Shirt.Woot

Could there be an underlying Disney hint reguarding the re-release of Lady and the Tramp?? "We are Siamese if you Please..."

or not :P

Congrats on your first print !
For those disappointed Kitty King didn't make it, I'm pretty sure it will have a second chance in the Double-Take derby (which should be in one week or two), or at another shirt website.

Whoa... that's my hometown. I didn't even see that the artist was from there, thanks for mentioning it.

P.S. Trevorstearns, I PMed you!

I am glad this shirt printed as it was one of the more clever and creative designs. The first 2 winners were too "cutesy." I passed on a purchase of those.

Anyone who has a cat knows that they will sometimes dip their paws in liquids and can leave some paw prints around the house before they lick their paw to clean it. So I loved the theme and creativity of "The Artist!"

And having grown up near DC, I also thought of the spring cherry blossom festival that another person mentioned buying the shirt for.

This is my first shirt.woot purchase. Hope I don't become addicted to this derby thing!

I thought this one did edge into the realm of the awesome over cutesy; it has graceful lines, an elegant rather than "cute" cat, and on first glance doesn't appear to be a joke at all, so ....sold!

Not a joke? Hmmm... am I the only one who immediately thought "hairballs"?

For example, I'm not going to get mad at someone for making yet another turtle/penguin shirt...that's their bread and butter. But I'll express my frustration with voters who vote for the same turtle week after week after week.

love a democracy...giving both artist and the people a voice. no frustration here, just glad to be a part of it, no matter what the outcome.

You wear yours and I'll wear mine & the Cherry Blossom Festival will think we're a movement!

The other 2 derby winners were a little too cutesy for me, but this one is GOLD! Love it! I bought one for my 11 yr old daughter, me, and now might buy another to send to my mom for Mom's Day. Thank you to Trevor for creating this design and to the voters for making sure it got printed!

I didn't get the first shirt. Don't know exactly what I didn't fall in love with, after all, it was a kitty, but yesterday's and today's, I got.

When I shut down yesterday I was thinking "I hope I wake up to a cat with cherry blossoms.."

Yay!

For the longest time (at least it seemed this way to me) all they had were dinosaurs (kids), robots (kids) and beautiful, wistful women (which belong on a wall, not on the front of my shirt).

But I don't consider my teeshirts "works of art", I wear them to make people smile.

I'll be between the Jefferson & FDR, swirling around among the falling blooms. Shall we sing...you can get anything you want...

Siam is now Thailand. So if you've a cat in Bangkok, it'll be waiting in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon.

You had me at Siamese

Speaking of paw prints on random things, the other day I was amused to discover that when I went to turn on the big screen to watch the telley, two very distinctive paw prints were plain to see. Kitties are adorably inquistive. I consider the prints a reminder of love so I kept them on there for a while. I'm just as tickled to find paw prints on my car as well. haha.

Was "The Artist" formerly known as "Prints?"

I am a 54 year old mother, and I love this shirt! I bought it! For ME!!

I voted for you, Mr. MT, because your design is the Venn intersect for many parts of my life!
+My first (and eternally favorite) cats were Siamese, so I was drawn to the breed.
+As a soon-to-be HS Biology teacher, I'm collecting bio-friendly Ts.
+As a professional-to-be, the grey & pink design will look nice with a suit jacket.
+As a college student, fellow students who are Wooters are stopping to say "hi".
+As for the mixed Asian concerns, those who know the difference are showing their multi-cultural savvy.

If this Siamese is anything like our own, that's not actually paint, but rather blood under those nails. Do not challenge the claws!

is this picture offered to be purchased as a print somewhere? i LOVE this picture and would love to buy a print of it to frame it!!

*clicks the stupidly large button*

...wait! did i want this one? darn you woot! you have trained me like pavlov trained his dogs. it's an automatic response now. "new shirt? *click*"

I absolutely love this shirt. When I saw it on the 1st day of the derby I so wanted it to be in the top 3 so I could buy one and was thrilled when it showed up this morning on my Facebook feed as being for sale.

This print is simple, elegant, clever, and beautiful. I say, CONGRATS to you,the artist, and I hope to see a great many more!

Is there going to be a print for sale?

I adnit it, I cannot resist a Siamese.

While I did hestate a little over the blend of two diffirent eastern cultural symbols, the love of the cat (a well executed siamese instead of the cutesy no partcular bred cat) more than won me over. A beautiful image I will love wearing.

it's like that target commercial with jason wu

Either I'm completely missing something, or I'm just not seeing what other people are seeing in this shirt.

I hate to be critical, but witty or not this seems way under rendered to me.

So I finally caved and bought one for my mom. I know she'll love it

This one totally made me think of the 2003 Korean film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring; there's a scene in which a Buddhist monk uses the tail of a live cat to paint. The t-shirt is much happier than the film.

I am sure a cat that good would know to use milk paint.
And as far as it being a cat of another country? What cat concerns itself with human borders, I ask you.

I must have been napping or something - when did the price of shirts here jump from $10 to $12?

I ordered two shirts though. My family are big siamese fans.

I love this T. Have you made a print of this? I would love to buy one.

This is seriously one of the best prints I have seen on this site. I freakin' love this, Trevor. I'm promoting it TODAY again, on a few places such as Twitter and Facebook and on to Pinterest and Google+. Tho, I couldn't find a twitter account... do you happen to have one or even a fan page based on your artwork on FB?
Lemme know.

Very Nice. :o)

As I'm possum related, would like to see something in the possum style. Good enough for the possum brethern down here on possum creek Virginia.
