   Well, they can’t be right 100% of the time. Eventually the mob mentality loses.

    i ordered a sweet frenden illustration with a penis chin on a shirt for 10 bucks

    thebutcher said 5 months ago

    yeah i mean i can post a list of who bought the shirt and we can out those claiming never to be manticores with medals. i am not knocking the manticores at all but at least have loyalty/heart to stand for what you believe in. that’s what our country lacks.

    Totally didn’t realize the wiener chin, but I was buying it because I dig the sweet Frenden illo, as well.

    scapyyy said 5 months ago

    yeah i wanted a shirt cause of the illustration and because of the fact it stood for emptees, and im a geek when it comes to collecting shirts with good art on it.

    the medals were lame.

    gameyy said 5 months ago

    Nah, I don’t at ALL regret being a part of the Manticores. To say they’re an epic fail is a little ridiculous, really. Think of the folks that really deserved the ousting - kids like Clint English and more recently Adolph. I’d like to think that they both learned a severe lesson in ripping work. There’s a lot of power in that, and I think for awhile it was used fairly and for a good cause. And it’s empowering to know that other designers have your back when your work is stolen.

    I just feel that recently some folks have taken the Manticore title and dragged it through the mud, and I don’t really want to be tied up with it anymore. But if someone gets ripped off here and asks for help, I’ll most certainly be there for them, just without my badge.

    manticores have a good foundation. some people in the organization do things more extreme/radical than others- anything involving a group of people is going to cause controversy. it’s just like any other body of people (church, government, etc.) you just have to remain focused on the original purpose and keep doing your thing. i’m stoked on my 10 dollar mint aa shirt!

    ps i thought the medals were lame, thus i did not add one to my avatar.

    pss 10 dollar obey shirts at urban online, thus tonight rules.

    good call. way to put it down gamey.

    I expect a picture of Jimmy sitting on a beach chair on some island (much like the end of Office Space) counting his manticore stash and laughing.

    hell yeah I still want my shirt! I dont think it was an epic fail because there were some people really doing good things on calling people out and trying to keep the business honest... then there were those others who had no idea what the hell people were arguing about and just wanted to get in on stuff.

    one of those things where an individual is smart but a group is dumb situations...

    Time to start a behind-the-scenes elite mercenary group? Maybe yes.

    if people just emailed people they had issues with over artwork
    instead of posting a thread to earn some kind of respect this place would be alot calmer

    you can say oh it started out well but im sure the nazis will say there intentions were good :] hahah maybe a bit extreme

    lets just stop "calling people out" this isnt so you thought we wouldnt notice this is a place to learn from others and admire awesome tees not to see who can point out the worst theif

    i come on this site and i will always check the new tees section before even looking at the forum

    i think the tees have took a back seat to the forum and that sucks

    gonehoggin84 said 5 months ago

    If the manticores pick and choose who they out then yes it is an epic fail and that is exactly what has been happening. Its only an "Assemble the Manticores" call when someone who isn’t well respected has done the mis deed in ripping anothers hard work. Why even have the manticores if this is the case?

    I guess there needs to be a new "code". When I see a rip of someone I am fond of I will tell them. If they want to make a post thats fine.

    uuuuuuhhhhhhh I guess thats all

    totally.
    I’m a manticore thru and thru! hell! I was the one that PICKED Manticore for the title!
    But seriously, when it becomes a pick and choose situation, it becomes weak. If you’re going to "out" every person that rips another person’s artwork, then you can’t go "oh well i like that person too much to do that to them" and still be credible.
    Don’t we all have designing to do?
    get back to work, slackers.

    my medal’s not coming off, I’m proud to say I was as professional as possible when it came to rips. The ONLY person I flipped out on was adolf jackson and he deserved every bit of it.

    word, i kept mine til i changed avatars, but my manticore emblem is still on my profile.

    Can’t just let people rip. It’s an effective deterrent. Got out of hand, sure, but I think disbanding is dumb, Im still a core.....and I have both the shirts so meh.

    wotto said 3 months ago

    I am not 100% sure what happened in the end but I like the Manticores. This industry needs people to call out others. It’s a good idea and I think gameyy is right, we should all be looking out for eachother when it comes to rips.

    Huh? I personally dig the tee off. The art always was and should be the focus of this site, and there is some mad awesome art that is created and posted because of the tee off. I don’t get how anyone could think of it as a fail.

62. 

    thebutcher said 3 months ago

    well if art was the primary concern rather than stipulations, i wouldn’t feel this way.
