About the Artist
MasterControl has 2 designs in the running. This is the 2nd winning design for MasterControl.
Tried this out at Threadless. It scored really well, but don’t think it’s for the right crowd, so I thought I’d see what the response is like here.

That is an ubber awesome t-shirt!! I don’t know how u did it but u did it!! And the look on the cats faces is sooo superly cute!! It’s hard to imagine DBH will overlook such a masterpiece and it won’t be a shirt of the day! Did you check out my pirate? Please do……………………..
ARGGH!! I was just about to buy your CMYK and now I’ve seen this, and it’s even more wicked!! The placement on this is just how it should be done. LOVE IT. I so hope this gets printed coz it’s gonna be my first DBH tee buy!!!
Check out my stuff if you wish! :)
Sooo good! As simplistic as it may seem, the laser pointer is totally my favorite part of this fantastic shirt. True explorers, indeed. Definitely has my vote and hopefully my purchase in the future. +1
Yes!!! the cherry of the cake i the red dot… i don´t know it has to be there haha…. and yes.. this i the place for your deign. voted +1, please check my deign
this is sicckkkk
mad skills ahahah
voted
chek mines out vot if u dig it …. thanks
I just had to actually come back and stare for a while. I’m IN LOVE with this tee. If I can’t buy it I will be distraught!! :) OK…I’m pulling myself away now…!
hilarious, love it. I would rock it all day long, probably a few days in a row until people realized it smelled bad, then I’d still get one more day out of it. Awesome job!!
I registered on DBH today just to vote for this design. It definitely must be printed.
i apparently skimmed the title until i saw the design. I thought that it said “Castronauts”, and there would be the Castros on this. (which is an idea! Don’t worry, i don’t care if anyone takes the idea)Good Luck!
cool design! +1
would be fantastic if you could vote on my design too!!!
see u!!!
I lurve kitties and space, so this is superb. Although, like a lot of shirts here, the placement’s funny for a gal, esp’ the cats gaze… they’d be leering at my DD’s! :p
Very cool design. I don’t like the red dot too much (Mars, I’m assuming), but I would buy this shirt in a second! Great job!
Really nice, i think it would be even better if you just use one cat instead of two. +1
You know, the first time that I saw this I didn’t think that I liked it all that much. Now though, the more that I look at it the more I actually want to buy it. It’s awesome!
I like how it’s a rather odd concept, but it doesn’t try to scream out the fact that it’s different. And the red dot gives a nice point of focus. +1
cats THIS WILL WIN! Voted! Please Check out my ORIGINAL GANGSTER and tell me if you like it! Thanks
haha i guess it’s a sequel in the sense that’s space themed…
i have a thing for non human creatures and outer space.
if they can discharge ink the cats, thius would not only look sweet, but feel awesome too!

MasterControl:
ohhhhhh you’ve never had cats, have you…"""
Haha! Now, I like the red dot.
Fave shirt I’ve seen on here. Already got the other one :)
Keep making these awesome designs!
haha amazing!
please take some time to check out my design too
i’d appreciate any vote i can get
arent you not allowed to post this at threadless and DBH?
i mean, its an excellent design and id totally wear it, but doesnt that violate both companies rules?
can has castronauts? +1
check out my first design
vote/give some feedback if you like
thanks
Haha! Nice shirt!
However, not sure you can both post it in Threadless and in here..
Once again, the shirt is not on Threadless. At one time it was up for voting on Threadless, but I had them remove it from their site. That is why it is here.
sweeeeeet :)
if there were dogs it would have been perfect
(++)
so, let it be printed
Wow this is a great shirt. Congrats.
(What’s up with the orange dot? Is it suppose to be a planet?)
freaking great. It would be nothing without the red laser-dot. But with it, genius.
wonderful, putting it in my cart.
The design is really awesome, and I love the laser-dot….
But for the female shirt…. to me it just looks like the cats are staring at her chest, which is not something I’d like to wear.
Looks great for the men’s though.

yeh right!
very smart t shirt mate.. good job!
hei, I predicted this one :)
I did, I did!
Though, I got to admit, this wasn’t difficult at all, the design is just awesome
haha i just noticed that thats supposed to be a laser pointer
but even without it i would get it
Nice job!
I have a question about posting on both Threadless & DBH, isn’t there a time frame of when you submit it that they claim your design? “If a design is not printed by DesignByHumans.com within the 120 day period, the participant automatically retains full rights to their design.” So we have to wait that 120 day period since design is uploaded? And then we can take our design to some other site?
Not necessarily. You can contact both sites and let them know that you would like your design taken off, if you you have a specific reason.
PS Thank you everyone for the nice comments!
too rich for my blood. maybe if there is a sale. or the recession ends. if i come into a large fortune investing in turnips. or if hell freezes over. whatevah. its a exceptional design. but 25 dollars. cmon.
Wow, It’s very awesome design.
Congrats~~ MasterControl..
You are really talented~
I broke down and bought it. I realized that if just the thought of wearing tis made me smile, I should own it. I love the tee; great job, MasterControl.

Thanks, man. I hope wearing this shirt makes you smile.
well done, two for two. ill buy this after it gets SOTW, right now I can still hope for mine! :)
Congrats MasterControl for the SOTW! this shirt is really cute .. Wow the gorgeous model
Oh dear, my size is already sold out.. REPRINT size M (womens), pleeeeaaaaseee! :(
Congratulations on shirt of the week. I just got mine in the mail and wore it around town. People loved it and it looks great.
Here’s rooting for you for shirt of the month.
if this is not a mastrepiece…
is not one week till the print and we already have reprint requests :)
congratulations!
It’s very sad to be so insecure to think ‘the cats are looking at your breasts’ and therefore not buy the shirt. Please love yourself. The female model doesn’t seem to be bothered by the design, or maybe that’s because she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
Now why would the dot in this design be a laser ponter? Maybe because the viral videos of cats attacking the dots on walls? Or considering the theme of the design maybe it could be Mars? Maybe the artist could make a comment?
Anyway, a great design, but $25 is a bit much for a tee, unless it really blows me away…of course I’d have the shirt a lot longer than the tank of gas it would buy, but I can’t drive the shirt to work. Still my favorite tee site,though :-)
Hey bushman, how about you don’t tell a woman it’s ‘sad to be so insecure’ about her body because 1) you probably don’t have boobs 2) even if you did, it doesn’t give you the right to make pronouncements on what the correct way for a woman to feel about her body is given that she will have had different experiences to yours; and 3) not all women want to draw attention to their breasts! Shocking, I know. It must be hard to imagine with that porno-coloured cloud around your head all the time.
You see, I really like the shirt and I want it and I’m a woman, but I understand if it makes some other woman feel uncomfortable even if that is not true for me.
Also, reprint! please!
I love this shirt and would buy it instantly if you had women’s sizes! Please reprint this!
Reprint for womens sizes please!! My boyfriend managed to snag one of these and I’m so jealous!!!
holy fucking shit!!! i’m away for some weeks and i miss this?!?!?!!!
must have!! reprint!!! oh my god
I love this design, and there are lots of people I’d like to gift it to, but they’re sizes aren’t available. Please reprint!
Just got it in the mail today. This is even more awesome and amazing in real life.
my friend has this but he said the dot was mars. a laser pointer makes just as much sense tho
I want to give my story about this shirt: I stumbled upon this shirt at Pac Sun at the mall that I work at, and it led me to this amazing site. This is THE quintisential shirt of my wardrobe, everywhere I go, and I mean EVERYWHERE I go, I get compliments, questions, and overall curiousity about this shirt. It’s even gone to the point where people will make inferences and give this deep meaning to what the shirt is, and why the cats are looking at this lazer dot. I love it, I love this site, I love this shirt.
epic, epic shirt
in fact I think I will gain 60 lbs just so I can get the shirt in mens XL, or just wait till you reprint it in mens M
Sattler said: What are they waiting for?
RE-PRINT!!! =’’(((
wow, and the next day they reprinted it! You should have posted a long time ago :)
