the same technology
This was inspired a while ago by the satirist and comedian Bill Hicks, who was, in my humble opinion, a genius, if a little perverted.
He’s dead. At 36. From pancreatic cancer. But I think he was assassinated by the FBI because it makes a better story.
Anyway, he was most prolific during the first Gulf War, and he had a sketch where he talked about the incredible accuracy of smart bombs to knock the fillings out of the teeth of the enemy, and he wondered how they couldn’t use the same technology to shoot food at hungry people.

This made me laugh. The choice of banana as food bomb is superb.
It’s pretty funny really, so was/is Bill, though I’d never heard of him till you mentioned him somewhere else once (can’t remember where). Thanks for that.

Totally comment you on the text work here, I know how bloody hard something like that is to pull off…
The bananas just make me giggle, Quite the fun design really, with a little dark undercurrent.

Still got it

To put it concisely, the typography, I adore.
A little tongue-in-cheek…
With naturally endearing bananas.

Only Lucan and Andy Warhol can make a banana look stylish … besides that its all monkeys and jungle fauna.

As always, you guys blow the competition right out of the water! I like the way this image looks so simple (important for t-shirt designs), but as you look at it, you realise that there’s text to be read and a message to be conveyed.
Great stuff! :)
InfiniteChaos
Intelligent.

Your penchant for brilliant Tees is getting boring. Great design.
MSixty
This is like the perfect t shirt, you should create a poster / wall art with it as well!

Yesterday i was given a Bill Hicks DVD, and on it is the reference to your design. Very very funny man. I was always somewhat aware of him through listening to Tool, but i had never heard much of his comedy. Great shirt, great comedy sketch.

all the vulcan is good for. what have you got against bananas. they never did anythnig to anybody. better off dropping hungry children directly into ‘pick your own’ farms in the north of france. that’d kill about 12 birds with a single stone, (and possibly a few children)

cool tee

Your homage to his artistry reflects his message perfectly…”Smart Fruit”
