Connected as Safwat Saleem (370 friends)
Safwat Saleem is a graphic designer based in Phoenix, AZ. His previous work includes a silly short film about a day in the life of a lonely bear and an angry political exhibit that no one liked. He is currently working on a series of prints titled "Sunken Ships & Stalled Careers." He is not really a bear.
Got my shirt today! I'm a little concerned about how the design will hold up over time (I plan to wash it inside out and use it gently) but it fits well and looks great! Thanks James and Brown Bear :)
Thanks for the extra wallys! :-)
Do you think we could get 3200x1200 versions? I run dual 22" LCD monitors at work and at home I run a dual setup using a 23" and a 22". It would be nice but no worries if you can't. Thanks for what you have given us!!! :-)
Any further update on the digital stuff?
Hi Andrea!
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm a little behind with the schedule but the screenprinting and t-shirt is moving ahead as planned. We're still on schedule to start shipping things by end of April. Although I am not sure if everything will be mailed out by then -- some things may need to be mailed our early May.
But yes, the digital stuff. My goal is to send everyone the digital wallpapers by end of the week (Sunday). Fingers crossed! :)
Hi!
Any updates and when are you going the deliver these great prints?
Maybe the whole screenprinting process is long.. but at least the digital version?
thanks
Andrea
I've pledged 60$ for the 3 prints, however I did not update to include an additional 10$ for shipping outside of the US (to canada). How can I pay the additional fee after the funding period has been completed?
Thanks,
Thank you all for the support and the kind words! We are very excited to start making the prints and t-shirts.
I am in the process of figuring out the measurements of various shirt sizes and I hope to send out the questionnaire asking backers their print/shirt preferences early next week.
wow, congratulations - here's to the creatures!
Congratulations - on exceeding your goal. Can't wait to get my T-shirt. Your work is awesome.
Darn it, I wish there were some t-shirts left!
i wonder if they thought it would be this sucesssful
Really awesome project---thanks for putting it out there!
pledged for the "3 screen prints" rewards a few days back. ever since then I tried to make up my mind which 3 to choose because I have 4 favs. finally today I found the solution.. I upped my pledge to the "5 prints and 1 tshirt"--> instant peace of mind.
Great video Safwat. And thanks for supporting my Dordle project too. Glad you like them. I'm sure your maximum overfunding will be both a boon and burden to you, but I look forward to seeing the results.
Piaggio and Maura, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Angela, if you like, James can make suggestions for which shirt/print to go with :)
I'm so happy to have found Kickstarter, and your hysterical, and most creative,T-Shirt project. It didn't help that I almost had to call an ambulance because I was dying of laughter after watching your video! GREAT JOB!
'oh shit' i love this - awesome project. thanks for making me laugh this morning!
I'm going to have SUCH a hard time deciding which one!
faamaoni, pretty much. All these illustrations are autobiographical in nature :)
Do these illustrations depict what it is like for a brown person to live in Arizona? If it is, I really don't understand your artwork.
Just kidding. I love it.
Aloha
Johanna, Jaline and JoseAntonio, thank you so much for your support! :)
Oh Expletive: Phoenix, AZ! Congrats to artists from my hometown.
Great project and stand-up guys behind it.
I absolutely love your project. I am backing two other projects, both are by good friends of mine....I heard of yours through the kickstarter email- you were featured. I am SO thrilled to have stumbled upon your project and will be a fan for life. Thanks so much!
Elizabeth and Twila, thank you so much!
Twila, right now unfortunately the sizes range from Small to XL only but let me get back to you in a little bit. If i am able to get 3x/4x shirts in the colors I want then we can make this work. I'll message you when I find out more. Thanks again!
Fantastic video. Wonderful product. Good luck (although you seem to have that covered already).
Completely adorable! I just wish the glittersaur hadn't sold out before I logged back in, as I would've upped my pledge immediately!
Will there be an option for larger shirts (or a way to find out if the large shirts are large enough)? I'm a big woman, and I usually take 3x/4x. I'd be happy to add a few bucks to make that happen, as I know larger shirts cost more.
Haha! Alicia, thank you so much for always supporting my silly projects. James is looking forward to making a video just for you!
I think that "brown guy" and james needs to start a series. Maybe one in which they answer fan mail questions? Or at the very least, I'd love to see out takes from the original filming!!!
Great stuff! I only wish I could get the flame thrower one on a t-shirt. Good luck in the next month, looks like you are going to be swamped.
Yaffle and Jamil, thank you so much for the kind words! I am excited to begin production on the prints and shirts soon :)
thanks to eliza g for posting about your project. it made my day! i'll wait patiently [anxiously] for april to roll around.
really nice stuff Safwat - glad to be able to help in a small way. (and damn, don't the people from Phoenix do well with Kickstarter and excessively beating their goals?)
Andrew
Awesome! And ... done! All four shirts are mine. Muhahaha. :)
Christopher, shirts are only available in 4 options -- knife fight, zombies, unicorns and 8-bit attack. The Shark Attack is available only as a print.
How would I be able to order the shark and diver Oh Expletive? Are you making shirts of that print soon?
Ernie, I just added an option for all four shirts. Thanks!
Will there be an amount to add for "I want multiple t-shirts" option. The set of 4 would be really cool.
Alex, the music used in the video is from the soundtrack to the movie Rubber. It is a fantastic movie and has an amazing soundtrack that you can get here: http://www.amazon.com/Rubber/dp/B0049D1TBI/ref=sr_1_1…
Brent, thank you!
Liam, also thank you!
Cate, thank you x 2!
Hello, can you let me know what the music was for your video please?
Nice! Got mine
Awesome!
As in, all of them.
Oh, the Glittercorn!! How can one resist?
Tomas, James is a trained thespian. He likes to get in his roles in every possible way and he trained with the best mustache growers. It look him about 2 days to grow it all out..
Juan, anyone at $45+ backer level was meant to get all nine wallpapers but since the response has been so enthusiastic, I think every backer at $10+ deserves the complete wallpaper set. I'll try and make that happen.
Can the higher backer levels also get all 9 wallpaper files?
Just gotta say.... This is pretty damn awesome!
Two questions. First, how long did it take James to grow his moustache? And B), how many Chick-o-Sticks would you trade for a t-shirt? And E), how do I upload an animated gif to this comment?
