Did I read that this is your first ever entry?

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Thanks Spiritgreen!

I wish this was my first entry! Hahah. I've been doing these derbies since summer last year, but I somewhat stopped when grad school started in the fall. This is my 3rd entry this year. Last week's was of a bear in his airplane mobile suit!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Thanks Pbutta, Walmazan, Jasneko, Amesj, Darel, and Lucky for the cool compliments! I luves it.

You didn't say anything nice Ehalcyon, so no 'thank you' for you. Hahah. I joke! Thanks for stopping by.

Re: bug off you're not my typo

I would totally wear this!

Thank you, this is my first entry to a derby. Scary isn't it? haha

Not sure if you should wash your hands? Ask Mr. Soapy! You Should!!

Re: Tweets are for Birds

I'm pretty much indifferent to Twittering, but this one's an awesomely effective design! Way to go Jasneko!

I somewaht agree with dumping the box, but the rest of the graphics are superb and the colors are wonderful!

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Re: Every Legend has a begining...

AAaaaahhhhhh!!!! Voltron as lolcats!! I wwwaaannttttttt!!!1

I love this, but I think it would be better without the text.

In fact, I don't think I would wear it with the text.

Re: COFFEE TIME

Oooohh, very purty! hahah

Re: COFFEE TIME

Wow. I'm really loving your designs in this derby. I especially like this design. Personally I just wish it was on a different color than creme, because for some reason creme doesn't look good on me.

Re: ISLA BONITA

Awesome design. Muy bonita.

Darn it, of course it was. I loved that design - sorry, just getting my names mixed up.

I couldn't understand how this was possibly your first entry anyhow, it's too good for that. ^____^

It gets a vote from me again this week.

If they do that again, without a doubt, I'm in.

Re: The Vintage Truth

You just like to make fun of the less fortunate don't you? First, the dirty hippies. And now, the poor folks. Who's next on your list? Sick orphan kids? Or senile old men? What is wrong with you!?!? Hahahah, I joke!

Re: Breakfast Bomb

That's really kind of you, imsochady.

I get your point about the background. I went with cream because I wanted the shirt itself to feel like it could have been printed way back with fifties technology as a promotional item. Having the content floatin' on a red shirt could look cool too, but it would modernize it a bit too much.

At least that's what I was thinking at the time. ^_^

Re: Dyn-o-mite!

when i say a sad design, i mean emotionally sad. So this design is too sad for me to wear. He's gonna blow up =[

Sweeeet! Really appreciate it! Thanks!

Re: Breakfast Bomb

The design is hilarious, and the -1954- part, though small, really helps the overall design. I also agree though, that the squareness of the box is a bit too much. I wouldn't suggest having some dumped out, because then the box is sideways (not as readable). maybe with a tray saying "part of this balanced breakfast" with a glass of OJ and some toast or something. Just a thought.

Re: The House of Madness

Draxxx . . . words cannot describe it. Colorful, poppin', vintage, yet very dark (in the movie, scary, eyes-glued-to-the-TV in suspense feel). Well done. GMV fo-sho.

love this shirt i want one, even more i want to get one for my best friend he can solve those cubes in 2 min

Re: Vote Abe in 1860

That Abe Lincoln. He’s got some ideas, my friend. I think he’s going somewhere. What you’ve got here is a campaign shirt from Honest Abe’s 1860 campaign, complete with his slogan targeting those valuable, impressionable youths. They like to be involved in the democratic process, you know. Surely, they’re the type who would appreciate his quiet, controlled demeanor, methodical planning, and tall hat. The hat really speaks to their generation.

(So I just noticed that there's a similar design to mine here, posted just a little earlier. I can assure you, there's no plagiarism going on, just similar ideas. Thanks!)

Re: Tweets are for Birds

This is miles above your normal submissions.

vertigosia wrote:Wow, I wasn't expecting to like any shirts, but this one made me laugh aloud.

Same here. I truly LOL'd after seeing this fantastic design. I really hope this wins!

Sachmoe64 wrote:I thought it was meant to be "back to the future"

You are right, it is a BTTF reference.

imsochady wrote:You didn't say anything nice Ehalcyon, so no 'thank you' for you. Hahah. I joke! Thanks for stopping by.

Something nice: if it wins, I will purchase it for a friend who loves unicorns.

Actually, that probably means I should vote for it. Voted.

Re: ISLA BONITA

This is one of my favorites this week... not sure if the use of the photo is allowed... but if so, great job! I'd wear this.

dredgedarko wrote:God I want some Dr. Pepper!!! But I don't think that was the message... lol Nice work!

Thanks! Dr Pepper is my favourite, and I couldn't resist when this idea popped into my head.

Thanks! This shirt has, I think, outperformed all my other previous shirts (granted there were maybe five) combined.

Just for the sake of reference, 1989 was the release date for the album - that's the significance. Dunno if I'd said that earlier or not.
