If you’re going to borrow someone else’s design and be rejected, at least consider doing so from an artist who’s definitely not coming back here! Yeesh!

Speaking of which … here’s a lazy an easy solution as an example: just replace the cat with a fox!

(FWIW, Diana seems have been doing most of their foxes there. The founder hasn’t done much of their shirt designing for a while now.)

This may be a stupid question, but is it ok for us to submit multiple designs? I am keen to try and rework a design that received a C&D like @krittikae asked about, but I am fearful if I don’t get it right and it is C&D worthy again then that would be a waste of my one shot.

Thanks for asking that! I was hoping to do another cute ring, and maybe one other. All my other top designs are texty, but I did want to try one of those too.

I miss Diana doing Diana-style designs, but she’s very good at what she does there.

Oh also, I was going to pitch this as a side-sale theme, but @thatrobert suggested a derby - which is an easier and quicker way to get artists onboard. Thanks TR!

…I think this mini-derby is going to be a little bit crazy. XD

Of course, always ok to have multiple submissions!

Uh-oh.

I was considering ways of re-imagining my best-selling design, The Reason for the Season, but I just noticed that it seems to have disappeared from the catalog after a side-sale in the middle of February–along with, it would seem, most of the other shirts in that side-sale.

Is this a mistake? Or have I ticked off the wrong person?

This is an issue I am working on with our dev team, for now you can get to ithere.

Nothing personal…a few others are having this issue and we haven’t identified why yet.

Okay. Either they just fixed this.
Or it might be time to take a long vacation…

Either way, thanks.

@Lady5tark Is anything happening between Thursday (today) and when this derby launches?

Yes! A full write up will post at noon, but we will be driving folks to vote in our special contest Derby with Do512over here!

I have no idea what that is. Was this something we were supposed to be aware of/participate in?
I’m actually really confused now.

How did we not know about a $3000 design contest from woot?

I was about the ask the exact same thing. Didn’t see any kind of advertising here or any of the newsletters about this and voting starts today? Bummer…

This was a competition hosted outside of Woot, by an Austin based group for an Austin event, so it was geared towards Austin based artists. Also this is a partnership of Woot as a company not just shirt.

“How does this make you feel…”
like… Mom made cookies for the neighborhood kids and didn’t give me any… I wish I hadn’t even known about it.
