dude, what would you find wearable?

i hope you don't win...

reason: you should sell these shirts to Starbucks! you'd make a killing in their employee shirt program!

I'm all for you making a TON more money.

Re: Blue Light Special!!!

i like it

... that said... i also want you to win... cuz i want one now.

Re: Energy Bouquet

Re: Energy Bouquet

Keep improving! :-)

Have to agree with you. The pump is too flat for one, plus it would help the overall point to maybe include both the total sale and total gallons. I'll tinker with it but may not have chance to re-post it (ugh...want more time!!). Thanks for the pointers!

Plasma ball


A plasma lamp has the look of colored light beams extending from the center ball to the outside glass. When you put your hand near it, a brighter beam seems to connect your hand to the center. This phenomenon tends to put people in a trance when stared at for a prolonged amount of time. It also has the ability to burn through Play-do when placed on the outer surface, a power many would like to use on enemies' foreheads. Do not operate this object near laptop computers, as it has the capacity to interfere with the touchpad. This has been known to make laptop computers add incomprehensible words into emails and change words in illegally downloaded music. Wearing of this shirt would not have the same effect.

Nobody noticed that my entry description here got a little weird... :0(

Re: Blue Flame

I really want this one to win. I hope it gets lots of votes this week! I still have not bought a black woot shirt. This would be the first. Good luck!

So, not much in the way of an explanation, but the hamster is generating the energy for his Idea. In a way this is me thinking of the shirt design. I guess the analogy would be better expressed if The hamster WAS the lightbulb above him.

Re: Typical Weekday Morning

I saw your sketch for this and could not wait to see the finished product. Very well done! GMV

Re: Chasing Windmills

Wow!! Beautiful colors and wonderful design. Congrats on the fog status.

Re: Dream Eater.

Yea Edgar! This needs to be in the fog again. Very trippy!

Re: Mousetrap

For your consideration

Re: Green Energy

Niiiice!

You're welcome. Good luck to you.

The hard way of using a hamster in a wheel to light up a lightbulb, with props to Rube Goldberg.

what?
beams don't normally shoot from your bellybutton?

......perhaps i should cut back on the caffeine

Re: The long way around

In step F, given the position of the water, I would expect the wheel to turn clockwise rather than ccw as you've indicated. Also, I'm not sure how the turning wheel would turn on the electric fan. However, the idea is great and the artwork is excellent. I suggest you fix the direction of the arrow on step F (or reposition the spilling water appropriately) and remove the rectangle around the design (boxes usually aren't appreciated) and resubmit. Nice job though!

Re: The Nectar of the Gods

Very swank, Tgent. Wish there was room for a little more colour in the hummingbird, but still, very swank

Re: The Nectar of the Gods

Re: Miracle Lifeforce

did you see the credit sequence on this week's "weeds" episode?
they slipped in the producers and writer's names in an EKG wave

great design

Re: energy crisis!

Great idea and use of color. But my favorite part is the look on the robot's face. Priceless. I voted and will definitely buy if this makes it. Great job.

The water wheel is attached to a belt that that is attached to the fan thereby making the fan spin good call on the water though.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=18535]Dystopian Alternative Energy Proposal

Uh...I hate to break it to you but that "Greek guy" your referring to is probably Archimedes and what he actually said was "Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world." Cool idea anyway though.

Re: Earth's Energy

If you want to be technical-Earth actually runs on nuclear decay in its core and sunlight plus, various chemical reactions and physical changes but the whole magic tree-earth-moon thing works to-great design.

Picky, picky. No seriously, thanks for the pointers -- that's why I'm an artist, not an engineer. I debated about the border, so I'm resubbing with water wheel fixed and border removed. Thanks!

Goldberg 2.0, with water wheel motion corrected and border removed, per suggestions from the voters. Thanks for the tips.

The startled bird's eye looks like it came straight from several of the caffeine submissions

Sweet shirt, I just couldn't stand the border before. GMV.

Re: The long way around (resub)

Thumbs up.

Now you should remove the first version. Click the red X - you should see it on the top right above your design.

Even so, I don't think "energy" is very clear here.

Also, the brown in the background will print awful. but hey, why would anyone bother thinking about whether a shirt will look good in real life before voting? Keep doin' what you're doin'... hope you love your horribly printed crapshoot... you voted!

Re: Fiery Robot Rage

Very cool!

This one is way neat. I can see myself wearing this one.

Re: energy crisis!

You always do a great job with light and shading.

Re: Power Nap

Nice.. i could use a recharge myself

I really love this alot!!! I hope it wins!

BTW---does the cloud look like an angry teddy bear to anyone else but me? *:-)

Yeah i tried a buncha different colors, but none read as well as the light blue to me, and i'm lazy so i didn't want to change them all
