Here's my entry. I'm not usually a fan of art deco, but I enjoyed making this. Hope you like it!

Here's a detail view

Re: Sunshine

Wow! I like this one a LOT! I've never commented on the derby shirts before, but this one made me instantly happy. I like the 'open' design. It's refreshing!

Um... off topic here, but... can somebody help me with my sig? I want a nice scrolly box like y'all have with this awesome t-shirt thumbnail in it... but I can't seem to manage it... Can anyone tell me what's wrong with what I've got there?

Thanky!

Thanky!

If you paste the code below into your sig and replace any curly brackets ({) with square brackets ([) it should work. Hope that helps!

Thank you SO much!! :-)

Re: Sunshine

This is gorgeous GMV! lol i submitted an earthy sunshiny one too

Soft and pretty, and nice job on the color scheme, which definitely sets a pleasant mood.

This is really pretty and current. Good job! This is very wearable!

Re: Sunshine

Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm pretty happy with how wearable this design turned out so all your votes are much appreciated!

Re: Sunshine

Very, very well done. This design shows a great aesthetic sense. Boffo!

I really love this, but I wish it were on a shirt other than baby blue... in my opinion, that color is overused. Regarding the design itself, beautiful.

Re: Sunshine

I wish I could vote multiple times. This shirt is gorgeous. Normally I think arty shirts are pointless (I'd rather a good pun), but this one is just so beautiful, I have to retract.

I hope this wins. In any case, thanks for making such a pretty design.

Re: Sunshine

i'm just posting to agree with everyone else. This design is spectacular.

I really wish it was in the fog.

great job!

Thanks rglee! It's an honor. I've always been a big fan of your work. I'm rooting for your shirts at Uneetee and DBH.

Sorry you don't like the shirt color. It really just didn't work on any other color.
But I'm glad you like the design!

Thank you so much for your support (and retraction!) I'm astonished at how well this one is doing. I'm just glad people enjoy it.

Thank you all so much. I really appreciate all the votes and ...votes of confidence!

Nicely done. I like

I'm sure it will be soon (and deservingly)

:D

Re: Sunshine

Looks like you will be in the fog by sun rise!
Good Job. It seems like you and I have been battling for the top hotness for an eternity..l o l.

Re: Sunshine

Like it.

Re: Sunshine

I swear, if this gets into the fog and wins any place, 1st 2nd or 3rd, it'll be the first shirt I've ever bought from this site. I love it!

For some reason, this reminds me of Zelda (wind waker). I have no clue why, but it makes me happy. GMV

Re: Sunshine

Color me excited...this finally made the fog. If it wins, it'll be my first woot shirt. Sure hope that happens. Tell all your friends...vote "Sunshine"!!!

Re: Sunshine

Spring! Very nice, GMV!

Re: Sunshine

This has been a real nail biting derby so far. Thanks to everyone who has voted, really. I seem to linger often near the top but always out of reach of a print, so to be so close is crazy (although I'm not getting my hopes up). Please keep the votes coming if you want to see this win, I think third place is going to come down to just a matter of a few votes so every one counts. Thanks again everyone, you're awesome!

Saying that, is like saying you only buy artwork that matches the color of your couch. The design should always dictate the color, not the other way around. "Over-used" or not, in this case, baby-blue is the only real choice.

Re: Sunshine

Wow, this one really fought its way into the fog. Great job on the design and good luck.

Yeah, you are so close now. Close to 3rd I mean. I wish you well. I think it may be times up for me.

It has been a very close race this week. I'm not holding my breath though. The chances of beating Tgentry while keeping Infinity's bunny at bay will be next to impossible (especially for someone who's never printed before). A guy can dream though.

At the rate things are going, I think you're going to make it Good luck, I'm rooting for you

Well you definitely have my vote. This is such a great design.

Thanks for your support Ramy, that means a lot. I can't express how excited I'd be to see this actually pull ahead. And thanks to everyone who has said such nice things about this design and who voted this up.

Re: Sunshine

Awesome design! (And you will not catch me saying that too often about something with this color scheme...)

Easily one of the most deco designs in the whole derby and yet it stills puts the non-deco to shame! Very good!

It's always so hard to tell in contests like this when nothing in the top 3 has fallen out of the fog in almost 4 days, but either way, I think it's safe to bet that you'll be getting a print soon, whether this week or in a coming week with the work you've been submitting :D

Hmm, I just can't "see" it. :/
I'm missing what everyone else seems to like about it.

for me, it's simple, lovely, and captures art deco without being a copy or cheap imitation. i appreciate the way it takes organic elements (usually more nouveau) and cleanly translates them into the geometrics of deco.

but then, i like arty shirts... not every shirt i wear has to be witty or have a pun, or some inside internet joke.
