Are you implying that suddenly argyle shirts aren't original? If two pirate argyles can be different, surely a flowergyle is the most unique idea since the blender!

Please vote for a truly unique, not to mention tasteful, design idea!

Eh, the exclamation points are part of the charm. I think it has a chance of being rejected. Personally, I'd wait for the axe though.

Re: The Bugs are Back (Prints on back) RESUB

fun idea, but that bug is going to be huge, isn't it?
personally, I'd position it higher up by the shoulder...

Re: The Green Meep, Herald of Sping

Why isn't this doing better dammit... :<

Re: Explosive Growth

Thanks for the comments, although I wish I had executed the design as I had envisioned

The problem is not the tablet.

Re: Awake from hibernation

Cho always makes very detailed, beautiful images. The only problem is I never really see myself wearing any of the shirts. This one is no exception.

Re: The Birdgylement of Spring...

Thanks for the kind words! I am glad that people are liking it, especially considering how much time i spent on it.

euhhhhhhhhhhhh... got an caffeine?

This is lovely!!

Mike Honcho loves this.

This made me laugh really hard out loud. GMV.

Re: SPRING-atron

Mike Honcho does not support butterfly mutilation... but Mike Honcho does support this shirt. Mike Honcho is a complex man.

Re: Golf Ball Grow

MIke Honcho was experimenting with the brush tool but ended up with a Fred Flintstone looking golf ball. Mike Honcho will keep trying... It's what Mike Honcho does.

Ya, oh well. Had fun drawing it. Have more ideas but I need this evening to work on it.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=11835]Flower Power

Im counting 7+ colors here.

Re: SPRING-atron

bahaha.. that's so badass :3

Re: First Ride

There are lots of things that are right with this design (and I really like how you busted out the boldest colour out there for it, yet made it seem natural), but the design seems to drown itself out, so that the motorcycle element seems lost in the greenery. I'd love to see an unobstructed large-view... it may just be the shirt in front of the larger design that makes it lost to me... but as it looks right now, I think it needs a better balance between the elements.

Re: Spring Butterflys

Any comments???

Re: A Penguin Farewell

Super cool! He's livin the dream

Re: god of spring

Are there too many colors in this?

I love it too! I almost never see a winning shirt I'd truly buy, but this would be one I would!

Re: Pollen Swirls

Click here to see a close-up of the swirls. Full of pollen-y goodness without causing allergic reactions!

Black
White
Yellow
Brown
Dark Green
Red

And an excellent use thereof, because it definitely looks like way more... the illusion comes from the line strokes vs. the fills... the less solid area you see, the more the green effects your perception of the colours...

this one calls for animation.

I used to have the same problem. Then I bought one of his shirts and invested in a mirror. Now, my entire life has changed! I skip through my day gleefully, eager for even the quickest glimpse of a spraypainting Alice reflected in a window.

The only problem I have now is that I never want to stop wearing my Cho shirts! It's lucky I have so many of them, otherwise my skin would become grafted to the fabric like those tub o' butter ladies on tv who get stuck to their couches. That would kind of suck, especially since my skin attaching to the cotton might warp the design a bit. And how gross would that be? Ew!

Re: god of spring

I love this piece - brilliant! Gmv.

Re: Flowergyle

This is an incredible, original design. GMV.

Hey GF... I thought you were making a pillow out of your Alice shirt. No white shirts, you said. It is, honestly, a great design for a pillow, though! If I mine gets 'damaged', I'll probably do that as well.

I know what the poster means though about the wearability of the designs. I bought Alice and Spring Rebirth. Couldn't resist because of the tie-dye offer.

I don't know that I'd buy both Jame's Bears and TG's Bear shirt. So, only one will get my vote this week. I haven't voted on either yet, but I will by the end of the derby once I figure out which I like better.

Love the family component of James' entry. Love the coffee element of TGs (wish there was a female bear too) Too bad, we can't blend them together.
