Recently, as a community we made the decision to flag and remove shirts that we feel are not up to par for various reasons. If your shirt is deleted, don’t re-submit it until you have taken a considerable amount of time to change the submission. It has either been flagged for removal by the members, or removed by the site staff. In short, don't re-upload it! There are literally thousands of threads, and thousands of shirt designs for you to use as a reference. If you’re interested in getting feedback, submit your shirt as "in progress". If you don’t, and it gets taken down however, don’t repost something ten times without making any perceivable changes to it -- even if it is finally marked "in progress". You also shouldn’t expect that everyone is going to tell you, "Hey man, you need to change this, this, and this," about your submission. If it gets removed, take some time to look at it and figure out what you think you can improve on it before you re-submit it. We aren’t going to hold your hand through it, we have already put enough signs up that you should be able to figure it out. 2009-12-11T20:57:27-05:00 0 2009-12-11T20:57:27-05:00 true 0 108381 true true 59851 4 2010-02-09T12:13:24-05:00 2819 We know you're excited to get your questions answered or to try and sell that old design of yours, but before you do, here's a few official threads that we request that you use and reference before posting.

What it will have is a few designs from some of the artists that have helped with MBNBD. From Gaunty, Wotto, Greg Abbott, Ez-Kun and a few others. I'm thinking of making it about 10-12 pages so I need about 6 or 8 more coloring pages. I'm giving these out for Free to Elementary's that are starting Anti-Bullying Clubs in there schools & some that I will be speaking at. I'll probably be getting them ready for print in April. The designs don't have to be custom or new. I would prefer it be old designs/characters, music related, cute style or background scenery that maybe you already used or has not been picked up. Funny & positive characters you guys have come up with that kids can color and enjoy :) I'll probably make some puzzles out of them as well. I'm sorry that I can't pay you guys for this but I will definitely send you copies of the coloring book and your name & information will be in the coloring book as Artist's/Ilustrators Against Bullying. Email me | mbnbd@hotmail.com if interested :) Thank you guys! 2010-02-09T11:50:02-05:00 25 2010-01-29T13:52:17-05:00 true 0 123081 false false 7574 13561 1 2010-02-09T11:56:05-05:00 655 1.With Life In Mind 2.Continuance 3.More Than Life 4.Our Last Night 5.Minus the Bear 2010-02-09T11:43:15-05:00 94 2010-02-06T05:41:10-05:00 true 0 125221 false false 8844 7534 1 2010-02-09T11:51:29-05:00 1382 Was just wondering if I could got get some general feedback about my current line and <a href="http://www.skegits.com/">website</a>.

Some of you may remember me from last year, shamelessly canvassing for votes in the Threadless design of the year vote.

We reached an agreement on the price of the project and I paid him half immediately. He said he would get back to me with a sketch by the next night. 4 to 5 anxious days go by. Then he finally sent a sketch, but it looked like he threw it together in 2 minutes just to send something. We talk about alterations and he said he will make revisions and get it back to me a day later... it's been over a week and I have not heard from him yet! Why do designers make good PAYING clients wait?
