Sep 8 2008The Legend Of Fashion: Painted Link Shirt

link-shirt-1.jpg

Geekologie reader and soon to be eBay Power Seller Vahn painted a Link t-shirt and is now selling it.

The painting was done with high quality artist acrylic paints, with textile paint medium to adhere the paints to the fabric. It was been coated with a safe acrylic varnish so the paint doesn't come off with gentle washing, and it has been ironed for permanence. I did use some metallic paints, so the art is not completely flat.

The bidding starts at $10 and there is a reasonable $4 shipping charge. Unlike some of the asshats on eBay that sell shit for $0.99 and then charge $20 shipping. In unrelated news, my girlfriend once bought a clock from the thrift store, then donated it back. Then bought it again. Then donated it again. Then bought it again. Then I freaking smashed it.

Hit the jump for a close up of Link's mug as well as a link(!) to the auction.

Frist!

ebay has made it so that anyone who has water colors and an easel can be f***ing fashion designer. I'm sorry but you'd have to show me much higher quailty to make me think your not a douchnozzle

The "art" is shit.

I sneer at your lack of talent.

F***er. I should buy this, then f***ing burn it on a video, then ask for donations from other pros who love seeing art destroyed. I'll make dozens of dollars.

Apparently Vahn spent the money his mom saved for art lessons on something else. This looks nothing like Link. It looks more like lance link secret chimp.

@#3- you're just a riot.

Wow...it looks like you got a free t-shirt paint by numbers kit, and somehow managed to butcher that. Do us all a favor and paint yourself some crappy looking camo and hide in the woods for the rest of your life so we dont have to see anymore things from the reject house of crap.

WTF. link looks like a goddamn asian goat. that's some f***ed up shit right there.

The inherent issue with painting artistic video-game art: There is a direct market for such an item here at Geekologie, but unfortunately, it will never be good enough for the geekiest of people who would actually wear such art. Since I was never a really big fan of Zelda, I give it an 8.5 out of 10 (mostly because it totally reminds me of the Xandir character on Drawn Together and he's friggin hilarious).

Good work, my friend.

yea.....

ew.....

The jaw line is all wrong.

I'd still make sweet sweet love to it though.

That is f***ing awful. It just proves that if you put a shitty picture of some little bitch fanboys favourite character of anything, it will sell. What a f***ing joke.

yeah, proportions are all off..definitely not that impressive. but if there are some retards that will buy this for an unusually high price, i think i may have found a new job.

I painted this. I'm pretty much the best artist ever.

Ok, it's Xandir from Drawn Together. It's not Link. And it's definitely not worth 10 bucks. Sorry Geekologie guy, but how does this merit a post?

Isn't it cheaper to just wear a sign that says "Beat me unmercifully"?

So Napoleon Dynamite paints T-shirts now? Terrible. Someone please stop this jerk from making anything else. Anything else.

2, 3, 4, 6, 11: saem person

@14: You have to agree this is by far better than those Marvel sneakers posted a ways back. And the LOZ sneakers. And the felted Link. And a... Aww, screw it. There's a ton of weird shit on here.

hahahahahahah 17 you think im 2,3 4, and 11? why is that, you know it is possible for multiple people to hate peices of shit "art". you my friends are an idiot. trust me I wouldnt use the term fanboy like 11, although i am jealous of 2's use of the word douchenozzle...i hadnt heard that before, its my new favorite word

Well, for one, it's not hard to type in different styles when you're pretending to be someone that you're not. Also, if you've never heard douchnozzle, you're definitely 12 years old. And if you're 12, you're likely to be an angsty bitch who just hit puberty. Your balls probably itch like mad, and to make you seem like you're dropping lulz, you've decided, "I have the best plan of my life! I'll post... as multiple people!"

Also, multiple people can hate different bunches of things, but you are a complete moron.

"...you my friends are an idiot..."

I lol'd hard.

also did anyone notice the ghostish writing across the chest? i wonder what used to be there, i asked the seller, i'll let you know if he responds to me

That is the ugliest shirt painting I have ever seen on ebay.
No offense (to anyone else, because I'm very offended).

Did he want to paint Link while looking at a distorted mirror and on the verge of saying something?

It would probably sell if he only did the Triforce.
But in his mind he just had to paint in Link... he just had to.

Why is there a banana attached to the left side of his face?

...youmom...dude...just wow. look you got you got called out on being a complete tard in thinking people are posting as multiple people. I think you take such offense because you secretly like the shirt...why else would you pick out all the people who say it sucks and say they are the same person. I also like how for some reason you started ranting about 12 year old boys itchy balls, just cus i havent heard of douchenozzle, that rant kind of made no sense. and fyi im 20 not 12. my balls have in fact drop, but yes my balls do itch like mad, tell your mom if she wants to f*** me again to clear up her crabs.

and dont say lol...it makes you look like a faggot

Eeewwwwww

This shirt looks like shite. Smudgey nose, banana ears, completely wrong proportions on everything. I've never seen so much fail on a shirt.

whoever made this sucks and should never paint again

@23 LOL

PS, it still sucks.

@23: Wait, I didn't say that your balls haven't dropped or that they just dropped. I said you have itchy balls. Meaning, puberty, etc. I don't believe you're 20 because you didn't understand that. You have to be 12. Absolutely. Plus, fagot has one g, and "lol" is different from "I lol'd," fruitcake.

Plus, you fail at lulz. gb2failtown, /a/ss.

I am an artist, and that shirt makes me want to puke.

Or am I not up on current fashion trends.... Are downs syndrome faces in these days?

Do the kids still say "hip" ??

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have read all of your comments, and even though many of you hate it, I do want to thank you for typing up replies. For the record, I did reply to theloneuskool on Ebay, and I'll also sum up a couple of things here.

I'm not a professional artist and I will never be, but with everything I do, I learn something and no worries--I won't draw with this style anymore, and I can tell you what happened... I tried mixing two styles. Even though it's not perfect, I'm still proud of it.

Also, about the text you see on top of the images: I do this to almost every image I put online. It's my watermark.

Also, please feel free to critique my work. I read all comments on my work, and I'm open to trying new things.

Okay so it's not that great, but it's better than what a lot of these asshats above me can do I'm sure.

I mean I don't like it at all. I first thought a girl drew it because of the look on his face, but yeah. I could rant about it but I won't because I'm sure this took a lot of time and effort. The colors are great and something like this hand-done, one s shirt, is awesome. I couldn't imagine painting or drawing anything on a shirt.

Your Mom...THIS IS GOD...PEW PEW PEW PEW.

THAT IS ALL

ROTFL@23 faggot is spelled w/ 2 g's dummy, and lol'd is just past tense of lol...why are people so stupid these days

LMAO...NOT 23 I MEAN 27...wow im dumb

I love how people can find pretty much anything to argue about. Lmfao.

Vahn,

Keep your chin up, art is hard.

That being said, have you considered a job at McDonalds? This is simply dreadful.

Cheers

Vahn,

Thanks for your pledge to never use this style again. My eyeballs thank you.

One question I have though, is why you painted Link as a head on a naked spine, as if he was dipped in acid to the neck, until his spine was exposed.

I suggest you start with mega man, and work your way up to Mario and Luigi, and then link.

DMB

PS, Did you know link invented the internet and web browser? That's why we are always clicking on link.

Guys, fagot and faggot are both words. Fagot is the term for bundling, but in British English, it's apparently also spelled faggot, but of course, in the whole English language, faggot is the term for gay... You can look into this, too, but there are two ways to spell it based on locale and intention. Etc.

@30: Thank you, actually.

@35: Backhanded compliment, but thanks. Also, the McDonalds over here is overstaffed at the moment, if you're curious (and yes, I have a work history).

@36: I didn't know what you were talking about at first, until I tuned the brightness of my monitor down... a lot. I laughed pretty hard, but no, it's not his spine. If you can't see his green shirt, I think it's time for a new monitor or a new pair of glasses. (I'm still smiling over that, though.) Also, PS brought no lulz. Back to the drawing board.


Maybe the problem is a typo.

We all assumed Vahn is an artist when in fact he's autistic.

Considering the reply comments, and his helpful correction on the spelling of fagot it seems like the most plausible explanation.

That's very nice work for a retard. Now promise you won't beat me up with your superhuman retard strength.

Last time I checked, Link didn't look like a coked out pedophile.

@38: That didn't even make any sense. At all. I'm doubting if you're half as intelligent as you think you are, just because that was completely nonsensical and uncalled for. I'm guessing you forgot how to scroll up and reread, but don't worry, that's forgivable. I'm sure you've done it in the past, so just try to remember next time, okay?

If your reading this I am dead. I have choked death by my own Link shirt and what I thought were smart and snappy comments. I have been shown the error of my ways and will now be return to my home planet, with She-ra, and the forehead of Garfields owner Jon. There I will be cremated into Crayola paints in which to do more finger painting with. I love you guys with all my heart...theres just one thing you gotsta remember...I'm dead.

Sincerely,

The Blunch Black Of Blotre Blame

41: Isn't that the most hypocritical thing I've seen all day. Hi, Douchie.

@42 - It wasn't me

@40 - I just checked out the ebay auction, and its up to $20.50. You can't hope for much more than that.

It also says you are from Woodside, NY. Perhaps you could paint some famous NY Mets players. Here' some help.

I'm gonna bid on the shirt, and if I win, I'm gonna soak it in bleach, and then tie dye it.

So, the 'artist' reads this page regularly? And I'm assuming the artist sent the link to Geekologie in hopes that it would be featured?

Is the artist surprised that it has been ripped like it has? All of the shoes featured looked leagues better than this and were ripped to shreds.

I'm an aspiring artist, but would never show my work to these vultures.

Remember Vahn, an opinion is worth nothing unless paid for.

certainly men's accessories look good in wearing any dress. when i attend some wedding, i don't know the accessories to have i choose the cuff links borrow from a friend. i am happy noone notice the design of the cufflinks, i accidentaly wear the male organ design one as my accessory. hahaha
