I would need a minimum of 40 people at $20 US a piece to pull off
20 of each design, the shipping to all points melvinoid could make it a losing venture sadly,
as much as i love me some graphic designing! god its a good business, if you can stay
relevant, and if you HAVE TALENT
Does this board have 40 active members?

Solution: We all buy one of each.

For 20 bucks I'm in, of course I pay for the shipping costs as well. I'm sure Rembrandt is up for this as well, I'll ask him when he's stoned, maybe I will right now. Or tonight, or tomorrow morning. I'm not too sure about zium, but I'll buy him one for his birthday. Heck, maybe I'll buy both shirts, one for the weekdays, one for the weekend.

That's three already from such a small country as the Netherlands, I hope this isn't gonna be a problem.

ingrid...(i know your name now)
why don't you start submitting some of your own?

you is good.

i don't mean to rain on the parade, but i don't really like the ULTRA-graphic look of this.  it's very obvious that it was made on a computer, you know?  the design is fine, but i think this type of thing just looks a little thrown together and rushed.....there's no detail.
i think it should be a high-quality line drawing, like an etching, or some sort of pen and ink. 
i know someone is going to say, "well if you think that's such a great idea, why don't you do it yourself?!"
to which i'd reply, "OK"

i'm no good at coming up with ideas, but i think i'm decent on execution, as far as ink drawings are concerned. 

hit me with some ideas and i'll try to sketch some stuff up.

(mine was a joke)
klump has a great idea for a shirt though, we'll see if we can make a sketch of it.
thanks for the confidence, but i don't really have much time for extra work right now,
i'm pretty loaded with school stuff. (two magazines and a campaign),
but there are 3409234 other great designers at this board!

maybe if i get bored one day (more like everyday) i'll make a suggestion as well :)

I'd say it's more influenced by the Japanese artist Yumiko and her pencil sketches, but I'd like to
think I've used that inspiration and taken it up to a whole new level, especially with the line
weights, digital composition, color choice and the placement of the typography. particularly the 'i' in
snivlem falling right over the dog's rectal opening. an accidental, but oh so perfect placement
that pays homage to the 20th anniversary shirt in an odd way. Thanks for your input.

that ones great conda, it could have been a butthole surfers shirt as well :)
haha, anonymous, i'll buy two! thats a nice slim fit shape as well. or is it a fat man shirt? does it come with a bra (or maybe a BRO)?
