Shirt.Woot

Re: Psycho

Although I love the way you did the design itself, there's no way I'd ever wear this shirt or buy it for someone. It would be nice to see a different message & word on the heart graphic. This is just way too creepy/stalker/violent in tone.

gave me the idea to have a fishing lakitu pulling a frozen kart driver out of the water who was texting as he veered off the road

Re: Tangent Talker

Ha - love all the comments! Thanks everyone

So I was thinking about a big carrot in the garden, and then I thought what about a big tomato, and it got me wondering if the farmer man planted them, I saw him planting some flower seeds, but before I could look to see if there were tomato seeds too a cat appeared around the corner, but thank goodness a mouse distracted the cat from me... poor thing I hope it got away. I don't know why, I always imagined mice going to space, wouldn't it be cute to think about a little mouse going in a rocketship? They're certainly not appreciated here, everyone hunts them and humans don't want them around. Maybe they will keep going, to another planet... colonize one and live there. But then I'd like to visit, so perhaps they could invite rabbits to tea. Well, actually I'd rather ice cream... I would get strawberry flavored...or wait, maybe I'd go with carrot, a small one.

that was supposed to go under a different shirt, oops. Love this one -GMV

I've understood it to be short for "psychotic" since I was ten years old.

While psychotic may no longer be a clinical diagnosis word, it certainly was for a long time, as many prescription medications are anti-psychotic.

So yes, this word references specific mental illness, and is near the top of many mental health activists' lists of inappropriate slurs.

Re: Drama Lord

This made me chuckle Very funny and well done!

Or more directly, "psychopath" of course. You know, like that very unbalanced guy in that movie, Psycho, which prominently featured a psychiatrist character talking about his clinical mental illness?

I hope this prints;I love it.
So if the two guys weren't on it, would it count as "text only"?

Indeed!!!

Thanks for the input and the support. I agree that adding in some more details would make it look a little more complete, but my fear is that my not-as-stellar-as-many other-folks-around-here artistic skills would make the design end up looking a little cluttered it I tried to add in more details.

hahaahhaa love its expressions!

Re: Tough to Please

Love anything Monty Python and the Holy Grail-related!

I agree that it needs some more furniture or background objects. Maybe change the blackboard into a rolling blackboard and have the location set in the woods? Also the artwork could use some more tweaking.

The wood grain looks great, but it won't scroll so I still can't see the fine print!

Thank you very much!

Re: Best Abusive Friends FOREVER

this is the cutest thing ever! XD

Re: (Vanity) Looking Sharp

I was a bit late in putting this design into the Derby, hopefully there is enough time left to get a decent amount of votes ;-)

neuropsychosocial wrote:My guess is that the rejectionator is saying that woot won't print a shirt of someone picking their nose, regardless of the character. Typically, if the problem is IP, they'll say "we can't run this." If they deem the shirt to be in bad taste - based on what they're willing to have circulate in the world attached to woot's name - then the shirt gets the "No" stamp.

Thanks for the feedback, but I don't think that's it, otherwise a cartoon character throwing up would have been rejected as well. I guess Calvin is off limits, which is fine. I know they don't have time to explain every little reason why something is rejected.

I'm hope the shedding on the couch is his only problem. Can you imagine if he wasn't housebroken?

Re: Liar Liar

I think it's that your image is what appears to be a photshopped copy of this:

"**The sole purpose of this voyage is revenge. Any fun and sun is purely incidental."

I'd love it if the fine print gets printed clearly! :D Good luck!

"Stocks" seems a bit off.

Are you American?

Over here we don't really use the word "supplies" as often as "stocks"

So cute, love the way you drew this

Re: Forever Young at Heart

aka "me at 80"...lol...this is for all those old folks out there that still know how to have fun...not acting your age can sometimes be a personality defect, but quite often it's precisely what keeps us feeling young...

Oh my god this is perfect

Would be better if the subject was English, particularly grammar and punctuation. Consider the black knight's lovely phrasing and how he spoke with extreme emphasis on each syllable.

Re: Stop Wine-ing !

Pretty funny. I know someone who would definitely wear this. But he has a pretty "corky" sense of humor

Re: Good Gossip

Thanks for not drawing them as little Chewbaccas! I like it!

I wasn't happy with my first attempt at this idea, so I re-did it. This is what might have happened moments after Luke's famous whiny scene.

Re: All sunshine and rainbows

So which one is the personality defect, the annoyingly happy or the unrelentingly grumpy?

Not ba-a-aad! ;)

Sorry about that - no intention to offend. I'm a big Wayne's World fan, and I had (at least one) "psycho ex-girlfriend" (though not like the movie). My humor has always been just a little off-kilter, but I understand why some would not find this funny...

Re: Tough to Please

please make it Multi-variable, or P-chem, or english, one of those classes where this is actually a fact of taking the class

justinsarahjo wrote:Anyone else get the Kenneth reference?

I guess the answer is no.

Re: Tough to Please

Aaaah! So many good suggestions! I wish I had thought about putting some of these things in before.

Unfortunately I cannot change anything from how the design exists currently. I will have to take it down and put it back up up for voting to make such changes.

But I really do appreciate all of the suggestions and critiques that would have made this design even better. I'm always looking to improve, so it means a lot to me to get feedback

Re: Sang-Froid

Only one I want.
