i couldn't have said it any better, now i'm getting all sniffly.

Now you're just using the normally humourous replacement words as your own insults. This is how profanities become profanities! I'd say you have a dirty mouth, but you're typing. You have dirty hands. Your mother should wash your hands out with soap. Yeah, I said it. Want to make something of it?

hey, please don't tattle on me though. i'm never gonna win one of these anyway because my shirts never look professional enough (and i don't have pirates or robots or anything). i think it's just fun to try. and i'm sure i'll get rejected eventually anyway

Re: A Mother's Heart

great job! i was trying to do a heart shape with mine, but couldn't get it right. lovely design.

Re: Mom Defeats Boogie Man

I like the look of it... neat twist on a retro look

However how hard would it be to have it look like mom's walking away from the boogie man? That might make it look more like she defeated him rather than looking like they're walking up on him already lying on the ground...

Isn't he reading a book? About good behavior?

Re: Queen Bee

You're welcome! Unfortunately it's suffering from resubitis, in which most resubs don't do nearly as well as they previously did.

I think the simplicity is why the voters are accepting it. It could also be the blue palette he used instead of his regular green/yellow/white scheme.

I like to think he snuck a game-boy back there...

Would it be better if she was peering out of a pocket, complete with pocket protector? I could put painted nailed hands on the pocket... could be like "I've got a geek mom in my pocket"

I thought it was pretty obvious, and I like it.

Re: ATTILA THE MOM

Oh my god <3 thats -awesome-

Everyone assumes this is Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. I use public domain images for models to my art and am not intentionally copying Bill Watterson.
But I'm sure someone will post this image because I just looked it up


Do what you want. My picture isn't going to win anyways so it doesn't really matter other than just being really discouraging

Re: Mom- expert juggler

I like this concept a lot, but wish she were juggling a baby instead of the bottle and pacifier. I could pretend that the bottle has pumped milk in it and ignore the pacifier, but a baby flying through the air would just be awesome.

Re: If all your friends...

This would be perfect as a poster. :-)

SkekTek wrote:This was a challenge for me- trying to make a realistic person. I might do an alternate design of a more frayed woman, that's an idea. I did like that this mom makes juggling all that stuff look easy. The wife always seems to be so totally calm when all heck is breaking loose... Thanks for the idea and comments!

I agree with your portrayal of the making-it-look-easy mom - whether or not that's how I really appear, that's how I like to think I appear :-P

Re: Two of Mom's Favorite Things

My mom would love it!

Re: Mama Bear

Cute! The purples look great onscreen. Will they show up well on an asphalt background? I have Eating Healthy (even though it's been claimed and spirited off by one of my teenagers ) and hope this prints as well as that one. I know someone who would love this.

Re: First breath

The shirt's uber awesome...except I hate white shirts. Shame...shoulda put it on light blue or something.

thanks for the feedback. i like your idea. not sure i'll get around to resubbing, but i appreciate the comment.

Re: Her Motherly Nature

Thanks for all the new comments and votes! I appreciate it.

This one really needs your vote if it's going to stay in the top 4. Haven't seen it in the hotness, so it might be struggling. If you like it and would buy it for someone you know, please vote for it. Thank you!

Re: Computing for two

Thanks to everyone that's voted on my shirt so far. I tried to keep it gender neutral.

Re: Queen Bee

Nice work... I like this design a lot. I like the choice of grey for the background as well... nice against the yellow bees.

Re: Little Red Motherhood

Zenne, you tickly my insides. Hilarity!

I like your design a lot, I'd totally wear this shirt. People should stop linking other shirts that may or may not share some of the same features. If it's an obvious direct copyright, that's ok but seems like people are just trying to take away from your art. :/

I always thought it went OM NOM NOM, but nice shirt none the less. ;)

I love this design! Perhaps a lighter color would show off the details better though.

That third thing is just a box of band-aids, but I'm happy it came across as first-aid kit, too (at least that was close). It's my first entry - thanks so much for giving me a vote!

Re: Mo-om... he’s squishing me!

Wow, thats pretty powerful.
I hope your shirt wins :]

Thanks! The above comments about "I think your shirt is a ripoff of x or y" is pretty much par for the course at any shirt site. You'll see the same stuff at Threadless or anywhere else where the public at large is invited to share their views. I do agree that if a design is a really a direct copy of another, it should be brought to the attention of the site's moderating team. Sometimes the comments get carried away, though.
