Re: Mother Teresa

Nice idea, but the framing feels a bit off to me.

i didnt have enough money for a gift when i was nine so i walked to 3 baseball card stores to sell my favorite cards. i still didnt have enough. when i started crying the man that worked at the hallmark type store i went to gave me what i wanted for what i had cause he thought it wass apropriate... it was a statue of a sad boy that said it the thought that counts

He's been printed multiple times at Threadless and Design By Humans (and if I wasn't lazy I'm sure I could find more) but I personally associate his work most with Uneetee, where I believe he's been printed most.

He's actually been 'round these parts before, at least in the Night derby, where he submit one of my personal favorites of the week... a modified version is for sale over at uneetee. I personally like the starkness of the original better, but the uneetee rendition will, at some point, be my first purchase from that site.

Anyway, welcome back, Radio. Hopefully my support won't stifle this design's success... it's my early favorite

wow-- thanks for posting the link to Design By Humans-- that's a great site and Harvest by radiomode is a lovely shirt.

And, *phew* the kid with the anaphylactic egg allergy has gone home. I was getting twitchy about eggs while he was here overnight! Our own allergies are enough for me to handle, thanks!

My parents tell me that I'm allergic to fava beans. So if you ever want to kill me...

Perhaps the roast chicken is actually made of tofu. Poor little egg just doesn't know it. Thanks for your vote!

Trauma causes vision loss. Baby might also have some bouts of temporary insanity. You could say that he's... cracked.

I also thought of turtle ducks...

I'll give you a vote. My pastor collects all things duck, so if it wins I'll buy one for him. =P

thanks

how so?

Re: Mother Teresa

This is beautiful. Does Mother Teresa fall under "celebrity likeness?"

Re: Little Red Motherhood

"You are NOT the father!" *giggles*

Re: Lady Madonna

Lady Godiva. I didn't even know it from art, just from random Engineering lore at my university. XP

kls, how did you master so many different styles? Makes me wish I had gone into art instead of engineering.

Re: Somebody's got to love them (resub)

Ooh. Looks good on grass.

I didn't get a chance to comment on your other entry. I really like the scatter of flower petals.

Re: Somebody's got to love them (resub)

After much debate with the boyfriend, I decided green was a better color shirt for this design. And, I added the text, and made the design a little smaller.
If you already voted for the blue shirt version, and you like this better, please consider revoting
I don't expect to win, but everyone's feedback really helps me get better.
Leave a comment.
Thanks.

Re: Story Time

sokowa, why isn't anything screaming?

Wait... is that bunny screaming?

I hadn't even considered that, but then again, I didn't know there was a restriction on that until I saw the Chuck shirt got rejected for it. I really hope this doesn't count...

dont get me wrong, i like it, but it feels very squared off.

eHalcyon wrote:Oh wait... crysantheMUM?

Yep and thanks for the nice comment

Like it's just a square image you mean?

Re: Egg Baby Trauma

Thanks for your comment!

You know, I was trying to figure out how I could use the "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" idea for this competition. I couldn't do it.
And yes, I did the baby egg thing in school. But I'm from the UK, so I don't know if it's standard US education. Should be.
Good luck.

Re: Mom's Tools

If you're Chinese, it's the handle end of a feather duster. Wrapped in leather, nice and whip-like. I think bamboo has also been used. =P

I didn't know, either. I hope not....this is just lovely.

Re: Mom, how do I NOM NOM NOM the bamboo like you?

Version 2.1, I guess. Hopefully you guys can cope with the color change.

Headrow wrote:Like it's just a square image you mean?

yes, the angle of the text combined with the two cropped edges of the cloth.

Already rejected once... no need to resubmit it.

This one is by Radiomode too. (I voted for this one on DBH, so I was very happy to see it win! Congratulations BTW!)

fillengroovy wrote:Well it was'nt winning so I'm not too upset, however, I do not copy other artist's work. I have stuff all over the internet and am an acomplished illustrator and freelance artist. I did recognize the similarity once I saw it, but the shirt pales in comparisson and it was'nt even printed anyway. Whatever. I don't copy.

You're right that yours was better. But woot does say it has to be original art - meaning that it hasn't been done before (I guess that means submitted counts).

Re: ATTILA THE MOM

Dsladek, I think this may be your best yet. Awesome job man! I like the text. the line shading is great and the colors really work together.

Olive looks good too, though I really liked it on red. It... glistened.

Here's a vote, to get you on your way again.

Re: Lost Turtle

hahahahahahaha

OOPS!

Re: The Original Mother V.2

I really like this, but I wear my babies... either on my back, or on my chest, or on my hip. But I wear them often, and with pride.

Re: Hero

I see you changed it from the trademarked "O". hopefully this one gets to stay.

Re: Are You My Mother?!

Not sure... but isn't this the title of a very popular children's book? Possible copyright issues?

Re: If all your friends...

It took me like an hour before I figured this out. I thought it was a very dark mass-suicide until I realized the title was " If all your friends", and then I realized there was a bridge, and then I put two and two together, and then I got it.
And I liked it.
Until then I was a little disturbed that motherhood made you think of suicide.
I'm such a dilweed.

Re: If all your friends...

Great design! Don't know if I'd be able to have a whole sheet of ink on my chest, but its super cool none the less.

Re: ATTILA THE MOM

ha ha ha. That was my mom. Though, I don't look like a hun. Much.

Re: Dragonly Love

thanks again everyone for the votes and comments! I hope it can hang in there and stay in the fog, after all dragons love to hide in the fog and catch unsuspecting knights!

Re: Your Mother Wears Army Boots

That vacuums it got rejected! I thought it fit perfectly. Great design though!

Re: Mothering the Queen (v.2)

Man, this shirt (and the original as well) is just great. I don't know why, but on this version the W-Y jumped out at me and I caught it this time, really nice touch there!

Re: ATTILA THE MOM

very cool. You have a great style with the small hands and feet. Very original!

Re: Mother Nature

I find it horribly sad that this got rejected on the basis that its a resub, yet Tgentry's design is still 1 out of the fog when the only difference between its original and this one is a curler and mom on the coffee mug? What about Cho's design that won this week? I don't mind resubs THAT much, but if a beatiful design like this gets rejected on the basis of resub, why aren't the others?

Re: Modern Avian Motherhood

Beautiful work TGentry.
