Re: EnDurgey Bunny

Reminds me of a Rabbid, from Rayman. Also like how you combined Energizer and Duracel into one word.

Thanks so much! Every vote means a lot to me. =)

Re: Where it comes from...and where it goes.

hey, I made the diameters of the hoses the oil is coming from proportional to the amount of oil produced by those locations.

Your skill in creating something that is both beautiful and popular just makes him feel self-conscious about his blatant lack of talent and originality in t-shirt design.

Keep up the good work and don't let Adders bashing get to you. He hides behind his vocabulary, wordy grammar, and poor attempts at wit to confuse or dupe others into thinking he is good at something - Which appers to be being negative and writing crappy blogs and not making popular tshirts.

The difference between anything I've done and this shirt is that if my shirts printed, they would look bad based on my talent or lack thereof (and I would never deny I'm a total amateur). This will look bad because it was incredibly poorly done.

Look at other shirt sites that matter. There is more on threadless with a sloppy drawing style than there is with clip-art looking blocks and no meaning. There is more similarity to my work on Design By Humans than to this low-visibility, lower-concept dreck. Even Uneetee insists on real designs and not this. I am not speaking out of bitterness or trying to obfuscate the truth... I am working with what real people who are respected in the shirt business seem to think. Woot is voted for by a bunch of know-nothings who love computers, and a handful of people who have an eye for art (note an eye, not a hand) and a desire to see true art go rewarded. I hide behind nothing... the people who believe otherwise hide behind the votes as if that is a sign of quality. Think of something that was voted for and is the best... look at oscars and grammys. Look at politics even. It's rare for something to win based on relative merit. Woot is all the more proof. Other sites are smart enough to not trust numbskulls with the final results.

If my skill, or lack thereof, means anything, it means I'm able to be fearless about speaking my mind. Don't kid yourselves, most designers here shut their faces in public because they're afraid of losing the votes of the same tools who vote for carp like this in the first place. Don't think their silence means they approve... they're just more concerned about keeping a good reputation and some solid paychecks than speaking their minds. I have nothing to lose, and am happy to speak their minds for them.

Woot insults you guys for the idiocy you buy. Learn the facts. You might be the majority, but that doesn't make you right.

Re: Powered By Music

LOVE IT! gmv.

Re: Yay!! Cupcake!

Am I the only one that doesn't get this one?

Re: Dracula

His left leg (our right) is positioned kinda weird... & where is his other hand?

..... What is he doing under there? *^_^*

Re: Cofee Levels Critical

If this shirt wins, this will be the first Woot shirt I have bought myself in a while. ^^

nope...i don't get it either...although it's eerily similar to the "Yay Taco" daily shirt that was printed recently...

Re: Lightbulb Visits A Modern Art Museum

I don't dig yellow too much, but this is a brilliant idea. ^^

Re: Circuit-ulatory System

This one is just itching to break into the top 4, I know it. I think we'll see a turn around by the end of the week.

Re: Sound Energy

It's great having funny shirts around. But we also need shirts like these too. It's a really cool design and something that would be different for me. I think this needs ranked higher.

Re: Energizing Bunnies

This shirt might be too cute for myself. But, I wouldn't rule out getting this as a gift. ^^

Re: Buzz the Barista

This made me L.O.L. :P

Re: Sound Energy

Hoping this shirt makes the fog... love the design, great job!

Heeheh. Transcending space and time through caffeine ingestion. That Buddha guy could have saved a lot of meditation if he knew about that.

Herding monsters might have been easier. :-)

*TeeHee* silly koala bear *:-)

Same, I'd definitely buy this shirt if they printed it... pretty sick design

We actually get the most crude oil from canada - and mexico and nigeria each supply us with almost as much as saudi arabia. Nice concept though.

Re: The Carrot Crusader

Anything you lack in artistic skill is MORE than made up by your HILARIOUSLY AWESOME concept! Keep it up.

Reminds me of the Flaming Carrot.

I am 95% sure I will buy this shirt. The other 5% is due to my damn wallet. Damn damn wallet.

YAY POLLY! Is tres bien, I'd buy that for reals. A bargain at twice the price.

Re: the NEW hybrid

hahaha...cool concept and nicely executed, gmv.

Wasn't he one of the Mystery Men?

The comic book ones, not the movie.

I considered making the line after the coffee cup more normal, but I was going for the idea that the coffee-resuscitation is a jolt.

Considering the competition, I'm fairly sure this won't make fog, but I am quite pleased to make it this far. =)

I looked for the Avenue Q EKG, but alas, I cannot find it. o_o Rather too bad because now I'm curious, hahah.

Thanks for the comments folks!

Re: The Nectar of the Gods

Whoa... I can't believe this is out of the fog. I thought it looked pretty strong from the hotness before... I guess things were happening all those hours I was offline.

Eh, since I'm commenting anyway, I'll chime in on the copyright discussion. This bottle doesn't look like a coke bottle to me. It's certainly similar with the curves, but I can't see it being rejectable. And I'm not sure about this, but didn't Coke copyright the bottle AND the red colour together? I recall it being mentioned in a rejection during the Summer derby (I think).

I think I would have liked a Coke-style label on the bottle marking it as ambrosia, but I'm guessing most people would prefer it without the text. Great design tgentry - as always!

Re: Wasted Energy

Gotta love the irony.

I really like this design. I'm shocked it didn't get voted higher.

Really nice work
