Shirt.Woot

I like the way the notes are done with white in such a way that makes it look especially vibrant. However, I have room for only one raven in my woot heart, simply that and nothing more.

This is great!

Gorgeous, love it.

I hope the shirt isn't too dark. I always thought my (first-run, maybe it changed?) Nevermore shirt had that problem -- making it difficult to read/see the black print. Looks okay on my screen at least.

Kinda creepy but... Ouu! Look! Shiny things!

Who says crows can't carry a tune?

Insta-buy. I love birds, especially corvids, and this one is just a very intriguing image. Great stuff!

Also, Russell Crowe was originally a recording artist, but after receiving threats of "Do you want to end up like Adam Duritz?" he decided to become an actor. Sheryl Crow, on the other hand, called the bluff of the dark avian forces behind the scenes, refusing to abandon her trade. After some internal debate, they decided to let her continue her career because they were confident she'd never repeat the success of "Tuesday Night Music Club" anyway. They were right.

True story.

Hmm. I don't get it. Am I missing some deep hidden meaning, or is it just a raven w/ music notes.

Birds are the original musicians. Do they get any respect? Nevermore.

Unholy carp, this is awesome. I love darker images, plus anything that has to do with music, and I like the slight (don't know the correct word for it) smearing/dirty effect of the whole image.

Buying 3.

I took a lot of english and arts classes so I'm pretty good at BS'ing meanings that sound semi-plausible.
Also, I'm three shirts in now, it's too late for me to turn back, you'll be seeing these every day whether or not i understand the concept behind the shirt. If you don't like it well then here you go.

I honestly think it's a crow so I'd go with the second one, but the raven I can definitely relate to. Music is my biggest passion so the fact that I can't sing really hits home with this shirt. It's too bad it's printed on anvil otherwise I'd be in for 2, one now and one when it is about to get reckoned.

Please print this as a poster I'd buy that :3

Also unrelated, but in case you never heard raven noises, they're pretty awesome

Obviously I am fond of ravens myself.
This is BEAUTIFUL! So shiny!
I must have it.

I have to buy this. For me it represents my love of music, and my ability to take the shiny beauty of the notes and reproduce them as an ungainly caw.

This is really a beautiful print. I would love this painted on canvas & hung on my wall with a really nice frame. I love the way the bird is painted with some large brushtrokes & then some areas smeared off. It's an awesome effect.
Congrats to the artist for a really nice job.

Now that I've taken more time to look at this it looks like it was painted on glass & then a razor blade was used to scrape off some of the paint

I think this is my new favorite t-shirt.

Did I mention that I LOVE THIS PRINT!!

Nuff said.

Haha, same here. Love this design, bought one immediately. Stop taking all my money, Woot!

Quite a lovely songbird.

Happy to 'peck' one up; sold!

Dark and light playing off each other so nicely here, great work Tobe.

The juxtaposition of the charcoal-drawn bird with the glowing musical notes reminds me of the pre-Renaissance gold halos that distinguished deity from mortals.

Wonderful contrast in this design. Really beautiful! Congrats, Tobe!

I love how the notes seem to actually glow. Beautiful artwork.

Hi guys! Thanks so much for all that love :{D Thanks CowboyDann for all the meanings that you game for my design, you're right. It's about persistence, a raven that cannot sing but he keeps trying and trying. ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪

Looks more like blackbird than a crow to me, but I like birds either way so I'm sold.

Wooters do seem to love them black birds. A nice new spin on things, though.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

Awesome! I was thinking about it, as I fell asleep, you probably could have sold this shirt as a Tom Waits(nsfw language) shirt and it would have fit his style perfectly. I bet he'd love the idea, as he destroys music himself.

Simply gorgeous. And as a woman with a raven tattoo, and a (currently defunct) music publishing company called The Raven and the Seagull Music, this was a no-brainer. My second woot shirt ever and so wonderful!

N41

First w-shirt purchase in a while, but no hesitation on this one, except, um, those new-brand shirts

Still wearing out my 1st run Nevermore; about time for a replacement to keep it in the reck

. . . was it ever offered on a hoodie or other special print?

When is a raven like a songbook?

< confused >
On this tee-shirt?

I think that death metal can totally relate to this design. A raven shredding notes? Hells yeah.

*roars*

Bought. Absolutely beautiful design!

I just hope the blank this is printed on is not as dark as the one 'Free your heart' comes on, because the the black fades into the shirt color on that one which is ok on that design because it's still pretty, but if the shirt is too dark on this one it could turn into a disaster. I'm giving it a chance though.

question...if the Fri-Sun shirts come from tthe Derby, where do the Mon - Thurs shirts come from?

I agree, P.flunking brutal

Those come from daily submissions sent directly to woot. Here is the submission form

Also, No QuaPo for the artist thanking woot for choosing their shirt? That's too bad.
