Great shirt! I really like it, but could there be some copyright concerns here?

i used only the biblical quote for the text (so i dont see any issues with the script)

i drew the picture by hand before the text overlay so hopefully that will get by the likeness side

Woot has a thing against celebrity images, though. You may not survive the rejectionator. Just a word of caution.

Impressive!

my brother would love this. GMV

Re: Ezekiel 25 : 17

Wow, amazing job. This is easily the best one so far. Woot please keep this.

Re: Ezekiel 25 : 17

I gave you a vote for my boyfriend. He'd have to have this. I hope it survives.

This better win. I need this shirt. Maybe Quentin can take one of Edgar Allen's spots, eh?

Good luck!

Re: Ezekiel 25 : 17

I don't see how this is much different from Lincoln. Yet this was rejected and lincoln not. One of these days i'll learn to quit trying to figure out the rejector

Might have to do with the date of the original photograph or artwork. The Lincoln referenced art might be public domain, but the Samuel Jackson photo is probably still protected by copyright. That would be my guess.

Well, Lincoln is dead and his image isn't part of a copyrighted movie. I thought there might be a problem. I would love to have this shirt, though!

but "no celebrity likeness" is a different rule than "no copyrighted material". Both have been used for rejector reasoning, even though a copyrighted celeb photo likeness would be the same as a copyrighted tree likeness. But like every week, the rejector has been nothing if not fickle.

Fact is, "no celebrity likeness" implies that a drawing of a celeb is just as taboo as a trace of their face. Consistency, as always, would be lovely. I wonder if it's because Abe's dead and old, he's not "celebrity"?

I think it has to do with the dead part, and general age part. Noone associated with Lincoln is probably actively attempting to make money off of his image (only those that wish to profit from it having no direct association with him or his ancestors). That is not true for Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction, etc.

That said, I'd love for consistency in rules, and for all of the celeb likenesses to be rejected.

Maybe it pertains to celebrities in the 'here and now'. Guess we need further clarification from woot as to what defines a 'celebrity' when it comes to shirt designs. I figured it had to do with the reference photo.

yeah i figured on the reference photo too ..... but like others said... it was the wording that got me.

Re: Ezekiel 25 : 17

yep, right from Webster's... celebrity = a famous or celebrated person
& celebrated = widely known and often referred to

Like the Buddha... but seriously I think we all know who they're talking about when they say celebrities. Debating the semantics of this is an exercise in futility.

I'd be in on buying it too even if it wasnt from woot.
