Father & Son T-Shirt

Oh yes! Great design! :D

Stunning
You sure you don’t want to get into the poster market?
Love the colour

Oh…by the way
The father of all bombs is the dirt bomb.

I enjoy the use of frames, and then extending past them. And the colours are fun, you’ve been a little black and white for a while now old chap. The inferno is very well done, but you probably know that already.
What can I say? Impressively thoughtful and well executed as per usual.

Many thanks all,
I`m hoping the dirt bomb remains the most popular too.
I have been a bit fascinated with the purety of black and white for a while now, but I seem to be very cyclic, and I must be coming back into a colour phase.

destruction has never looked so gorgeous! fantastic work scott!

Father Robot : “Now listen son, you have supreme destructive capabilities and I want you to know that your mother and I are very proud”

Bomb Son : “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM”

Father Robot [coughing mechanically] : “Awwww … destructive but so cute.”

I agree, family interaction is very important.

Looks equally as good on olive, brown and navy.

Mind Blowingly Awesome!!

F#$%Kn Amazing!

Sure hope father & son will be making it on to more shirts soon :)

Nice work as usual matey:)

rare correct use of russian language. where did you lift it from?

why does russia still remain the obvious recognisable symbol of imminent nuclear threat- powwerful enough to evoke an emotional response from anyone ‘western’, when it was ‘the other team’ who’s development and use of atomic weapons on a civilian population, twice, (after the capitualtion of the oppsition in a war they had already won), established themselves as a threat to whom a nuclear deterant was neccessary (if hiroshima, why not leningrad?).

maybe t.v. affected us all too much when we were kids

Mister Khan, I don`t hail from the generation where the Russians were a symbol of imminent nuclear threat, moreso just the perceived bad-guys in crappy 80`s action films.

This whole design was inspired by the recent Russian development of the worlds largest non-nuclear explosive, and the tag of “father of all bombs” that was attached to it in the media.

Dissapointly enough, the Russian text was generated though an online translator.

i hail from the generation when the decepticons were the perceived bad-guys and dangermouse was protecting london from certain doom, but i also remember glasnost and perestroika on the t.v. and arms treaties on the news when my parents were watching it. ‘communist’ was a word we played with as an insult in the playground (1987) wiothout understand ing what it was (there was also an ongoing battle between fans of sega and fans of nintendo, though only three kids actually had a mastersystem). russians were these weird foreign race who were certainly parahuman, constantly featuring in adult t.v. shows and films as faceless mind-altered automats who were just clearly wrong, bad and dangerous (the faceless enemy pilots in ‘top gun’, for instance)

i remember geting a big gaia peace atlas for my tenth birthday which had sturdy illustrations showing how many many kids were dying each hour in africa and how many times the world could be knocked out by the soviet arsenal.

i think anybody over the age of 20 born west of the berlin wall hails from a generation where the russian’s were a symbol of imminent threat- just we soaked it all up passively. surely that’s why the russian bomb story had such resonance with you and prompted the work?

have you heard about the new triple warhead icbms they’tre developing with their new-found wealth specifically designed to breach the u.s’s missile defense shield?

in the seventies they simply loaded every other warhead with 10,000’s of steel nuts to cause a signiature cloud and thoroughly confuse any radar systems that might be trying to locate incoming warheads.

Hmmm… You know, maybe I have soaked up a little more fear than I`m willing to admit, especially seeing as I recall some of your examples a lot clearer than I expected.

The top gun pilots, and anything to do with the A-team jump to mind quite readily. If anyone from the movies of the time had a Russian accent you knew he couldn`t be trusted, although at the time I produced this, I did think that it was the absurdity of tying together of the word “father”, which I`ve always seen as a protective or nurturing force with something as destructive as an explosive which pushed me forward. I may not be as clear in my influences as I believe.

A most informative and enlightening conversation with you Mr Khan..

and if it was american they’d have called it ‘the mother of all bombs’

in russia they refer to their country as both ‘the fatherland’ and ‘the motherland’- fatherland in relation to anything military, motherland in relaition to agriculture and education.

in english we refer to patriotism when we refer to justification of military action, and in russia they do the same, except we’ve forgotten that ‘pater’ and ‘father’ mean the same thing in our language.

in russian, not having the whole latin thing going on quite as strong, they just have отец (ahhh-tyets)

the 2nd world war in russia just doesn’t exist. it’s called ‘the great patriotic war’, or ‘the great war of the fatherland’, depending which way you want to read it. means the same thing anyhow.

when considering russian attitude towards war one must remember their history is a little bit harsher than the average empire- statistically they’ve had more home matches than away fixtures, which is ironic considering their ‘threatening’ reputation. vikings first cut their way from the north west, then mongols sort of got all the way to the swedish border (and i think we all know what sort of behaviour they were famous for. (i’ve seen the bones of 12th century monks in piles in catacombs in the ukraine. they spared the women. 3 in a hundred russians are related to genghis khan himself.)

then 1812 and napoleon marched all the fucking way to moscow, and torched it.

and then there was the biggy. the ‘great patriotic war’- i was taken a back too when i learned it wasn’t called ww2 there. i was incensed. where was the repspect to the spitfire and barnes wallace and everythnig. but it was sort of different in russia. those sort of nice little details get lost in all the blood.

a couple of highlights for you.

in the three year leningrad siege, the 3 million population of st. petersburg was reduced to 1.3million. (that’s three long winters at upto -25 degrees without power or food.). 2.7 million dead.

battle of stalingrad, 1.5 million killed in a couple of weeks (okay, including 750,000 germans but you wouldn’t want to clean up, would you)

battle of moscow- 1million soviets died, half a million germans. nazi’s got about 15 km from the city centre and then the weather beat them.

battle of kursk- 2 million men and 6,000 tanks go head to head in the biggest motorized battle that there will probably ever be.

now imagine ‘stalingrad’ was ‘adelaide’ or, or ‘moscow’ was ‘sydney’ etc. they were just normal cities with normal people living normal, happy lives. kindergartens, old people. pretty young girls who’d never been kissed.

and brits go dewy eyed over the blitz (10,000 or so killed), and the fucking americans get hard ons about pearl harbour (about 2,500, and it’s nowhere fucking near america) and their twin fucking towers (3000)?. not a single enemy soldier has ever landed on their shores.

they don’t know what it is like and they have no right to take it to the shores of others.

with this sort of ‘imminent threat’ nailed into the national psyche of russia (victory day is still celebrated proudly, whilst the rest of the world ‘remembers’), is it any wonder the soviets took over the whole of eastern europe (they regard rather that they ‘won’ eastern europe, which is what war is all about i guess) and built up such an enormous arsenal, and continue to do so, so that nobody will ever, ever, ever dare step on their soil again. that is why they have a nuclear deterrant.

and with china on one border. india on another and pretty much the whole of eurasia’s metals and hydrocarbons under their control, they have to. the chinese are already sneaking their border westwards.

why america still pointing missiles at them god only knows, old ways die hard i guess, but then again in god they trust so they must be right.

i think in this context the father of all bombs is there to protect his children. i don’t think it was ever designed with the purpose of actually ever being used. and that’s where russian and american histories are assymetrical. america has shown the world it is willing to use atomic mass-destructive weapons in hostile acts against civilian targets on the other side of the planet. twice.

(footnote- i was really surprised when i learnt all this stuff cos i thought the second world war was all about people with nice moustaches shooting at each other in really far off places for some abstract reason. my grandad was posted to bombay for fucks sake, where he learnt how to do wheelies and mix the perfect gin and tonic. my ex-wife’s dad remembers watching german troops burn all the houses in his village, whilst hiding up a tree. he was five.)

battle of kursk

What a fucking blowhard^

Nice tee design scott :)

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! One of my faves on all of Redbubble.

Scott, this is just awesome mate!

Look at all of these words that have appeared here.
Still one of the best shirts on the bubble.

“we have the technology
:)

Damn, that was great MuscularTeeth

Lovin’ it.

Cool! I’d like to see some of the comics u’ve worked on! Or if u’ve made ure own comic book! U workin on one?

I like very much comments of Mr Khan, very thoughtful and excellent educational words for the new generation of teens who luckily don’t know the experience what is real war is about.
It is interesting interpretation from both sites: Mr Robinson like many artist play with team of atomic bomb and produced very political poster, Mr Khan gave us awesome historical details the reason why Russian’s has to be strong and and keep one, who wish to rule there country in fear not to mess up with them.
Your work deserved to go to my favorites, as it is very thoughtful piece of art.

Awesome T ..cool design

I love the colouring.

It seems like you provoked quite a discussion. Thank you :)

I just LOVE this design!

really impressive cool work :D

mate this is awesome!
