Shirt.Woot

I am so happy this won, you are one of my favorite artist.

Nice this was my favorite shirt in the derby. It has nice 50's sci-fi feel.

This was certainly one of the more artistic derby entries this week. I'm really happy to see it place first.

It looks like a combination of colored-pencil art with a classic spot-printed poster. Very well done.

Hell yes! I'm so glad this printed! I continuously came back to this piece because of the layout as well as the artwork. You do amazing things, Robbie Lee! Congrats!

In for one! I love it

Not a bunny shirt tonight = I'm $10 poorer.

Despite its fearsome appearance, this giant robot is not evil; it brings color wherever it goes!

Reminds me a bit of a Flaming Lips album, "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots".

This is like a painting from medievel Japan meets the future.

I particularly love the blue the accents and draws your eyes to the the big bot.

Only draw back?

I didn't get first sucker status. (Personally it wouldn't be a sucker mark, but more like a badge of honor.)

Congrats on the print Robbie. I love it when your robots get their due.

congrats robbie!!! bought!

I was thinking the same thing. I love that album.

I'm happy and surprised this printed, with nary a bunny, kitty cat, or dancing banana in sight. Not too juiced about a creme shirt, but it adds to the awesome retro effect of the design.

Thanks for the votes and all the kind words, everyone! Also, a shout out- my best friend has wanted a shirt with "chemtrails" on it for a while, so this one's for Eric9.

BTW, It's tough to see in the posted design, but the text says "INC." It's the same on the car, the planes, and the robot.

Good call, it does feel like a Flaming Lips kind of robot. Just as long as it doesn't learn to feel...

What a happy surprise to see this in first!

Cool- I was playing the title track today for one of my classes.

Danger . . . danger . .

Not the kind of cyberpunk I was hoping to see from the derby, but this is still a damn cool design and I can't pass up such a good Rglee!

My first creme shirt!

Here's hoping for some cyberpunk chicks to print in the next couple days...

i like the design but the write up says it all.

Not to ruin it for everybody, but Thor is about to kill it.

Dear woot staff writer:

I know I've said it before, but I really do think that we were made for each other. We have similar intrests, namely; art, tee shirts, and making fun of people in a snarky and blatant fashion.

What are you doing Saturday night? Maybe we could go out to a hipster bar and snicker at the ironic facial hair...or something.

ps That car that you've been seeing alot outside your place and at work and the grocery store and the gym and the bar.... Totally not me.

Yay! My first woot in quite awhile. Never really got over the fact that "Magic Ride" didn't print in the psychedelia derby.

Anyone know if that shirt ever printed anywhere?

Interesting choice of word on the robot....

Congrats! An absolutely fantastic illustration.

yep.

Congrats on the print, Robbie!

so *that's* how Richard Branson plans on corralling us onto his new planet...

Well come on then... what does it say already!

Great art and a cool shirt. Not sure how it made the cyberpunk cut though. I'm really just thankful it's not a cute little animal.

I want my hover car, it's 2011 the world is about to end (Damn Mayan calendar) and I still don't have my hover car!
That Japanese guy on this shirt has his, where's mine!?

mind you, I'm not having to face a giant robot...guess I can live with that trade-off after-all.
Enjoy your hover car!

It's nice and all, but too bad it isn't Cyberpunk.
I know, I know...I read through all of the arguments in the forum, but it's all attempted justification. Most people know what Cyberpunk is, and this isn't it.

From memory (from the derby entry) it says "inc"

what does it say on the robot?

It says; "read post above"

It says

public company; corporation; KK; formula for an incorporated public company

had to buy this just to support GOOD shirts winning the derbies

ARGH! If only it wasn't CREME! Awesome design though.

That is to say, "Kabushikigaisha". And even if you don't know Japanese you can Google "translate inc to japanese" and you will get what bingkean so helpfully posted.

Judging by the vote counts, this derby theme got a great big ol' "I don't care" from a lot of artists and wooters, so maybe its lack of cyberpunkness actually worked in its favor. I agree with whoever said it had a good 50's SF feel - so not cyberpunk, but at least a cool shirt.
