Ducks fly north for the winter. Platipi look like ducks in some ways but cant fly. Hence the hang glider.

Re: Not An Aussie

Gotta admit, I'm slightly disappointed to learn from the other comments on this entry that the "true Aussie" dogs aren't supposed to be dingoes... mainly because I was going to make a terrible "dingoes ate my puppy!" joke.

Re: We are NOT cuddly!

I want SO BADLY for this to print. I would wear it on cranky days.

Re: The McEucalyptis is back!

Do you think the McEucalyptis tastes like a yoga mat?

I was wondering the same thing...but I really like this design.

Re: Crikey!

Love!!!

Re: Knucks

+1 for octopi and jellyfish

Re: Blue Ring Love

+1 Octopi and jellies, another must have shirt in this derby

Re: to the sun

The rainbow serpent of aboriginal myths is unleashed by a modern day mining operation. Mining is a large industry in Australia, and I found it interesting (in a tragic sort of way) that aboriginal mythology is deeply rooted in geography.

I was going to call it "one last look at the sun" (the sun being the rainbow serpent's foil), but my wife said that title was super sad and also that I was a depressing jerkface. So uhhh instead I'll call it "to the sun" because, you know, maybe the snake comes back and he and the miners have tea parties forever.

4 colors on brown.

Details of the halftones:







And this part zoomed out again because I think it turned out cool:

Re: Damn Gravity

Cool!! I want it!

Agreed. It really helps make the shirt. Very nice.

Re: Marsupial in my pocket

I like this one, though I wish the shirt color had been Grass Green or Kelly Green instead of Slate.

You use a lot of grey shirt's for your designs Ramyb. I know people will complain about any shirt color... but I have a lot of grey in my shirt pile right now. =P

Anyway thought I'd mention it for the futureeeee....

Here's the problem...without some context, i.e. "The McEucalyptis is back!" the shirt makes little sense.

LOL, love your wife's reaction!! Nice design style... different from all the others.

Re: joe e.

Yes. There are Aussie geeks too.

Wouldn't McDonald's be considered pop culture?

Re: The outback

I had this design pretty much finished at the start of the derby, but wanted to keep it to do a few more minor edits. Hope you guys like how it turned out

Great stuff Ramyb! Love the design. Hopefully this shirt can overcome the late entry cuz I'd really like to buy it.

Nothing. GMV

Cormano wrote:You know your shirt is like completely friggin' invisible right

From more than a few feet away people will just think you're wearing a flesh-colored shirt

After a few washings people will think that even if they're pressed right up against you

I wouldn't say invisible but its supposed to be subtle and was the intention with the soft colors for a wearable design.

Re: How to Create a Landmark

Very clever design!

Re: Afrilled of a little rain?

Wow, I love the ground effect! So clever!

Re: Advanced Sheep Shearing

Love this one SP! Hope it makes it into the fog

Re: Marsupial in my pocket

To all the people having a conniption over this design, I'm starting to think you need to cool your jets and remember... this is just a t-shirt. It's not going to be displayed in the Louvre and it's not going to be the piece of art that defines our generation. You're all acting like someone just took a utility knife to the Mona Lisa! How about this, lets all just take it for what it is and calm down a bit before someone has an aneurysm.

jupilberry wrote:Wouldn't McDonald's be considered pop culture?

Good question. The shirt's title is obviously pop culture. However, if you look at the shirt itself, there's nothing there that relates to McDonald's. Is the title enough to get it rejected?

Ooh ooh can I be "that guy" and post links to this shirt being done on other sites already?

It's not really that I think he stole the design or whatever it's just that the concept is so boring and common that cafepress and zazzle both have full pages of shirts dedicated to "animal in pocket" designs.

Re: The Ultimate Staring Contest

Haha - it does look like one of the challenges on Survivor.

Re: to the sun

Oh man... if this wins, I'm buying it.

Re: to the sun

Gorgeous painted look! Do you have any close-up shots? I'd love to see the details.

Re: Plaidypus

Unfortunately, threadless has one of these already. I know because I own it. Good idea though!

Well, shoot. Same pose and everything! That'll teach me to not to google a pun.

Re: K.O.ala-ed

I got to be honest, I am jealous of your thought processes. Almost every derby I am thinking, “Well, that is an awesome take.” If you would knock it off I would feel much better about my own creative thinking skills. The random tremendousness is just too much. This will be the first red shirt I will own besides an ugly sweater

Re: Rainbow Serpent

Beautiful dotwork!

Re: Rainbow Serpent

Fabulous design, but neither I nor anyone in my family can wear white shirts.
