There are more than one bird shirts and certainly more than one shirt with trees and definitly many shirts with creepy long monsters... i'm sure it's still possible that two anteater shirts could be chosen! :) Plus I dont think it was all threadless that decides, wasn't it for the Blik contest, they probably had more of a say than threadless? I don't know. The one that got printed is cuter and friendlier looking and probably appeals to a wider audience, and yours is over all probably a better illustation. They are very different... so it doesn't rule yours out! Good luck.
you don't get it? this one has a long pointy thing with a ball at the end. if you look at the product pictures, the ball sits right over the wee-wee of a guy who buys his shirts long and wears them untucked. it's kind of a marketing shirt, if you like. yours doesn't fill the same function at all.
Aww, at first I thought this was yours, but then I went to the product page and realized it wasn't. This one's pretty cute, but I loved yours and was sure they'd print it.
