Re: Athena Rising

Great use of space for your design. +1

Re: Lion in the Tall Grass

Why are you showing the lion on 3 backgrounds other than the lemon? People will not have a choice of shirt color.

I'm usually all about the cool colors, but for some reason I really prefer this one.

Good luck!

Re: Art deco frog V2

I like the other one better, just wish it was on a brown shirt. Still its nice.

Re: Clockwork deco frog V3

Yay!! GMV. Looks nice.

Re: Elements of the City

I'm not sure the skyline works, and I can't deal with the underwear waves.

But I adore what's going on in her hair.

Really torn here ...

Re: Clockwork deco frog V3

Oh! Wow. Taking the box off really did make a huge difference. (And I'd've never figured that out. Thanks to those who did!) I kinda liked it before; this one, I can vote for.

While that may be true, art deco does have a specific style and certain elements. So while there is a lot that is up to interpretation with any art movement, there are also specifics that make up the movement itself.

That being said, I do like the design of this piece whether it is actually art deco or not. And if it does get rejected (which I doubt it will because there are a lot of entrees that basically don't have any art deco elements), then I hope you can find another place that will print it.

Re: Get on the Mike

Is this a some dude's uncle tracy reference, becasue I never read the comic? I get that vibe from it.

Re: Bomb Deco

This shirt is the bomb.

Re: Classic Kong

awesome. classic. This better win... *angry face*

Re: Bowl Deco

I really like this design - but I was kind of hoping that it would be on the top of the shirt instead of in the center.

Hope you get your Photoshop/Illustrator tips! Wish I was cool enough to have some for you!

Re: Abstract Art Deco

I like this, even though it is more noveau-ish, but who cares. The fact that woot expects to be able to establish/enforce stylistic restrictions on an entire era of art. I think as long as you're not directly copying any images or icons that you're ok.

Re: ...with the World on his shoulders.

When I saw the derby subject I too had Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged on my mind. Love the design. GMV!

Re: Sunshine

Wow, this is really pretty! Love the simplicity

Re: Breakfast (color)

I like this version, though the dark reddish-brown could use more contrast from the t-shirt color. I could barely tell there's an edge to the toast.

I think that was the point of this design. He is making a play on the Gothem reference in Woot's description this week. A Gothem-esque skyline and reflection on the water to look like a Batman signal. Very clever. Not sure if Woot will reject it or not, but this design has my vote.

Re: ...with the World on his shoulders.

I will buy this shirt

Re: I Dream of Gears

Beautiful illustration...the birds are great; I really like mechanical birds for some reason. And, maybe it's a matter of preference, or I don't know what I'm talking about, but her nose bothers me - it looks too hard - too many lines, like that L shape that the lines make, and it doesn't seem to fit with the smooth lines in the eyes and lips. Even so, this is really awesome.

Re: Decobot Discovers Love

The colors are very attractive, and so is the design. I keep coming back to look at it. Great work!

Not sure about that planetty orb up there though.

Yeah, the original Batman was set in the '20s and '30s, smack dab in the middle of the Art Deco period. That, and the fact that Gotham city was almost directly modeled after New York, which at the time had a predominantly Art Deco skyline. That style influenced most of the artwork for the comic and subsequent shows/movies what have you... I guess you need to know your history a little for this to make sense, but thanks for the support!

Re: Construct

I keep thinking iron man when I look at this design. Personally, I like this style of yours. I much more prefer this type of shirt to the bulk of your entries. And I know that if it works, you should keep doing it, but I would like to see woot move away from the uber cute stuff we've all become accustomed to.

Re: You are the agent of change (resub)

Re: Saturn

This started out as my wife's Saturn, The hood got stretched and I put a gaudy hood ornament on it... I put more details and pictures on the blog.

Re: The Rabbit's Weird Dream

Trippy! (I like it)

Re: Abstract Art Deco

Very pretty. Nice textures too.

I can't even put a finger on it, but there's something I find strangely compelling about this design.

+1. Nice work.

Re: 88 Steps (v2)

I wouldn't wear this, but, I do think this is at least a little closer to art deco than your other entry.

This is really nice for your first entry. Nice colors especially.

chade2001 wrote:Deco enough for you? I'm not sure either! hahah

I still don't really know what art deco is either. I'm sitting this one out. I think this design is pretty awesome though (deco or not).

Hermes and a Vespa make art deco right?
Well I hope so, I spent the whole time thinking, "man I really nailed art deco." Critique is welcome.

He's off to deliver a message to Apollo

oh yeah. spot on
