Re: Bad Mood

What to say... I think we've all been there at one point!

Re: Morning Commute

Forgot to say:
Voted.


And if it doesn't win, I beg you for a high-res version and permission to print one up, myself.

Will it be hard to see? I didn't want it to stick out too much.. Perhaps going with a darker shirt color and making the city/smoke/clouds white would've been better.. Thanks though. I'll see what changing the colors around does.

I've got a shirt from a way back derby called "follow the leader". It has a bug light hanging from a line, and it goes almost clean up to the shoulder, even higher than this one. So they *can* print it. They of course may decide not do, but don't say they wont.

Enjoy.

You may have to try again, Jbedwar, Jacks are not Aces....

This is brilliant. It's one of those designs that you can look at 5 times and find something new each time.

Re: Modern Day Sisyphus

I like this idea, and it's pretty well done. However, the Greek key motif you have around the circle should be continuous as it stands for eternity and is thus an unbroken pattern.

Re: Urban Painter

Excellent design!

If the inside cog in the upper-left is turning clockwise, the bottom cog is turning in which direction?

Counter clockwise? This would be so much better on something not cream. I like the design a lot, otherwise.

JadenKale wrote:You may have to try again, Jbedwar, Jacks are not Aces....

I'm aware of that. There is nothing that suggests it being an ace except having the big heart in the middle. But honestly this idea is not very good anyway and not worth putting any more time on it. I wouldnt vote for it if i was everyone else.

Re: Urban Painter

While koi has been done quite a few times already, I really like yours. It has your signature gritty and urban look to it.

thank you so much! Yea and the last post-it is supposed to be the big punch line hehe

thanks for all the votes, yay!

Re: Humans as Resources

Really hoped the simplicity of this design would get it some attention. I think maybe I should have made the detail a little better.

Thanks for that.

Re: At least it's something...

simple and to the point - perfect.

I just wish my job ended at 5... ;)

This is my second derby entry. Any comments or criticism is welcome.

Re: UNION

I'll try this for a third time from a third computer (for some reason my posts are not appearing). Sorry if I end up making a triple post here. Just trying to get my post up finally.

The union: cornerstone of American workers' rights and impetus of labor laws. As I mentioned in the forum, my design spells out UNION in a stylized, unified way with the simple abstract background figures symbolizing a unified (unionized) mass of workers. Strength in numbers. I realize it may be a bit difficult to read and I contemplated closing up the small space between the UN and ON to improve legibility, but decided not to so that all of the letters would be directly connected and thus form one shape (the word is UNION afterall). I preferred the red, white, and blue color scheme to the others I tried. Another thing I was shooting for was a design that could stand on its own outside of the derby theme. I think I was able to do that with the design as UNION carries many meanings, not just in reference to labor unions. I hope you like it. If so, please consider voting for it. If not, I welcome any and all feedback, especially suggestions for improvements to the design. Thanks for checking it out.

Re: Urban Painter

Lawl...

"Oh noes... more koi" ... "Oh noes... the shirts haz no cubicle"

C'mon. We've had multiple birds, trees, turtles, etc., and art is totally work related.

The browns against the grays don't quite work for me, but I love your lines and inky-ness as always. =D

here is a bigger detail pic for those curious what the middle ones say

Re: Job Selection

Videogame reference? Got cognitive dissonance?

Na I'm just kidding... I like this shirt.

klswoot wrote:Thanks Molli for the vote to get mine in the fog. Fingers crossed that it has a little staying power.

Maybe my vote will help kls. I really dig this. Way up my alley, style-wise and content-wise. I hope you get back to fogland soon. I had a similar idea (in style) but mine was a central worker's head surrounded by the chaos of a busy work day to the point where the head is enveloped. Couldn't pull it off in too short a time so I scratched it. Now that I see yours, I'm glad I did because it is excellent. Best of luck.

Re: Soylent Green Corporation

Very funny. GMV. Best of luck.

Re: The Fight for Middle Management

The man with the rollie chair wheels is a stud. =) Rawr. I love the epic artwork you've been putting out recently! Vote'd.

Re: Heart Attack

Morbid...yet oh so awesome...

Re: Heart Attack

Too much work for this heart will make him quit!

Re: M.C. Escher: Space Planner for Hire

This is my favorite, at least so far. Great work yet again. Even a great title. As an Escher enthusiast, I hope this stays at the top of the heap. Best of luck maintaining your position (and your stranglehold on these derbies!).

Re: Back to the Grind

As a sales associate at a groovy giant retail outlet, I need this shirt as well!

Re: Shoot Me An Email

I usually don't condone violent material, but this is fantastic!

Re: Urban Painter

thank you.

I did NOT say groovy above! It was a much meaner word! Censorship!!!!!!

Re: Heart Attack

As a medical professional, I really appreciate the accurate placement of the heart.

JadenKale wrote:Or... they just like MC Escher more and will vote for that one instead ;)

Or they'll do as I did and vote for them both. I can completely relate to this. I've actually made a few of my "masterpieces" in meetings, honestly some of it is among my favorite work. I guess some of the meetings just put me in that zone. The only problem I have is most of the pieces aren't easily transferrable because they are on lined pad paper or graph paper. Best of luck with both of your designs.

Me too. I mean, mine would if I could ever get my butt to work on time... :D

Re: Urban Painter

"If you're at work, you're surrounded by inspiration for this week's theme. It's work, Morrissey's least favorite four-letter word, every bit as inevitable as death and taxes and sometimes even more humiliating. From the thrill of payday to the agony of mandatory meetings, from clock-in to clock out, from the deepest sewer to the highest skyscraper, work has a billion stories to tell. Find a good one and make a shirt out of it.
Text is allowed this week, but only if accompanied by graphics. In other words, no slogan-only shirts. But text can be a major element of your design."


There was no limitation here really. I am an artist, outside of my full time job, and it IS WORK! Designing these shirts is work...someone should have done a shirt about shirts....GMV!

Re: My Boss is Such a Beast

I love the color scheme but the style is just not for me. But seriously, great colors.

Re: M.C. Escher: Space Planner for Hire

GMV!
