Wednesday, September 01, 2010Derby 162's theme was
"Cryptozoology". This is a repeat theme and one that I was happy to see again but I thought I'd like more shirts than I did. I think I'm still suffering from a Double Take hangover and I'm not ready to move on -- I'm going to definitely need another week of ECs! There were still some great shirts here that I couldn't resist. Here's your favorites and mine. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.
The "Water For Elephants" Award
Sogj's "Elephus Nessius Pransterus" is a great visual pun with crisp colors. Keep up the great work Sogj!

Monday, August 30, 2010Here's some shirts from the past that are now available to be either submitted to another contest or sold outright via a print-to-order service. To be more specific, it's been over 60 days for these shirts and they're either free of Honorable Mentions or have already made their way through a Do-Over Derby. If you agree that you'd like to see these again, post your comment here to let the artist know!
The Still-Want-Awards are going to get a lot easier for a few weeks now that the Double-Take is over. Even the HM shirts are ready to be printed somewhere else. Here'a a couple of great ones including Amarillo's popular "Manteater" which many are hoping gets an Editor's Choice print this week -- if not, it's immediately available to take elsewhere.

Wednesday, August 25, 2010Derby 161 was the
Double-Take Derby #10 where all the shirts that Woot liked but didn't get printed get a second chance. Yesterday, I talked about the top 5 shirts they missed. Today, it will be the top 5 shirts (again in no particular order) that don't look likely to be printed but really should be. In addition, I have predictions for what shirts are likely to be printed next week when Woot picks their Editor's Choices. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010No1 has been here since Derby #1, yet I for one have always gotten his handle wrong. He tells me it's "no one" not "number one". It's cool to see another old-timer get a print. Here's more about "no one".
Shirt.Woot Stats? (first derby / shirts bought / shirts printed)
1 / ? / 1. I'm not sure how many shirts I've bought. I've had this shirt printed as well as made it onto the collab shirt.
What are your tools of choice?
For the derbies, mostly GIMP and a
tablet.
