I have my own children's book that I'm in the process of trying to get published, though. www.jamiemelanimarshall.com/monster00.html (if you're at all interested)

Awesome job. And love the name of that ebook you worked on. GMV

Re: Cheesecake Escape

I'm not the best when it comes to punctuality...and this was more of a spur of the moment too. Must plan better next time around. Thanks for the cheer tho'

thanks, i'm glad you like it. and no, there are only six colors. i always delete the unused colors from the palette and count them to be sure.

Thanks, if it's not printed here (quite likely) I'll make it available somewhere else after the 60 days have passed. I'll start putting up some indie shirts next week if I can find the time. Thanks again for all your support!

You should do this anyway really, whether you have the linework as the shirt colour or not, as it'll make for a cleaner, less dense screenprint, and save the printer any extra hassle

I do my linework on a separate layer (usually multiple separate layers that eventually get flattened into one layer). If it's a dark shirt colour that I intend to use for the lines, I ctrl+click the layer to select its contents and delete from the colour layers that way. My designs usually end up taking upwards of 20 layers before I flatten everything down into the six (or less) layers for the print-ready file.

dood, awesome design, I'd buy a couple of these, in case the first one wore out!!!

Re: Oh Fudge!

I really, REALLY hope you resub this with a speech bubble saying "Oh Fudge!" in another derby or whenever you can. I'd buy that shirt in a heartbeat. This shirt loses a lot without the title.

Thanks for the encouraging words, all of you. Glad you like it.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=21365]

This rocks. You'd think the woot community would be more into something like this.

Awesome³

YAY!

Re: Yay My Favorite!

Come on people! One last hurrah! You know you want it.

And stop taking votes away people. That's just mean. :''''''[ <-- one really long teardrop

You're in the fog. How can you tell if people are taking votes away?

Yeah Thanks for your support, and I agree with you, I Also want to change the guy on the right...he just pales in comparison to the expression of the guy on the left, If it fits, i will re-sub it later for sure

Although I'm not partial to speech "bubbles" I will have him say "Oh Fudge"

Re: Pastel Parfait

Thanks to everyone that enjoyed the subtle french nod in this piece I appreciate all the votes.

Re: Bad, But OH SO GOOD Apple

Thank you everyone who voted for the apple I'm glad it did rather well.

Looks like a clean shot to the coronary artery.

Massive thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for this design! I really appreciate it. I owe you all some tasty tasty cakes.

Re: Ovaltina, my goat! Steve?!

This shirt cracks me up!! GMV

jeff & menda get kudos too! ;) i know... i know... bear paw!!!

SydneyB wrote:You definitely have that quality! Good luck with your books, and I sure hope you keep entering the derbies!
Was this done by hand then scanned in and "finished up" on the computer?

Thanks! Yeah. I pretty much do all my work that way. I sketch it and ink it and then I color it digitally. Although, I just got a Wacom Cintiq tablet which lets me draw on the screen, so lately I've been doing the inking digitally too. I think I'm a little in love with my tablet. We might marry someday soon, if he'll have me.

Well, thanks Lore Hera! If you want to buy it I think it only costs $4. And I will make a whopping 20 cents in royalties! Soon... soon this book will make me rich! Just a few more copies sold and I will be able to afford a WHOLE pack of gum! Bwahahahaha!

Re: Chocolate Moose (for real this time)

Dude Lenny finally has his shirt!

This shirt deserves to be doing so much better, it's a fantastic design with great execution- I don't understand why it isn't up at the top

Re: Ice Cream From Spaaaaace!

I predict Editor's Choice print for this one. They're all uncultured swine, Chris. Swine, I tell you!

Love it! Hopefully, this will win and I'll have a holiday-themed Woot shirt I can enjoy all season long (October and into November). It's ridiculous to have to shell out an extra $5 for overnight shipping just so it can be relevant for only a day or two.

And I also have the lemon shirt - love that one, too. But that's a summer-themed shirt. It'd be nice to have one for autumn.

These are obviously not Carameologists on a dig, as no self respecting scientist would approve of such destructive measures to access these chambers of confectionary history. Portraying sugar robbers in such a manner is both irresponsible and reprehensible. Whats next, egg poachers in the act? I request.. nay DEMAND you remove such an affront to decency immediatly... (Right after i vote, of course)

Nicely done, Patch.

Riiiight! August is not the best month for Texas or September or October... I guess we have awhile to plan.

Tragic indeed. One of the few I'd wear out of this derby. The concept/color/graphic are perfect.

I will accept these tasty cakes! I keep coming back to drool over it, really hope they print it. Best of luck!

Re: Sundae Best

Totally got my first vote ever...even though I have been a member for months and months. Because I am laaaaazy.

Thanks for not doing a cutesy design - like other people mentioned, I dig the Magritte influence.

Re: Tonge of War

awesome..but I must agree..the improper spelling of tongue kept you from getting my vote..

Re: Yay My Favorite!

these cutesy designs don't always work..but this one certainly did for me..GMV..and my girlfriend's

kappapsichica wrote:There was also a similar design up on Threadless, but it didn't do very well: http://www.threadless.com/submission/65865/choose_wisely/showmore,designs?streetteam=tcritic

Oh goodness yes, that shirt is also ugly. The one here that got rejected is the best one that I have seen on the internet, and I scoured the internet for one after this got rejected. I don't think that it should matter if there is something similar out there, as long as it is better and the submitter came up with the idea on his own without knowing about the previous shirts. Shoot, even if they do, at least they're making it better.
