Shirt.Woot

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race

Once you get your shirt, why don't you post a pic?

Seems like it's rodent week- This very strange I feel on a shirt, I'm afraid that it would print way too large to be interesting. Congrats to the artist though.

Interesting concept, although I feel that the cheese holes are very... dizzying. Are they supposed to be one rat?

If you gave me 100 guesses, I'd have never guessed this was GodMachine.

Guess word's gotten around about what wooters like, eh?

Of course you should buy it. You know...

To let everyone know that you're THE BIG CHEESE.

yeah..i don't know about getting the rat shirt outta the closet...CHEDDAH!!

couldn't pay me 2 pounds of cheddar to wear this shirt.

Xactly.

I really like the idea, but the mouse looks strange. I think it would have been better if he had looked happier as opposed to drunk.

Although I suppose many would consider the two states synonymous.

well... winnie71 says yes XP

Sadly, this isn't the best representation of Godmachine's work.

I like cheese that much.

Yay, like 50 woot shirts, and finally 1st sucker!!

Haha, I work w/ kids, and have a very liberal dress code. I know a few that will crack up at this shirt!

I'm not saying it's a bad design, I'm just saying who is wearing this....

wow, the rats just plain nasty looking... Seems like now woot have kids sizes that most of the designs are towards that age range.

ahuhu, you aren't ever lying! That rat looks like SO full of rabies it's a shame. And that cheese... ugh.. I thought that was SpongeBob's head or something.

It's not catering to kids so much as child mentalities. Woot has plenty of those.

And at the end of the day, it's not a horrible shirt... not great, but not horrible... It's just... very obviously tailor made for wooters, given how dramatically different it is from everything else I've ever seen from the artist.

They've already done it before. It sold less than 200. These are selling more.

I'm all for Godmachine getting the nod, don't get me wrong. I just would have liked to see something with a bit more detail:

Cute, but I can't see myself wearing a light yellow shirt.

Is that the dude who did the Darkest Hour album artwork?

no thanks, never be caught dead in one. if you paid me.

No, I feel like it's weird. Woot hires really good artists, they just come up with lower quality shirts or something... I was shocked to find that the milk and cookies one was done by the same guy who did the bunny family anomalies shirt on threadless.

Saw it - tried to block it out. That kind of gorgeous just makes me sad when faced with Ralphie the Rat here.

I do have to say I'm disappointed. We had a week and half of Halloween t-shirts (some of which were sort of decent), and only two Christmas shirts, both of which were geared towards a very specific demographic audience. I was really willing to shell out money for Christmas shirts and the overnight shipping costs had the designs been anything other than "thug life wannabee." And now, two days of rodent shirts, not Christmasy... Sigh...

This shirt is a shame, especially when you look at some of the other AMAZING shirts that the artist has come up with for other places/purposes. Not all of them are my thing, but dammmmn - I'd take a creepy skull over this...thing...any day.

Double post, I know...but I love that shirt! :O

Eh Hrm. I only offer up what I feel is a good representation of what I do.

Even then though, the shirts dont sell well... so I dont blame artists for offering up something else since their other work wont be appreciated anyways. you guys can say all that broohaaahaa... but my test proves the statement. ALL my daily designs EVER have been reckoned almost immediately, and most I spend TONS of time on.

sometimes i wonder why i spend 15+ hours on a design when I could probably offer up a 3 hour slapped together design and still get paid 1000.

fact is most people cant tell how much time it takes to make a nevermore shirt vs. something like GM's fancy work. or at least its because they dont think about it.

end rant.

the rat's face is super creepy. and just plain gross.

Christmas being a secular holiday, and halloween not, I'm not shocked. I wager this coming derby will be wintry anyway, tho, much as it was last year 'round this time.

The stick figure artiste wonders why good artists come to woot with their C game?

They'll all be on Monday and Tuesday... watch and see. I'm just surprised we didn't have a sequel to:

i happen to think this shirt is tha shiznits..in for one

Ugh..this shirt is AWFUL!

Perhaps dreidel Lolcat could come back as a sequel and eat these rodent shirts.

I agree, yours was really really good and it's a shame it didn't sell more. But honestly, I feel like sometimes the shirts that artists make aren't even representative of their style. I'm looking through this guy's shirts and I don't see any other shirts even similar to this one. It's not like a less effort required version of his style, it's just completely different.

GODMACHINE ROCKS!!!

Eh? Do you mean that Halloween is the secular holiday? Christmas has far more religion attached to it, I think.
