this post is for all the bad designs that we have all had... but then came to our senses. I have a lot of them.

1) After the Michael Phelps bong incident i started sketching a parody of the Obama Hope image with Phelps holding a bong over Dope.... I know, I know....

2) I started to sketch out the Octomom as a large sci-fi creature her tentacled arms outstretched stepping over a city scape as the Frankenstein type doctor is off to the side...
(yeah - i know- too topical)- i was even going to have her holding her eight premature babies!!!

3) started to sketch a girl wearing fish net stockings with fish caught in them-- but thought --naaaaaaa.

4) thought of two guys punching a cat-- oh yeah, I actually did make this one-!!!
Please vote on my latest submission:

I think I had a kid in a bicycle helmet with pillows tied around him as armor trying to spear a dinosaur skeleton at a muesuem.

I actually scored your cat-punching well. Guess I just hate cats.

I've considered at various times sketching up a design about bicycle-jousting, but then I remember that Jackass did it.

Isaboa- I am a fan of your work and about to purchase the Lincoln design, (which is incredible). by the way PBS is going to have an awesome Lincoln documentary this month.



You may have some so called "bad ideas" submitted but most of your stuff is just so good. anyone who produces a lot of submissions and who's creative and humorous boundary lines are out there are going to produce some questionable work--- you cannot hit home --runs without striking out a ton-



besides you have Rutger for your pic- so I am already gonna like you- I was born in Holland.

hey thanks loads Ellogoods,



I really appreciate it. I consider where I am at now with my pencil and pen work to be directly related to the inspiration and constant nagging desire to sub here for the last couple years. It really is a great way to hone skills.



and hell yeah to Rutger. I have read all about his fame in Holland. He is a pretty amazing guy - your homeland should be proud.

Rutger ruled in Blade Runner-



and I know what you mean about the tug and pull here at Threadless- it definitely is a challenge when there are so many creative people here- I want to be better-



I mentioned you here:






I love crappy submissions!

The gentleman with all his hunted animals mounted arseways (literally) on the wall was probably pretty bad.



Someone gently talked me out of it :)

gumbolimbo, that is not a bad idea at all- I have seen worse- and you have some incredible stuff
Ellogoods
Ellogoods on Feb 17 '09 at 6:22am
badbasilisk- your wire walker is very funny but just not pc enough for threadless-



I just cannot believe they have not printed Candyverse- that design definitely should be printed

butts in general, yeah!

I've several butt characters that never leave the scetchbook, like the butt on legs that communicates by farting.

He could be friends with the hatted butt!

After a couple of intimate naked mirror sessions, I started creating a pretty realistic rendition of my gooch as I was going to pair it up with my excellent Tom Hanks sketch and call it Turner and Gooch.
