Wednesday, September 08, 2010Derby 163's theme was
"Rain". This was a great theme -- broad enough to get a lot of variety but on a subject that can give a lot of visual inspiration. I had trouble narrowing down all the great designs to a reasonable number but here's my favorites and yours. As usual, click on the thumbnail to see the full-size shirt and comments on Shirt.Woot.
The "Wallpaper Sticks To The Wall" Award
CmDixon2 always does a fantastic job of mixing the stylized and the realistic. "Rain, Rain, Go Away" is a wonderful example. I love the side placement, falling paper, and almost-invisible grid lines.

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
