I thought it was an explosion, actually L O L!

Re: Traffic Light: An Interpretation

I just realized how much this looks like a Jamaican shirt...

As for the roughness of the design, it was entirely intentional, and it's my interpretation of the poem. I really appreciate the comments and critiques, though, so thanks!

Incredible design.. simply stated, really like the roughness as well. good luck

I love it!

Impressive!

If the "Alas poor Yorick" was in the shape of a hand holding the skull, I'd buy one in a heartbeat! As it is, can't do it. Very nice design though.

Re: Less Than Three?

Love it :D
I hope so bad this one winsss. I feel like its made for me, that wuz teh funneh.

hahaha, I am so uneducated in the arts... I saw this and loved it because it makes me think of Frank Lloyd Wright (who I now see may have been inspired by "de stijl" for some of his work) Then, when I showed my wife, she said Mondrian. At least one of us is smart... :-D

GMV regardless!

thank you all for the encouragement

And hopefully you can use all that you learned in Illustrator in another derby. Great job. I don't know Illustrator, but the envelope distort sounds interesting. Do you create the shape that you want and then 'ask' the software to mold the letters to the shape?

There are different options with the "Envelope Distort." The way I was using it was that it would draw a rectangle around my word, then using the Direct Selection tool (the white pointer) to edit the anchor points and the slopes around them to fit into the grid I drew on the face and hand, and the software would distort the text in the rectangle to fit the new shape I made. It really is pretty useful.

It appears to be the same quote, yes. But I do believe a popular design with a raven quotes Edgar Allen Poe, or there's "Don't Panic", which is very much a Douglas Adams quote. Just saying. =)

Re: Green Leaf

Descriptive, attractive and green? SURELY THIS IS THE GREATEST SHIRT OF ALL TIME.

I would buy three, and then open fake accounts (are those allowed?) to buy three more. I would wear them every day except Sunday, because Sunday is a day of rest. Therefore Sunday is the day I will wear the rest. Of my shirts. That don't have leaves.

Re: Ezekiel 25 : 17

my brother would love this. GMV

what a great comment! thanks a whole lot!

Keep in mind that we really don't know the #s for the fog; when shirts bounce in and out, SDS has trouble with the estimation tool. Don't know that that's a factor yet, but the tool is still only a few months old, and we should take those #s with a grain of salt.

Hey MJC-
I wasn't actually looking at SDS. I was comparing the actual numbers for 5th and 6th place. 5th has a huge number of votes so the fogged ones have to be higher than that. And, the disparity between 5th and 6th is quite large. I don't recall seeing such a gap in previous derbies. This would make you think that it's a fight among the top 5 instead of a larger number in the top 10. To me this is unusual so early in the derby.

hmm this is kind of similar to the sticky notes shirt... but i really like it! Great design!

well lets hope if lincoln can stay, so can jules. like brothers, fighting for the righteous . . . on a more serious note i am hoping the woot gods smile upon this.

Re: Yin Yang

I love this one, and I'm surprised I didn't think of it first. I'm a big fan of yin and yang. :-)

superspryte wrote:Not to mention it has to stay within the printing boundaries.

It would make a cool design-by-humans or threadless shirt, though- might want to enter it there in 60 days.

Badgers? We don't need no steenking badgers!


Heheh... sorry... just saw Weird Al's old movie UHF the other day. :-)

Re: Yin Yang

Ooh. That's pretty spiffy, I have to say.

tgentry wrote:Great work Bluchez! I'd wear this, I hope it does well.

Thanks. It has been runnin very good so far. I hope it makes it up near the top. Breakin through the top set is going to be pretty unlikely, but a high place is good enough for me.

sooo cool

Re: Rule of thumb

Someone submitted one like this already in this derby and got rejected due to a vector illustration of the same idea found on another site. However, I still like the design, but would much rather see it with white/blue text on a black or navy tee...just not a fan of bright colors (I try not to draw too much attention to myself that wuz teh funneh).

Lincoln seems very much at home in this fog cabin. GMV.

Re: Alas poor Yorik

Oh kick ass...I want one too!

Re: Encore!

this is super clever. good job. love it.

Re: flammable material

very cool!

Re: Elk You

I so want this- nice!

3d scenic programming wordplay?! And I though I'd never be tempted to get a tattoo of anything. Your left and right brain must play very well with each other; what a sweet entry. GMV, and I'd gladly pay a couple bucks for a screen saver of this. The procession of "while"-sheep would even work on an animated loop level.

Aw, cmon.. it's a fairly common ailment for elderly men, which is easily treatible. I'm not saying it's totally G rated, but it certainly isn't lewd or prurient. IMO, a design making fun of male biological issues isn't any worse than zombies and other images of death that have been sold on this site...

Re: Super Star (RED)

dude this shirt is fricken awesome.
everyone should vote for this, so original, so good good looking and ah!
only shirt in this derby that caught my eye.

Re: Elemental

i love this! hope you win!!!

I kind of like that about it.

Re: Sleepy Koala

Thanks for all the votes! This is only the second derby I have entered, I would appreciate any feedback any of you could give me!
