Big skull t-shirt

Threadless contributor Stuart Colebrook created this "Bone Idol" t-shirt design. I dig it because it's very simple yet highly effective.

That'd be awesome to have. Unfortunately, it's only currently available in kid's sizes.

Cool concept, but skull iconography is such a beaten dead horse by now! Please give up and try again with something else.

I probably encounter that "classic" green and black MISFITS skull t-shirt about 40 times per day - worn on everybody from infants to (grey and aging) 70's punkers.

I think skull iconography really took off in the early 1990s. as talented Mexican and Central American immigrant artists began settling in forward-thinking metropolitan areas of the USA

Almost every distinct social segment of American culture now sports some sort of DAY OF THE DEAD artistic motif (bikers, rockers, tattoo fans, goths, soccer moms, meth addicts, etc)

It's great that the realities of death have become so very accepted, that death and skull and graveyard graphic motifs are commonplace sights in our everyday culture.

So tell me: do you find that being easily bored motivates you to seek out more interesting pursuits?

Oh sorry, I didn't realize the simplicity of my comment was going to be a judgment of character. At the risk of countering smarmy with smarmy, I'll state that my 'yawn' was a universally existential one born out of frustration of repetitive design, agreeing with previous posters about how this skull icon has been played to death (Irony or coincidence? Perhaps, neither).

Funny thing is, I got all this across in my previous post but it would seem that I have to qualify myself now. I think the moderator was just bored. The holidays can stress a person out. I understand and forgive you.

Now watch me get banned.

JUST ONE GUY -

You didn't get banned, so Christmas message board miracles DO happen!

Translated into English: "I don't like the flavor of this free ice cream."

(Thanks, Cory.)

You krazy kidz. Slapping each other around over a freaking T shirt. With extra helpings of smarm and patronization! Here, let me help: You're ALL forgiven!

Now, in the immortal words of Moe Howard: "Recede!"
