   if we’re going to do this we need to at least do it legit. I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I don’t really trust you running this.

   not only that.. but 50 shirts? one colour? putting up money?

   also.. who takes the $ on sales?

   this needs to be thought through quite a bit more.. seems like you just sort of jumped into it off the bat.

   Here’s what should happen:

   Someone needs to collect and organize 50 artists for the design, and determine a palette and a theme for the artists to adhere to. Then, one artist should be assigned the task of organizing it on the shirt. Then the design would be posted here and sold or submitted to one of the larger contests (10k would make sense) and the money divvied up to the contributors.

   No one’s going to want to design a shirt and then front the cash for it to be printed, because the good designers here aren’t that desperate to see their stuff on a tee...

   also having 50 people add to a 1 color design is going to turn into a huge mess

    It would be cool if instead of getting money. The prize winnings are used to buy a bunch of cool prizes that everyone decides on and we do a raffle where the first person chosen picks what prize they want.

    Hahaha... I’m jumping the gun a little here

    Why not just do a presale and print what is sold?

    That way there doesn’t have to be any up front cost, and anyone can buy a shirt.

    Boom.
    I’m also unsure about the almost zero contrast purple on black.
    I wish this thread could be a little more positive but it does seem a bit half-hatched.

    O.K
    so Ill take the money up front heat bc I didn’t think we had someone like Jimmy that would do a print of w/e was ordered and was going to work threw my printer out of nyc.
    O.k so yea we might be Nooobs but you gotta set the chance up for us to prove that we can do it!
    Jimmy you are a god its that simple.
    Still think the Sunday sept.7th deadline should stand.
    Jimmy would you like to take this one by the horns?

    Why don´t we just get back what we put in plus one tee each and the rest should go to a good cause! It´ll take me 30 mins to draw a small zombie animal. Charity bitches do you do it?

    gaunty said 2 months ago

    Yeah I´m in as long as a veteran emptees dude like Jimmy is in charge.

22. 

    4Sevens said 2 months ago

    I still say purple on black for 50 small drawings is a poor plan. Please consider a higher contrast combo.

    mitchbones said 2 months ago

    Why not have something similar to that one tee by frenden, where everyone draws a small portrait of another designer in their own style?

    downrodeo said 2 months ago

    Count me in, and let me know peeps.

    I was thinking even do self portraits
    idk
    I vote jimmy in charge.
    Lets clear the boards but make sure this happens.
    maybe to give this more of a design once we have everyone signed up see if we can group maybe 10 artists per shirt(depends if jimmy wants to do all that work)

    There is a logo collab tee - with a bunch of logos on it in the works here:

    http://emptees.com/posts/7155-emptees-logo-collab-tee

    I think it would be cool to do a shirt with just "Zombies" since everyone on here is so addicted to them.

    Then, if anyone wants to do animal zombies, they can.

    Let’s set these guidelines - your zombie must consist of no more than 3 colors, and fill AT LEAST top to bottom of a 6"x6" canvas at 300 dpi. Keep in mind that it might shrink down a little, so super small details might not show through in the final print. The colors that you make your zombie should be highly contrasting (ex. Magenta, Blue, Black) but the colors you choose might not necessarily be the final color that your zombie is printed.

    Email your zombie with the subject "ZOMBIE SHIRT" to jimmy@heartcoreclothing.com if you want your zombie on the shirt.

    I think what we should do is presale them to everyone, but have a special page where the artists can get theirs for like $3 or something - that way the sales of the shirt basically go into giving back to the people who contributed. It seems like it would get kind of messy trying to divide up the profits for something like this.

    you guys probably missed this from the other thread, id just hang tight, i think matt and eric have an idea of what they want to do.

    ihearithurts said: Hey guys.. we really appreciate everyone’s interest in this. It’s motivated us to do something for the 1 year anniversary of Emptees which is on the 27th of this month. We’ll be posting something "official" about the collab in the next few hours or so after we can hammer out a few ideas on our end.

    For sure. I love doing the GP projects like the coloring book and stuff, knowing Clay is getting the dough.
