everyone who says this about any of james' designs needs to think about this:

All of Cho's designs have sell outs when they win, clearly showing that people who vote for his shirts want to buy them, not simply because his name is jamescho84. When james' designs stop selling out, them you can make your argument. Until then, you cannot prove he wins simply because he has such a good reputation. He wins because he has the superior designs in the eyes of the woot community.

Re: Silicone Castles

Clever!

Re: Suburban Blitzkrieg

Re: Summer Goddess

<3 it and gmv. Sokowa, I hope you do design. You're quite amazing!

Re: Hot, Hot, Hot

Sorry, no text this week. >.<

Love the Asian theme! I am prone toward goldfish/koi art also. Love the design, choice of colors, etc.

Re: Bad News

These poor guys lost their friend, vote to end the persecution of helpless ice cream cones attacked by hot summer days!

Very cute!

I am not saying that your design LOOKS like him, because it doesn't, but the "attitude" depicted kinda reminds me of Bender :D

Re: I Scream, You Scream

Cho has become a sort of designer-brand around woot me thinks, but he has certainly got there through some damn hard work. Great illustration as always, but i fear woot is moving further and further from design into the land of cartoon images.

Re: Summer Goddess

I like all your designs. I really like this one but, I wouldn't buy it because it is such a light color. Maybe the orange on red or something else that is darker?

Re: Suburban Blitzkrieg

Wow, everyone really loves this shirt. And I agree the idea is cute, but I just wanted to say that even though the artwork is great (it really is!) and those bomb pops look scrumptious (they do!), I will not buy this shirt.

Why?

It just reminds me of war. I've had enough war. I want happy.

Just wanted to say it. I'm sorry.

True, we have an astounding artist amongst us! Cho's combination of imagination, twisted humor, and technical skill are simply amazing.

Interesting, my personal preference for myself is for smaller images, usually not centered. I especially appreciate those designs that are more lower based for my daughter--her wheelchair chest strap is a thick X across the middle of her chest and obscures a lot of designs. I am always on the lookout for shirts that will reveal themselves despite that strap.

Re: Summer Means ICED Tea

Amazing work Cho! How does one compete?

They've been doing that on these shirts. Look at this post from Goldrkness:Mother's Day Shirt Winner They lay a base layer of white beneath the lighter colors so they don't disappear into the darker shirt. They also do this when there's a darker color under a lighter color. (which is why I try to layer the other direction and go from lightest on the bottom, to darkest on top) That doesn't ALWAYS work for me in the long run, but it does help eliminate those extra layers of unneeded ink.

Thanks a ton Mia!

MKugs wrote:I want to know what programs these people are using?

Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, and GIMP mostly, I believe. I use Photoshop primarily, Cho uses Illustrator. I'm more in the minority on the adobe vs adobe program. But with my illustrator program on the fritz, I work well with what I have.

Re: Leopard In The Sun

Re: Lemon Aid

very nice

spamhere wrote:you realize that 60% of the shirt is covered in ink

Gee, fancy that. I hadn't noticed. Somehow it had escaped my attention. :-)

What I am getting at with this design is that the Sun is big. Mindboggling big. I mean you might think that it's a long way down the road to the chemist but that's just peanuts to the Sun.

[tmbg]
The Sun is large. If the Sun was hollow, a million Earths would fit inside. And yet,...it is only a middle sized star![/tmbg]

It's an art shirt. Let it art.

I hope this one wins!

Re: Time to Flip Over

Is that Mr. Christmas Poo from South Park???!!!!???

How in the world does this have any votes at all, let alone dozens? No offense.

No, I have a woot voter cloaking device. Only the really special voters find my designs. Congratulations for making into our special, exclusive club. My reward is purely the exquisite company I keep... who needs 300+ votes and a couple grand? Not me. I'm just designing this stuff to lose and be smug. :^)

Seriously, though, thanks for the vote and the vote of confidence.

perfect size in my opinion...cool concept!

Lhyzz wrote:Guys, if this is too girly for you, buy one for your gf!

Plus, would anyone prefer this on a brown shirt? I have a version like that also. What about lemon?

There's been far too many brown shirts on woot. I like this color.

Re: Heat Wave

I don't understand why the shopping cart is in there.

Re: Fireworks aren't only for 4th of July! (ReSuB2)

Dark and shiny.

I think I could see myself wearing this. GMV.

Re: Summer Escape

i like the design a lot...but i wouldn't buy it simply for how the pink rays end...they're too abrupt.

Re: Summertime

I want one!

Re: dreamin of SURFIN`

oh well I tried hope the next ones better.

Re: The Summer-ai

Come on Wooters! Use your votes to get this design in the fog where it belongs. Vote Summer-ai! Hi-YA!

Re: Oh Burned!!!

Love this design!! I've never owned an orange shirt before, would love to make this my first!

Re: Am I The Only One Concerned?

Am I the only on concerned that my HEAD is on FIRE?

Re: I Scream, You Scream

I'm sorry. I usually don't go with the idea that people vote for shirts based on designers but this shirt is nothing close to spectacular. Your iced tea one is very good but this one is simply drawn and, in my opinion, it does not deserve to be in the top four.

I thought the same thing. Except, I thought it could be a comment on war. Drop popsicles, not bombs. Just my insight. I will buy this shirt, for that reason among others.
