Please leave a comment if you have and idea of how it could be better/like it.

Thanks!

Clever idea. The mustard stream is hard to see on the shirt color you picked. I like the sketchy style. Something about the BBQ doesn't work for me though. Maybe because it's in the distance the lines could have been a little smaller to help show the depth compared to the escaping weenie.

God aweful!

Are you talking about my entry?

You submitted so late though (foolish!). Promise you'll do something with this design in 60 days and let me know when you do?

I know, I know! Tuesday submissions aren't usually winners...but I didn't finish this until this morning. I will most certainly refine this and put it up elsewhere! Though I'm not sure where...

Hehehee...I guess they're so elusive that I didn't even notice when one flew into my drawing.

Re: King me!

This is so adorable. I love the innocent pig.

This is the first one I've seen in a derby in a long time that I've wanted.

So aren't the history lessons a little over-the-top? Yes, It's a Korean/Japanese/Chinese/Asian style dragon. Yes, it's Japanese Kanji on the apron. While we're at it, lets make that a German Bratwurst just for the sake of it... And he's referencing Mongolia, and he's selling to primarily Americans!!!111oneoneone
Now his shirt is somewhat multicultural. wow.

Thank you for trying to teach the world a lesson based on a witty shirt title and design, but really. I just want to wear the damn thing.

baking epic post right there.
i noticed the oddities and DID NOT CARE.
nor will i care when my kid wears this to school where there are alot of kids that can READ it. they will enjoy his epic sausage anyway.

Re: weenie time!

this is great

Re: No Propane!!!

Somewhere, Hank Hill is shaking his fist.

Me likey!

Re: Let's All Go to the BBQ

this one should be on top of the charts!!!

Is there a link somewhere that is like, some kind of massive list of everything that's okay and everything that's not-so-okay to do in the derby? And where can I get a shirt template on which to put any design I might decide to create?

Re: S'moregyle

I'm always a fan of patterns more than words or silly cartoon punchlines. While argyle is out of style, s'mores never are. I would love to wear this to the beach this summer. Maybe in a lighter brown, though (hint hint).

Re: Cthulhu BBQ

I think this is the reason why we have solar and lunar eclipses.... and global warming.

Very cute. I like the eyes poking through the shirt in the background.
The deer's being all dainty as she pours gas on the wood, lol.
Is that graph/checkered pattern in the animals and on the log on purpose?

Re: The Grillmaster

Have no fear the Grillmaster is here! Hopefully it isnt too late to get some votes. my first design got rejected so heres a new one. Hope you like it

Re: Cook Until Evil

Damn, I thought this one was great.

suse wrote:It looks like you have nothing nice to say about *any* of the entries! Seriously!

I am all for mean and critical posts; what I have a problem with is that he often does not say anything of substance that can be debated. Also, I notice he is simply repeating the same criticisms he has posted previous weeks towards the same artist, and still employing his hit-and-run/sniping tactic and ignoring responses.

Sure, he said he did not get the Dr. Seuss reference, but that was just a launching point for his predictable run-of-the-mill attack: the artist wins due to personality, not due to talent, and the design embrangles because I say so. Finally, going back to him not getting the Dr. Seuss reference, his ignorance of popular/classic children's literature is hardly a point against the artist.

Re: Some BBQ

perversely hilarious and well executed, get back into the fog please.

Re: Man, The Other White Meat

This is seriously awesome...

I would buy several of these...

Re: Ms Webber

yesyesyes!
i really like this
Hope it gets past the late entry and up there in the fog

Re: Man, The Other White Meat

hahaha this is awesome. i would never buy a white shirt, personal preference, but this would make a great tattoo

Re: Hunting the Mythical Beast

Lol, sigh, buffalo wings. I couldn't figure it out. I think the hunter threw me off. I'd replace him with something more food oriented. But, maybe I'm the only slow one. Great design and idea in any case.

jr4284 wrote:Thought more about it... it's more that there's no situation to wear this shirt. If I'm wearing a BBQ themed shirt, I'd wear it to a BBQ. If I wore this, the reaction that I'd get is, "huh?"

see, that's your problem right there. You have to have a 'situation' to wear the shirt. Just wear the shirt! Anytime! Ridiculous. It's doesn't matter when you wear a shirt (any shirt, not just this one), where you wear the shirt, you just wear it cause you like it. If you have to have a situation to wear a shirt, do you just wear it once then toss it or something?


I LOVE this shirt, got it right away. It's hilarious. My friends will really love it. They always want to see what my shirts say. I can't believe this fell out of the fog. This is the only shirt I want in that's in the top 10 or so.

Re: Some BBQ

ok.. it's wednesday and looks like I'm not catching you. so you've got my vote. love the style and concept. this deserves a print.

tgentry wrote:. I buy illustration shirts all the time, but I also buy good graphic tees like Kdubb's radio design. A good shirt is a good shirt. I don't really understand why some people harp on illustrations on shirts. As long as they are easy to understand or provide some sort of aesthetic quality that people like, what's the problem?

Wow, thanks for the mention TGentry! I'm quite flattered that you liked my shirt. While I certainly side heavily on the "graphic" side in terms of shirt preference, I also have a great appreciation for the illustration skills of so many on this site (skills that I don't share), and I would certainly wear an illustration shirt if its the right one. I believe there is a place for each.

Re: Overindulgence

How are those grills balancing on only two wheels??? Funny shirt, very creative!

Re: King of the Grill

It is a sad day that this is not in the fog.

Skirochester, you got any plans to put this somewhere else or print it through someone?

Re: Some BBQ

Close race for 3rd and 4th right now, as over the last 15 minutes I've seen this and Mongolian in the fog, this and Green Eggs, and Green Eggs and Mongolian.

SuperSprite, I'm indebted to you and your info-mational postings -- my scrollbar now measures a piddling 12 pixels. Another 8 odd pixels should get my scrollbar into that peasoupy arena of woot excellence. Well done to all those who contributed, to what I feel, is almost a personal benchmark occasion..:P

Re: Some BBQ

Get back into the fog NOW!!!

please i really need this shirt. i loved this book and i have a really twisted and not very PC sense of humor.

ckf

Re: Only the bottom ones know what's coming.

Cute shirt. I don't see the Professor Zucchini thing though. GMV anyway.

Re: Tomato's Nightmare

This shirt is twisted but cool.

Re: Let's All Go To The Cookout

I got the reference right away ... like it.

Re: Extra Crispy

I like the design. The smoke looks kind of like a mini tornado though.

Zing! Dekon = +1

Also, I want to thank you for opening my eyes to the wonder and horror that is the Great Old Ones :-). I feel smarter, thanks to Dekon and Wikipedia.

Re: A Snow White Barbeque

Snow white's dress certainly got a lot shorter, and her chest... *cough* err.. man things have changed since I last watched Snow White. :p

Great design!

Re: Hackers BBQ

Look at that successful one point perspective...

Re: It's just a little airborne! It's still good!

best shirt ever. PLEASE, by a miracle, make the top 3
