Lol, it's not a bad first effort.

It must be great to make excuses for mediocre effort. Next it'll be "I'm just a community college kid" and then "I'm just a McDonalds Employee" and then "I'm just lazy" or "It's just too hard"

Learn not to make excuses.

Good contribution. Thanks for that.

I hope more people vote for this over the next day - it is soooooo close to the fog!

Wear this shirt: On days when even Preparation H can't hide the bags under your eyes.

Don't wear this shirt: To bed.

This shirt tells the world: I'm tired. Back off.

We call this color: Navy Little Boy Blue.

I have to disagree with your "Don't wear this shirt: To bed. " comment. Now that Sleepless is gone, this is the best chance for a night shirt with sheep!

Yes, I could see it for both. And I thought Sleepless was cute as well. Hmm... I really thought I was going to save money this derby, but, if this shirt makes it, I'm buying.

Re: till the sharks got wings...

Good Job Derek, I voted and I'll buy!

wow. I have no response to that. Thanks for noticing my work, though

And yes, the concept of voting does work, as evidenced by everything that has ever been voted on, but does that make the results right or correct?

Remember that forums serve a purpose so that people can voice their opinions. But since opinions are like ***holes and everybody has one, so everyone gets a say! Regardless of whether or not you agree with me, I still caused you to take time out of your day to respond. That to me is the best part.

This derby is a wash as none of the top 4 shirts are really that exciting. Hopefully the next Derby will yield some more promising results. Until then, enjoy your cupcake shirt.

Congrats! You officially fired me up enough to spit out some great work this week. Thanks for your over the top hatred of my shirt and my overall style. <tips hat>

While I don't think that comments like yours usually have that type of effect, they did for me this week. While I still don't find it necessary to be over the top and rude, I truly thank you for frustrating me!

Last night as I was trying to go to sleep I wondered to myself "is stevftguy my creative director trying to use some weird motivation technique on me?" HA! I think I will just run with that notion.

Thanks again to those that have voted. Throw a few more my way and who knows what might happen!

Nope, going to keep pushing it out of the FOG. Just can't deal w/ cupcakes on my chest.

Sorry.

No offense.

Re: Did you have a... nightmare???

I'm surprised this isn't doing better... oh well...

Re: Ocean R.E.M.

I LOVE your color choices for this! I'll be buying one!

Re: Dreams Realized Thermal Imaging

Woot broke my heart, I get not winning the popular vote, I don't expect everyone to agree with me.. but rejected? I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree but I picked up on what you did right away.. And woot doesn't see how it is dream related? I would like to take a second and quote one of the great characters in literature, Opus t. Penguin:
"Phhthththtthht!!!"

It got my vote.

Sorry to see it rejected.

Re: Boyhood Dream

Ooo! I wish I could vote more than once; this needs to be printed. I love it enough that I took back a vote on something that is ahead, 'cause I'd really like to buy this one. Good job!!

It is an awesome shirt that would easily get my vote. Too bad it got rejected

Re: Street Sign Dream

Is it just me or are the guys rejecting the shirts getting a bit rude?

Re: penguins last dream (resub)

C'mon folks! You know like the penguin! If you've been on the fence about voting for it, now's your last chance! Vote for it even if you wouldn't buy it just to give those of us who really want it a chance to! :-)

Re: Boyhood Dream

I like this and I don't even normally like brown.

Keep up the good work!

And indeed I went Krikor! I am totally shocked to find myself up to 40th place this morning!! Who-da-thunk-it?!?!?! I can't say thank you enough everyone!!!

while this isn't my favorite design this week, you've certainly cemented my resolve to vote for it. well done!

Yay!
What a strange feeling it would be to walk down a street and see someone wearing this. I think I'd have the first sheep's expression! :D

Maybe you could wear this shirt to bed - just not if your planning to sleep ;)

I'm pretty sure Apple feels ok about themselves. If I had the most well know MP3 player ever, I wouldn't complain. lol

Airwhale wrote:I want it too, Woot. Sell it outside of the derby, please.

If woot were to have a "best rejects" week, it's safe to say they wouldn't base it on popularity. They'd base it on their own personal tastes, just like editor's choice week.

That said, if we had four days of good but rejected shirts, I really don't think the infinity sheep would be one. For starters, it looks like we're getting a sheep shirt anyway this week, but moreover, I just don't think it'd measure up to any number of other rejects.

Of course, that also opens up a whole other can of worms... people entering excellent work that's wholly off theme, in hopes they'll be printed in a "best reject" week. It'd be a very dangerous slope

Re: Flying dream

ah, I was commenting on the wrong entry.
Never mind!

This is preachy, but some civility would serve this process better, it seems to me.

I'm still confused as to why you chose me to post this to.. I've racked my brain for anything I've "bragged" about in my piece on the forum. In fact, I gave up on this entry days ago, and am now personally rooting for the cupcake as it's the only hopeful I'd wear. With that said, I've not advertised this design more than a button in my sig.

Honored you chose me as your first post, tho. ;) Only the really good and controversial designers get that. =D

jmblya & Almighty-Thank you for the support! As of right now I have no plans to put this on another site. Mainly because I haven't heard of a place that is cheaply priced for the consumers but high quality. Another (and many other designers) designer I know is doing alot of investigating of other printers and as soon as he chooses, I might follow, I am keeping your names and will pm you if I ever decide. Thanks again, and am glad you like it!

Re: penguins last dream (resub)

I REALLY want this shirt!! VOTE NOW

Re: When Androids Dream

Great job! I loved this book when I read it in college.

Ah, no, friend. Not you! I posted this in the wrong forum. And then I didn't know how to get rid of it. Serious first-post hoseup. I do like your stuff, definitely, but it seems commentors are being nicer to you than to AlvinPing, for whom I meant to interject myself. And hopefully keep his spirits up. Cheers.

However, you are my second and third post (giggle)

Re: penguins last dream (resub)

C'mon guys! Lets get this one back in the fog!!

Re: When Androids Dream

When I saw the theme, I immediately thought of the whole "andriods...electric sheep" concept. I had no idea how to pull it off thought.

Love the vision you came up with.
