this shirt.woot sub really pops on red


I just had to get this image out of my head and into the digital realm. For some reason I just couldn't let it go. Yes I know the scared food meme is tired and old, feel free not to vote for it of flame me endlessly on the forums. If there's anyone out there reading this.

I can't ever get red shirts to look right when doing comp images. They look perfect when making them, but when uploading it looks less than ideal. Tried color matching and all the other stuff.

abstract pressure release at shirt.woot


Something a little different from my usual stuff this week. Patterned smoke/swirl coming out of a lamp. Works well on a white shirt! Pastels look pretty cool I think.

Gonna Make You Lunch at Shirt.Woot


Last week's derby was #100, and it was "Mystery". Artist names were hidden and I didn't want to post my entry here just in case someone read up. Not that it was that difficult to figure out who did what, with SDS (shirtderbystats.com) letting the cat outta the bag. But that's also woot's fault. Anyway it's not that big of a deal. I started submitting to the shirt.woot derby way back on #19, Travel. My first entry got 5 votes, and I can understand why by looking back.

The theme this week is "Fake Band T-shirts". I decided to do a parody of C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat" (which is almost 20 years old btw, wow!), with PB+J Music Factory, "Gonna Make You Lunch". I'm pretty pleased with how this came out, special thanks to the kind folks at BadTParty.

All art is an imitation of nature


New piece this week for the shirt.woot contest. The theme this week is "Famous Quotations Illustrated", but they have made a lot of quotable material off limits. No song lyrics or dialogue from movies, TV shows, or video games. So, I went way back in time and found a nice art quote from Seneca. Seneca was a Roman dramatist, philosopher, & politician who lived from 5 BC to 65 AD.

"All art is an imitation of nature." is the quote I chose.

To illustrate this I chose a canvas platform, which an artist would use to "imitate nature", and had natural objects such as plants and animals coming out of the canvas. Mostly cool colors (three shades of green, blue, and tan) accompany an orange to bring this one out on a navy shirt.

Thanks for any votes!

vigilante at shirt.woot


Time for a little vigilante action at shirt.woot this week - the theme is BBQ and I've made a giant hot dog fighting back against its oppressors who want to eat it. Please vote!

ice dancing accident at shirt.woot


This week's theme at shirt.woot is dance. Now, I'm not particularly fond of dancing, nor the theme of dancing save a few extracurricular exceptions. But, I made a few designs for it anyhow. This first one is a bit of fun, with some dancing ice cubes in a slippery situation. Thanks for any votes.

shirt.woot disintegrates and skulls are overdone


Wow, two derby entries after being gone so long. Hope some folks like this one, it went through some odd variations. Initially it was going to be an old timey cherubic sun, but that didn't pan out and it ended up like this.
