Meteor falls on Chihuahua.... Ya can't make this stuff up! it fell on chihuahua mexico, but hey that wouldn't be nearly as funny..

I agree. I do wish that there was a way to see how these shirts would come out, though. Someone posted a list of shirts earlier that looked great on screen but printed horribly.

Isn't there some kind of print process simulation that can let us see what these shirts will look like in real life?

Re: 1985 - Tetris released

Sorry for artifacts.

i hate nuclear misconceptions.

I know, doesn't stop me from representing the misconception that happened. Besides, it's just supposed to be a funny shirt.

Re: 1969- Great Moon Hoax

I love this. It reminds me of a scene in hairspray when Tracy gets on the corny collins show and penny goes to her house to show her parents and edna says

I read all about it, it's a big fake hollywood set. You think I'm gonna think he's really up there

then penny says, it's not john glenn mrs turnblad!

Yeah. I've seen this movie a few times.

I'll definitely stay up til midnight to buy this shirt.

dig it

Indeed, if you are claiming that 'black power' is not entirely about racism, then I suggest you might benefit from a little history lesson.

In regards to this particular instance, how is this different from the English soccer team giving the adowwuble cutie-patootie salute during the '38 Olympics?

Re: 1973

Wow... I'm up to 8th place... at least for the moment. This is the best I've done since my Lake Ontario Sunset shirt. Thanks for all the votes!

Yes, I really wanted a nice toxic haze or a zombie or two, but alas, my skillz and my dreams forced a tragic split. So, we ended up with two towers. There are other 3 mile island shirts that went a slightly different direction (by way of artistic talent), and I am sure that the designers would appreciate a vote for them if you can not vote for my lonely reactor cooling towers.

Re: 1988

The more I look at this the more I realize I am unreasonably in love with it.
This is the best cat shirt ever. Loving the colors, the details and the cat's expression.
Brilliant and sardonic once again!

Re: 1986: The Legend Was Born

I would certainly buy/vote for this if it were in another color~ Why not green hahaha

No text means no letters, numbers, punctuation, infinity, foreign text (Asian languages), or sign language.

you didnt say arabic.
so we can sub in arabic is what you're saying right?

Re: 1986: The Legend Was Born

Fable,

I wanted to do something Nintendo-ish, but I didn't stop to think that some of those images weren't copyrighted. This shirt is DEFINITELY going to win, and this'll be my first woot shirt purchase .

I was born in '86 as well, and I happen to think Zelda is amazing.

Re: 1979

I see that Three Mile Island is a popular theme, but it was the first thing I got an idea for. Courteous, but honest feedback appreciated.

Re: 1982: Thriller

Not to get technical or anything, but the Thriller Video premiered on Dec 2, 1983.

Re: 1984: purple rain

Is this a resub from the lyrics illustrated derby? This design looks supper familiar. No offense intended, I was just curious.

Re: Wired with Joy

Ooh, sneaky...I didn't even realize the text until I saw it rejected. Poo. I voted for this, too.

Re: 1984: 3.5 inch floppy in 1.4k glory

This is a nice idea and not badly executed.. I could have done without the bubbles though... O well, GMV

Re: Wired with Joy

Huh? Where was there text?

Re: 1969- Great Moon Hoax

Love the shirt!

If I recall correctly, I think one of the main arguments behind the "theory" that we didn't go to the moon is that there's apparently no wind on the moon, yet the flag was blowing in the video.

Yeah... that can easily be fixed, though. Re-do the cord and resub.

Seattlejo wrote:Huh? Where was there text?

Good question...
How do you "design a shirt that somehow relates to the year you were born: through fashion, historical events, cultural trends, the Chinese zodiac, or even the number itself." without using a number?

Re: 1982: Thriller

The one that makes me laugh is the 2nd row, 2nd from the left - I dunno why, but that position is just funny.

Funny shirt - I like it.

Re: 1979

I would suggest either changing the shirt color or changing the color of the shirt that the turtle (is that what that is?) is wearing. They bleed too much together.... good idea though. GMV.

fablefire wrote:I am? Seems I'm the youngin' a lot lately.

By one year, yep. I'm an '85 baby.

Re: 1969- Great Moon Hoax

My dad is a rocket scientist for NASA. I wear this shirt and I might be kicked out of the family. I will wear it anyway. Received my vote.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that (or looked it up). But, I do remember that this year was thriller's big 25th anniversary.

Re: The Year of the Ox 1961

I'm afraid Chinese characters are still considered text. This will be rejected.

If the designer took the controller and had it on the shirt 77 times, it would represent the number 77 without containing text.

Another good example I've seen: someone born in 1984 could do something from the book 1984 even though that's not the year the book came out, since the title is the same number.

I think someone explained it earlier... If you were born in 1984 you can do something about 1984 (the novel) even though the novel was written in 1948. If you were born in 1999 you can do a shirt about Prince's song.

You just can't put the actual digits in the design.

It's pretty easy to be sure: woot doesn't offer pink.

It's also well established that a lot of people's monitors display the creme as pinkish. Might be time to adjust the monitor settings.

Re: 1973

Awesomeness... Two, two, two references in one! I would definitely buy this...

Re: 1981

1981 held the release of the Heman action figure series and brought joy to kids everywhere! who didnt wanna be a rediculously buff dude thats rides a green tiger!... well girls i guess...

That wasnt my problem, i literally didnt see the text in the cord until it was pointed out.

Re: 1981

Without going into the whole "copyright" tirade and "draw it yourself" tirade, I would like to note that He-Man looks like a Kennedy when live-traced.

Re: 1979

i think this is one of the best you've ever done bluchez.
good luck dude.

Re: 1979

Very nice detailed design. Great job on the fading out! I'm not crazy about the colors but what can you do . GMV

nope, i didn't do any enters for that derby... if someone did something like this for that derby please let me know and ill pull this design.
