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.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010We're in the middle of
Double-Take Derby #10 and since not every shirt can come back for a another chance there are a few entries that are sorely missed. This is the top 5 shirts (in no particular order) that I'm sorry aren't here for a second chance -- the Shoulda Been Awards.
What are the shirts you miss since the last Double-Take? Add a comment below of another shirt that didn't make it this far.
On Wednesday, instead of the normal Best Loser Awards there will be another top 5 list -- the top 5 shirts that should have printed but were not.

Another blowout BLA/HM matchup -- all the Best Loser Awards got Honorable Mentions in Derby 153. Here's a couple of other great shirts that are now available.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010Derby 160's theme was
"The end of the world". Fewer entries and lower vote totals than a typical week. I would have thought this theme would be more popular; there were surprisingly few zombie shirts (I'm definitely not complaining). But there were some fun creative takes on the theme. Here's your favorites and mine. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.
The "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" Award
Newcomer MurrayMullet has a wonderfully crisp style with their "Diabolical Sun". I hope he or she will participate more and enter the Derby earlier!

There have yet to be any HMs posted for the Devo derby. The two I selected here would be great to see again from the artists since they were both beautiful works that obviously took a lot of effort and would be easy to remove the logos from.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010Derby 159's theme was
"Road Trip". This theme was broader than it first appeared as you can see by the variety of entries featured here. I wouldn't say this was an amazingly great theme but there were a lot of solid shirts that I had to mention. Here's your favorites and mine. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.
The "Cows, Alfalfa, and Rock'n'Roll" Award
Newcomer DexterSpandex throws a twist in the 70s sunset shirt with this bovine design. Very wearable.

As is often the case, Woot coincidentally HM'd all the BLAs (or just copied them?) this week as well. Here's a couple of other great designs that can now be sold.

Wednesday, August 04, 2010Derby 158's theme was
"Physics". This was a nerdy theme that got a different skew of artists to participate. Many shirts were too literal in their illustration of the theme -- there wasn't any fun or interest beyond the scientific principal being drawn. Still plenty of good shirts though -- here's our favorites. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.
The "Galactopus" Award
ILoveDoodle's "The Solar System" is a new take on a tired idea. I love the barely visible octopus that would only be seen as someone looked closer at your shirt. Also, the texture on the sun gives it the feel of being inside the octopus. Fantastic work!

Since Woot HM'd all the BLAs, I've selected a couple of other great designs for today's shirts.
