Re: 1969 - Woodstock and the Summer of 69.

Nice one, KLS.. love the coloring of it all.. it screams woodstock

Re: 1963-Bobby Fischer again

Honestly, you could do away with the borders to the left and right of the chess piece and I'd like it a lot more. The bright { and } designs on either side of the knight take focus away from the chess piece and without them the design would feel a lot less box-like (inasmuch as this design neatly fits into a rectangle right now, and I deseperatly want to see a design that's different).

They made one on Star Trek...

Thanks Patch! It does look like more than 6 colors were used, but it really is just six as I used the shirt color for the green.

The guitar and peace dove were adapted from an actual woodstock poster. I thought it woudl be good to have the Peace, Love, Music theme across the car.

Why would anybody's username be anything? I see the point you think you are making, but it is not neccesarily a good asumption.

Yes! And he stashed his knowledge in a fortune cookie *wiggles eyebrows*

Re: 1979 - Killer Rabbit Attacks President

This was inspired by the other killer rabbit design here this week. =)

I didn't know a killer rabbit had ever attacked a president, but there ya go! On 4/20 too.

I agree... awesome shirt.
The placement/footprint of it, and I'd even venture to say the way the brown may just blend in with the black shirt a little bit could have a nice effect on this shirt. GMV

Re: 1982: Thriller

I like it. Did you do it in Vector or in Pixel editor?

Re: 1982: Thriller 2

Took my vote back. Stop advertising your shirt in other people's threads. It's buttery croissant.

Ovulating? My Goodness! make this a shirt already. and a sticker. and maybe some manilla folders. and a coffee mug. thank you.

I updated it, so it's easier to watch without seizures now ;-)

Thanks ;-)

Amach06 wrote:Your best shirt yet. IMO. Would def. buy and wear this. Great Job. Altho my favorite shirt this week is the transformer shirt. lol.

Very much appreciated, Amach06 :-)

Why does the cranberry distort? I swear the print ready is crisp and awesome!

Re: 1973 - Let the scanning begin

1973 was the year that the Barcode was invented. This is a tribute to my birth year and the ever so popular and dominate Barcode. The Barcode is of the year 1973.

I composed the Zombie Jacksons in a pixel editor called Pixen for Mac OS X, freeze framing a QuickTime of the music video as reference. It was actually a lot of fun. Thanks for the question!

Be sure to vote for Thriller 2 as well! THANKS!

Everyone seems to have a vote badge in the signature. Just trying to give props to the artists I was in the fog with and also campaign, as Woot suggests in the derby FAQ. I don't think it was out of line, but thanks for offering your opinion and best of luck to you!

A gun and a beer, somehow I already knew he'd bring some beer. I mean, his name is "Lawnchair Larry". It all makes sense now.

Good Submission dude!

After the woot 60-day hold there's a good chance I'll be putting this and a few others up somewhere. Was fun to draw (some drawings are just a chore sometimes)

I would try your luck at threadless. I can see this getting printed there.

This is weird

kixxster wrote:I really like this now that I've read the description. Nice job relating the two. Not sure I'd wear it though, as I'd have to explain it every time someone looked at it..

Glad you like it. I don't know that you'd need to explain it to people, though... if they're Pink Floyd fans they know the prism idea and they know that the last song on the album is "Eclipse." You can add the information that there was an unusually long solar eclipse in the year Dark Side of the Moon was released, but that's not needed to "get" the shirt.

If they're not Pink Floyd fans, it's a nicely designed graphic element with no meaning whatsoever. :-)

AWESOME!! I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm new to this contest and would love some comments/critiques/advice on my submissions... Was 1977 that crappy of a year? Links in signature...

How's that? :-)

Is that Duck Cheney.

Seriously though, I love this design.

Re: 1984: Duck Hunt {RESUB}

Awesome shirt XD Duck hunt <3

Re: 1981 - The Year Cars Learned To Fly (re-sub)

Darn, I was hoping you'd choose gray. Still liked the design though!

JustJiggles wrote:I would say this is heading for 5th place slowly.

Uhmm... it doesn't appear to be. It's in the fog right now and has the best score in "the hotness." This one looks like it's going to be printed.

I could be wrong, of course. We might have a surprise come from behind winner. That doesn't seem to be happening at the moment, though.

Re: 1976 - Rocky begins Filming in Philly

As a slightly outside of Philly native, I must say this is a great design. Rocky designs have a tendency to be cheesy but I like this one!

Re: 1979 - First Publication of the Neverending story

Michael Ende's "The Neverending Story" (Yes, it was a book before it became a movie!) was first published in 1979.

Remember Atreyu and the Auryn?
