One thing though.... I feel like since there are so many bits, it would have been helpful if there was some unifying element tying them together... like crumbs, or grass, or some kind of bg or something that connects all the parts together. Does that make sense?

Hey jasneko,

Glad you like it!
Thanks for the feedback, it made a lot of sense, I'll have to keep it in mind for future entries. =)

Re: Overindulgence

This is AWESOME, I Really want this shirt, the perfect present!

You're most welcome. Some weeks I am truly surprised by some of the entries that seem to be passed over for ones I don't care for. However that is how it goes sometimes but don't give up, you never know which entry you submit that you didn't really think would do well, that will.

I can't believe this didn't receive more votes -adorable. I do, however, agree with the note about grill line sizes.

4Se7ens wrote:Totally agree. I do think there is way too much name recognition on woot and it's very hard for new artists to get decent numbers. But yeah... this was a very clever design, and executed more professionally than more than 4 out of 5 submissions. If not the fog, it should've easily been in the top ten. Great job! Don't be discouraged by shirt.woot.

thanks! : )

Re: Some BBQ

so, how accurate is shirtderbystats.com?

Sadface.

Any chance this will find its way onto threadless or some other such site?

This should have printed. I hope you sell it somewhere.

Re: Mongolian BBQ

This should have printed. I hope you end up selling it elsewhere.

re: overindulgence

Bummer this didn't win. I really wanted one!

Re: Mongolian BBQ

Darn, I was hoping this shirt would get printed. I so dig it.

I loved this design. The scene lures meaning in rather than forcing it into existence. Do more of this kind of work (even if it is Edgar-ish)!

Re: Mongolian BBQ

If you do get this printed somewhere, count me in! Either PM me or at least leave a link here!

IMHO, this is better than some of the winners!

mitchellp wrote:Ok... So I changed the title, added some shading, and changed the characters a little bit. And I realize its a little late for submitting a shirt design, but I really liked this idea. I think it turned out pretty good. If you like it too, please give me a vote. Thanks!

I like the shirt alot. New here, any idea if they will actually make it? Or is it only one shirt per Derby?

This better get 2nd or 3rd place or I'll be quite upset that two weeks in a row a great design got screwed! I'm in for one for sure, even tho my gf thinks it's mean!

byrbwr wrote:this is just, just awful. i can barely tell what's going on in the picture. i had to read the comments just to know it was green eggs and ham. this will get printed, no doubt about it. but sadly it's because of who the 'artist' is, and not because of the amazing artwork. a shame.

What part of a picture of green eggs in ham doesn't clue you in that it is a picture of green eggs in ham?

Gotta wait 60 days for the rights to revert back to me and then I can submit it elsewhere. PM me if you want me to let you know. Thanks.

oops... wrong place

skirochester wrote:yeah... I'll come up with somewhere to print this. unfortunately I'll have to wait 60 days, so hopefully people will still want the shirt in august. plenty of good grilling days left.

with over 700 votes, maybe 50 of them would support it at cameesa. otherwise I'll put it on kdubbs and my cafepress site (which is still a work in progress): cafepress.com/A2ts

thanks to everyone who voted and for the support! I'll make sure to announce where it ends up.

I can wait 2 months to get this. awaiting accouncement

It came in 2nd place and is now on sale (sat. june 6th).

Re: Overindulgence

Congrats on the print. Well deserved. *high fives*

Stayed up to no avail. Would still like to buy this shirt!

*sigh* me too.

re: some bbq

Yeah, I'm sorta new around here.. is there any way this shirt can be purchased (either on this site or elsewhere) even though it didn't win?

Woot owns derby designs for two months after they're submitted; after that the rights return to the artist, and they may or may not chose to try to get it printed somewhere else.

This is assuming that Woot doesn't select the design for one of the do-over derbies... yeah, it's a bit complicated.

I really love this shirt and am bummed that it didn't' make it. Wooters must not be into Charlotte's Web. The brutes!

Re: Some BBQ

Five votes away as opposed to last week's three... I hope for better luck with your Devil is in the details design, it's only fair.

Every year for my birthday, I invite my friends over to a BBQ with a twist. They bring mystery ingredients that I have no foreknowledge of and I try to turn them into something tasty for everyone. Sort of an Iron Chef BBQ. This year will be my fifth annual and I MUST have this shirt to wear at the grill. My birthday is in August, which considering the timing, I would say is kismet, perhaps? Dare I say, Destiny even? (with a capital D, as well) You have to post where we can get this shirt! The gods of barbecue compel you!

Yeah I really loved this shirt. Bummed it didn't make it. If it every goes up for sale....let me know or something somehow, I'd definitely buy one. The color and the picture are both perfect. My favorite shirt I've seen on shirt woot so far.

Re: Some BBQ

Aww, that is indeed a shame. Well, one can only hope that it is either printed elsewhere in a couple of months or brought up into another derby. If anyone finds out about this shirt being sold somewhere, please notify me.

Re: Weenie Roast

Ah this would have been perfect for the Hot Dog Death march this weekend

Good gravy, that's some poorly drawn artwork.

We are "The King of the Grill" and we approve.

4Se7ens wrote:Very cool. This seems like it's right up woot's alley. Despite the very respectable score, I'm really surprised that it didn't do better here. The execution of the halftones are flawless.

I really want this shirt. Are you going to sell it elsewhere?

Re: BearBQ

i want this very much

Agreed. This is genius. I'm hoping it wins in the Double Take derby, but if not I will buy it from anywhere for any amount of money if it's printed elsewhere.

Sorry for being so late to respond, but they only sell the top 3 shirts. They also give honorable mentions that get voted in the honorable mention derby. But if I put this shirt somewhere else, I'll send you a message.

Re: Some BBQ

So this one is not going to be produced? that is too bad. I wanted this shirt. Very funny and great style.

Hands down...this shirt should have won 1st place!

Who judges these things?

Every Grillin' Man needs this Grillin' Shirt! Awesome design! Can't wait to buy! (wherever it ends up)
