Shirt.Woot

midgerock wrote:why does shirt.what say this design has been removed? I find that a bit counter productive if someone was wanting to vote for my or others designs via that site. I know their not affilliated with woot but it has been a source for many artists and voters here at woot. So anybody know what the deal may be?

well I guess that was corrected by them. I wonder how long that was like that?

Re: PLAITypus

Oh wow, I didn't even notice the duck and beaver until I read the thread. They blend into the design awesomely.

Do you have an actual POINT to make? Or are you just trying to be funny?

Re: Laugh, Kookaburra, Laugh

Love this! Who cares if it's vaguely similar to another shirt. It's a laughing kookaburra in a tree with gum. It's clever and fantastic.

The turtle carries the world in so many cultures. The arms/legs wrapping over and around, that almost seem to make a face, as well; the frog as a symbol on its own plus looks like the nose...
Like I said, I could be imagining it but, I think this goes farther to touch on the heart of aboriginal art than most other similar subs.

Thank you so very much. When the derby came up I imediately thought of the Aborigonal art
style, and I was really hoping that my design would be meaningful to people. I am still fairly new to woot and I really enjoy getting a chance to branch out with my art work.

not the few.

Re: Laugh, Kookaburra, Laugh

Thank you all for your kind comments! I had lots of fun with this derby and look forward to the next one.

paigeg wrote:Excellent. While this sub from a past derby paid tribute to the pigment-blowing style of prehistoric art, yours is dead-on this theme, and evokes the style beautifully. And I love the title/theme - We Are. Nice.

Thank you, I was trying to stay fairly true to original source for this. I am kind of wishing I had zoomed in a little more on the Aboriginal so that more detail would show. It actually has a rather nice, rough finish to it.

Re: Rainbow Serpent

If everyone who voted for this shirt would also vote for its brown sibling, maybe we could get this design to print!

Re: Rainbow Serpent (On Brown)

Thank you so much for submitting this design on a brown shirt template. I love the colors and the dot-design and the distressing.

Re: The outback

After I made the point that part of Australia is missing yesterday I showed this design to a few people I work with (as I'm not Australian, I just live here) to see what they thought.

They all loved the design but were laughing that it was wrong. ...and not one of them is even Tasmanian.

Re: Marsupial in my pocket

i wants it

Re: The Strength of Many

After coming back and looking at the design it's too big on the shirt, and the proportions might be off a bit.

Hmm...

Oh well fight on my shirt!

Re: K-Bears New Kicks

cute

Re: Stacked

You'll find that most Australian folk songs are about criminals and sheep-shearing.

Re: K.O.ala-ed

knockout w/ great energy

Re: Sugar glider

love the colors + the look

Re: this is an Australian crocodile

nice one, the junior crocs looks like they're having a great time

Re: We are NOT cuddly!

ha!

Re: Super-mom

cute

Re: to the sun

Beautiful; I love seeing what you do w/ the derby themes myself.

Re: Advanced Sheep Shearing

ok, the more I look at it, the more it amuses me so I'm in for a vote.

Hmm Sheep are a New Zealand thing and this would offend any kiwi seeing "sheep" under an aussie derby.Def no vote from me ( since im kiwi lol )

Re: Australian Red-eyed Tree Frog

yep

Re: Buried Treasure

Great use of halftones! Hopefully I get to buy it and really inspect it. Nice work.

I think you and smklung may be onto something here. Seems a little taunting... I guess you can call it a day. Plus, imagine how much this little guy would tickle.

Re: Australian Army Knife

Now THAT'S a knife!!

Love it

Re: Laugh, Kookaburra, Laugh

This shirt literally made me laugh. Thanks for the joy for a moment. GMV.

Re: Buried Treasure

+1 vote for printofyourshirt.woot.com as someone so aptly put it last week. or every week ever. I would love to hang this on my wall.

Re: Outback Puppet Show

this is hilarious! love it

Re: Advanced Sheep Shearing

Clever and unusual take on the theme. And joemail11's post confirms that sheep and shearing are a part of Aussie lore. Works for me! +1

Re: PLAITypus

Spotted the duck right off, but almost missed the beaver. Should have been obvious once I'd seen the duck - doh! Well played!

No one has a copyright on the concept of gum-chewing birds. At least this one resembles a kookaburra, and not a chickadee.
I like - soft and subtle.

I still don't think so. This carries the joke much farther, and is wholly different in style.

Re: to the sun

This needs to print, for shirt reasons, for aboriginal reasons, for environmental reasons... A well-reasoned shirt!
