Shirt.Woot

Nice sweep, I look at it and think bonsai, then I see the birds.

It's a tree shirt t-shirt!

Nice work Jas.

All those different species of birds in one tree. Knew it couldn't last.

Actually, this shirt says: "Let's make like a tree and... birds away?"

I'm glad this one came up. I was the first sucker, makes me feel special.

Nice, I like how the leaves look like they're made by sponge marks.

Hey jasneko, is there a reason why the tree is bent almost 90 degrees? A figure no artist does something without a reason so I wanted to know yours.

Nice shout out to Jan Baptist van Helmont for his tree experiment.

Great design. The birds are subtle, but perfect. You can spend all day playing "bird or leaf?".

To Air is human. It's a soylent tee!

"Jasneko is a tasty candy wafer who also plays the sax."

Jazz + Necco wafers (a favorite from my childhood).

Does the twisted trunk have anything to do with why the birds are leaving?

Awesome. Bought one... and not a moment too soon, I've been itching for a new Woot shirt.

If man were meant to fly, he'd have this tee-shirt!

It looks like Earthworm Jim getting his brains blown out. Bought!

At the risk of sounding very Jatravartid, I feel there are some questions I should ask to understand this whole thing.

I only recently began checking out woot and shirt.woot after my brother in law gave me a shirt from a Big o' Cosmos he got (too big for him). I liked the shirt, so I decided to check what this was all about.

1. What is the derby? My understanding is that woot comes up with a concept (currently new slogans for everyday items), and artists submit designs. Then we the wooters vote on which ones we like the best, and those get made into shirts at some point?

2. What is the reckoning? My understanding is that it's basically retired shirts that are old, or have sold out.

3. What shirts can you expect to get when you buy random shirts? New designs? Reckoned shirts?

Thanks for the help, just trying to understand this whole process.

This is not one of the shirts I was expecting to see. It's not an unpleasant surprise, but it is a surprise. Congrats on the print.

My favorite part is the ninja star at the very top.

Correct

Incorrect. See here for details.

3. What shirts can you expect to get when you buy random shirts? New designs? Reckoned shirts?

Usually it's shirts that have been recently Reckoned, but I guess it could theoretically be anything

Thanks for the help, just trying to understand this whole process.

You're welcome. Hope it helps!

EDIT: Removed cause I was beaten by the dude above. Curses!

Awesome!

I couldn't find that FAQ link anywhere like I could over on woot

Helps a lot, thank you.

The Derby is where artists submit designs to satisfy a certain topic, the designs are voted on, and then they print whatever they want, usually something with cute little creatures on them.
The Reckoning is where they try to unload designs you might have missed out on but charge $5 more.
Random shirts are designs that didn't sell and are little better than brightly colored grease rags with cute little creatures on them, but with the element of surprise.

You did see he name, no? Don't mess with him.

Oh... I didn't mean curses. Daisies! And pansies!

Don't kill me... Please don't kill me... I have a family.

NO NO NO NO NO NO...
Come on woot, I'm boycotting you. Why are you actually putting up shirts I'd buy now?!

That tree spent about half of its life headed one direction, but then a strong wind came.

I like the green. Woot!

I love you jasneko, but this is like a horribly done kdeuce design.

Reminds me of the web video for Arcade Fire's "We Used to Wait" (http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com)

hmmmm....i thought it's Jazz + KitKat (neko = cat in japanese?)

Huh, did you mean?

"Olive Those Birds With (WISH) It Would Stop Being So Cold So They Could Fly Home For Summer"

totally embraces her hippie side

You're on quite the streak lately, jasneko. All of these weekly submissions must have built up your designing muscles!

:^)

Ah, now it makes sense.

Blech! Necco wafers are like awful dried pepperonis. I think I saw a show once that stated that the Necco wafer was made from the same ingredients as Sweet Tarts or Smartees, and I call BS.

Does anyone else think that this will warrant extra attention from the homosexual community?

Maybe it sounds Jatravartid, but it made me think of the "straight" references, and I guess the birds flying away can fuel some other slang terms...

I think you're totally right..... it does sound dumb.

Will this design become a perfect example of pareidolia?

Congrats Jan! You rock!

I really like this, but when I look at it, I see jazz hands.
