Re: Flight of the Ojibwe Wawa

This is my first pretty good attempt. Be kind.

Casinos in Canada do not allow you to take your drink to the gaming table - at least not in QUebec.

Thanks!

Castle Elsinore was also the setting for Shakespeare's "Hamlet" -- and that's why we see the ghost come out of the video game at the brewery it was an analog of Hamlet's father's ghost. Take off hoser.

When you are dealing with people like me!!! I put on a jacket if the temperature drops below 70F!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Re: Hairless Beaver

I like the style, keep at it!

This is so infinitely better than the "Be a Mountie" one that's currently riding on top (the one that would probably never actually be worn by anyone - just like an ugly Christmas Sweater)

THIS, I'd wear *frequently*. I love love love it.

Re: F*CK CANADA!

This will be rejected for not being PG-13.
You might want to reconsider.

What started out as an idea to combine all of the provincial/territorial flowers, I ended up using just the gorgeous fireweed, the official flower of the Yukon. It is an on-theme shirt without being obviously about Canada, thus requiring no explanation to wear every day. Well. Not every day. Unless you wash it every night, please.

I like this one, great color pop. I wont wear it, but may buy it for my daughter. +1 vote

Ah, now that's the fonzie I remember!

Re: As bad as it gets

As stated in the other entry similar to this, the scale for the US is smaller than the scale for Canada, so they do not match up at the right places. Can't wear this.

I hope you get the chance to! I'm liking your goose. Very neat use of symbolism.

The maple leaf replaces the "O" in "FOCK". Geez you Woot! people have a dirty minds...

mihalis aya wrote:The internet store is the official store, run by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Veterans' Association. I'm seriously doubting your design is different enough to stay up--they've rejected on much shakier grounds. Good luck, though!

I think you did an above average job on the details, but like mihalis, I would be shocked if this made it all the way till Thursday. Woot has rejected shirts that were far more dissimilar.

Nothing you can do at this point, just enjoy the ride ;-)

BTW in PG-13 movies, they actually say the swear words, so by movie standards, this shirt is only rated PG. I stand by it.

Re: F*CK CANADA!

WELCOME OUR NEW NORTHERN WOOT FRIENDS! VOTE NOW!!!!!
http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=11664

i like that the maple leaf is a vinette/faded out on the right. the colors are great. the lines are wonderful as usual. your designs are stylistically yours and are always strong. strike out on your own, matt, and just make your own damn tshirts so i can actually wear one. i dont know why you havent won yet.

Re: maple leaf

Wow, Great job! This derby is turning out better than expected.

sure, the scale is way t.f.o., but is still f.a.h.

Ha. I don't know why it gets all blurry but I've loaded a larger image of the design here:

A signature link wouldn't do me much good, 'cause I'm not really active in the message boards. I think you're right, though, that that's where a lot of votes are won. I'm glad you like this design!

Kidgrenouille has been around for a long time, and has always submitted quality work. It's time for him to get some recognition. I'm going to attempt to 'edgarize' this fine artist. Anyone who wants to help can steal the 'vote kidfrog' button from my sig.

If you're not sure how to do this, press 'reply' copy the following code, and past it in the sig line of the 'your account' link above.

Great idea, the derby could definitely use some more consistent submitters, and Grenouille has mad skillz :D

"Google is your friend" as they say. But get this -- type "spirit island alberta" into Google, and your post/my entry is #3 on the list! How bizzare is that?

EDIT: No longer near the top on Google, but it was there for a couple days -- really!

You don't have to convince me. It's up to woot. I'm just giving you info based on previous derbies. You may want to look at the what is woot page to see what kinds of things they will disqualify.

Re: FonzEhhh

i rarely comment on shirts, but this is way too good to pass up. This has to make it, this shirt is brilliant! I hope that within a month I can rock out kung fu cats and a moose fonzie...
