Threadless

donnie_darko
donnie_darko aka Silvia is a 30.79 year old girl, has been a member since November 8, 2005, has scored 8,046 submissions, giving an average score of 1.16, helping 71 designs get printed.
I'm quite frustrated that most (and i mean 90 something percent) of the submissions use washed out, pastel or just faded colors. .. beige, light blue, washed out orange, banana... uh.

I do really want a Neon Monkey reprint, but until then... how come no one uses strong colors for their designs? Some strong yellows, or bright greens, or a deep purple or fuchsia or turquoise? i like color. color is good. it's spring and sunny. i want happily colored t-shirts.

And lovely Bramish has agreed to help with making this after a break right after the 2D contest. Bring on the color extravaganza! And by that I mean designs using strong, bold colors.

A colourific contest is an excellent idea!

donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 4:56am
yes it would, i bet some highly printable stuff would come out of it.

Do it! You could become as popular as your idol, staffell!

donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:03am
that's exactly why i don't want to do it.



i'm not a copycat, i'm a stalker. he should do it. but i bet he's still recovering after the JOT contest.



i'll think of some prizes and if i can gather up a few good ones, maybe we can do this.

And then we can all rejoice in the midst of a rainbow of bright colours. And thank the one we know as the light for all that he has given us.

Well, I'll help you out if you decided to go with it. I'd wait next month at least though. Let Threadless have a fallow period.

The colours in Neon monkey are fairly similar to my next sub...:)
donnie_darko
donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:13am


yes, there definitely should be a recovering period for threadless. just right so i can think up some attractive prizes.



it would be absolutely great if you want and can help, bram.

In fact, only now have I just read your original post. Hopefully you will looooooove my new design donnie....

Colors are pretty.
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:17am
I'm gonna get myself a rep as a contest monkey. Someone else comes up with the idea and takes the acclaim whilst I just hang around in the shadows feeding off the scraps.
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:17am
You know she'll love it anyway, staffell, regardless of whether she actaully loves it or not.

i can't wait to see it then, david... will it be up for critique on the blogs soon or are you just gonna go crazy and submit it directly?



that's pretty funny... that you didn't read my post before bringing that up...
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:23am
Just gonna submit it now and surprise everyone :)
OlliRudi
   OlliRudi on Mar 22 '06 at 5:25am
yes, some strong colours would be nice.
donnie_darko
donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:27am
maybe we can both be monkeys, bram... neon monkeys that is.



anyway, everyone knows you're the real mastermind in the shadows for every move that's made on the blogs. don't be so modest. you crept in staffell's brain and told him to do the jot and then casually came along saying "hey, neat idea, i'll help if you need anything..."
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:33am
Bram is MY bitch. Not the other way round.
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:35am
Seeing as you gave me such a good servicing last night, I'll ignore that comment staffell.
donnie_darko
donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:37am
hahahaha... you'd think i'd be jealous, but oddly enough... no.
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:37am
We are talking about that tennis match right?
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:39am
Yep, that "tennis match". Next time I should string your racquet a lot tighter. And we should use whipped cream on our strawberries.

donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:42am
on your balls, you mean...
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:43am
Way to darken my subtle innuendos d_d!
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:44am
Balls? Sorry, Bram doesn't have any of those donnie.
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:44am
d_d <-----------loooks like a little face
donnie_darko
donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:49am
ha ha... not even tennis balls? isn't that what we were talking about?
donnie_darko
donnie_darko on Mar 22 '06 at 5:49am
and please, david, call me silvia. we're past being polite.
Bramish
   Bramish on Mar 22 '06 at 5:50am
That's weird. staffell always asks me to call him silvia too.
staffell
   staffell on Mar 22 '06 at 5:57am
Sorry Silvia, will do :)

Bramish
   Bramish on May 18 '06 at 6:17am
Dammit, I'd forgotten about this.



I'm up for helping out, but it'll have to be after the 2d Contest now, sorry :(
staffell
   staffell on May 18 '06 at 6:30am

Bramish
   Bramish on May 18 '06 at 7:16am
Let's skip all that foreplay nonsense and get straight to the...oh... foreplay.
staffell
   staffell on May 18 '06 at 7:16am
Well I never got it!! I'm sorry slyvia, I would have replied! If you wanna choose Bram thats fine..

All about me

Punk. Funny. Obsessive about details. Didn't quite reach the psychotic edge yet. I need my music, it keeps me happy. I live to eat, because "i like food, food is good".
My heroes: Gwen Stefani, the punk. Billie Joe Armstrong. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Al Pacino. David Fincher.
