Pet My Monkey
Here is the Home Improvement Monkey silkscreen t-shirt design, 1.0. It still needs some work, but I think I ought to be ready to take orders by next week. Now, here is a question for you all: does the design need text (example: Home Improvement Monkey, etc) or should I go with the graphic only? Or, both? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.Labels: home improvement art, miscellaneous non-house, paint

I think you would make more money if the shirt said "Spank your monkey!"
or "Don't give monkies power tools"
It's your shirt, have fun with it!
Okay, understand that I've been working in the heat a lot today, but I have several thoughts here: When I first saw this I immediately thought of Warren Criswell's winged hyena in that YouTube video of his. Then I thought of the creepy monkeys in Oz and now I'm singing, "Or-ee-os, Yoo-Hoo." I like it better without text, personally. But either way, I must have one.
How about put the image on the back of the T-shirt and say "Get this Home Improvement Monkey off my Back!" or something like that :-) Hey, I love your blog! It is hilarious and I could relate to so much of it. I'm fixing up a 1915 cottage in California - ah the agony and the ecstasy of it all!
I like the picture. The message is clear without text. Looks very cool. Unless you add him nailing a hand...just kidding
Awesome!
I love this.
Not sure if it needs the text or not, so really no help, but wanted to say I look forward to getting one either way.
What about "Are you going to help or not?" I also like the shirt just the way it is. Aren't we all a bunch of help?! LOL
I like it with no text myself. Count me in!
I, too, will have to have one. And Adam here suggests, "Renovate, my pretties!"
It's great without text. Or you could say, "Watch out, or a house will fall on YOUR head!"
I like it without text :-)
Without text please. It's very interesting to make it mysterious as to why this (flying) monkey is wielding a power tool.
Monkey with wings, meet jigsaw. Jigsaw meet flying monkey.
Some ideas:
"A thousand monkeys with a thousand power tools given an infinite amount of time could not have built my house worse"
(Although we love the Devil Queen. But even so, it's funny, and it might sell more Tshirt. Also -)
Q: You see a flying monkey with power tool. Do you
a) call him a flying cheese eating surrender monkey?
b) call him "my pretty"?
c) get him to do your roof.
Reverse of Tshirt says 'I chose option C.'
OR, there's also
Touch My Monkey
My Monkey's Nail Gun Wants To Say Hello To You
and for the atheists who aren't living in the deep south..
"How do you think they nailed Jesus up, anyway?"

Wow. Who knew there was such love for flying monkeys?!
Thank you for all the suggestions and comments!
I think I'll start taking orders later today or tomorrow. There will be a post on that soon.
Jayne, I had to go back to find the hyena. Pretty wild. It probably comes as no surprise that I got a kick out of it. Thanks for sending me that way.
And Pandora, glad you enjoy the blog, definately no shortage of agony here.
Thanks!
