Your design is so original and smart that I feel like an Scrooge in comparison. You knocked this one out of the park. I really think your design is one of the few ones on here that is easily understandable. Anybody who's seen the movie will get it. This is great work and I can't wait to buy it as I have no doubt it will win. Killer idea.

Thanks very much! Your idea made me laugh too! Cool to see another take on it.

bedodread wrote:saying "knee" not "ni"

It's just too much of a stretch for me. I don't see it as reinterpretation, because there's only one word that phonetically is "ni" and that's "knee." If one were to wordlessly represent that quote without reinterpretation this would be the exact shirt. I disagree because the interpretation and reinterpretation would be the same design.

I imagine the person depicted here is Johnny Appleseed, who is often said to have worn a pot on his head (although Wikipedia says that he didn't [citation needed] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_appleseed#Subsistence_lifestyle ).

Re: This goes to ELEVEN v2

Istead of "v2" you should have called it "This REALLY goes to ELEVEN."

That'd be funny.

Re: Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner!

Wish I'd gotten this in sooner, but I only just figured out the comp and how to make it work. Six on baby blue. And you try to put this kid in a corner!

i agree the idea is aweseome, but the perspective is way off and bugs me. you should just resub this real fast with the perspective fixed. Cuz as it stands right now the boxes top doesnt match with the bottom, no matter how u look at it

I love this.

I haven't seen the three amigos in forever-but I've always remembered their theme song.

"We are the three ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-migos!"

haha, thanks for bringing back a good memory!

How do you report a copycat violation? This image is the same as another entry, which tells me that both artists probably ripped off the tree with a mouth from somewhere else...

Never mind, I found the tattle link. I'll tattle on both and let Woot figure out who is the original artist.

haha, this is adorable.

Awww, ferrets are crazy. My friend is caring for one while she re-homes the little thing and it gets into everything and has a crazy energy level to keep up with. Not to mention that it knows how to escape it's cage. Sneaky. LOL I can't imagine adding cats into that equation.

That's precisely what makes it so funny, the double entendre.

First, of course it's Johnny Appleseed, who else could it be? In this depiction he needs to use his pot-helmet to deflect incoming arrows, as in the perpetual right "HERE" is Johnny. However, "X" marks the spot, or in today's world, the better known Google push-pin.

The arrow, for me, just doesn't cut it because of its' unclear function. It could be used to hone in on a geographical point; or it could be used in a more generalized way as a tool of identification, i.e., "this" Johnny.

Had these giant push-pins been part of the normal landscape (as would be assumed from the one replacing the arrow in my version of the scene), the juxtaposition of incoming push-pin missiles and a happy, obviously unconcerned Johnny Appleseed would have made this even more amazing. Just saying...

Definition of Reinterpretation: To give a new or different meaning.

The original meaning was NOT to say 'knee', it was to make an amusing sound. This shirt reinterprets it (giving a new meaning) of having them say 'knee', a joint on the human body connecting the leg to the thigh.

This is exactly what the derby requests, and I would definitely buy at least 1, probably 2 or 3 of these if it prints. Awesome design, love it!

Quote from Billy Madison:
"I'll tell you who it was, it was that d@#$ Sasquatch"

I know this has the "d" word in it, but hopefully because I didn't outright use it, they won't reject it.

I liked it better when Harold Edgerton or Alan Sailer shot bullets through stuff in full color.

*sigh* if you look at the top left hand corner you will see that the same artist did both entries.

this is nice and way more wearable than 90% of all shirts ever posted. these are T-SHIRTS people!!! not art for your wall or gallery. might I suggest you look at the reckoning page and see what really gets printed... not artsy-fartsy stuff. THESE ARE T-SHIRTS!

I like your idea, very creative!

Re: A Beautiful Friendship

The concept is good and so many people have told me they liked it, I'm definitely going to be tuning it up - maybe reworking the parody style a little - and finding a home for it.

Thanks everyone!

Or maybe just have the stockings in gold and maroon (Gryffindor colors)...

Ok, that is a brilliant thought! That would be a great shirt.

Re: It rubs the lotion on the skin, or else!

I just wish this was submitted alot sooner. I actualy know a whole bunch of people who would be willing to buy this in mass quanaties. We watch silence of the lambs every saturday.

I thought the faces were not needed too, but then I noticed their emotions... too funny! Great job, jewel!

Yup. You are. What do you do for a living? I'm willing to bet creativity ranks very low in your line of work.

This looks very comprehensive, and while I'm not one to want to get this I can still appreciate the effort put into this and not be a complete jerk about it.

isparabola wrote:Elephants hate mice though as proven by mythbusters so this shirt is inaccurate. If the elephant was a rhino, or if the mice was like... a kitten i'd buy this shirt. But I cant buy a shirt where i know the premise behind it is completely inaccurate.

Still well drawn though, good job.

I think that's the irony and comedy in it though. He's so tough that he uses mice as a weapon.

Re: The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of

As cool as it would be, I don't think Woot would print both designs on one shirt. Give Woot artists an inch and they will take a mile.
