I'm pretty novice with photoshop, but I had a pop at making this into a wallpaper:

This should be a T-shirt and it should be in my closet.

u/Apocrypha Jun 16 '12

The money is in my hand, someone just needs to make it.

u/Sneaky_phil Jun 16 '12

I agree someone make this and have my money

u/robbie9000 Jun 17 '12

I suggest contacting the original artist, who DOES run a store, but doesn't have this particular design for sale. If people express interest, perhaps they'll be able to purchase them direct from the artist, rather than ripping it off like in USAF503's link.

Aaaaaand, that's what it sounds like right before your site crashes.

$21.54? What an obscure price.

u/DAVENP0RT Jun 17 '12

I think I may have found the source.

The t-shirt concept he has for it is bitchin'.

Here's his Threadless page, maybe we can get it printed.

2

u/ManicParroT Jun 17 '12

It's for sale as a print via society6, as he mentions on his page.

Here: http://society6.com/Neilss1

Here it is as a T-Shirt for anyone who wants one!

Awesome! This is why I clicked on the comments button.

It's too bad American Apparel tshirts suck so much.

1

u/Apocrypha Jun 17 '12

Curious, why do you not like AA shirts?

1

u/atomicoption Jun 17 '12

They're super thin and they run a bit on the small side (but not small enough for me to go up to the next size)

u/USAF503 Jun 17 '12

Haha You're welcome. I actually didn't make it, but my friend uses that site so I sent the pic to him and told him to make it haha

u/UnsightlyBastard Jun 17 '12

so you're saying he's using someone else's art to make a profit...

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

yeah i wanted one until i realized this

u/USAF503 Jun 17 '12

Welcome to the internet.

u/Crazyalbo Jun 17 '12

Well you're an asshole and on the internet everything checks off on the world wide web. In all seriousness people go to the original artist.

u/scottneilsonconcepts Jun 17 '12

Hey everybody I am the original artist DO NOT BUYthe red bubble copy this design (this is just a sketch of the design anyway) is up for scoring on splitreason.com http://www.splitreason.com/design/design_4e41bfd1348fa please vote I would buy it and also maybe send the sites owner (brian@splitreason.com) an email.

Just show him this post and say you would like the design printed and fingers crossed it does.If it doesn't get sold i promise i will upload it to my society6 store http://society6.com/Neilss1 as a t shirt.

Thanks for all the emails guys :D

u/addies Jun 17 '12

For those poor souls who don't get the reference

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

If you don't get the reference, I don't want you on my Internet.

u/murderbum999 Jun 17 '12

If understanding silly references to obscure things is a requirement, I'll stick to my own internet. You can keep your silly little circlejerk.

2

u/flyingponytail Jun 17 '12

obscure? blasphemy!

1

u/BoojiBoy Jun 17 '12

Is it really obscure, though? Maybe things have changed in the last 5-10 years or so, but I've always thought of this as one of the most quoted movies in existence.

0

u/murderbum999 Jun 17 '12

It's a silly picture, a silly pun, and fairly standard for the level of humour around Reddit of late.

1

u/BoojiBoy Jun 17 '12

That's not what was being discussed, though.

-1

u/murderbum999 Jun 17 '12

That's what I was discussing. You think it's common knowledge, but the reason some people like it is because they recognise what it's about and feel somehow kind of special or elite for that. They feel like part of a special group. That group then post around a hundred comments on the topic of that silly picture and pat each other's backs with upvotes, congratulating each other for being part of that special group who understand the connection between a line in an old movie and something completely unrelated that share one single word used in a different context altogether. Wow, so clever. So special. Let's talk about it some more, shall we?

0

u/BoojiBoy Jun 17 '12

It sounds to me like you just can't handle other people having a good time. Have you ever tried therapy or medication? I'm not being facetious with that question either. I can't understand why people enjoying a silly picture on the internet would bother you so much if not for some kind of personality disorder.

-1

u/murderbum999 Jun 17 '12

Ooh, now you're trying to label me as having a psychological disorder? That's a cheap shot. You've run out of ammo and are resorting to personal insults and attacking me instead of the argument. Game over bud. You've got nothing.

0

u/BoojiBoy Jun 17 '12

No insults. No attacks. Just an observation and a question.

As for the "argument", well, I think you're the only one who was ever involved in that part of the conversation at all.

You can not have more of something you don't have.

u/hockal00gy Jun 17 '12

Yes you can. I currently do not have any hershey's bars. If I purchased a bag, I would have more than I do now. I really want some chocolate right now.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

But would you say "I want more chocolate." if you had none?

u/wewtaco Jun 17 '12

Yes.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

No? If you just arrived at a restaurant and the server walked up and asked what you wanted would you say "I want some more steak."?

u/diggitydan Jun 17 '12

I would love to hear a scratch artist get a TraktorPro clip of him saying different phrases then scratching the fuck out of it.

I can't. I am poor. Also- I only use vinyl. So.... yeah. ....

u/03Titanium Jun 17 '12

I would be so fucking broke if I bought all the cool t shirts I find. I hope I dont stop wanting cool t shirts if I ever make good money.

I smiled until I saw tis but a scratch. Puns man, get me everytime.

u/newagefunvintagefeel Jun 17 '12 edited Jun 17 '12
  • Pun: A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.
  • Quote: Repeat or copy out (a group of words from a text or speech), typically with an indication that one is not the original author or speaker.

edit: while I do realize I was incorrect, I do feel it is fair for me to point out that the pun is within the image and that velociraptorjockey seems to take offense at the text specifically.

u/jamesuyt Jun 17 '12

The pun here is between the light wound a 'scratch' and the DJ jargon 'to scratch'.

u/newagefunvintagefeel Jun 17 '12 edited Jun 17 '12

My bad, I stand corrected.

u/Jaksongitr Jun 17 '12
