I keep forgetting that it automatically sensors certain words. Its a bummer that it got rejected.

It is a true story! That is why I got so
excited about this theme.

He actually married the girlfriend he was with when the photo was taken. She was just a random nurse. That is why they had such a hard time finding the two individuals.

Thanks for all the nice comments about the conception and design of our shirt!

Fantastic Jas, amazing!

Re: Black Death: Rat Trap Revenge v2

Just change the small image (the preview image). Didn't like my original pick... don't know if it really makes a difference or not, but I needed peace of mind!

Ninjas with chainsaws on sharks is awesome. I love the peg legged parrot. And doing it with 2 tones: impressive.

Re: A Ballad of John Henry

Eyewitness reports contradict what the company's telling the townspeople. It wasn't a race against some steam powered spike driver that killed Big john, it was him putting down the company's new steam powered "smart" locomotive that started running amok...

Resubbed from the steampunk derby (hopefully with enough changes), 5 colors on creme.

edit: For those unfamiliar with John Henry, here's a good article about him.

edit #2: Also, here's a version of the battle set to music. Not for the feint of heart!

Awesome.

I won't comment on how well it holds to the derby guidelines because I feel it is a little too restrictive as it is that I think there is a need for some wiggle room.

But what kills this for me is the placement on the shirt. If I want an off-center design, I want it low, not high. Just my two cents.

Ya! It's obviously Stalin!

Oh, wait. He's worse. We were just buddy-buddy with him for a while. Whoops.

But I know I've seen this concept before. If it gets rejected, it'd be for that reason IMO.

Re: Grrrrrrrr. Make me some tea!

This shirt is absolutely glorious. I want it on my person. I am also now adopting this story as fact. If they had taught me history like this in school, I might still remember it all. GMV for sure. Excellent job!

Could you submit it on a green or a grey too?

Re: Grrrrrrrr. Make me some tea!

feel good design

Thanks, Lucky! I am very pleased with the way this turned out, although it does not seem to be very popular. Maybe it is too sad :-(

Thanks, notnorm! Who knew whales cry bubbles!

hmmm. I hadn't thought of that. The guy in college had a red Che t-shirt.

But what the hell. Got nothing to lose on this design.

Re: The Invasion Begins

The reflection in the alien's eyes is a creative idea. Nice!

I really love this. I think the designs could be *slightly* bigger, but I still like having a lot of that negative space. Just big enough to get it from about 10 feet away; currently, I think it might be a bit too small for that.

Also: your thumbnail doesn't do it justice.

GMV! And if you resub a larger one, that one does as well!

Re: The Missing Gene

This made me LOL! I can't wait to buy your Oscar shirt (crosses fingers for the morning).

Re: A Ballad of John Henry

Omelets made great. This is just so freaking awesome. Want.

guardian66 wrote:I think the problem is, it maybe historical, but the theme is what other people were doing or what else was going on during the historical event!

Agreed. If the TV was killing the "Radio Star" it becomes more applicable to the theme. Or, as I PMed CC, if a VCR was doing it even better ("put the blame on VCR").

Re: That´s one small step...

Very clever!

Re: The Last Battle – The Golden Age of Piracy’s blood

Clearly one of the most creative pirates vs. ninjas I have seen out there. I am going to stare at the details for a while and admire your work.

Re: Abe's Dark Secret

How is this at all on topic???

Where is the historical event?

Where is the eye witness?

This does not follow the theme even slightly

Re: I Laika You

Vibrant colors and loving the dog's excited expression!

Re: titanic!

Night shirts are tough but it's tough to see the dark squid and dark boat design on a dark blue shirt. If you submitted a version where it was easier to see the design I'd vote for it though because it's a clever design.

Re: That´s one small step...

I love the idea, not sure about all the grey though.

Re: That´s one small step...

All I am saying is, yes.

I find your version both believable and worthy.

(I wrote everything above with Comic Book Guy telling me what to say in my head.)

I just gotta say... you're gonna Comic Book Guy on the statue not being around at the right time and all, but the fact that the island is in the Pacific and the Titanic sunk in the Atlantic isn't worth a mention? ;)

Re: A Ballad of John Henry

Oh yeah I totally remember when this happened in History class...not

Its a phenomenal design...you have major artistic skill, but unfortunately the theme was bystanders at historical events, and

1. This never happened
2. There is no bystader at all

Re: First to Flight

YES! Finally a design that actually follows the theme of the derby!

great concept + great design + on topic = +1vote

Re: You sank my Titanic!

Funny! GMV

Re: That´s one small step...

Ohmygoodness! o.o

Re: Little Billy Vs. The Hindenburg

Little Billy took the first shot but the Hindenburg may have it's revenge.

Re: Ben's Motivation

I liked the slightly more perverted Ben Franklin from your sketch...this is funny too though...

Failure makes the road longer and me stronger.

I unfortunately have to agree. This is beyond awesome, but it really has nothing to do with anything as far as this theme goes.

To be fair, this has got to be one of the weakest themes to date. For God's sakes, Draxxx made a design with Ben Franklin in it.

Re: That´s one small step...

I couldn't purchase this shirt; that little guy's face is breaking my heart.

You still get <3, though.

Re: Rose is a liar

Poopie. Didn't notice there is a different (and better) one in the fog. Oh well, gonna have to get a bit more creative next time.

Re: The man who ended the war

If i wear this in school, will i be suspended? Considering we have people being suspended for wearing the American Flag on Cinco de Mayo...probably

Sachmoe64 wrote:This is awesome! I would fully buy one if it were just the middle panel. I don't think it needs the top or bottom. Its clear with out them. Great job!

I agree, I would like this a lot more as just the middle frame, but I'd still buy it in a half a heartbeat!

As a dog lover, I like the theme and the design, but not the black shirt...real dog hair shows up on it too easily.
