Shirt.Woot

Re: Urban Painter

I like the choice of the gray shirt. While others see the color as making it too muddy, I see it as showcasing the idea that the artist is "working" to cover a dull gray wall with something beautiful.

Re: Portrait of an Artist at Work

this is amazing

Re: Not for Wimps

Nice design. I'd like even more if the copy read "Pyramid Scheme" or "Original Pyramid Scheme".

Re: Romance in the Workplace

crazy cute

Re: Thunderbolt Factory

KLS - I love your style - and you have my vote on this design - I think some people do not vote for designs such as these because they are overwhelming. My criteria is the following:

1) Is it great art?
2) Is it on theme (and within the rules)?
3) Is it in good taste?
4) Is it an original idea?
5) Would I wear it?

Additionally:

1) Will I buy it if it wins?
2) Did I get a chuckle out of the design? (This may help overcome a shortcoming in the key factors, but not always.)

You usually meet all of the criteria listed above.

Woah... it's kind of like a Cylon

GMV Mitohapa, I hope this wins - I don't have a green shirt yet!

Re: Job Selection

great job Adder! i don't get the game reference because I'm not a gamer, but my dad was a fireman for 30+ years, so it gets my vote for that and because i just like it.

on a side note my wife read me the comment that was made yesterday by someone who shall remain nameless.. i see it has been removed (as it should be) but it really angered me on a personal level. respectability has nothing to do with your education or how much money you make. it's about your strength of character. though you and i don't always see eye to eye you have my respect, and that's not easily done. best of luck!

Thanks blammoed! I love your bee shirt - lots of detail and great expressions on the poor little worker bee's faces!

Re: Urban Painter

I'm still on the fence about relation to the theme. I think my biggest problem with it is all anyone has to do is take a design that's totally unrelated to the derby, stick a tiny little painter painting it, and presto, it's about "work". No one looking at it would ever think it was work related unless they were given the full cover story. Have a picture of a sunbathing moose lying around? Just have a little one inch guy painting it and submit. It's not very fair to anyone who did an actual design pertaining to the theme. This is for daily subs or until a derby comes around that's it's on topic for. Since Kduece seems pretty popular it probably won't be rejected, and it will make a good shirt that will sell out, so it's probably a moot point discussing it.

Re: Squidies

Thanks, Andy!

This MUST win, so that I may purchase it and have it for my very own.

On a side note this made me think of the time at Kings Island amusement park when they had the cartoon character "Jabber Jaws" walking around. They had to make the costume look like this guy so he could walk. Anyone remember Jabber jaws?

Oh my gosh - I love 70's cartoons - I can't believe they made an entire cartoon about that silly shark!

Re: notes from a slacker

this has to win! love it!

Thanks to everyone who revoted after the bogus rejection!

Re: BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

Many have seen it. Most don't survive it. It's the Blue Screen of DEATH.

Hope you like.
VOTE!

Re: Canine Clock In

you've outdone yourself with this one loop! amazing work and a reference to one of my all-time favorite Warner Bros. cartoons. GMV

He is wearing clothes. They are hidden by the cloud. And by the way, his woot shirt is in the Heavenly Laundry.

Re: BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

this is realy great, i love the text. I wish the wrapping around on the rope wasn't so thick though. Good luck, A blue screen of death shirt should be popular around here.

Re: Blacksmith of the gods

I love how you can almost feel the heat from the lightning. Well done!

Re: Corporate Shark

This is really good. I keep giggling though because it makes me think of the old SNL skit with the "Land Shark." Anyway, GMV.

I like the idea ... but when I look at it I can't help but think prostitution....

Re: Number Cruncher

Gooooooo Mitohapa

Re: Canine Clock In

Love the way you did the fur on the two main characters as well as the bark on the tree. GMV!

Re: Number Cruncher

i hope more ppl vote for this one,this one is the one i want the most.
it looks awesome.

Very cool.

Re: Satisfied

I love the orange. GMV.

Those arrows aren't force, they're the weight it takes to overcome the springs on the mouse click and keyboard. g is grams, not gravity. If we're working on earth, we can assume 9.81 N/kg. So I'm pretty sure the work calculations are correct, unless we want to get into overcoming the initial static friction.

Re: Blacksmith of the gods

Great shirt, but what does the design above the text and below the figure mean?

nothing. it's a ledge.

Re: Job Selection

I'd just like to thank everyone who gave this design half a shot at success yesterday. I am just as sad as you that it looks like it'll be lucky to make top 20 this week, but I obviously appreciate any votes you might have to swing the momentum back in my favor.
