Additionally, while the minimalist style adds to the parody I do feel like printing this would be a waste. As it turns out, I can probably make my own for free with an old t-shirt and a marker. Sorry, doesnt GMV.

I assume that the intent wasn't to actually get the shirt to print, but instead to illustrate a point... but I could be wrong...

This is pretty great! Nice work.

Re: The Suffixeses

This one made me laugh. Sounds like a real band, and I love the tour name for them. Cleverly done.

His name is Tim Clark he graduated from the same university as I did. His company name is DistINKtive Designs. He is a really talented guy.

Keep it up. Eventually you'll find one that strikes a cord with people... and if not, at least you're doing designs that you like, hoho.

Re: The Suffixeses

Wonderful! Well done and creative. Thanks for the laugh! lol

Clever slogan and nice design.

In the song 'Science Genius Girl' by Freezepop they start reciting pi during the bridge... I find it hilarious. It's not a punk song though, it's synthpop: )

you know what else is part of democracy

FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

[MOD: You were doing ok until that last sentence which I deleted]

That is right you have freedom of speech to complain. Just like you have the freedom to ignore that I said constructive criticism is one thing, complaining is another. So if you were being constructive why do you seem to be taking it so personal? Or did you want to just be argumentative? Let's use your example now

" by your logic, no one should complain about politicians because "if they could do better, why didnt they just run for office"

You are right, people should complain because that is going to solve the problem isn't it? Do you think opposing politicians complain... or do something about it and also run for office? Complaining about the problem doesn't solve anything. Actions speak louder than words. Yes you have freedom of speech, doesn't mean you know how to use it in the right and/or positive way.

And for the record, I'm not complaining, I"m just calling them out and exposing them for what they are. At the end of the day, if this shirt wins... good for the designer, if it doesn't, good for the designer's that did win. Majority wins. I'm fine either way, yet the complainers will be ready for the next derby to complain some more. Get your canned comments ready!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=32839]

Does the fact that this hasn't been rejected yet mean that this might actually not be rejected?

I mean minus the inside joke, it does actually fit the theme surprisingly well. And it'll still be funny to people who don't get the joke.

Re: Interplanetary Bunnies

Thank god this is out of the fog right now.

Re: now appearing in Seattle, Portland, NY, San Fran..

I live about 10 minutes away from where a lot of these hippies are. Not sure if I'd actually wear it around my neighbourhood yet, but I like the shirt.

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=32839]

Wait... so you're admitting that you were pandering before? Or you're admitting that you're pandering now? Or both?

Re: now appearing in Seattle, Portland, NY, San Fran..

I live in Portland, and look forward to offending filthy hippies in this shirt. +1 from me, this is awesome.

Re: The Sex Drugs

Re: Galactic Riffed

Totally awesome!

Re: The Suffixeses

Happy Endings! So clever!

re: interplanetary bunnies

When a Pokemon is spent it gets the X's over its eyes.

And this image is dead on Pikachu, especially the dead one with the X'd eyes.

Why hasn't Woot rejected this design?

first and foremost, apologies to the mod, i will reel it in a bit

the reason i take it personally is that if no one points out your flawed logic, some will not know better to disregard your arguement as being built on flawed logic.

now, you say complaining about the problem doesnt solve anything in regards to politics. but you are wrong. complaining draws attention to the problem and attention turns to action. to use an idiom "the squeaky wheel gets the oil". take for example the current fight in this country for marraige equality. without protesting, several states (though notably not california) have overturned their laws and allows marraige for everyone, regardless of discrimination.

and what is protest if not organized complaining? are you saying that the people in iran right now are accomplishing nothing and that those people are dying in the streets for nothing?

i will grant you that last statement could be seen as fallacious appeal to emotion, but take the emotion out of it. they have brought the worlds attention to the injustices in their country and we will see in the coming weeks what the result of that will be. it all started from complaining. which is, according to our constitution, our god given right.

you are tired of complaining. that is your real issue, is it not? you feel we should stop complaining because you personally or a few people here dont want to read it. but i, as a chronic complainer, do want to hear it. are your wishes more righteous than mine, or the people here who complain, as youve labeled them?

man, sometimes tulips just piss you off...

going with the majority is a very dangerous sentiment. dissent refines and shapes the status quo. dissent changes things, not complacency. nothing changes if everyone goes with the flow

I hope you get the votes. I totally want one.

Thank you! I appreciate it! The main part of my business is doing music promotion graphics for shirts, cd's and posters. So I am glad that you think that it looks like a tour shirt.

im not deadfrog, i cant answer for him, but the answer could be neither. it may be that he is mocking the accusations leveled at him through the last design. or maybe he is diffusing those accusations by turning them on its head, taking a design that was accused of pandering and making it into a statement of popular music.

Re: The Suffixeses

Bigger

re: the space crabs

i ended up getting 3 of the tornado one (one to rock, one to stock, one for my little bro), and i have a feeling i will be getting a couple space crabs if you win. great design. good luck!

Re: The Pretensions

I really love this. I'd definitely buy. It's a great idea.

Re: Galactic Riffed

This shirt is awesome, I definitely saw the guitar first. And didnt realize the spaceship until I read the comments hoho. Sorry.

If this prints, I really hope that font does out more clearly though. Maybe it's just my monitor.

PS - lol @ your comment about describing what a guitar is. xD

Re: Werewolves Can't Dance

What about Teen Wolf?!

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=32839]

i gotta be honest, im getting irritated with all this Panda Bear apcray. its cute and cuddly . . . . and im sick of it. millions WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD wearing this. why does everyone "have to own this"? i mean, christ, what have you done with all your other panda bear shirts?

Re: Green Dream Machine

I like this one. Very striking.

DEATH TO DAISIES!

I wish this was a real grind band. (Kind of wish the band name was more visible on this design)

heh, true that!

Good thing it takes only a fraction of "millions" (about 700-1000 usually) to get a shirt to print.

I don't want it either, but I can see why 1/300th of the US population might...

Re: Steampunk Ninjas

Sweet name. What would this band sound like (silence, silence, silence, silence...Robo-Shinobi crescendo to brutal shredding guitar solo causing your head to explode!)?

Re: Iron and Wine? No, Bread and Wine!

This is probably the greatest thing ever.

jasneko wrote:Hey, so glad the circle is growing on you! So much that you have become a bit intense about getting this shirt!:D
heh I guess if I stare at the eyes, they do starting getting a bit freaky looking!

Do you think you could post a larger version of this design? I want to print it and frame it and hang it on my wall!

mikenytola wrote:Well then they should get busy making something original and creative then, shouldn't they? Or... don't buy the shirts that win! Ah yes, freedom of choice. Part of that whole democracy bit.

By this logic, no one is allowed to have an opinion (positive or negative, can't pick and choose here) on any art form unless they are artists of that specific form.

I don't like complaining at all, personally, but really, what's the harm in conflicting opinions? Why try to shut people up?

Re: Botanical Beard

I will not be buying this shirt, or any shirt in this derby because I hate the theme. That being said, please please please submit more often! Your style is very appealing and unique.

best fake band ever...
