I'm doing a Threadless workshop - I need your help!
In two days I'm presenting Threadless 101 to art teachers at the Oregon Art Education Association annual conference. I'm putting together a Slideshow that will include Do's and do NOTS!

I need you help on finding some DO-NOTS!

I'm specifically looking for these

- a sub with a very boxy shape (where it doesn't integrate at all with the shirt)

- A sub that is unclear or WAY too detailed of a joke to get

- really bad color choices

- super pixelated

- direct rip-off

- any other things you can think of! please post below!

It's driving me crazy that I can't find an example of the classic rectangle illustration thrown carelessly on to a tee....

I know what I want in my head but can't find it!

Here's one of mine that had an elongated joke that didn't work for a tee:

you may want to add designs not shown on a placement/tee

normally they decline it

No, dude. That doesn't count cause it's still damn funny. I need some REALLY bad stuff...

maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but courtney pie's blog is an inexhaustible source of do-nots.

Yeah. ^ Courtney's blog is a wellspring of that stuff.
