Here's a silly concept for the harvest derby- from water to wine- evolution of cannonball. A bored pilgrim decides to take a plunge into a vat of grapes. Comments needed.
It's called "Relax, pilgrim!"

Just found an EXCELLENT website for converting sketches to illustrator. I've been learning this on my own, but this is a nice summary of the pencil sketch to finished illustration. Also, I'm posting this just so I can remember it later :)
Well, guess the entry for shirtfight did get entered, scored a 1.8 with 9 votes, so it died a quiet death. Ah well, maybe I should have really tried. Maybe next time. However, I am working on another silly shirt.woot design, if I can just get it submitted
One of my better designs has been submitted at Threadless, where I assume it will do well. I also wasted about 30 minutes making a real nice flash presentation...
When the above link goes live, I'd appreciate any votes!
Don't know if it's accepted as of yet, but I just subbed my first design there. It's an old one from the shirt.woot derby for "slogans" but I really liked it. Here are some comps, to give you a flavor.
This week's derby is "blue", so I did blue ice. I got this from my time in chemistry class- methane ice is a snowball that can burn! So cool. I added a heart and made it a pocket size to sell the concept further. If you have a shirt woot vote, give it a +1 if you like it! Feel free to comment too...
The paying job is a professor of Neuroscience at a small undergraduate college in the northeast. The unpaying job is art and t-shirt design. At least, it doesn't pay MUCH. But it sure is fun!
