Re: Woody the Tiger is Cheating



Sure he's paid the big bucks, and he's only supposed to be spooning one. But sometimes, there are so many other flavors that you've just got to pour milk onto the competition.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=38071]Do You Fluffy, Take Yarnball . . .



This is a spoof on the Japanese guy who married his game character "girlfriend". Here Fluffy is getting married to his favorite game

I'm still trying to figure out a style. For this one I went with an intentionally scratchy look.

This design is a dramatic depiction of the "Death Certificate" Healthcare ordeal that occurred this past Summer.
Big thanks to cjmason for passing me along the idea, and thanks as always to you guys for your votes and support.

Re: Eight Arms to Build With

Re: Death Certificate



I think this is one of your best linearts. I also like the colors a lot; I think it could have been too creepy but the color choices made the design more accessible. Good luck!

Re: warming her pearls



Inspired by 2009 British poet laureate appointee, Carol Ann Duffy's poem "Warming Her Pearls". In 2009, Carol Duffy was the first woman appointed to the position in its 341-year history.

Re: I, Octopus



i posted this on the forum for feed back and was advised by bass in a PM that a similar shirt exist, hopefully the content of the illustration keeps it from being too similar, anyways i created a 2nd octopus design as a back up, hope you all dig it!

Re: Make that 5 panda cubs, aww yeah!


San Diego Zoo panda gives birth to 5th cub

Pandas are not very good breeders and are extremely endangered, so this
is very good news!

Thanks for all the pre-derby feedback everyone!

Vote!

Re: I, Octopus



I hope this one sticks around--the other is nice, but it screams 'In Soviet Russia, Octopus uses YOU for tool'...Not really something I'd wear. This one is great.

I hope at least one of these prints. My girlfriend does tech theatre, and she would get a huge kick out of both. But I particularly like the one with eight different tools. Reminds me of her going at full speed.

Tailor Swift is being disrupted by his stupid noisy compass that is strangely always pointing west.

This took WAY to long because I didn't have internet which meant not references which just exploded the time. anyway I hope the reference is obvious and its 2009ey enough. Thanks doods.

Re: fallen king




First, I am NOT a fan of Michael Jackson, but this illustration is SO well done, it sure deserves to print.

I like the pen & ink look it gets, and the transition to the music symbols and notes is very smooth and easy. I think it's not too heavy-handed of a design either, so theoretically a person like me could still wear it without my shirt screaming "Michael Jackson" all over the place

Re: I, Octopus



Yeah, I like the one with 8 tools in each arm too - not to mention what you've done with the colors to give it a nice octopussy texture. The other octo design seems kinda militant to me.

Do you have a link to the event that inspired this shirt?

Star Trek was one of the greatest movies in a while -- even beyond 2009.

Re: fallen king



I think this is wonderfully illustrated, Ski!
I knew someone would tackle the MJ death- and was expecting a lot of gloves. Which, I couldn't picture as very wearable. This, on the other hand, is extremely wearable.
I like it very much, and it has my vote.

Re: I FIGHT NO MORE


On July 8, 2009, what is believed to be the largest dog fighting raid in U.S. History transpired. 407 dogs were rescued from a life of torture and pain.
