Shirt.Woot

I like the detail on the paper and the look on his face.

That's only kinda depressing.

Any connection to This?

Nice to see a flightless bird other than a penguin around here ...

Yes, I'm aware of Lament of the Kiwi, but penguins definitely outnumber.

My husband had a dream about Kiwi's last night...Premonition? Maybe so!

And now.. three kiwi shirts.

Oh, the grass is always greener... For birds, is the expression "The sky is always bluer?"

There's also this one...

Little Dreams

But I am ALL for more kiwi birds!!

Video if you want to be re-depressed.

His eyes look sleepy. It's late — maybe it's my eyes that are sleepy.

When we went to New Zealand a couple of years ago, we searched for many nights in the forest for the opportunity to see a Kiwi. We only heard them shaking in the leaves. This shirt is so cute, reminds of the nights in New Zealand. They're so difficult to find, most New Zealanders haven't even see one for themselves.

God...that video makes me tear up every time I watch it. Poor kiwis with their vestigial wing nubs.

I have the lament of the kiwi shirt & I am really considering this one...

<---- notice my name. lol

I feel that there is a subliminal message going on. I was hoping for Walmazan's bacon themed tee and instead I get kiwi.

I guess woot is trying to tell me to eat healthier.

This shirt is so sad but makes me so happy for some reason. I can't wait for mine to get here!

I'm having trouble figuring out what the kiwi is drawing...

I dare anyone to take a good long look at that kiwi and then honestly say that clipping a bird's wings isn't cruel.

The emotion and longing are superbly shown; very well done.

Was just thinking the same thing. It always made me feel sad.

Maybe it figures if it can finally fly, it will no longer be mistaken for a fruit...

I've been trying to get my hands on the Lament of the Kiwi shirt since I discovered woot! I'd trade just about all my teetrade woots for that one. In case anyone is looking to get rid of one...

And if anyone wants to see....

It makes you so happy because it's Dijay's first print!

And BTW, I still haven't figured out whether there are kiwis in Spain or not.

I'll be wearing this T with pride as I am a Kiwi (New Zealander) who wishes to fly too. Deep on so many levels.

Yea boi! (Very Kiwi saying atm.)

Yay, my first print in Shirt.Woot!!! A million thanks all for your support :D

Yay! Congrats dijay! I hope it is the first print of many!

Like the shirt... Maybe its my morning squint, but I can't quite make out what the Kiwi's drawing is supposed to be. Can someone help me out?

Congrats dijay! great first print!

Being married to a New Zealander...this shirt was a MUST! Especially since I'm the only one in the family to have ever spotted a kiwi bird while driving from Auckland to Helensville. I bought 3 so I have some to send to Aotearoa as gifts.

Congrats, Dijay! This is an adorable design!

It's a lovely shirt. I only wish I had a job where tee-shirts were part of the dress code. As it is, my dresser is stuffed with Woot! shirts.

Congrats to the artist. You captured that longing for something unattainable feeling perfectly!

Congrats DiJay!
Well deserved print.

Is this shirt 100% cotton or a blend?

The drawing looks like s glider or plane to me

It's an airplane-Wright?

Only my second Shirt.woot. This little guy really speaks to me. All those broken New Year's resolutions. Sob.

All kiwis probably dream of flying-but it's nice to see at least one trying to do something about it! This shirt can be worn by all dreamers.

100% cotton, made in the USA.

I am so glad this one printed. It was the only one that truly represented motivation to me. I hope to see more of your work in the future get printed!
