Shirt.Woot

Re: COWBELL HERO IN Baiting other consumers REPEAT (Blue Oyster Cult)

I was going to ask for an enlargement of the letters to see what was typed in them. Woot has rejected a couple of entries since the font was too small. But woot also rejected an item because the design created letters instead of letters creating design, which I think this would be.

Re: Peace

My very first entry; please show a little love and encouragement. Besides, who doesn't love Peace? Is it you? Do you hate puppies, also? ;)

Re: Peace

Oh by the way, that E is meant to be read twice. Just a stylistic choice.

Re: om

I like that this is very different. I can't tell from the screen, so I hope that all the om's are large enough to print.

Re: I'm Utterly Delicious

Very cool shirt and I think the colors look incredible!

Re: om

Enin, you have a wonderful style all your own. This is great.

Thanks Nate! Glad you like it. Sunflowers at the State or County fair .... sounds gorgeous!

Re: Fashion Capitals of the World

This is the most creative idea of this whole derby so far. Great job kls.

Re: Rub Me Gently... (Feels nice)

aw, not brave enough to go for a hem placement? this just makes me giggle every time i see it.

Thanks Nate and Attila! Personally...I adore this one! It's losing ground though and keeps falling. I knew it had a female focus, but couldn't shake the need to make the design. I was hoping maybe some of the male woot voting contingent would like it well enough to consider voting on it as a possible gift for mother, wife, girlfriend, sister, friend, etc.

No problem. It was a lot of fun to create and I'm happy with how it turned out. Plus, I got a call from my dad who looks at my entries each week. He said it is favorite so far. That made it worth the effort! (He didn't even realize the wrought iron stands were made out of words too.)

Hey...maybe I can make your list this week though. First-time. *wink*

Re: JOIN OR DIE

Awesome. I have really been into the "John Adams" mini-series on HBO this month so this piece jumped out at me.

Excellent work either way.

Hey Thanks eHalcyon! I appreciate it! I did the red ones first. But, they looked too much like cardinals and would probably be considered more of a winter bird, so I decided to first upload the blue ones as they looked more like a Spring BlueJay.

Re: Typosaurus

This is definitely a great shirt! I hope it makes it higher because I would love to wear it!!!

WOW, what an interesting piece. I WANT ONE !! I can see this also as a prison of one's own mind.

I love the double concept. Very well done.

I would love to learn how to do this.

Now I'm thinking about the phrase "too hot to hoot." Palindromes ftw!

I wonder if a palindrome submission would have done well...

Too hot to hoot are all in there too!

Love your <3 entry BTW! I have to admit, I didn't realize that <3 = heart emoticon. I figured it was a 'less than value' and 3 was a play o the letter 'e'. So the less than value could be shorted to (LV) and the 3 represented a backwards curvy 'e' for LV3 or a cute way of saying LOVE. Now I know better....

Re: Sailing the 7 Seas

oooh, so 70's! the colors and shapes of the text remind me of schoolhouse rock.

Re: Wakka-wakka!

No, this is not parody. Not even close.

Re: Sunflower

Newest one...entered last night, but I didn't have room in my signature. Please vote if you like it. Thanks!

Thanks for the great comments! I avoided the temptation to put too much stuff in there, since it loses its effectiveness. But yea, I thought of adding jellyfish too. Since you mentioned diving (one of my hobbies too), a previous version had a poor scuba diver made of letters- "Victim"... thought it was a bit too much though.

Thanks!

Re: your body is a wonderland

I want this damn shirt! I want one! I want 8 of them! Make one for me if you dont win, and I'll give you $50 for it

Re: Gettysburg Address

I really like th design and would love to wear the Gettysburg Address on my shirt, but I also don't really like the color choice. If it gets printed, I'll still buy it though.

Fantastic. I REALLY want one.

Re: Traffic Light: An Interpretation

This is amazing. Can I get a shirt like this even if it doesn't place in the derby?

Ditto, very well done.

Re: om

This is gorgeous. I'm so glad when people remember that non-Latin characters are also text.

Re: om

Glad you didnt listen to me. This is sweet.

Re: Teh Bomb

I think you did a great job of shading on the bomb itself. I like details like that.

kwilder wrote:The fact this is all 1 & 0 is just awesome

Not only that, but the fact that it's using an area-proportional projection map. I'm sick of maps that make Africa look smaller than North America.

Now, if only South were oriented towards the top of the shirt.

eHalcyon wrote:I agree that this isn't parody. Is pacman in the public domain? I recall a shirt with pumpking pacman and a ghost - would that have counted as parody?

Pacman, or at least the name, is indeed in the public domain. Any company has the right to name a game or anything Pacman.

The design of characters and gameplay however, I am not sure. But I believe they are in the public domain as well.

skaght wrote:I had this same idea, but I was gonna put a little halo over it that said "holy."

It will probably be rejected any way. I just did it because I came home from work and my old dog had crapped all over, and it looked somewhat like this. I've never designed a shirt , and I don't even have this layered. Crap!

Yes, great minds run on the same track...

How true! Love the shading and color choice.

I'll wait the 60 days and let you know :-P

I hope to get into the fog, but who knows... Get people to vote for it!!!

Re: Going Bananas

Please win - I would buy this shirt!

Re: i am an ostrich

This shirt is understatedly awesome.

Re: Hello World

wow great illusion of 3d and motion.

Re: Never Stop Dreaming (resub)

So this is my resub, hope everyone likes it! Note: The text Never Stop Dreaming (in white) will not be on the final design

brizz wrote: The designer has NOTHING to do with whether a shirt is rejected. Zip Zilch Zero.

While I do wish this is how it it would happen, I'm not sure that is an entirely true statement. I'm new to woot, so someone may have already suggested this, but why don't they just keep the designer names hidden until voting closes for that paticular derby? Then favortism wouldn't even have a chance in effecting votes or rejections. It would be totally about the shirts.
