Shirt.Woot

Re: No sinking me now!

gosh, Heather, this is such a departure from your previous entries. If you go to http://vectormagic.stanford.edu you can have them make your design into a vector, and make it six colors or shades of grey, by selecting a medium logo as your type of upload (even though it is a photo), they will give you the option of how many shades you want to use in the trace.

i don't understand your design at all, but you could certainly make it not-rejectable for obvious issues like the photo this way. good luck!

Re: KTHNXBAI!!!1

I like this....I like this alot....nice job Dekon

Re: C M Y Quit? K

I think it's clever, though I don't like it on the brown shirt. I am sort of wondering how its related to the derby though...

Re: When the game quits you

ha!

Re: I'll be in the woods

When you just can't take it anymore..... there's always the woods.

There are times he's ever hopeful, and there are times that that hope is based on a rather large calamity occurring to get rid of a large chunk of particularly dumb humans. Such as us evolving into penguin creatures with smaller brains.

Galapagos, one of the best books ever! "Vonnegut straddles", now there's a perfect word combination.

Note its the white knight surrendering to the black QUEEN - we don't see either king but assume the white king is in immenent peril of checkmate.

Hey - dont fault her for trying new styles!

But hand drawn is nearly always better

And then what did you think?

I should spend more time hanging out on threadless and DBH.. so at least when i'm accused of copying, it can be true :P

Re: Better than a 2 week notice

I would totally buy this shirt! GMV

Thanks!
No gradients, just a couple different colors of pink in color blocks.

Sorry if it looks similar. I didn't even see yours.

They that follow the blinding light believe they can see.


Any hoo, Edgar got a daily shirt, so congrats Edgar, and thanks for being such a good sport.

Remiunds me of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy (Marvin - The Paranoid Android)

superspryte wrote:Love. But it looks like you took the pirate from weebl & bob. Maybe. I'm not going to tattle. ^_^

Pirate?? what pirate? there's no pirate.

Edit: Oh, I see...I just found the Weebl & Bob site on google search. I've never heard of it before. I'm really surprised at how close this "ninja pirate" as they call it looks to my ninja. Honestly I was looking off another ninja pic I saw online, for the style of the black robe, but I changed his head. Now it turns out his head looks more like Weebl & Bob's ninja pirate head! sheesh you can't win. The only good thing is people were saying "where's your pirate, there should be a pirate" so maybe the pirate is just understood, or implied along with the ninja. heh

Re: Please- I've had enough.

Well, Joel rejected the first version of this design, in error. He emailed me about it, and posted a comment confessing the mistake in the comments forum-

joelterrific wrote:I erroneously rejected this thinking the thumbnail also had a gradient. Ironically, this was brought to my attention by Josephus in the past. Proof that if you complain to me, I will turn your valid argument against you.

I kid...or do I?

Reinstating the design is not a viable option as it requires our developer to work their crazy voodoo magic. If I could, I would give 10 votes to Josephus' resubmission.

Anyway, I really like the slug, so I decided to resubmit even though it is quite late. If you like it, please consider voting for MissLauraB's dragon killer design too- there's a link in my signature. Thanks!

What are the two dots or marks or whatever above the slug on the left? I see them on the shirt, but don't see them in the large design so i wasnt sure.

Oops! Those are an artist's error- I had all of my colors in big circles to make sure I only had the six allowed, and somehow those two got transferred to the shirt drawing. Just an accident, the colors of the wine bottles and/or the slime trail. Hopefully, Joel will let me not include them on the shirt; I'm hopeful he'll appreciate that sometimes people make small, incidental errors that won't really affect anything much. :^D

Re: El Prospector Cansado

great idea, i dig it

Given that there are 1000 different ways to do a text shirt, the similarities are too much for me. Woot might be cool with it, but I wouldn't vote for it. (No offense, I'm not contesting that there's still a lot of time and creativity invested- just saying that it would have been better if applied to something more original.)

It's really bad timing. DBH just chose that picture as its Shirt of the Month. http://www.designbyhumans.com/

Re: Me=Quit

Very nice

Re: I'll be in the woods

*giggles* tee-hees!.... you're right, it is a bit Waldenesque...

"dude, you got Vonnegut straddles? I never get any lovin' by reading Faulkner!"

And well you shouldn't. Faulkner sucked.
