yes, the pet peeve lists have been done. what i want to know is what personally irks you in the designs you see but doesn't have to be bothersome to others.

for example:
i find voodoo doll designs annoying because real voodoo dolls have nothing to do w/ your enemy. they are dolls that you make of yourself, sticking pins on places on your body feel pain (pins are to make you feel better).




and what is your secret shame? what do you always give a higher score to even if the design is weak?

mine is pirates.



although threadless has almost broken me of that. and disney. and scurvy.

i'm so glad they printed this in kids sizes too

congrats on the print

you know how everyone is into typography/fonts these days?

has anyone used geography typography as a font?

and if not, how stupid would it be to have a shirt that says TYPO w/ the geography typography font along w/ an eraser or a bottle of white-out?



i mean. it seems like the first thing a person would want to do since it is so obvious.

i'm guessing it's been done.

my ferris holding ferris bueller's day off art



the royal tennenbaums art, quite big

CHECK THEM ALL OUT
for realz, they be awesome
i also heard a rumor that he takes commissions (excellent gift idea)

chelly stamp of approval

THANK YOU STARR226!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D





and on a totally unrelated note except for timing, i need help deciding whether or not this hat needs a NOSE





the first set of ears i made were all wrong so last night i attached one of them as the snout. this morning i regretted it and thought it looked like a bird. now i have this extra nose (really, it was for another project that i accidentally made too many pink noses and attached one of those to the hat leaving this one, but i digress) and i don't know if attaching it will help the hat. also, i've never attached one like that and am afraid it will suxors.


so, to review:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
and
hmmmmm

EDIT: here's some decent work at home (WAH) sites i found.

but first
-you might want to create an email just for these, because you will need to join than one to make any money and they send most requests by email
-make sure you have paypal, some send money that way
-not all pay in money. some use gift certificates or points to put you in drawings for money. most have a limit that you can cash-out on.
-if you are prone to lie, keep track of it or you will get booted
-keep at it! most businesses will send you more work the longer you stick with them.
-if you don't qualify for a survey, you probably won't get paid
-short surveys are usually sent to determine if you qualify for the real thing
-if asked for a referral, PLEASE use ladylilac*gmail (it you want)
-if one sucks, please tell me and i'll delete it

ORIGINAL BLOG


is there a decent work-from-home way to make some additional cash (in a non-sexual context here folks, let's keep it legal)?

i know a lot of you can do extra design work, but that's not a talent of mine.

anyhow, i've got loads of doctor bills coming up super duper fast and just thought i'd toss this out there in the off-chance that someone knows of something that doesn't require me to "make an investment" beforehand.

thanks.

yay! pockets for everyone!


congrats montro (can i call you b.o.o.t.y. for blogger of of the year?)

has anyone yet designed the cast of MASH (the tv show) playing MASH (the grade school game)?


i sorta imagine seeing the characters from the back, they are using one of those pull down wall maps but have a piece of paper over it with the on-going game. the subtle jokes would be in the categories, of course.

there would probably need to be something about the guy in the dress.
