This might be really blasphemous or something, I don't know, but I know everyone has some decent T shirt ideas that just don't fit here on threadless. SO what I'm wondering is, are there sites that people submit these to? Do you get anything for it? I wanna know, because I have all sorts of dumb ideas to submit at lesser sites...


Did this for fun, check it out. Also, how do you like the placement compared to the one that is in the running now? I think it's easier to look at with them close together.
Finally my marionette design 'Respect' has been submitted and approved... check it out, if you liked it then- well, I hope you still like it. Yeah! Go!

yeah, so let's see those wild outpourings of support! woo! Thanks for all the advice I've gotten on this one. I think it's improved me as well as the design.
what with all the complaining about all these n00bs and lame highschool kiddie types 'ruining' the scoring through sheer weight of numbers, I've got an idea that would probably help:

I realize that this whole thing sucks but I can't think of a good way to keep lots of idiots from messing up scoring without seriously changing the voting portion.My Idea: put heavier weight on someone's score based on:
[ length of membership + (#of designs submitted * avg score of designs submitted/overall average of scores on threadless) + (# of designs scored / 1000) + # of shirts owned by voter + # of gallery photos submitted - time since last activity ] = score weight

... etc. You see, like 'better' members would have more of an effect on the scores, and the hordes of chumps, idiots and losers wouldn't hurt the score much. However I don't think age should factor in. meeeehhhh what does everyone think? There are probably a lot of factors to consider. To threadlesss:
to make computation of weighted scores cheaper it would be similar if each member were assigned a voting tier based on some of those factors, which was calculated occasionally and constituted a rank which could be factored in as one number rather than having to calculate using several variables per score- so you could be a one, two... six star member or whatever, which would determine your vote rank.
I've finally decided to submit this badboy so it's pending now. Everyone get psyched! Woo hoo!

I call dibs on this idea I came up with at work: the title is 'dead drunk' or alternately 'night of the living drunk' with a bunch of zombies walking around drinking and totally obviously drunk. If I see any zombies drinking on submissions anytime soon you're gonna hear from my lawyer. I call my right fist "lawyer".
I don't have time to make this into a design right now, but this is my idea, reserved by me, © 2005 alex kemmler, whatever. The idea is: "analog sucks" expressed however I see fit, probably with a bunch of outdated analog things coupled with the phrase. nobody steal it or I F you up. Also, I don't care what you think of the idea, in case you're some tape-loving, 1980s throwback hippie wannabe audiophile.
Please see my previous posts about this for comparison- but how does this one work? (on maroon this time, for fun.) I might need to adjust the head, but what I'm worried about is : does anything look worse than it could, does anything look "off", is anything unclear, or weird-looking?



Any comments are REALLY appreciated.
I knew this was going to get printed.... glennz!!!
Ok, here is the new version



I have put it on a khaki background for the sake of variety. In my opinion, this version has significantly improved clarity of meaning, and to a lesser extent, realism. What do you think? Here are the old versions:





I really do appreciate comments a lot, so let me know!
