Yeah, been a while since I submitted, but here are some new ones. I guess didn't learn my lesson, but this 10K challenge is ridiculous, so I had to submit some ideas that have been floating around in my sketchbook(s).

First one up.

Such A Good Day - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More



And just finished up the second one.

Under the Moonlight - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

OKay, it got denied.

Kinda happy to submit some stuff.

hilarious, I see all types of pop references but I guess no stormtroopers.

You would have loved my other sub, Dan, but alas, it was too controversial. Oh wells. What the hell have you submitted in the past yeah, the last thing I remember was a war bird and a peace sign.

Well it's better than that billionaires boys club brand or bape, ha

at least you're gettin printed.

yeah, denied, the stars wars attorneys are onto threadless. even though it was a definitive parody, damn you Lucas, damn you. I'll post it later when I get home.

okay, back to work.

So weird, just saw another cookie monster sub with the keebler elves, a batman submission. Those are pop images but are protected by parody.

Lucas' lawyers must have Threadless under a microscope ever since Midnight in the Garden (?), Glennz's famous illo.

fuck George Lucas, and fuck what copyright law has turned into.

Is this a shot up zombie stormtrooper doing the Thriller dance moves? I don't see it as parody, so maybe that's why it got declined.
Robsoul
   Robsoul on Nov 02 '11 at 6:59pm
okay, so what is cookie monster as a ringwraith looking for keebler elves? Or batman drinking tea?

it's all good, I know lucas is watching threadless after glennz's old sub, so they don't even want to chance it.

but a zombie stormtrooper doing the mj thriller dance is a parody of thriller and of star wars. please tell me by the definition of a parody how this isn't? but as stated, threadless doesn't want to mess with star wars lawyers, b/c they have the force and billions of $$$ behind them.

I don't understand the copyright crap with star wars designs... seems like theres always a couple of them being voted on at any given time, yet this was declined? Why accept some and not others... I understand parody but even those get removed from the site by the the Lucas team after a short while.

Man, even the frenchies denied it b/c of the blood etc! Funny b/c they have a stormtrooper surfing on the second page of their current submissions.

Craziness. Still bummed though b/c I set aside time to work on this just for Threadless, just for you Threadless! Do you hear me, Threadless?! You're like a girlfriend that keeps tearing me a part but I keep going back for... hmmm why, why do I keep coming back?

Are you referring to the new tee that just came out?

We took a huuuge risk with that one, even had to change the name. The only reason that's sort of OK and this one isn't, is...it's not an actual image of a stormtrooper, it's just some "splotches that remind you of one."

I was gonna say why not do a koopa storm troopa design instead, but it looks like someone already printed it so I guess I have no advice to give you after all ok bye.
