Derby entry comments for Derby #36: Text As Art

wow… i see the original idea now… with the sheep jumping over the fence… at first I saw a bed with someone catching some "zz"s… lol… thats awesome… am i crazy??

This shirt has been done before, thus it’s not an original concept and should be subject to rejection : http://images.etsy.com/all_images/8/861/4d4/il_fullxfull.13538420.jpg

Here’s the idea done on plates :

Other things have been rejected for less.

When all else fails, use the rhyme-bomb.

I really like the idea, but I’m afraid it might be the opposite of what Woot is looking for. I think you’re supposed to make pictures out of text, and this is making text out of pictures.

Who would have predicted a battle of the Ravens?!?!?

Awsome shirt. Good luck.

I guess since last derby it was Da Bears…

These are the names of the victims of the brutality of the inexplicably revered Che Guevara.

It took me a second to realize that the Hero was a spaceship, but otherwise it’s a cool design.

This idea is similar in concept to existing shirts, as one person has already pointed out. Granted, I agree - though I am making an addition execution-wise to an idea {which, fortunately, cannot be protected}. It is very different from the examples of which i’m sure a couple of people will point out, and based on woots decisions made in this dept. in the past, I very much doubt this is rejection material. I might be wrong. I will say this, let’s keep the thread clean in here - I know you guys like to get out of hand. The tattle button is at the top right corner, and if you must - make your case and move on. Let’s not turn this into a flame war. Thank you.

beef grazing on grass tshirt, get it? no?..sigh…I am so sorry, i don’t know what I was thinking with that pun. I’ll just go now.

It always surprises me just how much of this poem I can recite from memory. Great job on the raven. GMV.

CAUTION!
you too are made of flammable materials.

Red on black.
hope ya’ll enjoy.

That’s pretty funny. The designer of this shirt can recite the entire thing from memory. :slight_smile: She’s my sister btw.

ah yes. it kinda does look like that. Not exactly related to the code but interesting…

Looks like someone beat me to the punch. You can never have too many ravens.

Well in any case, job well done.

I like the way you think.

WHO! first comment!

i hope this one wins… me and my roommate keep chickens…
We live in the middle of a city.

this shirt is awesome, and chickens taste really good.

No udders! gasp

Maybe it’s mancow milk… Fun design, and hell… submit whatever. It’s open season until the hammer starts falling.
