 '08

yea, it was on Pushing Daisies

Spika on Mar 28 '08

haha, this is funny. It tempts me to want to make a snowman with a fake skeleton in it.

5$!

gilbertieluvsu on Mar 28 '08

this is very sweet, yet creepy at the same time................ I LIKE IT!!!!

BaronVonMonkey on Mar 28 '08

Hahaha. Terrifying, yet strangely brilliant. This could be a great premise for like a Christmas special of "Murder, She Wrote"

cherryade on Mar 28 '08

i like this, and it makes me miss pushing daisies.

leah_bh on Mar 28 '08

Thank you! Pushing Daisies. I knew I saw it somewhere.

If anyone hasn't seen this show, you need to. It's awesome.

chlobo107 on Mar 28 '08

That reminds me of a certain Pushing Daises episode...

tobiasfonseca on Mar 29 '08

GREAT! Hey, print this!

thatchick on Mar 29 '08

yeah pushing daisies... but this is actually creepier because in that, there were whole bodies hidden inside snowmen, but this is just a skeleton... so how long has it been there? or did the snowman have a skeletal system? and which would be freakier?

anyway, i love this. $5

Bio-bot 9000 on Mar 29 '08

haha!

the_jcw on Mar 29 '08

cool idea, creepy wrapped in happy, those are some bad kids that made that snowman

kacytron on Mar 29 '08

that is one creative way of hiding a body..

AcidQueen on Mar 30 '08

Yes!

radreb on Mar 30 '08

great for xmas time

AjK47 on Mar 30 '08

huge fan.

katiethepython on Mar 31 '08

I love the text so much I wish it could be printed on the shirt somewhere beside inside with my size. Maybe you could put it on the back or something?

lalayeah on Mar 31 '08

I'm going to be suspicious of every snowman I see from now on.

$5 though.

likeOMFGitsJONNY on Mar 31 '08

With the angle of my screen I see a weird rectangle around the buttons.

bumblebeeman14 on Mar 31 '08

This is bullshit. You've had this idea way before Pushing Daisies came around. I swear, Terd, that satellite is still operational.

Chris Carney on Mar 31 '08

A really good idea but a very average execution. With a bit more imagination and effort this could have been a winner

sspdak on Mar 31 '08

If it said the title on the shirt I would totally buy it.

TerdFergusson on Mar 31 '08

Thanks for support. I messed around a little with adding a few things, like scared kids or more texture. Ultimately, I felt it was better off looking simple and clean. Now it has the kind of mystery factor where you don't know exactly what the story behind this is.

Once again, I've never seen nor heard of Pushing Daisies before people started drawing comparisons.

Art Amelirae on Mar 31 '08

wow that is so creepy in a really cool way

TerdFergusson on Apr 01 '08

I'm shocked the text got over so well. It seems like most threadless users hate text in a design. I suppose it would be up to threadless if they wanted to do something with it.

l1nz on Apr 02 '08

i love it!

i do see the rectangular box around the buttons as well.
