Perfectionist
The old standby for "what's your biggest weakness?" Wear it to show your potential employer you know what "perfectionist" in the workplace really means. Or just wear it because you're like me and you sometimes can't see the forest for the trees and leave half your stuff unfinished.

Ahh this is awesome, and not just the idea but all the detail work. GMV!
Congratulations on completing it so quickly. -__^

Ironically I was going to make the lettering much more elaborate, but I just ran short on time. This shirt couldn't be more appropriate for me! Fortunately what it loses in detail I think it makes up for in readability it might have otherwise lacked.
Re: Perfectionist
12 shades of awesome... Want!
Re: Perfectionist
My favorite in this derby!
Re: Perfectionist
Love it.. and I can definitely relate. GMV.
Re: Perfectionist
This is great! It actually does speak to so many artists who either can never be satisfied with their work no matter how much others say they like it, or who can never seem to be able to finish something they start thanks to the time monster. I love how this shows the creative process. Great design sir, very well thought out. And nice celtic knot pattern too.
Re: Perfectionist
Oh, I love this so much. Genius concept and perfect (haha) execution. Now THIS shirt has the right kind of oooo shiny factor ;)

For some reason, I figured that what happened. I would like to see this if you had a week to work on it. Great as always Travis. GMV
So THIS is what a clever and totally wearable text-based design looks like!
Re: Perfectionist
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...! You did it! :D
In for 3.
Re: Perfectionist
OH....MY....GOD! This is beyond perfect! That little skeleton dude is ME! I am an illustrator and at this very moment attempting to kill myself to meet my deadline next week. GMV!!
Re: Perfectionist
This is awesome on about 10 levels...maybe more..I've lost count. I can personally relate to the positive and negative sides of being a 'noodler'. <--term for people who can't stop futzing with stuff until it's juuuust right And even then, after all my noodling, Ive exhausted my energy and 99% of the time still failed at what I was going for.
I always expect the best from TGentry!
Re: Perfectionist
Its a really cute design in relation to something as nice and dark as death by trying to hard...which is my greatest weakness :P
Re: Perfectionist
Clever. Though, I have to say, 'perfectionism' is actually a quality that employers in few fields are interested in and it can cause one to lose their job.

You may want a bit of perfectionism in your life. You incorrectly used the plural possessive pronoun "their." You also misused single quotation marks. And you have written a run-on sentence. Three strikes and you're hired! Wait a second...
Re: Perfectionist
Clever and really well done. Great job! gmv

Yeah I actually agree with you (check my post at the top of this thread). I think just a shirt with "Perfectionist" on it would not be a good shirt to wear to an interview. However wearing this shirt (with the guy who didn't finish his work) shows the employer you understand that perfectionism in the workplace isn't always a welcome thing.
Re: Perfectionist
Fantastic design, I'd really love to see this print!
Re: Perfectionist
There are many days when I feel like this poor guy. Great design, Travis. I wish I could be just 1/3 as clever as you are when you come up with these concepts.
Re: Perfectionist
Awesome concept and design! Quality work as always!
Re: Perfectionist
Hey look, it's ME! I work hard on visual art but if I have a deadline, I can let it go in it's unperfected state. Oh, but it's the music that I'm unyielding with to the point that I start to piss myself off for not being done.
"What's that? CrescentDebris composes music? Well I haven't heard any." Exactly. Check back around 2086. I should have something ready for you.
+1
I never say this but, I must have this shirt.
Re: Perfectionist
Now THIS I would buy! I haven't bought a shirt in a while, I would buy this in a heart beat.
Re: Perfectionist
God I hope this wins, this shirt is the best!!
Hahahaha! Love it! This is me. And I've actually used that as a weakness in job interviews, but (try to) put the strength spin on it. I really suck at interviews. 
and this is one of those "I hate my job" days.
Good luck!

Heh. That is what everyone says during their interview. If you want to stand out, you need to come up with something else. Forget the saying a flaw that is really a strength meme. Just say something that is work related but has nothing to do with your job.
Re: Perfectionist
Sorry, I think this one takes too long to understand. It's clever and all, but you have to really think about it -- and people don't like to do that with shirts. Glance, get it, laugh, that's all.

Maybe it's the perfectionists that get it without thinking...

Wow, I thought it was instantly understandable. I guess I overestimated it.
Re: Perfectionist
this makes a good far away shirt.
as in from far away it looks good.
this is an underrated aspect of shirts

I thought it was instantly understandable, and awesome. Brilliant design.
The color on this screen isn't that great, is it on navy or asphalt?
Re: Perfectionist
Fantastic! I'd buy one for myself and probably get a second for a friend.
Re: Perfectionist
My first woot shirt! Heck.. my first woot period!
