Shirt.Woot

Re: Art Deco Compass

I really like this. It has a very southwest feel to it for me- great!

Re: Art Deco Helltrain (v2)

A more approachable entry, with a better integration of the elements. A skulltrain modeled after the lines of the Art Deco locomotive Commodore Vanderbilt, given a skull front and all. Added the clouds and the sky to tie it together. So now it's 5 colors.

I personally like the filigree but I would love to see this on a brown shirt, without the box.

Re: USSR-Gyle

This is a great idea. Made me laugh.

Re: Breakfast

I also think this would look great with some color.

you see here at woot, the prevailing designers at any given time are not required to follow rules to secure a win. it has always been this way. and by looking at the reckoning list, you will find that this particular artist is the current designer exempt from any and all rules pertinent to a derby. dont blame the designer for flaunting the rules more and more obviously each week. blame woot for not caring. once mermaid man and barnacle boy fall from grace, another will take their place and do precisely the same thing.
i hope this has cleared up any confusion for you.

It also makes for a fantastic shirt.

Now it looks like the Hell train is making a stop at the Happytown Station. I liked the old one more.

I like 'em both, hehehe.

Re: Old-fashioned Drive-By

Very cool design! Love the building & the moon. Reminds me of the Greyhound bus station in Cleveland, OH:

I couldn't integrate the skull wing thing right.. Tried to make it look like the only source of color was the train, and the acid sky.

Re: Caught in the Waves

Inspired by geometry and this poster.

Re: Caught in the Waves

hah, this looks fun!

I would wear both...at the same time....In Hawaii...While doing nothing. Well it would be kinda hot so maybe I would just wear one....

This might be the first derby print in a while to make a sellout if it stays in the fog.

Agreed.

What's even sadder is that when Ramyb first posted this design, everyone said it had nothing to do with art-deco yet of course he wouldn't have changed anything because that would require actual work.

Re: Construct

A nice shirt, yes, but it doesn't read "art deco" to me. It seems more industrial.

This is why you rule.

Re: Decobot Discovers Love

Thank you for an awesome design that cannot be argued as not being deco enough. I really hope this gets into the top three because it is easily the best design I have seen so far in the derby.

This doesn't seem art deco to me.

Re: Heart Deco

This is probably one of the least professional things I've ever seen in the fog. I almost want it to win, so woot can cry over how much of a failure their system is

Re: Construct

Needs more tigers.

This isn't art deco.

Re: They Call Me Kovalevsky

This isn't art deco.

Re: Bomb Deco

This is my favorite entry in the derby so far. Good job.

Re: Life, Love, and Laughter

Not art deco.

Now that you remind me, it certainly does.

Either way, I'm liking this one.

Re: Art Deco - Chess

I had the same problem with the blurry comp this week. Or maybe looking at all these colors is making my eyes water.. not sure. Good job, I really like this design.

Re: Art Deco TNMT

This is not art deco.

Re: Bomb Deco

I really like this one and would buy it if it wins, but it looks like the gradient might be to fine.

Re: 88 Steps

Here's another attempt at art deco style, hope you like how this one turned out

Now that you mention it, I really see that too. I naturally associate that native palette with the deco style, probably because the western traditions had so much geometry in them.

Glad you like it!

Re: Art Deco - Chess

I wish that the placement wasn't so low.

Reminds me of an old Duke Ellington poster I saw in a deli once. GMV Ramy!

The first thing I thought of when I saw this shirt was the Batman symbol.

Re: Bomb Deco

This is one of the best designs in the derby!

Re: Bomb Deco

Totally awesome. One of the few in this derby that are actually ACT DECO.

Nice job.

Re: 88 Steps

As a pianist, I can only hope that this will get printed. Sadly, there is never much love for the ivory keys...

Plus, this shirt seems far more in line with this derby than your first.

Re: I like to watch

The hell?

dankstick wrote:Take a look at this shirt, it is exactly the same in concept to another well done shirt in this derby. I came up with this on my own, posed for the shot, had 100% to do with it. I'm sad to see the idea existed already, but I'm sure this happens. To me, it was profound to think of it and execute it on my own.

Wooters: no concept of "similarity"

ETA: not only do you not understand the difference between "similar" and "both having a rabbit", but you seem to have an incredible air of sour grapes about the whole issue, given other posts this week already. WINNAH!
