I voted for this one - it's a very nice design and I like the colors.

Just for future reference, they're called "Canada geese", not "Canadian geese". Some Canadians get a bit prickly about that... so, one would be a Canada goose.

They're a nuisance here, but don't tell anyone.

Re: Canadian Periodic Table

Great idea for sure, but the randomness of the colors distracts me. The six color rule makes it difficult, but could you have grouped them more aesthetically, or am I missing something significant with the current grouping?

If you make it a blackshirt w/ red leaves and one white you got my vote.

Re: hoser.

Umm, I love this!

Re: Canadian Goose

Don't worry it wont poop on your shirt!

Re: i mapleleaf canada

it's a fine design, but i'm pretty sure that this design exists on lots of other shirts...

Back when I was a kid my family and I would occasioanlly head up to Canada to visit my mother's relatives. We would usually go in the early fall when the leaves were all turning and the loons and Canadian gese were all in flight... headed south I guess. My mom's not with us anymore but I still remember the way she loved the changing colors of the leaves and the sight of those birds in flight. I wanted to pay homage to that with this shirt; I call it Lake Ontario Sunset. Please let me know if you like it. Thanks!

This is a very beautiful shirt. Your story makes it more so.

I leave canada?

Clever, substituting the maple leaf for the usual heart. A nice update on an old theme.

RobertStumbaugh wrote:Yeah I'll keep trying. I really thought I had something special this week with my superman/canadian flag design. Click on it and give me some constructive criticism if you have the chance.

again, cool shirt

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I knew what the voters liked. I really thought that my designs last week would have done well, but they were in the low 100s by rank at the end of the week. I find that when I do a shirt I really love, it tends to do well with the voters. My single print so far was a design I loved, and I'm really happy with this one, too.

I think there are a lot of 20 year old guys buying, but I'm not sure they're all voting.

Fiddlesticks. Never thought to look.

The randomness of the NUMBERS didn't bother you?

A lot of you fufill those first two... ;-)

I'm good for the last one. Let's do it.

No way, mine's way better. If you can't tell, the "made in" tag (hecho en) represents Mexico. Obviously some political inference in play here. Besides, if this shirt wins, you have to pay in AmEros. (am-air-ohs).

Re: Get Busy

I agree with everyone else, this design is very cool. It's adorable, clever, and drawn very well.
Je ne parle pas français, mais je l'aime.

So many clever ideas coming out! I like this one - it reminds me of the t-shirts with a tuxedo image on them that guys wore at my high school years ago.

Re: Hockey, eh?

Ahhh, Canada is one big hockey rink. I get it now. Good one.

Re: CURRRLING

I love it!

The omitted bottom two rows should have been all canadian beers ;-)

Re: What's It All About?

NICE

Nice design, Derek. I like it and the colors chosen, too. GMV.

Thanks, i'm getting better at this color choosing thing. I went through 7 different variations this time around (from light yellow to the one I ended up using here) Good to hear I may have made the right choice ;-)

Thanks! I was hoping people would like it.

*giggles* looking at it now I should've made the lines thicker...

Re: Puck Off

You know, if you're one of those three angry Canadians.

Oh, jeez...there goes my productivity for the rest of the day. I'm officially addicted to this now.

As a canadian, I think this would make a great poster, but as a shirt, I would never wear it. Shirt text should be short and concise. If people have to stop you in order to read your shirt, it's annoying.

that's too good...

artulo wrote:Beautiful, and perfect on black. What really does it for me with this one is the color of the geese in contrast to the leaves. I can tell you worked hard on this one and it definitely shows!

Heheh... yeah... I stayed up until six am working on it. I'm glad you apprecate it. Thanks.

Thanks so much. :-)
