      <body>then maybe your company's workers or employees should make it personal and call out 80% of the designers on here, then to post this as if youre going to get some kind of support after they've openly bashed us. Respect? HA, good luck with the sale.</body>

      <body>You're going to make a blanket statement about everyone that works for the company if ONE of the employees happens to use his right to free speech on his own personal profile?  I guess I just don't see the fairness in that.

I can't say how I feel about the trend itself, but there are several zombie/gore/illustration heavy designs that I personally love, so I just don't see how this is a constructive debate.

We can still have respect for each other and be in disagreement, I don't see what's so hard about that.  Not to mention, it's called Emptees, not "Zombie-love gore-fest".

      <body>I've had a conversation with them already, and one of them worked for Traditiona.  They have a right to say what they like and what they don't like.

I'm not getting defensive with you, but it seems like you're coming at me here with no other intention but to tear us down.  We don't want your money.  If you like it and support it, by all means pitch in and get something in return.

I guess I really just don't see your angle.  I even LIKE some of your designs, but your attitude is really turning me off.  If you have a problem with Micah, take it up with him, don't make it a business affair.  Yes I work with him and he's one of my best friends, but I don't agree with him on everything either.  And that's completely fine with me.

If you want to claim that this is an undead shirt design gala, then maybe it should have said that when I signed up.  I understand many people here love that, and that's great.  Do you think there's something wrong with someone going against the grain though?

      <body>As an owner of Traditiona I will say this:

It was not the intention of anyone that is part of, or associated with our company to discredit your talent or God given right to create the type of tee shirts that you want to create.

I thought that the purpose of this website was for constructive criticism and for people to share their artwork.  At any rate, we should be celebrating the differences in one another's designs and realize that we are all alike in a common goal that we equally love producing art and sharing it with as many people as possible.

We are not asking for your money.  This thread is not forcing you to go to our website, but simply was made to inform people that might take an interest in our company. If someone happens to purchase something, then we are happy to have your support.  Thank you.

I feel the same way.  I think it makes it hard to pay attention to what's good because the market's just flooded.  There are a lot of competent designers that post on Emptees, I think what Micah was trying to say was that he'd like to see something new from those folks that are in their comfort zones.
