Yes, I'll send an email request if for one of them to be removed if thats the case

Thanks as always guys.

Very cute pig, pity the shirt's not in blue.

Oh - well - then - already done and up for sale from the same artist!

Better? *g*

Its rejected anyway! ;-)

Re: Something I Must Do

Wow Boots...seems like you're on fire these days. The thumbnail doesn't do this justice but I gotta say it was also such a sweet surprise to see the rest. Beautiful idea and execution. To convey emotion through a t shirt is quite a talent. gmv.

Thanks for the explanation. It gave me a much needed laugh!

This made me laugh.

Re: Something I Must Do

Boots secretly plans to bankrupt people who visit woot.
It's working.

+1. Again.

I'm not a music geek, so I got it perfectly fine.

Re: Lon and Mr. C visit god.

I really like this design and my husband is a huge fan of yours. I wish this design were recognized by the voting majority for just how amazing it truly is! And for what it's worth, you have both our votes

Thank you, lwoodnj, I appreciate your vote!

I would buy this in a second too, wish I had more than one vote to give!

lwoodnj wrote:Incredible Style.

You'll find your shirt supported on all these shirts, and supporting them is the only price to pay for that. Hope you don't mind.

That is very great of you. Thank you again so much!!

I'm sure most of us have fantasized about our toys being alive when we were kids.

yeah, you got the point :D

What is simple for some is difficult for others in many aspects of life. Deal with it and move on. The artist is now aware from previous postings that there are many jet-pack designs out there.

He has a hard time Googling? My three-year old cousin can google.

It's not that it was difficult; it's that the artist a) didn't want to have confirmation that his design was beyond unoriginal or b) (and I know this one is really out there) the artist did google it and didn't care. Maybe he/she works for shirt.woot.

DianaSprinkle wrote:LOL, aw man, now that you mention it I should have made the clouds a cat as well.

I like weird cats a lot. They are one of my favorite things to draw. For instance: The Cat Puking Kittens. Or the Vase Cat.

No, you shouldn't ...really. I don't believe that was the point Adder was addressing.

Cats puking cats? Oh my, the irony of it all ..

endangeredomega wrote:Maybe it's just my obscene levels of exhaustion right now, but looking at this design just made me cry. Seriously.

GMV for reducing me to tears at my desk at work. I guess that's a compliment?

Awww. It is very sad. Cute too. But so sad... :/

Re: Sky Fishing

Don't listen to lwoodnj. Myself and plenty of others like, and have voted for, your art work. Nice job, even if you did start with another concept (gorillaz windmill) you took it in a different direction, and executed it quite well I might add. GMV

PattyFatty wrote:wow!! love this shirt especially now that its on white... you're the greatest cmdixon!!!!!!

oh! i was thinking since you're so good with colors and rainbows and color tornadoes and volcanic pyramids spewing out triangles etc... you should do a design with just a propeller on some flying apparatus that is creating a gusty whirlwind of color all over the place... those are my favorite kind of shirts ... ok i'm done.. keep up the amazing work!!!

Totally agree with the whole propeller color whirlwind shirt idea... my favorite shirts are those with a bunch of vibrant color flying everywhere (http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=8884) and i cant think of anyone better to do it then cmdixon definitely have my vote if you go through with it

Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds V.2

I really hope one of these wins. I'm a lady, and I'm a fan of your designs. I think this is one guys and girls can wear. Usually I plan to buy your designs for my fiancee.

lwoodnj wrote:HAHAH, COLORS! AND A SWAN!

No. There are better examples of color use in this derby, by far, and the "swan becomes origami" is the oldest trick in the book. Just let it go.

...

1. It's a crane. And it is origami, it's not becoming anything.
2. I actually really value your opinion. I'm doing my best to push the envelope, but being creative at 2am can be challenging...

~halftones which don't clash with each other or the shirt, and convey themselves peacefully to create a mood, not just to add frivolous gaudy glow? Check.

~Sleekness while not sacrificing needed detail and maintaining lack of deformity? Check.

~Dark, beady eyes that are not only used in a creature for whom they are appropriate, but nevertheless convey emotion through expression without just seeming empty and dead? Check.

~A concept? Check.

~A concept which pushes the theme without being fully outside the theme or else only on theme incidentally? Check.

Not naming any names, but some people could learn a lot from one Bootsboots piece compared to all of their own.

Seems a little rude to Boots to use her entry as another place to hurl your insults, but maybe that's just me.

Re: Death Rain

Words cannot express my unfathomable love for this shirt. Even with no job, I would happily shell out whatever $10 I can scrape together just for the privilege of owning this masterpiece.

If it was up at Woot first, then Woot holds the rights to it for 60 days, and it shouldn't be up for sale elsewhere for another two months.

If it was up at the other site first, it shouldn't have been submitted here.

(altho I'd want the "maniacal" to not be vastly crazy, but most certainly intense. maybe a tongue out the side of his mouth)

EDIT: actually, thinking about this more really makes me think that it would be a perfect comic idea for the strip Minus. If only that was still running...

I am working on such a variation...

Re: Red Flew

awesome design! I love the red and black on white.

Oh, and the mountains could also be cats and the little shrub grasses. Hmmmm...

Sorry, I got distracted by cats... What was the point that he was addressing?

If it's that there aren't enough cats in it I can totally fix that.



Ah yes, delicious irony.

I simply searched for references for my drawing, not existing designs. At the time I didn't consider there would be any, it didn't cross my mind.

I wouldn't purposefully create something I knew already existed, and I don't work for woot. :\

Re: The Joy of Flight... almost

I enjoyed this shirt. Then I watched the video that you linked. Now I love it :-)
It's a really fun take on the reality. It's well done, and I think very wearable.
And, as HalfWheat said- the Olive shirt is MUCH prettier then the olive template!
+1

You can edit things in the large thread. Looks like the quote format got a bit mussed up in this one and your other comment.

Re: Up, Up and Away v2

I like this one better too. Very cute.

Good luck!

I love this shirt. I hate ET and i am glad he is falling to his death. I got nuthin' against the director i think it was well put together but the plot leaps into the vacuum.

Re: Jets

I love the jets but I think it'd look much better on black.

LOVE it. the design is intricate but not too intricate. i think it could hav dun w/o the clouds tho. i think that the only purpose they served was to show that the cat was flying which i think was pretty obvious.

Re: Fly By Night

"Fly By Night"
My first attempt at using halftones.
Comments and critique welcome.

Re: Something I Must Do

So, I keep track of the derby's pretty regularly, but I don't buy all that often. How many shirts does one really need. That said, I would definitely buy this.

Excellent work.

Re: Fail

can you make this shirt say fail? it would be much better, and incindental text is now allowed.
