[William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet] // Option 1: with cursing // Option 2: without cursing // Works in many colour combos

Woah, looks like Shakespeare is sportin' a wicked mullet! I actually like the word "shenanigans". Much zanier sounding, just like good ol' shakes intended his plays to be like! I'm not too found of your color combo, but the dumbing down of classic material is quite funny indeed and reminds me of Denis Leary's summary of The Doors movie, "I'm drunk. I'm nobody. I'm drunk. I'm famous. I'm drunk. I'm fuckin' dead."

Title should read: "Star cross'd lovers take their life", my mistake. Regarding the copycat accusations, it's the classic shakespeare image, remember there were no cameras at that time, so I did my best to try to bring his image into a design...

Sweet.and.Snarky
Sweet.and.Snarky on Nov 21 '06
oh man I want this. I actually really hate this play so it works out for me to blatantly make fun of it on a t. I really wish it were a different color though. So $4 for now, $5 if there were more color options.
wretchmuffin
wretchmuffin on Nov 21 '06
I sincerely love the idea and with equal sincerity hate the aqua on yellow combo.

"Shit" is a nice old word, but I could wear it to work if it said "stuff." "Shenanigans" is nice, but only if you use "ensue" after it.

The head of shakespeare doesn't look realistic enough, maybe its the hair..

I think i like option two better in color and context. Although i think 1 is a tad funnier, i'd wear 2. I'd five this for both but i'd only buy 2.

thanx for the great feedback! and as I posted before, Cream+Wine is a colour option too, and, since it's a 1 colour design, it works in many many different combos...

mukai
mukai on Nov 23 '06
the curse makes it more negative sounding, whereas "stuff" makes it sound more generic, like it could be good or bad.

i personally don't wear clothes with bad words on them, and i'm sure there are other people like that too, but do what you want.

wow $5 i love this.
i'd probably have to go with option 2 so i can wear it to school, but option 1 owns.
thedarrien

I love this! I like "shit" better, it makes it sound more informal. "Shenanigans ensue" sounds too cutesy.

I think the idea is cool, but it's much too plain for me.

I like the colors of option 2 the best, but don't censor yourself.
Samanthaaarrrgggghhhh
Samanthaaarrrgggghhhh on Nov 23 '06
Or if you don't want to curse, put "yadda yadda yadda" in place of "stuff happened"
willypiva
willypiva on Nov 23 '06
"Shenanigans" seems too cute to me... I haven't thought of "yadda yadda yadda", sounds cool, but I think it'll look repetitive... you can wear your shirts on the weekend!!! hehe thanx for leaving your opinions everyone!

Black over grey would look good... as long as the design colour is darker that the shirt, the combinations are infinite... well not infinite, but, whatever... ;)

Yeah, with the swearing you'd lose out on all the highschool kids who can't wear it to school. I love the concept but I'm not wild about the yellow/blue...maybe a grey/white?

Although it is nearly the same color as the Married to the Sea shirt (a brighter yellow), and Shakey is in the same position. Might want to change one or the other to avoid the very obvious similarities.

Just for the record, I didn't even know of the existance of Married to the Sea... by no means it's a copycat, just one of the classic shakespeare's images, redrawn, and with a 100% different concept... anyways, thanx for the support everyone
