Shirt.Woot

Re: Neverending Work

I absolutely love this. I think I like it so much because out of the context of the derby theme, it's super random--which suits my sense of humor. Plus, I do love your styling. Definitely gets my vote.

So ummm...HOW is this related to work besides the male text that doesn't go along with the graphics?

On theme or not, I like it. I'd definitely buy this shirt

Has this shirt set a record yet for longest winded commenting?

I offered an explanation above-- I hope reading that will clarify some things. If not, then I'm really sorry! I guess my meaning doesn't communicate as well as I wished it to.

art is work, i can agree with you there, and so IMO this design does meet the derby theme... more or less. points for thinking outside the box.. or cubicle as the case may be.

I agree , more or less . art is work. this design is missing a latter to get to the top of the design, thats all.

I too, agree with you. but Though I wouldn't buy this shirt. It is missing the ladder in which he painted the top of the design.

Simple equation:

This = work > painting koi = work

It's more abstract than some of the designs, but the explanation is a lot better than Ovaltina, my goat I GET PAID FOR PAINTING THINGS SO IT FITS THE TOPIC.

Re: The Night Shift

Welcome to the fog R! I really think people made a nice choice by moving this steadily up the page. I finally noticed that he is punching the sunday card, clever! Good luck.

Re: PRICES TO DRIVE FOR

Aaahhh!!! Fuel for the body. Can't start the day without it. Like trying to start your car with no gas. Enjoy.

Re: PRICES TO DRIVE FOR

Aaahhh!!! Fuel for the body. Starts the day off right. Can't get to work on an empty tank.

Enjoy.

This is quite simply the most asinine complaint I have ever seen about any shirt, any THING really, ever. It shows absolutely NO imagination, no ability to think beyond what is directly presented. I can see using little brick texture, but it isn't needed to sell the design. Not all walls are exposed brick. Anything else would have been too much. As it is, everything is presented beautifully and completely. Any ability to reason would supply all the information you needed to get this shirt. Also, Is it so hard to imagine that KDeuce perhaps thought "I want to do a painter...what should I have him painting..." rather than "How do I get this koi design into this completely unrelated derby..."

I know that you probably don't want my endorsement after that little tirade, KDeuce, but I adore this shirt. It deserves first place. Thumbs up for having the only design this derby to get my vote.

My apoligies for the harshness of this post, I'm in an easily ticked off mood.

This is so true...especially back in the good ol' days. Now they filter the websites you can visit.

Re: The Night Shift

Full of win! This is amazing

Re: Canine Clock In

I praised this on the discussion board, but I'll do it here too in case you missed it. Really really good illustration style! You're very talented.

Re: I'd Rather Be WORKING

I think this is great. I'd wear it. The illustration looks effortlessly drawn (I mean, in a GOOD way).

I didn't think that was the Sunday card, I think that's HIS card. The other cards say "Rainbow", "Moon" and "Stars".

It's great! GMV

Love this one

Heh, it's absolutely obvious for me the guy can fly. Can't you? Oh i'm sorry ;P

some of the most awesome shirts I've ever seen were on this yellow...and were rejected because of the shirt color. : (

Yes! And headlessness is very in for the fall (you've probably heard).

ticklecricket wrote:GAHH Where is your model's head?!!?!

Ees creepy, no? I think nowadays you're supposed to call it "facially challenged" though.

From a simple story about my mom screaming about a mouse and saying "shew, shew, go away" (like that was gonna help) to sperm... what a world what a world...it is a mouse though and it sits at my desk at work...photo taken then rendered in photoshop!

looks like sperm to me, too.

Re: drowning in my cubicle

Oh god. This is my worst fear. I can't even think about it! Trapped... at a desk job! The drowning would probably suck too.

Re: Job in the Sky

I think this would look amazing on an actual shirt. The cartoony version doesn't do it justice. Good work.

Re: Vampire office workers at the slaughter cooler.

I like the colors you used.

Re: Soylent Green Corporation

I love love love the idea. I'm not crazy about the font though. I'd make it a simple sci-fi-ish font, nothing fancy. Like what I THINK I remember being on the box of the video. And I vote for "It's all about the people." too. That's much much better. Sorry about all the suggestions I'm giving. I'm sure I'm being annoying. It's only because I love the idea so much!

Re: The Night Shift

Really really good. The color choices especially stand out. Nice style.

This is really cool

Re: Urban Painter

I'm not even going to touch the "Is this really work or not" argument. I just want to say that I love the painter at the bottom, but I'm not crazy about the koi. If there is no ladder, then he should have wings. That is all.

No wait! That's not all! Your style is really very good. You're good. Now that's all!

Re: Blacksmith of the gods

I would have been one of the first people in line to buy this shirt, but then I saw the text at the bottom. It takes a manly shirt and makes it nerdy really quickly. I love mythology as much as the next person, but my love does not extend into t-shirt form. Sorry man, great design but I can't get behind this one.

Re: M.C. Escher: Space Planner for Hire

You know, I had a blueprint design that I was working on, but then I saw this and I thought it was a much better idea, so I scrapped it. Lucky for these guys that there aren't any tricky staircases to nowhere in the office. Nice idea. I like.

I think it looks great! The concept is great with the night animals, but I don't think the drinks are necessary. Maybe you could do oversized animal heads instead of full bodies? And then still have it say Night Crew just like it does. That would rock!

Re: BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

Funny.

I love it - except - I could never pull off wearing a bright yellow shirt like that!

Make it light yellow (like the image background) instead (if it has to be yellow at all).

Thanks Bry! You give me too much credit- as HeidiAnn notes, it does, in fact, simply say "Sun." I thought about perhaps naming it "Helios" or even something like "Kip," but then I'd have to change Moon, rainbow, etc., and it would simply get out of hand.

Regardless, it was a blast to wake up this morning and see this sucker fogged! Thanks for the votes and nice comments, folks. Keep it up!

If I get some time later, I may change that as well as work on the lettering and spacing.

Thanks for the input.

An executive at my old job actually said to us in a meeting, "People are our greatest resource." Hillarious.
