New Axe Project: GROSS OUT!


Yesterday we launched our new side project appropriately titled Gross Out! We’ve been working on it for the last few weeks and have been pulling out all the stops to have it ready by Halloween. I cant believe we actually made it! Here’s a description of the application from the site…

Gross Out is the ultimate tool in barf enducing photo enhancement. We’ve all drawn a mustache or an eyepatch on a photo before for a giggle. Well, Gross Out takes that concept, multiplies it times INFINITY, and covers it in eyeballs, zits, slime and tons other gross crap that we’ve compiled for your amusement. Upload a photo to see what we mean…

That’s the basic idea. It’s generally all about taking photos of yourself, your friends, family, and family pets and making them look ridiculous with our stockade of gross and hilarious illustrations. Here’s a shot of the UI and some examples of what people are doing…


Evidence that Gross Out is fun for the whole family. Its almost christmas card season you guys!


Ive never been so repulsed and turned on at the same time


This is the ultimate party gross out! I want to hang out with that bottle of jack so bad, i bet he whistles when he talks


I always had the feeling Bob Ross was a giant perv. Im glad he’s not around anymore to feel the backlash on this one.


You get idea, and those are just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the ones people have been doing are absolutely blowing my mind and making me wet my pants simultaneously. We’re thrilled that people are having so much fun with it already. Mike from Always Thinking, a UK based art and culture blog, had this to say about it…

Once in a while there is a new thing that comes along and changes how we use the internet. A new web app that completely pisses over everything else, and laughs in the face of others that stand against it. Today we have found such genius with GROSS OUT.

Wow! Thanks Mike! That reminds us to add a ‘piss stream’ illustration to site, amongst some other gnarly objects that we are already brainstorming on. We hope this is just the beginning of what we can do with Gross Out!

Make sure you enter our ongoing contest when you visit the site. We’re going to be giving away FREE Crispy Tees and Axe gear a lot this first week and consistently as time goes on for the most original, creative, and just plain funny concoctions using the Gross Out application. So head over there now and GetGrossedOut.com !
