Simply awesome, I only want two so far in this derby, and this one is my favorite so far.

I love how at a quick glance you understand the shirt, it's not something you need to stare at. It's minimalistic without being pretentious.

Re: Salt Me! Did You See That?!?

I like the concept, but I think it's a bit hard to discern that the snail is strapped to one of those whirligig seeds. And if I had difficulty figuring that one out, I wager woot won't get it immediately either.

Re: Little Green Individualism

I love this shirt. It must win!

Re: mass produced individuality

Awesome statement in this shirt. I'd want one.

I like the concept too, but I thought those seeds came from pine trees for some reason.

Agreed! It's great to see some new talent in the fog.

I have 2 girls and myself I will buy this for when it prints. And it will, I know it.

the cheese looks so happy

So... I do love many shirts that have images across the chest but with the one yellow face's location I can't possibly consider wearing it across the girls. nice idea though!

hooray for vegetarians!

Those whirligig seeds are called samara and fall from maple, ash, elm and a rounder version from hoptree trees. That being said, the piece is really lacking something for me, Travis. I think I'd prefer the leaves to be maple in form since it's such a distinct shape and could could probably open the color palette with that.


Oh Brady, deciduous trees drop seeds, coniferous (like pine trees) drop cones. Sorry, I know too much about trees.

Re: splatter face

if you are going to post around Jessminda, it would be best to put that link in your signature, not post it around in other people's threads.
Go you your "my account" section and at the bottom of the page, there's a box you can add it there so every time you post, it will link it under your post.

Re: I Want That One

I don't really know what is going on here but I really like it. I want one!

This has great wearability. The winning designs are great, but would I actually wear it on a shirt? No. This? Heck yes.

Ahuhu, The Ritalin comment got me. (I have A.D.D.)

I hope you're right!
It is nice, in a world dominated by the same 4 or 5 names in the fog week after week, to know that an underdog can stand a chance at a possible print from time to time. It's pretty early in the game though so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
On a serious note though, beyond any winnings I think the best part is the idea that a simple sketch could possibly become a tangible product....that blows my mind and I keep my fingers crossed that I will get to experience that.

I have some RNA chip data I'd like to put on a shirt.

Thanks -- I'd really like to find a shirt like this if this one doesn't go anywhere.

avhienda01 wrote:Well, maybe I got the whole theme wrong, but what I understood was, showing something that was out of the ordinary I guess, so I thought it would be cool to have a cat chasing a dog up a tree.

Yea, that's not really the theme at all. You're mistaking being different from the collective as just "out of the ordinary". Those are two different things. The whole point of this theme is being an individual, a freethinking, something that has to do with an individual or their relation to the collective. This shirt is just a cute puppy in a tree. It would've fit the "heartbreak" theme from last week, but it doesn't really fit this theme at all.

Re: The last thing through a lemming's mind...

Great shirt. Very good execution of the concept. Clean artwork, and nice color choices. I especially like the POV the lemmings falling and snaking across the shirt. Well done.

Re: Identical Individuality

I see this design, and I suddenly find myself strangely taken by it. Hmmm...

Yeah! You Tell EM!

Re: The Old Ways are Best

I love this, I think it would've looked better on a different color... Still gmv though

Re: Smartasaurus Rex

*grabby hands*
I want one of these! O_O

Daring to be different from all the other carousel horses, Reggie made his great escape.... into reality!

Hmm, I see. Well thanks for letting me know. If it doesn't work for the theme, I guess I'll just try again in the next derby.

This has got to be the BEST shirt ever! There is such a shortage of circus t-shirts. They are all here: Bearded Lady, Stretch Man, Strong Man and Aligator Boy.

Can I have your pity vote?

Haha, grabby hands. I've never seen that emote online, but that's my new favorite. :')

Re: Marching is for the Birds

awesome shirt

Re: The Experiment

I don't know what to say about this one. It's beautiful. I like it a lot.

Ok, it is kinda cute. :P

The composition's really good... but an assassinated president in "bullet time"? *grimace*

I couldn't wear it.

Re: You Have To Try This Guys

Man, this is FLYING up the charts! Should be in the fog within the next day or two.
Rockin goodness!

I don't understand why this isn't higher! It's extremely wearable

Re: Purple Daisy

No. Also. Could you please stop posting. I, and I am sure most everyone else, is getting extremely sick of this double and triple post nonsense.

Re: Marching is for the Birds

It's too blocky for me. I'd rather of the edges of the design kinda disolved away into the shirt rather than having hard edges.
