Cool Stuff: The Shining/E.T. T-Shirt Mash-Up
Posted on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
What if you took Stanley Kubrick‘s The Shining and mashed it up with Steven Spielberg‘s E.T.? It might look something like today’s t-shirt from TeeFury. Designed by Joao Lauro Fonte, “The Shining Finger” is “the cross-over you’ve never known you needed in your life until now!”
- The good news is the t-shirt design is only $9 (plus $2 shipping).
- The bad news is that it will only be available today, and today only. Get it while you can because it will disappear at Midnight.
Check out a close-up of the full design after the jump.
Here is the artist’s explanation:
‘The Shining’ is one of my favorite movies. I’ve never found any shirt to make it justice, though, then I decided to make one myself. The idea of having the ET stroke me when I was on a bus. I figured it would be much more fun to have a lovely and cute character with that psycho expression. ET was my choice for being a dude you would never expect to crack up and go all insane murdering people. The finger shining occurred to me only when the design was ready and I was looking for a name for it. I thought it was the perfect final touch and then everything came together.
