I actually did a version without the swirls. I got worried it was too plain. Maybe my instincts were right. Thanks for your thoughts. Maybe I'll do a ver 2.

Re: Audio Mythos

For what it's worth, I think this is amazing. You guys are such a great team, and it's such a treat to see what you bring to the table week after week.

Original? Too restricting here. Creative? Abso-friggin-lutely. Artists need not be tremendously original to be insanely creative. Look at Tarantino's entire filmography.

Edit: I promise I will desist now, ThunderThighs. If you wish to delete this post, I'll understand.

I would totally wear this shirt, and I may even buy it.
The format and subject matter are totally overused, but... I like penguins, and I like big headphones. I'm sorry.

Re: BOOM BIRD VER 2

Thought I'd so a more simple version. Hope people like this one as well.

Re: Forest Melody

Enjoy

Re: Forest Melody

Cute concept!

I'd like to comment on this comment as well.

Um yeah. They made Cthulhu's face out of a record and a tape cassette. If you've seen someone execute a concept this awesome prior, I'd love to see it. In the meantime, with all due respect, I believe you might be a little confused.

Please feel free to delete my comment if you deem it necessary.

Re: Killer Road Trip

Based on "vinyl killer van" record players. They're toy vans that have a record needle and a speaker built in and they drive right around the record. In this design the road is the record.

Re: Killer Road Trip

Oh Jeez man, those things were horrible. GMV for dredging up old memories that must be dashed with tequila.

Re: grandaddy was not a bankrobber

HaHA! *loves* This is so awesome. GMV, most definitely! I would murder people to get this shirt, I love it that much. If it doesn't win here, you really have to sub it somewhere else so I can purchase a few to wear everywhere and feel awesome in.

I'm a huge history geek and I already wear Edwardian clothes and a hat like that around to normal places like the grocery store, so this shirt would just complete me. :D

I love whatever you would call that fantastic style of drawing *is not learned in the creation of shirt designs*, it really gives that extra something to the design and I love the puttees, they really add to the vintage feel, though the history geek in me points out that puttees were almost exclusively part of a war-time uniform and would not normally be worn by this gentleman. Still, I love it!

I call upon all the divine blessings I may have to get this shirt printed. Good luck!

Re: Killer Road Trip

Haha. We weren't allowed to touch the LPs due to the eldests smashing habit (so he was 6 so what, memories die hard), yet we owned a device that encouraged the desire. D'oh

Re: Flatline

Simple and nice!

It couldn't have been worse than those flimsy records that they'd pack in magazines. I'm not sure I was ever able to successfully play those things.

Re: attic party!

I love this design so, so much. I think I might need this shirt.

Re: Funky Bot

Im giving this a +Uno cause it's been rejected 2 times before. Damn thats a sucky feeling.

Enjoy the votes brother

Re: Killer Road Trip

Your'e getting a +Uno cause of your cazy use of colors. This is awesome!!!!!

Re: Dancing to the melody

You and I are dueling it out for dancing silhouettes.
Although I gotta say yours are better than mine. :P
Good luck this round! :D

Re: Color of Music

very close but different as well.

Ooo, classy. ^_^
One question: is the shirt color supposed to be maroon or brown? The background/thumbnail look maroon, but the shirt looks brown. Or is it just my screen?

Re: Music Never Dies

This shirt is so beautiful and mesmerizing... I found myself staring at it for about half an hour before I remembered to scroll down and comment. There's just so much to it. The colors are great, shading is prime, concept is amazing, and it has fire... I like fire. It's like a blend of everything awesome. I really hope this makes production! Until then hopefully I can stop staring at... mmmm... fire

Re: I Prefer the Classics

I sense a paradox here

+1

Re: Killer Road Trip

Nice use of halftone. Great one!

Did wonder if he was listening to Monster Mash (yes, Im old...lol).

Gets a vote from me this week. Sorry that my vote means you wont get top 3 though :o(

Re: Tiny Dancer

Thought I would dedicate this week to the first "recorded" bit of music that I ever owned.

Re: Cooler than You

Ramsy is a pot of gold!!!!!!!!! I love his shirts and am sadden that I missed so many T_T. My cousin is addicted to penguins, I'm addicted to bunnies, boyfriend is addicted to cats, we all like ferrets, a girlfriend of mine is addicted to pandas so you can bet on what I bought this week.

Re: Killer Road Trip

wow! it's nicely dynamic!you're the king for halftones.Is it a photoshop file?

icymallard wrote:This logic only works a couple of times before you get fed up that other artists just dont catch a break.

You have a cool daughter.

Diana, you have a cool mother.

I am also cool as well.

As to artist catching a break I'm sure the woot team saves some of the entrys for later. if not I would like them to. I've seen some really horrible shirts on this site that did not sell well. have you noticed the tally on the first time buyers? I understand vintage wooters may be sick of certain themes but for those of us that are new to the site, if we like it we like it. no need to be a art snob about tshirts. If you truely surrport an artist that dose not win in a derby send them an email asking them to place it on redbubble or cafe express or if they can take it to a shirt printer for you. Also some might send you the file so you can go print it your self. In the end this is a store woot makes $, the fact they have derbys is unique and surrports peoples art. even if you dont win, you still feel good about the votes and comments you got.

There are many designs that are beautiful pieces of art work, I print them out and stick them on my wall. I don't always want to walk around in a artsie tshirt that blends in. When I buy tshirts I think of the reactions I will get or the reactions of the people I give them to. Cute and funny wins for the smile it puts on peoples faces. It's better then a ? and having to explain it's message or referance.

Thanks. Yes, it is a photoshop file. My working file has an ungodly number of layers.

Thanks My goal with both of my designs this week was to make bold color choices. I'm really happy with how this one came out.

Re: 60s music addiction

It's OK. No one will think any less of you. You know you wanna do it. You know you'd buy one. It's OK. Just give in to the urge...
