The shirt design is fuzzy, pixel wise.

This makes me wish I had a cooler tag / username / w/e... Having a buckle with GENERIC on it... not so great.

Re: Audio Mythos

This is a must-win.

Dangit, I wanted to point this out! (I managed to spot both...)

Hell yeah! Unfortunately none of these sophisticated English robot shirts ever seem to print. What is wrong with people!?

Nerdy, yet surprisingly hip...

It's not really the same. Cthulhu is more along the lines of Dracula and/or vampires, mummies (of which there is one in the fog), and other classic literary concepts.

Are you kidding? People would think you were making a statement on society. They'd be all "ooh, that guy is soooo ironic".

He looks so pleased, which makes me feel pleased.

Re: The Audiophile

Terrific job, Kevlar! I want one!

Reminds me of a story my Grandma used to tell.

Re: born from a boombox

This is wonderful

Re: The Days of Vinyl

ooo, pretty!

Re: two turntables and a gramophone

I get absolutely lost in this design.

And I mean that in a very very good way

Thanks for looking!

Re: Young Love Mix (V2)

The kids and bicycle are taken from clipart. I've even seen this as a vinyl wall-decal before.

Re: Audio Mythos

Wow. Thank GOD these things are obsolete !

Re: attic party!

this is really cute and fun idea!

Re: attic party!

I love it!

Re: The Audiophile

It's nice to know that robots can enjoy lo-fi like the rest of us.

Re: The New One's Out!

It's that newest greatest thing you wanted! Way better than the old one...

Thanks for the support everyone!

I love the hissing popping background noise!

When doing the line work for this, I had The Ballad of the Sneak playing for audio inspiration

Those little plastic inserts! The memories this brings back!

Yeah it is a dover illustration in combination with my part.

And do you have permission to use said illustration that isn't yours?

Re: Jumping Tape

Kind of a Sirius GPP reason to reject an otherwise nice design.

Re: UNWOUND

Clean, simple, and works very well on a shirt -- +1 sir

Re: Sport Walker

Nice! This would make a good gym shirt to go with my "race for a cure for something" woot shirt. GMV.

Re: Cassette swing set ride

I'm not wild about the placement but the design is very nice.

Re: The Comeback

Technically, these are both retro since ipods are now a far cry from their former, more logical, form factor

Awww thanks. I added both the treble and bass clefs into the image late in the coloring. Originally they weren't there but I thought it'd be neat to include them.

Re: Music Never Dies

An excellent concept for this derby! I will make sure I snag this one if it wins, (which I hope it does!)

An obvious +1

Re: You spin me right round

Thanks everyone!

Howdy Earlysong!

Glad you like it Kyle! It's practically impossible to compete with ramyb though, kudos to him. I wish I had half of the loyal fanbase that he has.

Re: Catchy Tune

The art is great. I wonder if the placement could be improved though? Judging by the given example, I think maybe having the design a bit smaller might improve it? Is it even in the printable margins?

Re: Music Never Dies

Hey! Love the melting vinyl and plastic, this one hot design. ^__^

Re: Cooler than You

Here is my critique. Maybe something other than a cutesy penguin (or insert random overdone animal) would have made this worthwile. When I saw the thumbnail, I said to myself "no", then clicked the image, and realized, yes, it was what I thought it was... this can't get my vote obviously.
I do like the headphones, I think they look great, the rest of the drawing leaves much to be desired.
Dude, I know you have talent, I've can see it in most of your stuff. Why not try and use it, instead of thumbing your nose at your critics?
