Anger Is the Swiss Army Knife of Emotions T-shirt

Anger Is the Swiss Army Knife of Emotions T-shirt by Mike Monteiro.
It's for sale now, bitches.

So here's the deal: I'm an idiot. When this shirt idea came to me it was with the word "ANGER" in the knife. Yesterday as I was laying it out a neuron misfired and I typed "HATE" instead. I can't get behind that. Hate is ugly. Anger; a bit more complicated and can sometimes be used for good. That's what I was going for. I replaced the image and the correct shirt, with "ANGER" in the knife is now for sale.

We don't need any more hate, but there's plenty to be angry about.

Oh, that's sweet, Mike.
Can you make a nice, soft passive-aggressive carrying case for them?

Uh oh, you'll want to avoid any "commercial" use of Flickr, or you just may anger the Flickroonies and get your account deleted. That "sale" link is a Community Guidelines violation.

OMG! Thanks, van swearingen! I had no idea! I really appreciate you policing the site for us.

I also just realized I never flagged it as an illustration. OMG, it's like anarchy in here. We're minutes away from someone sticking their dick in the potato salad.

You need to stop selling the shirt on Flickr because Flickr is not a 'sales' site.

You can be as snarky as you want. I don't really care because it's not my problem if you don't abide by the terms of service and are willing to risk account deletion. Up to you.

I was just offering you a friendly 'heads-up'. If you want to get nasty, then I'll be happy to report you for a TOS violation.

Yes. Flickr is not a commercial website - and I do not want to see sales links. The community guidelines specifically state "no sales". You might want to read them.

Pages reported to Flickr for TOS violation.

Don’t use Flickr for commercial purposes.
Flickr is for personal use only. If we find you selling products, services, or yourself through your photostream, we will terminate your account.

@van swearingen - I'm so glad that you're getting the joke about the anger! This is just the sort of interaction that fuels Mike on and makes the internet a fun place to be.

We're all friends here, so if you really think you need to file a TOS complaint, that's totally within your rights as one of the Flickr community members. I don't really think it's worth it, honestly. I hope you'll reconsider, though, because an open dialogue will always get us all further in this crazy mixed-up world.

Also, your photos are wonderful! :) Congrats on your well-deserved success.

The End of illustration AND photos!

Every now and then a category killer emerges and there is no need to do any more work ever.

Sparklemonteiro wins. I will use it ANYTIME work calls for an illustration or stock photo,

No more White Businessman firmly shakes Black Businessman hand.

Teen girls on a beanbag with laptop? Who needs it? I'm plopping an OLPC over two Sparklemonteiros and calling it good.
