I want this.

Re: janie's got a gun

some smexy babes! wonderful!

Re: Saturn Spacegirl And The Sinister Plot Of Sector 6

Yay! GMV!

I can't vouch for anyone else, but I'll vote for multiple entries with similar ideas if I like 'em all and if I think they fit the theme. I probably wouldn't buy more than one of this week's Future Chicks if they all printed, but that's not real likely to happen, and I'd buy any one of them, so I think it's fair.

I will say that would let me make him a lot bigger. Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

Thank you very much, happy you like it! And I did use a little bit of halftones for the lighting on the guy, but the rest is brush strokes, which I like better as well. Here is a larger img.

Re: Flight of the Unicorns

BIG VERSION HERE.

Honestly, I'd sure love to see this printed...

Take a Frolic with Jackson Pollock.

Well, you said it was rejection-oriented...

Re: Bee Beard

I want it.

Re: New York State of Mind

this is badass.

midgerock wrote:When the theme was introduced like a majority of people I had no idea what mid modern art was.

The movement is not widely know in the illustration world. I have taken many art history classes and never learn about this movement till I took an art history class that specialized in architecture. This movement, to my knowledge, was dominated by architecture, interior design and furniture design (do a google image search of mid-century modern or mid-century modern movement and see how many images you have to skim through before you find a painting or graphic design piece). Woot is being out of place with this derby in my opinion. It would have made more sense to have the derby be about art for around 1940-1960.

And its funny that they allow Kevin Dart's art since he probably wasn't even alive during that time. I believe he is currently still a young artist, just beginning to make his footprint in the art world. That would slop him into the remodernism movement.

Sorry, Midg... that two chumpmagic rants in a row

Anyhoo, great work!

Aw nice -thanks emmetcopeland.

Thank you - I went through a lot of switching up the colors and trying different textures, so that is great to hear.

Thank you walmazan!:D

Re: Life Cycle of a Star (resub)

Robbie, your planets or starts always rock. This may not be your best layout, but the character in each moment looks awesome.

Re: Legacy

For your first attempt of the style, you did well.

Re: Atomic Flower Power

"What's this new-fangled flower-thing here?"

"Why, it's the solution to all our problems...atomic flower power!"

"You mean nuclear power?"

"Nuc-u-lar, Lisa, it's pronounced nuc-u-lar..."

Re: Blue Pinelands

+1
Woot needs more white shirts.

I absolutely love this shirt! I hope it prints. GMV

Re: Rain Shower

The color usage is nice here, but the way the arms are done is unappealing to me. The jutting stiffness of the left arm detracts from the interesting and delicate lines of the lower limbs of the tree. The right arm coinciding directly with the branch behind it creates an odd visual confusion. The figure's head also appears too small for her body.

Parts of this image are well done, but the parts that are not severely impact the design for me.

Re: Flight of the Unicorns

I really like this. Though I think it would be better just a little smaller on the shirt. Then again, I don't really like designs to take up the entire print area, so that might just be me.

Re: Leaky Government

The flag is backwards.

folklaur wrote:The flag is backwards.

No, the flag is vertical.

Re: Stealing Your Heart

Stylish, funny, nice colors. Very well done!

Re: Paper Lanterns

Inspired mainly by Mary Blair and a touch of Saul Bass.

I miss some taco reference but still +1

Thanks Wences. I'm too excited thinking about Christmas tamales to do a taco design this week.

Is it just me, or is this guy on a space mission to find how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

And also backwards.

Re: Yellow and Green Duck No. 5

victory

6 colors on white. Inspired by Paul Rand and the RGB color model.

Re: Deer

Well. Here I'm taking a que from most everyone here. eyvind earle is my inspiration and this is a little pocket of nature that he had done a similar painting of. I find I like the simple designs and this is a one color piece that I think fits right into the theme.

Re: Freed

shirt is awesome

Re: Saturn Spacegirl And The Sinister Plot Of Sector 6

glad you finished this, i was excited when i saw it in pre derby thread. you did an awesome job, GMV!

Nice one!

nope, i don't think so, The Michael's one is Billie Jean :-)))

Re: Leaky Government

Yup. It's backwards.

Item i: "When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street."

Re: Atomic Flower Power

Wow! This is amazing and so wereable!

Re: Rain Shower

I think this piece it's beautiful done! You always impress me

Re: Natural Balance

I'm a first time submitter but I had the idea and I really wanted to try creating a shirt design for it. I'm just tickled that I made it through the submission process and I don't see the giant REJECTED message across mine!

In case someone's interested, I know it's a little hard to see the leaf design on the horses so here's a link to a bit better detail:

I told myself I'd be happy if I got two votes and hey I got votes!
