Re: inspired by Island of the Blue Dolphins

Loved this book when I was a kid... read it til the cover fell off.

I was thinking the same thing. For whatever reason people really like the fish shirts.

it's a kids book. I had to read it in an advanced english 9 class in high school and my classmates parents all got mad because we were in an advanced class reading a book that was a 5th grade reading level. We got switched to a different teacher the 2nd semester.

Great design! Very cute.

This is so COOL! I like the Bear giving up his arm! Thats Friendship! Great work Stellardig*

I think that's how most people hold their pencils. I'm a lefty myself and it's definitely how I hold mine. Plus as a lefty I have to bend my wrist a bit more so that I don't smudge what I've just written. It would be weird if someone held a pen or pencil with the top pointing at their body. Not sure if this was designed with lefties in mind, but it looks pretty accurate to me.

Re: Inspired by One Fish, Two Fish

This is just beautiful. I love, the colors and the high contrast look to the water. Great work!

Re: Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Great Job! Another Stellar Design! Stellardig*

Re: Inspired by Devine Justice

Devine Justice? Sounds like a book about virtuous vintners.

Great Design. Great book!

Also, any actual cover for this book would feature the four children involved in some magically symbolic adventure. Perhaps not overly clever or original, but certainly not fit to be a cover illustration.

What I tried to do here is to create what I pictures as a child when my father told me he would be reading the book to me. I also wanted an iconic design that might take people several seconds to translate but ultimately grant them the easy payoff for solving this simple poctographic puzzle.

Well said. And it works nicely as a shirt. GMV.

Must have been a REALLY short tape...did Richard Burton perform?

Re: Inspired by How to Draw 101 Animals

This is great. I love how you used rabbits to draw themselves. Subtle, and has nice detail. Definitely voted.

We are talking about The Giver, referring to the dystopian novel, right? I know it's not exactly rigorous reading material, but knowing what I read in my Pre-AP Honors English Class in 9th Grade, it could easily meet those criteria.

I also wouldn't label a 5th grade level book (I think I read it in 3rd) as a children's book.

Thanks everyone! I know why I don't get votes, my style doesn't always allow for a great looking T... My stuff may not be "Soft" enough for allot of people! No matter I will keep at the wheel and get some exposure for when I get my act togeather and get a store up.

Re: The Sound And The Fur(r)y

This shirt is my favourite! I need it in my life.

really appreciate it, thank you. :D

Re: Inspired by Everyone Poops

a poop shirt on a poop brown shirt? how is this not in the fog? funnier if it were a bird and not a human. but still fog-worthy.

Re: Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I really really want one of these!!!

Re: Inspired by Eclipse

What finally sold me on this shirt was when I realized that it would be relatively light on ink b/c of how often you use the shirt color. Good job, loopy, GMV.

Re: Inspired by CATCH-22

This is actually pretty well done. Unfortunately, I think the text on the jersey is going to kill you

Re: Inspired by Catcher in the Rye

Lemon is way too underused. Love the concept, quite clever. I'd have to get this; it was my favorite book of my angsty teen years

Detail:

I tried posting this when I first posted my entry and it only ended up showing up on the boards... So here's my second try!

Oh man, favorite book from my childhood! I hope this wins so bad.

This has a very nice creepy yet cute quality to it... This is so you boots. Nice work as usual. Hurry up and get that book published!

Hands down the best shirt for designers in this entire pot-o-good ideas.

Re: Inspired by Soul Music ( Discworld)

I know its a bit late, but hey here it is: A band of skeletons ( in sombreros) and a couple of evil spirits thrown in for good measure. Enjoy.

Re: Inspired by Disco Bloodbath

very cool!

Re: Inspired By The Catcher In The Rye

Not gonna lie, at first glance I thought the trickle of melting butter was a sperm tail. I was quite confused. But then I understood what it actually is and had myself a good chuckle.
Besides that, the idea of making the mitt out of the butter was a good one.

Re: Inspired by Catch-22.

I really like this one. GMV.

I LOVE Terry Pratchet!!!

Re: Inspired by One Fish, Two Fish

I like the fish motif as much as the next guy, but it's wayyyy overdone.

Re: Inspired by A Wrinkle in Time

I like the concept a lot, but those halftones on the wrinkle don't really do it for me. On the other hand, not being a T-shirt designer myself, I can't really offer any constructive feedback as to how I think it might be improved :/ Other than those two lines though, I think it is a great concept/execution.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=25417]Inspired by

I'm honestly really surprised that this isn't getting more votes. I think it must have something to do with the fact that it was submitted rather late relatively and the whole name recognition issue because it truly is an excellent design!

Re: Inspired by Round the Moon

oh, I so hope this gets printed-- it's just wonderful.

Re: Inspired by Soul Music ( Discworld)

I love the little skeleton band- really cool - GMV!

DEATH TO DISCO!

nice shirt. i like blood, so this is a good shirt for me to wear. because of the blood. i like it. is there anyway you could lower the design a little bit on the shirt? i was thinking it would cool for a pregnant lady to have the bloody disco ball protruding from her belly. think about it.

Re: Inspired by Crime and Punishment

The plus symbol is text since it is found on the keyboard.
