What blows my mind is that Edgar even bothers to demean himself with Woot derbies anymore. He's clearly significantly more talented than the average populace of Woot is capable of fully appreciating.
Rather than sitting around having his art diminished by t-shirts of wispy caverns that look like something you'd find at a New Age shop next to a collection of Obama collectible plates, or shirts of bears on ATVs that would be better off next to Batista tees at Wal-Mart, Edgar ought to try and find alternative and more dependable venues for his work. There's regularly more inventiveness in the Edgar designs that get rejected than in the entire Fog.
What venue, I'm not sure, as I'm no expert in the apparel-design industry - Threadless? They seem to have more of an appreciation for artistry, at any rate.
But really, thinking of all the "designer" tee's I've seen that could've been hashed out by any 3rd-semester Fine Arts major at a community college, I fully believe Edgar could strike his own production deals for higher-quality, screen-printed designs with greater image area and deeper color saturation.
Sigh...oh well, I can fantasize, can't I?
Edgar has been printed at Threadless (first wooter to do so, and long since sold out) and Design By Humans, as well as Allmightys, Bad As Hell Clothing, Cameesa, and I think another site or two... he's been printed twice at Teefury, also, though he probably won't see a print there again unless he decides to draw some Star Wars inspired pieces.
Edgar's brilliance will sadly never be fully appreciated at any site, and he hasn't fully given up here either (he had an excellent piece just last week), but it is indeed true he's been around here less. One more proof that woot's way of working its derby is only to the detriment of every talented artist here, and the benefit to cheats, hacks, and panderers.
