Re: Whats under the bed?

What derby is this from? I don't recall seeing this design before.

Re: BearBQ

This shirt is great.

I guess there's a subtext about family, social networking, 6 degrees of separation, etc etc, but that's only if you really want to go 'art critic' on it. I don't really intend for anyone to read into the subtext, much less "require" it for understanding the shirt.

Basically it's just meant to be a stylish, whimsical, fun-looking shirt design.

Jasneko: No I do not, I just enjoy drawing bowties. I keep a list of every bowtie I draw, actually. I don't intend to draw that many, it just... happens.

Oh. Well, that's disappointing.

My favorite is the one with the mustache.

It's from the Mystery derby, and it's GMV again.

Re: Blue-Footed Booby Dance of Seduction

I was so mad when this was 4th last time. IT MUST PRINT. I MUST HAVE IT. Rarely is there a shirt I really want to wear from here, but this is definitely one of them.

This shirt leaps into the vacuum dont vote for it.

Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2

If this doesn't print... Which it looks like it probably wont I hope it prints elsewhere.

Re: Taj Mahal

Wow, I must've missed this during the pointillism derby--great job! Something so purely artistic will have a hard time winning, but you've GMV. Bonus points for using a lemon shirt.

My sentiments exactly. Thank you for not making me feel like I'm the only one who thinks this design has "SPIDERS! GET THEM OFF!." written all over it.

No offense to edgar, ofc. Not familiar with his work, but this specific design, is not my cup of tea at all & the fact that it's in the fog just boggles my mind.

Re: Origin of the Species

I don't know how I missed this last time. Hilarious, DF! GMV.

Re: Big Foot: Case Closed

I really like this one. The only thing that bothers me is the optical illusion quality of the hunter's face. First it's a smile on his face, look away, then it's a nose!

(Or am I the only one who sees both?)

can u imagine how awkward the kiss would be..?

Doesn't look awkward to me.

Re: Whats under the bed?

great shirt! i dont have a orange shirt yet! hope it prints

Re: Steamworks Operatica V.2

scaffolding, I really wanted this shirt. Drakxxx, if it doesn't print here, please let us know if it prints elsewhere. Thanks.

Edit: Well, now I know why I have been seeing scaffolding a lot lately...it's the new filter word for c r a p.

to be honest i'd prefer this as a print to a T-Shirt, but that doesn't change the fact that it's amazingly creative and a great design regardless, I'd buy it if it printed.

Thank you, everyone! I'd forgotten this was actually in the runnings. I appreciate everyone's support so much. <3

Thanks! I kinda like it.

Wow! It's been a long time since I've had a design in the fog! Thanks for the votes guys!

But then again, not much makes sense when you are speaking in old wootish!
Nee Nee Neeeee!

Yea... I don't really understand it. Want to explain?

Can't wait til i get this one, though my husband and i have spent over a $100 each on woot! shirts in the last five months i must have this one too. Think i'[ll get one for my two year old too!

Re: Air

If this shirt doesn't print, I may lose all the faith I have left in Woot. There are several good shirts in this derby, but this is head and shoulders above the rest. Please print. Please.

I hope it stays there! Thanks for making such a brilliant shirt.

Yes it's a halftone. A sneaky one.

Edgar really isn't my cup of tea, but that is my personal preference more so than a critical remark on his style. In my opinion his work would be suited really well for children's books as opposed to t-shirts that adults might wear. I could see children wearing his art much more easily than I can picture most adults.

Man, I had to hunt to find what I was referring to...
My internet access should be restricted when I am caffeinated.
Some one didn't understand why an entry wasn't doing better, I agreed wiht a 'here, here' secondly, The sub culture of woot is almost foreign, things here seem strange sometimes. Almost as bizarre as the Ents in LOTR. So instead of old entish, I said old wootish. And neee! is a monty python reference for obnoxious silliness in the guise of something greater...
It was serveral steps removed form the meaning, but caffeine screws with my sense of normalcy and interconnectivity. Six degrees of seperation between the meaning and the phrasing... Like obscure text speak.

Re: Gonna Make You Lunch

I don't get the appeal of this shirt. At all. Its one of those shirts that has you thinking "if I made this, it never would have gotten votes". But hey, more power to you if you can strike a chord with the voting audience.

Re: Hanauma Bay

This still strikes me as odd as a tattoo entry (but only in the sense that you don't see that style of tattoo in the northeast). But, it is a really sweet illustration that I would totally wear. Though, I would definitely prefer it on a nice, clean white shirt as opposed to the asphalt. Got my vote!

Re: Rain Dancer

It is an absolute shame this isn't doing better. I think this is one of the best designs in the whole competition. It is complex in its design, yet so simple in its message. Brilliant!

Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

First of all, I love this design and I cannot wait to buy it. But I'm curious: This phrase, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds," was made famous by Robert Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atomic Bomb. He said it following the first successful explosion of the bomb. The phrase is an interpretation of a line from an ancient Hindu text, where it was said by the God Vishnu. IS the design meant to be an interpretation of Vishnu? Or maybe an abstract rendering of Oppenheimer (very abstract)? The phrase was also quoted in the movie Hunt for Red October. Is that Sean Connery in the design? Regardless of the intent, I love the design. GMV.

Re: A Mysterious Conspiracy

I love this! So silly and cute. The design is very well thought out and I love the expressions on everyone's faces, especially the bunny in the front. This needs more votes, I would definitely buy this if it printed!

Re: Blue-Footed Booby Dance of Seduction

I loved this shirt when it came out during the Dance Derby and still Do! I, too, was bitter when it came in fourth.

As someone who has won infinitely more derbies than artulo (who only really got close to fogging with this one, as I recall), your sentiment is incredibly invalid. If you had made it, it almost ASSUREDLY would have gotten MORE votes, simply because your work has won, while his has proven to be incredibly unsuccessful. Well, here. The man has certainly had his share of prints elsewhere. But we all know that actually HURTS in woot voting.

Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

I just don't see what you all like?
i guess i can see this as a tekin guy or something but how is this a good shirt?

Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=34200]

Re: Call me, Ishmael

Happy to see this is in the fog!

Re: Air

Why oh why is this straying further from the fog? Woe is me. I do so love the sleepy, wittle cloud people. And white shirts. grrrrr rrrrr *looking for inflatable, over-sized mallet to knock squishy, pink brains into the people who no wanna vote for this* Please, oh please vote for the happy little clouds!
