Shirt.Woot

Re: Skyline

A few comments. First, the theme of the derby says to make up ONE word out of objects. This doesn't seem to meet that criteria.

Second, all submissions must include the shirt composition, to let voters know where on the shirt you want this to print. Without that, it will be rejected.

Re: The Rats of NIMH

Why can't you run this?

NIMH stands for "National Institute of Mental Health", so it's not trademarked or copyrighted.

Re: Curiosity

Finally a cat shirt I would consider wearing! (that's closer than I've ever been before)

Re: Fungi

Gorgeous! And perfect color choice.

Re: retro at heart

A very elegant design. Bravo.

Also, only one color allowed.

Re: Magic

Simple and adorable! Great design.

Re: After All This Time

IDK about you but the first thing I thought of was ALWAYS tampons cause they always have tv commercials. I get the HP reference but I have a feeling people are going to think I'm wearing a shirt for tampons.

Re: Viral

Wonderfully creepy!

Re: Starving Artist V2

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

How to Determine If a Charity Like Kony 2012 Is Worth Your Money

Wouldn't it be better to donate that money to one of the charities Invisible Children gives grants to. I mean if I was giving $500 to a charity, I'd want every dollar to count. I understand there is overhead to every charity, but only about 20% of the money get goes to actual charities. That $500 quickly becomes less than $100 after those charities' overhead.

Re: The Rats of NIMH

Very cool design - my Erlenmeyer Flasks are jealous!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=61311]

Can someone post a link to a similar shirt? I've done several searches and can't find one.

Re: Qwerty

Rejection coming?

Re: Alien Invaders

8-bit Copyright?

Re: Equation

I like it... but I'd like it more without the chalk tray and piece of chalk.

Re: Curiosity

I feel guilty for liking this, being a cat lover! lol! Definitely well thought out though!

This the the closest I could find.

That's some tough love!

Great work!!!:D

Re: Inconceivable (V2)

Re-subbed this design with a few changes.
Vizzini (Shawn Wallace) and Fezzik (Andre the Giant) with more cartoon like features or caricatures and less realistic. Also made the six-fingered hand right handed. Re-votes are greatly appreciated.

Re: Inconceivable (V2)

I enjoy the Princess Bride references you incorporated. I wish it was a little easier to read without being told the pictures form "inconceivable".

Re: Make Him Famous

The giraffes kind of look like they're having sex.

Re: After All This Time

Elegant. Beautiful. A little bittersweet. This was so well done. I applaud you and hope very much that it prints. This would also make a lovely card for a special someone.

Thank you mate!

Re: Read

Well done! Another lit major, former English teacher/librarian/bookseller, and writer truly appreciates the work you put into this. Thanks for liking to the larger pictures so we can see all the details.

Re: Monster

I immediately recognized your style! You excel at making monsters fierce but cute. Another great design! I wish you could have used multiple colors. That would really make this design pop!

Thanks. No clue why they "can't run this". Is there any way to get an actual explanation from the moderator to appeal?

Coffee cats printed 10/2010, so who knows if it predated the shirts you mentioned.
I did a quick google and came up with this, so it's a lost cause, I'm afraid.

Yeah - I just found that one, too, but it's not all that similar. This is my second rejection tonight with no good explanation... I'm somewhat pissed that we don't get enough explanation when a design is rejected to know what was actually wrong with the design or if it can be fixed.

I don't know that the word "thief" is warranted here, but the idea has clearly been done before. Even though Woot! did specify "Similar shirts exist" (it's nice when they provide a link) and I agree that Coffee Stain Cats doesn't seem similar enough to be a problem, the artwork linked from the other submission is sufficient grounds for rejection.

I agree. The rejectionator seems to have a hair-trigger tonight w/o visible grounds for rejections.

Re: After All This Time

Holy... oh... oh gosh...

GMV...

I can't think of what else to say. Ummm... thank you.

PLEASE PRINT

Re: Read

Loving the details, my favorite is the Cheshire Cat (: And I'm glad to see not everyone is as lazy as me and actually took advantage of the extra time haha.

What can I say, I love fish sticks (;

Re: X-Gene

Yes. My very dear dear friend is such a mutant and requires this shirt. Therefore, let it be printed. Also, my husband is a mutant, and it isn't because his last name is Logan and he wishes he were Wolverine...

Re: Ninja

Aw man, you've done it again. How you execute simple ideas in such an appealing way is awesome. +1

Thanks a lot, I got the same problem too. You can always get people back by just shaking your head in their general direction. lol

I wish I could have put more than one word on this shirt, though. Even thought about putting a question mark next to the word, but I was afraid it'd be rejected for being more than "one" word. Ah well...

Re: one

Wow, this is a shirt I'd actually wear. I wish it was getting more votes. Awesome work on all of the little details Jasneko (: The thumbnail doesn't look like your usual work, I was pleasantly surprised to see the artist.

Re: After All This Time

PLEASE PRINT THIS! Oh My Gookie! !
