Shirt.Woot

I assume musical notes and symbols = text?

so sad

No fair! You got the idea from a couple of recent derby entries.
Really interesting - and tough - idea, though. And couldn't you have added pandas to the no-no list?

how about 8-track?

Looking forward to some stunningly beautiful victrolas.

I'll probably take a crack at one too.

Yes! Turtles made the banned list!

Honestly, I think they do that a lot.

Hmmm I'm sensing swirly patterns of tape pulled out of cassettes.

Here's an idea: What about a walkman with some large headphones next to it with greenish swirly music coming out of them?

In all seriousness though, this could be a good derby. I like the no text or pop culture rules.

Nice one!

If I had to guess, there will be at least one person who does a records as skeet-shoot discs.

Anyone out there planning on a "recycle" type theme where tapes, discs, records, and so on are used as something else? Like pants made out of cassete tapes, a jacket from CDs, and a hat out a record? (or some such things, the possibilities of "other uses" seems limitless)

a tilteed shirt:

Oh, and before Odysseyroc starts going on about tacos, let me just say this:

I just finished a nice big lunch, and that still made my stomach rumble.

Im don't typically like drawing inorganic things, but geeesh, I wants to derrrbyyy! Maybe my feeble mind can figure something out...

Why must every derby have such delicious looking food items. I'm so hungry now!

I'm pretty sure that isn't a taco.

I'm quoting just so it appears in more than one place.

I agree with paigeg, but I'd give you a free pass.

okay... got my idea!
Title: The Kids Don't Visit Anymore.

Scene: Old Folks Home with varied out dated data storage hanging out. One looking out the window... Some others playing checkers... one fighting an orderly... one in the corner...

how about it?
meh or yeah?

Wicked love this theme!

... No USB sticks. Yes, they hold music; but they got no SOUL, man ..... lol!!

all the best to all!!

cheers! (o;

what about a real to real tape player? that would be cool

No incidental text? Harsh.

Got an idea...let's see if I can put on my 'artsy' hat this week without spilling beer all over my shirt and making a fool of myself. ^^;

Sounds like a good concept - I think the execution is going to be critical. Too much stuff and the design is going to feel cluttered and lose focus.

I'm going with a simple idea that I can hopefully pour some love into.

An unspooled tape mummy.




Looking forward to some sweet designs from this one. :^)

Oh em gee. Looks like pure deliciousness.

Bio tests are conspiring against me to prevent me from drawing though =(

Current thought though, a phonograph that blows musical note bubbles.

Yay Mobius Loop based media!

Nice! Suggestion: The sarcophagus he's coming out of could be a tape case with a sarcophagus as the cover art

I seriously came on here to post the same idea

Nope, it's better. A slice of heaven we here in my state call Beau Jo's Pizza pies. They sell their awesomeness in poundage, not diameter.

are boomboxes allowed? they are older than walkmans and more awesome.

Here is my first idea. I think I am going to run with it.

Party Mix!

yeah, I hear ya. May need to bring it down a bit so its not too cluttered. I appreciate the feedback.

ah man. hope no bad blood.

The Mighty Boosh - Ep 10 - The Priest and The Beast

bahahaha!

(it's on youtube, if anyone is interested)

Not sure if that means various 'tape man' monsters will be considered pop culture or not...
