Short-sleeve shirts to keep you warm… Wait, that’s not right.
What’s your fave?

Khione on a poster would be super! Thanks.
Oh hey! I just noted how much I’d love to see Nose Thief reoffered!
Love the totes, except they’re not suitable for commuting with a laptop.
Any chance Woot will rethink their tote supplier and offer a slightly larger one made with good quality canvas, a shoulder strap, zipped pocket inside and a key chain hook?
… I can dream right?
I bought the ‘All Is Calm’ tee back on 12/22/2007, when it placed second in the winter derby. Glad to see it offered again! This time around there are both long sleeve (USA!) and short sleeve (Honduras/Nicaragua) versions.
My favorite shirt is khione, but I already own both long and short sleeved versions so I’ll get Last Flight Home long-sleeved this time.
For those who are unaware, the artist of “Imposter,” reprinting in this Woot Plus sale as a hoodie and a tote was caught plagiarizing another artist’s work and hasn’t had a first-time print at woot since, although they’ve reprinted several of her designs in Woot Plus sales since. This thread, with the story starting with this post, follows the discovery that “World Nom-ination” was plagiarized and subsequently pulled from publication. (This is the first response from the actual artist, Keevs; also, please note that tgentry posted one of the first responses; at the time, he wasn’t yet a staff member, but his posts show up with the “staff” designation because he’s staff now - but those weren’t official responses.)
I am posting because I believe that each wooter should be able to make an informed decision about whether to buy the artist’s reprints since she earns $2 for each purchase. When I first discovered woot, I didn’t know the history and I happily purchased “Imposter.” I have to admit: I love the design. I’ve felt like that bunny, trying desperate to fit in, more times than I can count. But I’m grateful for the wooters who passed along the links so I could find out for myself what happened. Make your own choices and don’t bash others for their choices: this isn’t the thread for that.
Stop offering awesome things! I already gave you all my money! D:
Khione is a gorgeous shirt and I’d love to see another shiny metallic print by that artist (I also have Sea Chariot). Solstice is another favorite, I love winter blues (colors, not mood) so a warmer long sleeve version is tempting.
Khione… khioneeeeee.
It is my co-favorite woot shirt evar.
Everyone buy it right now.
No Bowling!!! Tote. Hm. Considering.
This makes what? Like their millionth reprinting of Imposter? Ugh…
I’m a fan of Solstice.
Hungry Igloo!
Seriously Woot, why are you reprinting a design from a proven plagiarizer? Don’t you want to keep that all swept under the rug? I guess the expected sales must be worth the renewed disgust of the few who pay some attention.
edit: On a friendlier note, Khione is great and it’s nice to see it again.
Woot, you are so infuriating, I can’t be too angry about this side sale including Ramy and Seki because you also happen to be re-printing Khione, Solstice, Nose Thief and other good ones.
I will say that Woot surely has other “cute” artists who could fill those spots!
I’ve been waiting for a Khione reprint! my first edition is too big (makes a good nightshirt though).
Messenger bags are cumbersome with their giant flap, refuse to stand on their own and, there’s no nice way to say this, they’re pretty cheesy. I don’t doubt they had so few sales.
I’m thinking more along the lines of something similar to LLBean’s Boat and Tote bags. Durable, can hold anything/go anywhere and still look great after a beating.
