Hmmm...I added a comment to my old submission "Divine Compliment" and it didn't move to the top of the forums.

It was submitted 388 days ago. Is this a bug or a feature to keep people from bumping old designs and spamming the forums?

Looks more like video games stole your heart, and it's a good thing you have two extras.

Any Zelda fan knows the difference...

Hoping that Threadless may take note and print some old designs they passed up for whatever reason, here are three of my favorites:

Violently Peaceful - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever
silly hat day - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever
Breakfast of the Carribbean - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

What three are you missing (excluding your own, obviously)? Maybe we can comment on some of these and draw some attention to them. Sort of like calling a potential employer in hopes of getting your resume' moved to the top of the stack.

Threadless discourages resubs ("If the design didn't go over well the first time, just try something new"). However, I've been thinking about reworking a couple of mine now that we have the option to use 5 colors.

So I'm wondering: Has a resubmission ever been printed?

...for the penguin on the doily. I'd buy it if that weren't there. It just somehow changes the tone of the whole design and is too distracting from the nifty glowing screens and such.

Nice to see one of the other varieties of anthropomorphism get printed. Congrats, Bananaphone! Awesome work, as usual.

Am I misinterpreting this shirt, or did Threadless just print a design that is overtly Christian?

*WARNING*
This whole blog moved from being a simple discussion about art interpretation into a rather lengthy debate about religion and the origin of the universe.

Divided We Fall - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

I know there are a gajillion submissions these days, since Threadless popularity seems to be reaching critical mass.

I know that your time is valuable and you might not be able to vote on every little sub that is in the running at any given moment.

In short, I know you have many choices in what designs to give an honest vote and sincere comment to. I appreciate your consideration! :D

* There has been a lot of discussion about the thought bubble over bot 4's head. Here's an alternate that I like better:

A human can't get a goat pregnant, a dog can't get a cat pregnant, etc. This is elementary biology.

So how do scientists explain how creatures evolved into other species with different numbers of chromosome pairs and sets of chromosomes? What did the first animal of each species mate with? How could they thrive as a fit organism without anything to mate with? It's absurd to suggest that a male and female would evolve simultaneously and become a happy, healthy couple, so there must be another answer.

It's just one of those questions I've never gotten a good answer to. It's right up there with "Why aren't Chinese names spelled the way they sound when written out in the Roman alphabet?"

;)

I really envy your skills!

It didn't win the comp, but got printed on the same day as the winner, which is interesting. Congrats!
