Re: Know your bard.

You say there are no known performances of Macbeth during Shakespear's life time. It should say there WERE no known performances. You were in present and then past tense. You need to pick one.

Re: Let Slip the Emoticons of War

ha! full of armed mirth.

Re: Read The Whole Book!

Nicely done. +1

Re: Shakespeare A-Z

Brilliantly done.

Re: Shakespeare A-Z

This is adorable! What a great concept and I love the attention to detail. I love this and would buy it in a heartbeat.

clever

Re: The Poet's Weapons

Sweeping, maybe because of the quill, but in a grand style.

Re: Shakespeare Suicide Squad

I was trying to identify the 2nd person from the left, when I found this quote - which may or may not be true.
"Suicide occurs an unlucky thirteen times in Shakespeare’s plays. It occurs in Romeo and Juliet where both Romeo and Juliet commit suicide, in Julius Caesar where both Cassius and Brutus die by consensual stabbing, as well as Brutus’ wife Portia, in Othello where Othello stabs himself, in Hamlet where Ophelia is said to have "drowned" in suspicious circumstances, in Macbeth when Lady Macbeth dies, and finally in Antony and Cleopatra where suicide occurs an astounding five times (Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Charmian, Iras and Eros)."

Re: Read The Whole Book!

After several disappointing dailies, and derbies about topics I didn't really care about (DEVO? Really, guys?), this is the first shirt in a long while that I would actually buy. I hope this one wins, so I can do so! Excellent, excellent job.

Re: Lord Macbeth

Oh my goodness. Great work! Can tell you spent a lot of time and effort on this one. Definitely got my vote. Goodluck!

Re: Perchance to Dream

This is really nice. I like the feeling of this design; also, I think this works well on a blue shirt. Might be one of the only blue shirts I'd wear.

Re: Queen Mab

I really like how you did this, however, I think I would like it without the text.

Re: The THING's the play

I just hope this qualifies as parody!Fingers crossed!

I have like 10 people I told about this shirt and they are all in for one, I hope it wins to restore the Woot honor that has been missing from the shirt site for a few weeks now.

Extra "a" before "Moor"; "conconsensus"; bad typography, with font sizes changing arbitrarily within each blurb... the idea is fine, but the execution is terrible.

Re: Shakespeare A-Z

Wow, love it! And the character interactions take it to another level too.

Brilliant. ^__^

Re: The Poet's Weapons

Love this shirt, love the colors, love the use of the squares to set off the vertical. Great gift for writer/editor/English-major-with-no-job friends.

Re: Out Damn'd Spot!

I sat down and revised it: I took the idea of Lady MacBeth's revelation of guilty conscience as my inspiration, and combined it with the 1950s cleaning ad style from magazines. I hope you enjoy it!

If anyone is curious as to "why hemlock?", it's one of the many ingredients in the three witches' cauldron at the beginning of the play.

Thank you ahead of time for votes and any comments!

Re: Team Capulet

I guess using words that appear on another shirt qualifies as "similar shirt." Thanks to everyone who voted for my shirts and allowed me to experience my first time in the fog for a solid 24 hours! It was fun while it lasted

Re: Out Damn'd Spot!

I love it Jaden, Macbeth is a personal favorite. Have you ever seen Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood," it's a Japanese take on Macbeth.

Re: Shakespeare A-Z

Great take, love the detail and attention. Also very wearable, which isn't always the case with the coolest designs.

Re: Shakespeare A-Z

Fantastic design! The attention to detail is wonderful. I would love to have this as a poster for my classroom.

AcorNayho wrote:A shake by any other name would taste as sweet. Excellent wordplay! The bard would be delighted. it has inspired me to write thus:

On summer days we seek a treat ice cold
The solstice was but just four days ago.
Enjoyed by all, the youngest and the old
'Tis better than yours but methinks you know

The derby states this week to be the bard's
as artists dare to post their heart's desire
Not all are met in any high regards
Some criticize with posts that feel like fire

But Lo! what's this that satiates the flame?Wow! off the cuff brilliance!
A milky drink impaled by artist's wit
While some may say "He just redrew his name"
the cherry topper is the short of it

The bane of critic and of bitter troll
The sweetness of art decided by poll.

Wow! off the cuff brilliance!

Re: Know your bard.

Third and HOPEFULLY final version is up...

Please re-vote, sorry about all the issues, I'm only human.

Re: Know your Bard. Act III (re-resub)

So my wife (an English major) took a look at my shirt (all three versions) for the first time this morning. She proceeded to smack me on the back of the head and call me an "imbecile"...

so here is a fully corrected shirt... unless I've screwed up again, I am only human you know...

Re: Lord Macbeth

This is an amazing design! Macbeth is probably one of my favorite Shakespearean tragedies and this really shows the mood of the play. I really hope this gets made, I am definitely buying one.

Re: Our Bodies Are Our Gardens

GREAT!
