Shirt.Woot

Re: Haunted Housework

My heart is already set on wearing this on Halloween (over a black turtleneck and black jeans; it's *cold* on Halloween here!) when I give out treats to the goblins at my door, so this just better print! I agree that glow-in-the-dark ghosts would be the icing on the cake, but I'll love it either way.

Re: Repetitive task

Okay, this is pretty awesome. I laughed out loud when I saw it.

Re: Chores UNITE!

I like the concept! I often feel like all my chores are ganging up on me. I wish the guy was getting ready to do battle with the chores thought.

Re: Line Dried SHIRT - RESUB

I see a sexual metaphor... anyone else? Really cool design

Re: Too Much Wax!!!

I hope this wins! I want this one! Great job!

I've had to live with people like this shirt represents and I swore never to use the kitchen once the absurdity of uncleanliness began.

I like having people over, and I also refuse to clean up someone else's mess. Eventually I gave up trying to help them, and had to suffer from social withdrawal in what was my own place.

Bottom line is that this sort of habit is VERY unhealthy for both the person involved and others that are required to involve themselves with said person.

Re: More Laundry On The Inside

I love it, but I think I might love it even more if the door was cracked open a little bit. I would wear it either way though.

Re: I'm just doing my job

I had no idea that "cat's on Roombas" was an internet meme, I'm just an old cat lady (in her late twenties) who saw this and thought it depicted the superiority of cats over dogs perfectly.

Hey hey now! Stop bringing in politics to a shirt.woot discussion. The whole cats vs. dogs thing could start a firestorm greater than any three Ramyb designs combined. ;)

Re: girl taking out guys stuff

Cute!

Re: More Laundry On The Inside

Thanks for the comments everyone!! I really liked doing this shirt. As for the v neck t-shirt it belongs to Doctor number 9 Christopher Eccleston.

Re: The Fabric Softeners

These little guys were just going to be side characters in a larger design, but I had so much fun working on them that they just took over. If they make you feel good the same way they did for me, please vote.

Re: Repetitive task

Feel like this all the time! Stupid; laundry, dishes, vacuum, sweep, mop, scrub, iron, poop!

Re: I'm just doing my job

Seriously, this is Woot's defining shirt!

Re: The Fabric Softeners

I like, though that is one GIANT cat. Not that I object to giant cats, in a general sort of way. Just saying the disparity in size between the critters kindof messes up the composition. The dog looks like it was pasted on top of the cat, etc. Nicely illustrated otherwise, though. I really like the idea.

I see what you're saying- a little more shading would have done the trick to have them sit together better. As for the size, that's my wife's dog and cat (Mikey and Cosmo, respectively), and the cat is bigger. Mikey's a tiny guy. Glad you like it.

Re: Laundry Day

love it

Re: Dojo Chores

I love the expression on the ninja holding the basket. Its perfect. GMV and in for one! Please print! :D

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=56641]Woot shirt goes

This one is sweet...too many young'uns not into Watterson these days...too bad this cant be re-added; I would get one for sure!

Re: Chores Goddess

I agree with Ridicumeticulous; I want her to have legs. That said I love this. I love the 50s-60s feel of it. Very fun. And major props for the red hair! GMV

Re: Daily Chores

I almost don't want to see this shirt print, not because I don't like it, but because I like his one of his other designs better and I'd feel guilty voting for three shirts by the same person. I have to say, Ramy can be really hit or miss for me, but this week he had some definite hits!

That being said, GMV and go Ramy go! You could get all three this week (although that's super super unlikely)

You got him out of basic blacks? I now suspect you of mind-control technology and will be watching the skies with interest to see if your invasion force is following.

I think without the boarder it would look more like the argyle that I think you were going for. But then you'd definitely need someone pushing a mower to get the chore message across.

Clever idea though. People like that argyle stuff.

Re: Chores Goddess

I'm chiming in to register support for the legless design. It's hard to do legs in this style that wouldn't be distractingly exploitative and suggest a need for celery, as noted earlier in the thread. (Link contains moderately risque images.)

It's a woman with an absurd number of arms, in vintage half-tones, and there is no background. Not drawing the legs just underscores that it's a stylized image. The bar for realism is not high here.

Re: Laundry Day in Paradise

Great concept!

The Ninth Doctor definitely wore different colored jumpers. Burgundy, navy, purple, black, and green. Burgundy one was in the episodes Rose, End of the World, and Boomtown. Not that I'm obsessed or anything.

I like this one better!

Thanks, for the legless support
The main reason was that it'd throw off the design, and the perspective as it is would've hidden most of the legs anyway.

Sorta bummed that this one didn't do better, but it'll find a home in my design book somewhere, I guess. Thanks for the votes so far.

Next time the girl will have six legs! mwa-a-a-a!

Love it!!!!
You go kitty...now to buy a roomba

Re: I'm just doing my job

Re: Too Much Wax!!!

Overall, I love it. Excellent color choices, layout, style, etc. The one thing that's bothering me? The bellybutton. I know, I know, it's not exactly a realistic scene, but for some reason it's driving me crazy...it's probably just me.

Re: Guano Duty

I love the idea, and it looks great! It looks more like bird than bat guano... Bat guano is more often observed in pellet form..... But, sure, I'll go for artistic liberties with science for a good cause!

This reminds me of when me and my buddy first learned how to throw shurikens =P
GMV and I'll be picking up a copy or two if it gets printed!

My first draft didn't have the border. However, the thickness of the mow lines cutting off at the printable area border seemed a bit too abrupt. Then I thought about how how I mow by trimming the edges first followed by the interior. So I ended up with this design. I think if I could have used the entire length of the shirt I would have ommitted the border edge. Should have just done that anyway since I was falsely rejected for "Outside Printable Area" despite being totally inbounds.

Thanks! Unfortunately I only had a few hours available to work on a design this week. But I just got a new tablet, so it was good to break it in. :-)

Re: Interlude

Very nice design. When I clicked "I'd want one," I really meant it!

Re: The Naughty Sock Gnome

The idea of this shirt is great! But I have to agree with everyone else - I don't like the blue. Also, what happened to the lady's feet!?!

Technically turtles don't have teeth either, but it adds to the funny. :^)
