Agreed, sort of. I like the way it looks, but could never see this as an actual shirt I would own. You have my vote on your creative use of 3 mimis.

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

super sub! +5

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

+1 From me. This made me lol.

Besides anything with BACON is a win.

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

mmm! bacon!!!!

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

That's a clever way of connecting memes together. I like it. :^)

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Is it intentional that the code goes "A B" instead of "B A"? <_<

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Fix the code. And i'd vote for it.

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I agree, very wearable - though not sure i like the nom nom text on the bottom (Probably just a personal preference thing). Still, the work is pretty good - gmv

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Question is will the correct version print, or the one from the derby? I would have a hard time buying a shirt with the code wrong on it.

If correct code prints, i will be buying automatically.

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Hahaha! A marvelous mashup of multiple memes.

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

unless you resubmit, they will print the incorrect code version.. and I cant wear the wrong code dude..

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

From a design perspective it would be excellent if you could work the fact that bacon starts with the B and the A. Perhaps also, tying the cat in tighter to the rest of the shirt would be nice.

Had I copied the code correctly from the beginning I might've seen that too, but I'm okay with it as is. That's a great idea, tho, thanks!

And, yea, the cat could possibly be a little more graphically similar to the other shapes, but then he might not be so cute...

Re: IZ SHO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Definitely the best in the derby. I'll be bummed if this doesn't make it.

Is there anyway you can share how you got that distressed look to the color? Was that a specific brush? I've attempted the same look myself and it has looked too contrived.

Sure, distressing an image should be a basic skill for any designer. I have a mess of scraps of paper I did various scratches and marks on with black ink and anything from a wire brush to a crowquill pen to some random scrap of wood I found in the garage. I've scanned these and brought them into AI and Live Traced them with the Comic Art option. When I need one, I open it up, copy it and put it over the final image, then set the color to the same as the shirt color. I had to clean up this one some so the distressing wasn't obliterating words or important parts of the art. When I was happy with it, I selected everything and hit Merge, then deleted everything that was the shirt color.

There are sites all over that have free texture images you can use, but you need to have one that is both high contrast and 80-90% white so your image doesn't get completely obscured by the distress.

thanks for responding. I gave it a try yesterday on some practice images and was very pleased with the effect I was able to create. Much appreciated.
