The shirt thread!

    Puns. Ha!

    I know there are a lot more users here then those who are posting, I'm sure all of you make t-shirts. Let's get some recent shirts going here! Same rules apply, encouragement and constructive criticism:



    Little ditty for Facedown band Abel, wanted to keep it super simple. The lighter gray was screened as a halftone, which looks pretty rad on the actual print.
  • ericjacksonwood on Feb 11, 2010
     
    Does that blue grunge texture softly fade out towards the bottom? It looks like there's a fine edge where the blue grunge ends, which might look a bit wonky on the actual print. And yeah, some texture on the text would be awesome! Looks good though!

    The illustration is fantastic on this one--not a huge fan of the type / paint drips, though.

    Their bassist is in fact a gnarly graphic designer, and does most of their art, but they also use works from other artists'. This was my second tee for them, actually.

    I'm no calling anyone out brother.I was just flipping through and pointed out a similarity, is that so wrong? All you dudes in here get so defensive, form back in your emptees day where everyone was just talking shit on each other. Ah forget it.


    If you were ONLY pointing out color similarity, you wouldn't have typed a response that included an assumptive "hmm" in it. You would have said something more along the lines "I have a shirt using the same colors, kinda funny" instead. Don't be retarded.
  • AMerkison on Feb 27, 2011
     
    dbdesign said: Well, thats a pretty bold assumpition of you, and to tell me what i meant is even more ridiculous. Dont start drama you loser, i was just pointing out a similarity, sorry if it was not worded to your liking, dont be a fucking idiot.

    Shit of this nature pisses me off. Its like you say one thing, and someone always has got something to say to instigate an argument.


    No drama, just pointing out the fact that you were heavily assumptive in your original post, and when Andrew called you out on it, you freaked out. Regardless of what you meant, maybe you should be a tad more careful with your wording, else you come off as calling someone out for no real reason(as more than 1 person clearly felt you did).

    Like I said, your wording got you into this "drama" not anyone else. You didn't have to make the comment about the colors if it wasn't about calling him out...nor did you have to post your piece to justify your reasonings, but you did. Honestly, it's a bit like me saying you ripped one of my designs color schemes, because I also have a design that uses multiple shades of green.

    The reason I said that was because you quoted it, and did make it seem like you were upset about his coloring, whether you were or not. The last thing I want is for this to be like Emptees. There's a lot of people here that don't sleep for 22 hours, don't blame it on that or "argue on your ipad" if you really don't want to.

    "I am no douchebag, nor am i high strung. I just dont appreciate being confronted, when i waas clearly, well, clearly in my eyes not making any accusations of anything. Just simply pointing out a similarity...not sure when that became such a big offense. I said nothing bad regarding his work. You dont need to go and play the hero, my friend. I feel highly entitled to things such a color schemes? Well considering the fact this makes no sense at all, and you are blowing a comment ive made, far out of proportion...you, are the douchebag. so next tim before you feel the need to play the good guy and stand up for someone, while shooting comments directly at me...think again, cause I honestly could not care any less about what you want to assume. Just dont go pointing fingers telling me i am wrong and calling me a douchebag.

    Maybe post some good work before you spout your mouth off, youll gain some respect. Thanks bud."

    No shit, but once again inability to read has gotten you nowhere. But what can I say, being right is hard sometimes. Of course I sent you a PM, in an attempt to stop the squabble in this thread and instead do it in private. Of course, you STILL managed to continue it when you claim you wanted absolutely no drama. I'd venture to say in general, my work is(if only slightly) better received as a whole than yours, and yet you still run off your mouth(but of course as I pointed out, you never actually looked to see if I had posted work before you made your baseless comments, so talking to a brick wall would and probably is more of a dialog than this).

    Oh no, i looked at your work way before u decided to confront me, I just didnt like it at all. I wouldnt venture to say your work is more well received my friend hahaha with those 4 projects with a total of 6 or 7 "favorites" between them... C'mon man, be real..you can think you work is the next best thing for all i care... But lets just keep that to yourself ause no one else seems to be too impressed.

    Thats my last response.
