Re: Line Dried SHIRT

You're lucky that the derby was the perfect theme for this! Maybe this design inspired them to make the derby theme, you never know...

plus... i am going for the guinness record on consecutive plank-infused derby themes... (gotta build my design 'chops', somehow...)

Aw shucks Goats are cute!! At a festival there was this this 'goat race' (which was basically a bunch of cute goats running all over the place while their owners tried to coax them to cross the finish line), but afterwards got to pet them and talk to their owners and they seemed like some very sweet animals.

Ewww.

You went there! NooOoo!

Re: this chore socks

A design I monkeyed with.

Nekkochan wrote:Given that cats are traditionally the ones afraid of the vacuum cleaner, I'm confused as to why we now have two shirts (that I've seen) showing cats chasing dogs with the vacuum. I would think it would be the other way around. Where's the sneaky dog preparing to give the snotty cat a big surprise?

Not that this isn't cute, I'm just wondering.

my dog runs as fast as she can away from the vacuum. my cat doesn't give two The Day the Ponies Come Back (2000).

Looks like a kitchen dish towel to me, they aren't all white. I think it's totally appropriate.

Re: Dust Bunny Hate Clean

Looks a little too similar to this:

I hope it doesn't get rejected.

Re: wiiiiii Sweeping

sweeping for the lazy...
this is a play off the old "guy in a chair" memorex ad campaign and a motion controlled video game controller...

it does have a video game reference, but i felt it was within the leniency provided by tgentry in the derby discussion... guess we'll see...

comments of all stripes, always welcome...

One of my first designs. Let me know if you like it. I put a lot of detail into it and I am really happy with the result. Please Vote :P

I feel bad for green creatures who have to live this reality every day of their lives. :D

Re: I'm just doing my job

Hahaha internet memes. Nice Job

Re: Repetitive task

I must say this is probably my favorite in the derby. Nice Job. GMV

Re: Haunted Housework

I always like your designs Spiritgreen. GMV

-course that means I'm mixing my 60's and 50's, yikes.

Please don't get me wrong.

That's what I like about it, it reminds me those vintage propaganda americana!

Re: Overgrown Dust Bunny

I have quite a few of your shirts Patrick. I really like your style

Re: Chores Goddess

I apologize, I shouldn't have used the word "hate", that was not really the feeling I was trying to express. It's just that the halftones are too open for my taste.

Re: wiiiii sweeping

I doubt that counts as a video game reference. I guess we will see. Nice design though. GMV

Re: Taking out the trash

I LOL'ed with this design

Re: Haunted Housework

cute!

Voted anyway.

Thanks for noticing that. I am very happy it came out the way I wanted. I like your design too, very clever!

Re: Leaves aren't always the best landing zone...

It's been years since I last submitted, this wasn't the best idea ever but felt good to get back into the drawing seat. Need to refresh my photoshop skills, because I am absolutely rusty :P

Re: Raking

sucker for these colors; very nice sweep

Re: how a rube feeds his cat

perfect

Re: Laundry Day

Amazing what two eyes can do for an expression. Nice work

crazydoglady wrote:And finally, how did a design so far off the theme move so fast up the ranks? I used to think the implied accusations were just sour grapes, but now I have to wonder...

How is this off theme? I know that some people, mainly people that live in the city, only consider indoor chores to be household chores. As someone that grew up on a farm, I can tell you that household chores encompass a lot more than that, including but not limited to mowing the lawn, feeding the animals, cleaning the animals, raking the yard, trimming the hedges, weeding the garden, etc.

As far as conspiracy theories go, if Ramyb was just artificially voting for his own designs, then they would not sell as well as other designs. If you go and check the numbers you will see that Ramyb's shirts regularly sell out and stay in the reckoning for extended periods of time.

Re: Dust Bunny Hate Clean

I need a protest housework shirt. And this should be it.

Re: Mowing with Style v.2

Um, bit confused by this rejection.

Re: Nature Abhors a Vacuum

Oh my goodness, please re-fog immediately. This has got to be one of the most memorable designs I have ever seen.

Re: Steam Powered Cleaning since 1890

Fantastic!

She seems a little incomplete without legs. Add those in and you'd have yourself a solid entry!

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

5 Colors and a whole lot later than I wanted it to be. Changed directions late this afternoon while sketching and ended up here. Hope you all like it!

Re: Leaves aren't always the best landing zone...

Even if it doesn't print, I just like how the leaves aren't all monochromatic.

Re: Interlude

I've taken to viewing the shirts by either random or submission date in order to avoid looking at a shirt just because it's popular. This was one of the designed I liked a lot without even knowing it was a ramyb and I really like it. Good job!

Re: What Could Go Wrong?

I love the inking. Great job!
