Two designs I'm working on

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:29:09 -0500

Here are two designs I'm currently playing around with. Any feedback on how I can improve either would be great. Thanks.

Honey Heist in the Land of the Giant Bees.

The Moon Cheese Expedition

Illustrated Dream Journals (update)

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:33:34 -0500

I thought it would be fun to start a blog were everyone posts illustrated recaps of some of the more bizarre dreams they have had. It would give an amusing look into each others minds. So bookmark this blog, put a notepad on the nightstand, and come back here anytime to share with us any lucid and strange dream you might have had.

Here�s one I just recently had:

Last minute Childhood WIP

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:19:41 -0500

I'm trying to cram in one more design (3rd) for the Loves Childhood competition before the deadline tonight. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to improve this. Thanks :)

Cardboard conflict (Jeffy's revenge)

Loves Childhood WIP UPDATED

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:22:43 -0500

Edit: I made a few changes (Thanks for all the help!), and colored it with some watercolors. I removed the fish from the line, made the line less straight, and added some shadow behind the kid and cat to give the basket a little more depth.

Anymore suggestions? Thanks again!

Questions about the Chicago meetup

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:33:54 -0500

I've long been interested in going to Chicago, and this meetup looks like the perfect excuse to finally visit the Windy City.

Questions: How many days are you guys/gals going to be there, and is there a hotel that everyone stays at (for those of us who don't have a coach to crash on)?

Thanks,

XOXOXO

Hey, Threadless. Could we maybe make the designers first comment editable?

Tue, 12 May 2009 20:12:36 -0500

Since all submissions start off with a post by the artist (below the design) in the comment section, regardless of whether they actually leave a comment or not, could you possible make that initial artist comment editable in the future?

It would be nice if the designer could update that first post to clarify any confusion, or post links to additional color choices/alternate placement, etc. That way the voters can see these new comments left by the designers, without having to scroll through the page to find them.

I don't know if any of that made any sense. It was just idea that popped into my head, as I was trying to clarify some confusion someone was having with one of my designs.

I'm finally on Flickr

Mon, 11 May 2009 19:28:01 -0500

I just uploaded a whole three images (more to come).

I'm not real familiar with the place, or how any of it works. Any groups I need to go check out?

Is this design worth revisiting?

Thu, 07 May 2009 12:42:06 -0500

I found an old design I never submitted from like three years ago (Red Cross Loves Threadless), and I was wondering if anyone thought it was worth revisiting/reworking. It was titled "Anonymous Gift."

WIP: Wacky Racers - looking for suggestions.

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:43:24 -0500

I've been inspired by those Wacky Races cartoons, and have decided to try and make a shirt filled with strange racers. I thought maybe I'd throw this up here and see if any of you creative minds have any ideas for a wacky car(s). Here's what I have so far, and I'm sketching out a couple more as we speak.

Thanks for looking.

I think I'm going to visit the nearby UFO cult

I pass by this place all the time on the way to the library, but I've never been able to muster the courage to go inside.

Quick overview:

Unarius (an acronym for Universal Articulate Interdimensional Understanding of Science) was founded in 1954 by Ruth & Ernest Norman. Unarius teaches that humankind is being prepared for a momentous change in consciousness, at which point Earth will be invited to join the Interplanetary Federation as the 33rd planet.

They prophesized that in 2001 the Muons from planet Myton,
located in the Pleiadean star system, would land their spacecraft on a raised
landmass that was part of the Atlantean continent in the area of the
Caribbean Sea (they believe Atlantis sunk into the ocean after a laser destroyed its main generator). These advanced scientists would then share their understanding of the interdimensional physics of energy, resulting in new technological
developments that will cleanse our environment from toxins and provide
a nonpolluting power generating system powerful enough to supply energy
for our entire world.

I guess the Muons were too busy to make it.

These videos are hilarious:
