That looks fantastic! I hope he is sending you the original painting.

I'm really happy with how it's turned out - should make an excellent shirt.
In regards to the original, it's likely the artist will sell it (something I'm happy with) though I may consider putting in my own bid. Considering he's provided the art for free, I think this is fair. Regardless of who it ends up with, I'd hope it's a Fourtheye reader!

Let me know when that time comes. I will be more than happy to promote it. Are you doing unisex tees or will ladies tees be available.

I think Tool should buy it for you, least they could do. Judging from his other originals for sale, the artist is being quite reasonable in pricing.
But if they won't, we (the FourthEye community) should. Put up a donation link! Seriously.

What will probably happen in the coming weeks (timeline tbc as I'm pretty busy for the next couple of weeks):
- I'll get in touch with a few T-Shirt providers to get an idea of cost (one has already been suggested to me by a Fourtheye reader, but I'm still open to suggestions)
- Once I have an idea of cost (I'm expecting around $20 + postage), and what my minimum purchase should be I'll most likely get a Kickstarter (or something similar going).
- Those who kickstart I'll most likely throw some Fourtheye Membership at.
- I might have a funding goal of a certain amount which would enable me to purchase the painting. We'll see.
- Once the minimum order has reached, shirts will be ordered and mailed out!
For Kitty - I'll be exploring shirt options and plan to have a ladies tee. Stay tuned!

Good plan. Tell Frank you have right of first refusal on the original!

Agreed I would get in on that. Should end up hanging on HB's wall. Down to help.

I'm in if the shipping to US is reasonable.
And I'll definitely be in if the shirt manages to poke fun at the band- something like the memes that are out there.

Current plan is to have the shirts printed and distributed from the US, so I don't expect shipping will be huge. For Aussie orders, I'll probably get them (and any spares) sent to my place and then I'll ship them from here.

No memes on this particular shirt, it'll be largely artwork only, with some text saying Fourtheye.
Open to suggestions for meme shirts though.

Also Frank (the artist) is going to price the poster at $425. Well out of my price range at the moment. If you guys want to donate or pledge some support to help me get it (PM if you're interested), then I'd appreciate it, but don't feel like my life would be incomplete if I don't have it on my wall either!

And a decent scan of the image to be used on the shirt:

Possibly, but would anyone wear one out in public?

Hippies always wear that kind of shit ... surely you have more than your fair share of phish and dead fans around here, no?

I'm not sure I want hippies promoting this fine white collar site.

Haven't had much time to do any real work on the shirt yet. Hopefully after this week life will settle down a little, and I'll be able to get stuck into it.
A couple of straw poll type questions:
- How much would you pay for a Fourtheye shirt?
- Would you rather the shirt be cheap but lower quality, or more expensive and higher quality?
- Would you rather a hoodie instead of a shirt?
Any other requests? Preliminary research shows that getting a variety of styles should be relatively easy, but I'd like to nail it down and present only a small handful of choices.

Exipensive for better quality is my vote. I hate rough cheap shirts and usually cheap shirts tend to shrink on me. Really cool design. I would for sure get one. It's original and something different.

I'd prefer a shirt to a hoodie.

I should add that the hoodie would be an extra option if there was enough interest. There will definitely be a shirt, one male style and one female. I'm trying to get a handle on if any other styles would be of interest.

What color is the shirt going to be?
Fingers crossed for bright orange.

As black as our hopes for a new Tool album in 2016.

That's the spirit!
I think that image would look great on a hoodie.
