So this was requested to be resized. Voila! I love this design, it is my homage to the people in the food industry! Hope you all like it.

sandmanda on Jun 08 '06

this is really creative, i've never seen something like this, and its really refreshing. $5 and i'd buy

doydel on Jun 08 '06

Thanks! god I am so happy they took this sub, I was really proud of it.

pencilbomb on Jun 08 '06

nice.

rei_hiino on Jun 08 '06

I'd buy it..very creative

doydel on Jun 08 '06

thanks! you have no idea what it is like to hear that...I have just been doubting myself so much, this is a great ego boost!

Prexis on Jun 08 '06

love it! i'd prefer more colour though.

doydel on Jun 08 '06

I amm sure I can put it on more colors later, right?

AliceKat on Jun 08 '06

Took me awhile to realize that girl is waitress...good guy though! Different font but KEEP THE TEXT. $4.

doydel on Jun 08 '06

Hey Alice, what font do you think would be better? I just wanted something that you could read. Serif or sans serif?

qlaudia on Jun 08 '06

ha. this is fantastic.

Prexis on Jun 08 '06

personally i'd tilt the text at the same angle as the witress but that's just a tiny thing.

doydel on Jun 08 '06

Oh....thats a good idea prexis...well...dont the designers make changes where they see fit if it gets printed(knock on wood)?

dizzilyblue on Jun 08 '06

I love the idea! The type works horizontally (since it mimics the other line), although it would work tilted too . . .

My only concerns, though small, are about the placement of the X and Y (I thought Y was vertical), and the location of the man's hand (almost looks like his hand is going up her skirt?).

martiniFISH on Jun 08 '06

funny very funny

doydel on Jun 08 '06

Dizz- I soooooo thought of that when I made it!! I was like, that right hand looks a little precarious, if you think of it like that...hopefully, most will like it anyways:)

doydel on Jun 08 '06

by the way dizzy- i loved the morse code shirt, I would absolutely buy that.

dooeyhess on Jun 08 '06

Classic...$5

canstillremember on Jun 08 '06

y is vertical, x is horizontal, please

doydel on Jun 08 '06

oh man!! Are you kidding me? well, i am an artist, not a mathmatician...assuming i even spelled mathmatician correctly.

EFDisaster on Jun 08 '06

nope, but bad spelling and bad math aside... this is a genius shirt... $5

doydel on Jun 08 '06

Heh heh...well hey, its the thought that counts i guess:)

-carrythezero- on Jun 08 '06

hahaha, funny idea. I guess math does have its place.

raubt on Jun 08 '06

cute, I'd buy it.

Dooms_Dooms on Jun 08 '06

this rocks its such a lame pun its funny

drusco on Jun 08 '06

Man, it another good one, but it doesnt seem to attract the kind of people on this site...I got one for you that just popped up...hit me up

e.good on Jun 08 '06

Blah

Too much like Hypotoamoose

ddillman2006 on Jun 08 '06

not bad...a testiment to all waitstaff around the world. $5

amy122166 on Jun 08 '06

original!!!

ddillman2006 on Jun 08 '06

Yeah, I agree...it is nice to see something unique. I have had my fill of humping animals, and ninjas.

good work.

Pink Rabbit on Jun 08 '06

I dont like the silhouettes as black, maybe a dark blue to go with the shirt, and some light blue shadows.. then i'd give it a 4!

doydel on Jun 09 '06

Yeah, thats a good idea, I did black just because it goes with all colors...

Cdubs on Jun 09 '06

I don't tip... MR. PINK

Ragsy on Jun 09 '06

The X and Y are switched, but I still like it. It's cool. If I could tinker a bit, I think I would remove the whole angle thing alltogether, but that's just me. I'm smarter than most people. Some people need an explanation I guess.

jennyraggett on Jun 09 '06

I absolutely love this shirt. I think it's just a fun play on words. This is the kind of shirt that if worn, people would stop and go, "where did you get that shirt???"
Nice job doydel!

sbelanger on Jun 09 '06

Love this one.
Would buy it ASAP.

catdogpigduck on Jun 10 '06

aching for color

superwoman on Jun 10 '06

I absolutely loooooooveeee it!

unclehomie on Jun 10 '06

dig the minimalistic thing. Dull color, shadow people. I think you should go even further by losing the text and limiting the range of values too. For instance, on the red version, instead of black use a 20% darker red. The "Ghost of Cliches Past" or something. Let your public decide what is represented there--if they can't, maybe better?

doydel on Jun 10 '06

Yeah, uncle, I get it...its hard because I dont want the majority to say "I dont get it" .

By the way, you need to actually vote, it says you have never voted.

Feedbacks good, votes are better:)

bendhess1977 on Jun 10 '06

its simple...but it works really well. I could see a diner using this.

canis lupus on Jun 10 '06

Everyone seems to be so concerned with the x and y, well I think they have it all wrong! The patron is on his back do to the great service he's receiving from the waitrees who's on top of him getting her tip from his right hand.

Love it Bueadacious, keep em coming
By the way what happened to Shocker? he he ha haha

myenglishdisease on Jun 10 '06

the skirt looks more ballet than waitress but i love it. who is going to notice x and y ??? will anyone care??? it is funny and a nice reminder, especially to those mr.pinks out there who think us waitresses get some sort of salary along with our tips. ha ha! ~katie

acottrel on Jun 10 '06

Want want want. E-mail me if it gets printed somewhere else? Seems like every shirt I like here gets vetoed by the damn hippies. ;)

doydel on Jun 10 '06

Well acottrel, fight the power! Rally the troops, lets get it made...if it does not, email me at doydel@yahoo.com and I will hook ya up.

Shalom on Jun 10 '06

Is the guy wearing a tie? I could do without whatever that is that's hanging off of him. But otherwise it's a funny concept. I like the waitress and how she's so statuesque.

n h i on Jun 10 '06

hahha. i love it!

aisu_kuriimu on Jun 10 '06

good idea, original, but you have the axis albelled incorrectly. its the other way round.

corneli23 on Jun 11 '06

Sort of... weird. It's interesting and original, but it just isn't "consistant". Sure the guy's tipping the waitress, but that has nothing to do with a 60 degree angle or a set of axes. I like the originality though :)

bananaphone on Jun 11 '06

"oh man!! Are you kidding me? well, i am an artist, not a mathmatician...assuming i even spelled mathmatician correctly. "

Then don't design anything to do with maths... getting the X and Y axis right is essential if something like this were to be printed so don't bitch just because someone pointed it out.

They Call Me Special K on Jun 11 '06

"Sort of... weird. It's interesting and original, but it just isn't "consistant". Sure the guy's tipping the waitress, but that has nothing to do with a 60 degree angle or a set of axes. I like the originality though :)"

that person is completely wrong. but whatever, i still dont like it. it seems like some static people you took out of clipart or colored over in photoshop. the waitress is just tipping, instead of having her foot stay planted on the ground (or axis) it just goes straight through.

Fish_Bone on Jun 11 '06

Holy crap, this made me laugh out loud. Good job because I would totally buy it.

cheerios91 on Jun 11 '06

amazing!

APcaitZ on Jun 11 '06

I didnt like it at first but hell, It grew on me

xxcm88 on Jun 11 '06

Honestly the x and y being in the wrong spot kill the shirt, in my opinion. The design has some sort of math element so the axis definately need to be right.

Social_hazard on Jun 12 '06

ahah i cant wait to get this.. only because im a waitress

daniellam on Jun 12 '06

this is the type of shirt weird 40 year old men with ginger hair would buy and wear out on family trips to london with their family. and on the tube on the way home they'd get a business call and talk annoyingly loudly.

whatexactly on Jun 12 '06

Great shirt--Ragsy and xxcm88 are right about the x and y though!
Doydel is to shirt design as Blind Corner is to music.

ky25 on Jun 12 '06

Hahahaha, creative!

bloodontherocks on Jun 12 '06

It's almost one of those obnoxious novelty shirts, but it's jsut enough not to be. I like it.

schwe on Jun 13 '06

You should put the font tilted on the same line that the waitress is tilted on. Very good idea. 5+buy

nats on Jun 14 '06

haha nice ;)

cherrypixel on Jun 14 '06

cool!

moniquerssneakers on Jun 14 '06

Lose the math reference it's extraneous information. The concept works alone. Either draw a thin horizon line beneath then or move the text and use it as the horizon line.
