I think it should be a situation of submitting your one best design, not flooding the place with a ton of them. 47581 Post 2009-07-01T10:43:55-04:00 1416501 1661 2009-07-01T10:43:55-04:00 <blockquote><cite>justgeoff said:</cite> It's a cool contest but I just don't like how people can submit an unlimited number of designs.

Maybe same this year, only if inspiration hits me really hard:) But is fun to watch. There will be blood - again. 47581 Post 2009-07-01T10:51:23-04:00 1416631 3912 2009-07-01T10:51:23-04:00 did collision ever even get the money? it seemed like a lot of time passed before he did from when he won 47581 Post 2009-07-01T10:59:11-04:00 1416761 1271 2009-07-01T10:59:11-04:00 oh man.. i dunno if i can let myself go through all that stress again. <blockquote><cite>{miles to go} said:</cite> did collision ever even get the money? it seemed like a lot of time passed before he did from when he won</blockquote> i did man! it was seed money for my baby clothing biz with my wife. =) 47581 Post 2009-07-01T11:05:48-04:00 1416841 1259 2009-07-01T11:06:33-04:00 <blockquote><cite>collisiontheory said:</cite> oh man.. i dunno if i can let myself go through all that stress again. <blockquote><cite>{miles to go} said:</cite> did collision ever even get the money? it seemed like a lot of time passed before he did from when he won</blockquote> i did man! it was seed money for my baby clothing biz with my wife. =)</blockquote> which is a nice one :) seen them 47581 Post 2009-07-01T11:08:17-04:00 1416851 3912 2009-07-01T11:08:17-04:00 only 10K. not worth my time 47581 Post 2009-07-01T11:18:27-04:00 1417011 2186 2009-07-01T11:18:27-04:00 <blockquote><cite>collisiontheory said:</cite> oh man.. i dunno if i can let myself go through all that stress again. <blockquote><cite>{miles to go} said:</cite> did collision ever even get the money? it seemed like a lot of time passed before he did from when he won</blockquote> i did man! it was seed money for my baby clothing biz with my wife. =)</blockquote> oh yeah, i should of remembered. hope thats going well. 47581 Post 2009-07-01T11:19:35-04:00 1417051 1271 2009-07-01T11:19:35-04:00 We also have a bit of Rockstar info posted now too. In correlation to the contest, if you can get in the semi finals, it really does boost your visibility online, which helps to reach Rockstar or get printed elsewhere. CT's designs ended up getting alot of press, which I believe helped him get printed Everywhere, like TL, Uneetee, and shirt.woot.com. http://www.designbyhumans.com/forums/show/536763 <img src="http://www.designbyhumans.com/downloads/rockstar600.jpg" /> 47581 Post 2009-07-01T12:12:55-04:00 1418271 2865 2009-07-01T12:12:55-04:00 I did one last year but at the last second I forgot to select the 10k and it went into the daily contest never to be seen again. 47581 Post 2009-07-01T12:20:27-04:00 1418511 506 2009-07-01T12:20:27-04:00 <blockquote><cite>quakerninja said:</cite> I did one last year but at the last second I forgot to select the 10k and it went into the daily contest never to be seen again.</blockquote> ouchhh 47581 Post 2009-07-01T12:24:35-04:00 1418661 3912 2009-07-01T12:24:35-04:00 start sketching! 47581 Post 2009-07-01T12:38:11-04:00 1419191 2985 2009-07-01T12:38:11-04:00 So, it's over it seems.

I mean how many really deserve 10k? I know there are some, but I expected more, and more diversity. WHat I did not like was that many tried to remake Black Hole Sun. 47581 Post 2009-07-27T14:41:31-04:00 1767291 3912 2009-07-27T14:41:31-04:00 My design crashed and burned, but that's not surprising considering the standard. 47581 Post 2009-07-27T14:44:40-04:00 1767311 2991 2009-07-27T14:53:44-04:00 <blockquote><cite>collisiontheory said:</cite> no BRC this year? no jimiyo too..</blockquote> They did singular entries it seems. Mr Rocks has a strong piece. I don't know the others.

Is it just me or last year the competition was stronger?</blockquote> I'm almost inclined to agree but I've seen so many artists that have stepped up and even though I don't have a clear favorite (besides my own lol) I think it's a great collection! I had a killer wrap around design but I wasn't able to finish it due to client obligations over last few days...if only I had like 2 more days...*sigh* I guess the one I have up now will hold me hopes for my first top 20 birth. :) 47581 Post 2009-07-27T15:47:13-04:00 1768071 8199 2009-07-27T15:47:13-04:00 <blockquote><cite>hyperhyphen said:</cite> Yes they are all many cool wearable tees. but for that there is the TOD right?
