I think the demise of the guess the score blogs are due to the score no longer being hidden during voting. But I am of the opinion that this indeed makes it easier to guess but not totally pointless.

so here is the deal, guess the score - you dont even have to comment or even score if you are an evil bastard. just post here with your guess and whoever is closest get a $25 gift card to society 6 (you dont even have to buy one of my prints...)

so yeah, that's it
]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:09:11 -0600 SHE'S SUBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for making this happen. Thanks to Bort for his kick ass flash skills.. way to go peeps. I think this shirt is just plain bitchin.

I am going to host all the options and a slideshow of all the wrestlers at checkoutmygrandpa.com - along with polls for people to vote on their favorite composition and color for the final submission. I am not dragging my feet.. 52 is alot of luchadors david....

Also keep an eye on this blog for some final discussion making on the submission. It is pretty much past the point of no return for submitting luchadors BUT if you get it to me I may be able to squeeze you in.. but no guarantee. FINAL TOTAL OF PARTICIPANTS 49 - total of luchadors 50!!

UPDATE 4-9-12
I am putting together the file.. gonna take some time so there is still time to send me your wrestler. I will post some options as far as layout and such as I get them ready. thanks so much to everyone who has participated! the shirt is going to be rad

UPDATE 4-7-12
we have a ton of amazing wrestler/strongmen/luchadors! and with this being the holiday weekend I am not going to really progress on the final shirt till mon-tuesday so if you haven't sent me your files you have some more days here. DRAW DRAW DRAW

and to those who have gone through the effort to participate and send me your awesomeness - THANKS YOU RULE!

UPDATE: 3-30-12
33 participants subbed so far - deadline is extended a week to allow folks who are lagging to get their files in. I will be emailing you guys directly to see if I can help in any way :)

SO far everyone's files are freaking RAD so pats on the back all around


UPDATE - 3-4-12:
rock and roll with subbing luchadors / muscle men. scroll through the blog below to see some already submitted to get an idea what other people are doing. Feel free to email me if you wanna bounce ideas etc.

as I get your files I will email you back letting you know i received them and all is set - I will also mark your name below in the participation list as FILE RECEIVED. Also make sure and post it to this blog so everyone can see.


SO this is where we are with the color set use WHITE as a ninth color because it is our shirt color
Please suggest any and all changes to the colors. But also proceed with your luchador and if there are slight adjustments I will just adjust the files I have already received, I don't want color indecision to hold up production. If you have a better idea for a better brown or pink please let me know send me a value and we can try it out on some of the already subbed guys.





thoughts? this is real quick and not set in stone - I am posting to also look at on different monitors now is the time to say "that color looks like ass!"

thanks in advance








sorry for the delay, I got tied up with stuff.

Anyhow I was getting the itch to do a massive collab like the monster mob (I think 4 years is a nice hiatus to recoup and regroup)

We learned alot with the mob and I was thinking last night what would make an good theme that would work with a bunch of people drawing things for a single shirt - MM worked cause there were so many that it had this crazy monster collage / sticker sheet vibe to it.

Anyhow it came to me LUCHA LIBRE!!!

remember those little pink wrestlers



how fun would it to draw a little badass luchador wrestlers to go on a shirt - make him a classic masked muscle man. Or even go wacky with 8 arms. but a consistent theme and color set (ii will geet a color pallet posted as soon as I can) is there anything easier and funner to draw?? I don't think so

It also opens up the ability to do mini collabs within the shirt (like two or three pairing up for a little smackdown or tag team action)

anyhow - overall a similar aesthetic to the MM where there are just a ton of little guys all over the shirt. So it would need quite a bit of participation.

Some other ideas:
- If you do not have the ability to process and color your wrestler then just email it to me (scan or really good photo) and I will do it for you
- With monster mob we all got shirts, which was cool (when it printed the prize was divided up and threadless gave us all gift certificates) But I was thinking if it gets printed, it would be cool to just donate the prize in total to the bloggerraiser.

GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS, good idea? Bad idea, bacon and eggs idea?

PROJECT DETAILS
- see color swatch. the colors are listed with their RGB values so you can just plug them into photoshop or illustrator.
- keep your lines bold because your dude may end up small (not crazy bold or anything)
- Tentative deadline is April 1 to get all the luchadors. If everyone gets them to me sooner, we can get this subbed sooner.
- There are a lot of people participating so don't feel stressed about making a work of art. Make it clear and simple and fun. So far all that have been sent it fit the idea perfectly so look at what we have so far to get an idea.
- any thing that i have left out feel free to point out or ask below or email me and I will promptly reply.

Files need to be in a format, any format really - and emailed to JOE at ANTIQUATEDPRESS.COM

If you can just draw something on a napkin and email it to me, I will make it work.

QUESTIONS: post here or email me, whatever works
]]> Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:57:39 -0600 I am of the opinion that it is a natural cycle and right now is just a transition time here at TL

When I first started the funnest / coolest thing was group submission themes and even the massive collaboration or two

so what's it like out there? would anyone be down to do such a thing? I have been pretty busy for the last year and a half but lately Im feelin an itch to do some themed submission work or maybe even a big collab ala' monster mob

for the themed sub - we basically come up with a criteria like a theme or even a restriction (all text based shirts, all shirts have to have a muscle car, or limited color palette .. I hope you get the idea)

or for a big group collab I had some ideas kicking around, one was for everyone to draw a picture of their dog/cat/parakeet and then we make a big shirt with lotsa real life pets (sounds fun right!) yeah I have tons of bad ideas I know - got one better? post it

anyhow post your ideas and or desire to dance here

If none of this is of any interest yet you have read this far - let me offer a this question. Which duke is the best duke?
Bo, Luke, Daisy or Uncle Jesse?
