Artist's Comments

This is a t-shirt design, based on a comic I made up called "Hammer (and Sickle) Time." It's...strange, but it's about Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky mysteriously transported to present day and their mission to thwart Capitalism and reinstate communism all over the world, one little league soccer player at a time. Ninja So it's not a very good idea, but I thought it was funny. Lenin has an affinity for red Icees, which he buys from the local 7-11 (even during winter.) Stalin has a strange tendancy to make ordinary people who displease him disappear under mysterious circumstances (like the Deli man on the corner.) And Trotsky writes dramatic essays on Communism, which he makes aforementioned little league soccer players read in an attempt to train them to be a loyal future Red Army. Comic hilarity ensues. I hope.

Drawn on computer using Photoshop 7.0.... Trotsky doesn't look too much like Trotsky, but all the pictures I could find of him looked different all the time. Lenin's arms looks kinda short, but it's supposed to be like, forshortening. If my brother-in-law likes the design, he'll probably make a lot of shirts and sell them. If not, I demand my own shirt, since I've wanted something like this for a long time.

Dude, I would love this on a shirt. It's awesome. The comic sounds pretty funny too. Lenin is the shit. Too bad Stalin wouldn't like Lenin, and he and Trotsky would disappear, then it'd just be Stalin.
This is hella cool. +fav

There must be some mistake,
I didn't mean to let them take
away my soul,
am I too old,
is it too late?
Where's the feeling gone?
Will I remember the song?

The show must go on...
:iconemminou:
That sounds like a brilliant concept... :) (Smile)

Just one question- do they succeed?
:iconscythekitten:
My hamster's name is trotsky!
:iconeyekay:
Ah; finally I get the MC Hammer reference, lol! Now I have strange visions of Communist leaders doing dance routines in baggy trousers...

Anyway, 'tis a brilliant picture, and I agree that it'd look good on a T-shirt :) (Smile)

Clerks meets the Communist Revolution! I like it, would definately read it. I love Communist Russia and Cold War lore. Have you finished any comics?
