Shirt.Woot

I've seen that red guy before. He's always seems to be in bad situations.

Great shirt, glad this one got printed.

Constructive criticism is alright, but some people are starting to get downright insulting. You would be "embarrassed to wear this shirt in public"? Even if I don't like a shirt, I don't come here and slam it in the comments.

The person who made this shirt is a part of the Woot community, likely one who has been here for a long time like most of the rest of us. Most of the people who submit to the derby are not professional artists, otherwise they would just submit their shirts in the regular way to Woot and get paid more for it.

I believe that while showing your opinion is fine, nobody should come here to slam the shirt just because it is not their taste. Taste in everything is subjective, so one cannot say that something sucks as an absolute.

I'm basically saying that it's not nice to come here and hurt someones feelings because the shirt is not your cup of tea. The artist is one of us and comes here to read these comments, so play nice!

I just don't think I want a shirt that looks like I could make it myself in MS Paint.

Also, I'm starting to worry about bunny shirt, I hope it comes tomorrow! On the last derby my fave didn't make it but was in the fog, so I hope it doesn't happen again this week!

Acetone

when applied to screen printing, will take awhile (because you need to remove all traces of dye/ink), but it can be done

Awww yeah, Im so happy this printed!!! Congrats art101!

I'm not so sure that's going to work. White print on black is plastisol, not ink.

Blacking it out with a sharpie is probably easier.

Sharpies are the answer to everything. Except possibly outrunning zombies.

i like the shirt. i bought it for, and sent it to my brother. he runs marathons and it fits him. he can be our zombie bait when the zombie apocalypse comes!!! he also likes the zombie genre.

i'll get him "acquired taste" in a couple of weeks and tell him that he couldn't run fast enough... and now wants a pb&j. HA!!

Congratz! I was so happy to see this print

Congrats on the print!

May have to buy this and save it for next year's Run For Your Lives.

Just use the sharpie to draw a fake tunnel. The zombies will run into the wall...

Meep Meep!

Now that's funny!

I feel like the bait should have been... of the brown color. Somehow it seems like it's always the black guy to get killed first or used as bait.

Reminds me of the opening to 28 Weeks Later. (Kind of.)

My son loves a Zombie...had to get this shirt. He will crack up and love wearing it. Thanks!

Nah, in zombie movies it's always the fat kid who gets taken down first...

That's what he gets for killing a boomer with a melee weapon...

agreed that i could be something else, however i have removed white screen print of blue nylon before using acetone

Well that's the risk you take when you choose to wear a red shirt. Tsk tsk, if we are unable to learn even the basic survival skills from Star Trek, I fear that there is no hope for my species.

Sleepy Hollow?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I like both shirts anyway. Anybody know who designed "Some Motivation Required"? It doesn't say on the shirt page.

jnam22 wrote:Sleepy Hollow?

runforyourlives.com I was there.

This shirt is not even well done. I don't understand how it printed, or all the praise it's getting. No offense to the artist, but this is garbage.

It would really help if the naysayers could link to a picture so we could see if it really is THAT bad.
Or if anyone could post a picture of the thing really...
Thanks folks.

To the naysayers ... you do have other choices too, y'know.

Anyone else feel this shirt was perfect for the last episode of the Walking Dead? Anyone?

Death imitates art! (or so they say anyway....)

How does saying no offense to the artist prevent the artist from being offended when you insult their shirt?

parrotsramazing wrote:How does saying no offense to the artist prevent the artist from being offended when you insult their shirt?

I was going to the say the same thing! I can't stand when people say "no offense, but..." because it is ALWAYS followed by something that is offensive. Just like "being real"...prior statement that you are a jerk does not suddenly mitigate the absolute douchbaggery of your following statement.


It's not the greatest accomplishment in art, but it's clever and funny. Not everyone likes to wear cutesy detailed art on their shirts, just like not everyone wants text on their shirts. I'm thinking of getting this one for my bf for this very reason.

Also, I agree about it reminding me of "Some motivation"...which I own. Text does not necessarily destroy a design...unless you REALLY hate reading. o.0

Not true! The zombies could trip and fall when they step on them!

What happens to shirts once they are out of the reckoning? Does woot purchase the rights to the shirts?

Poor Otis haha

this is my favorite shirt on here. Reminds me of the walking dead
