congrats! first place and second are really awesome, but what happend to those cool tattoo-style shirts? I’d have bought one of those.
Congrats all, I had a feeling bartondamer & iconblast would win. Mr. Rocks gets slighted again!
congrats to all the winners. looks like Lil Wayne’s peeps did a pretty good job on picking the winners…..
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yay,Really Lil wayne has a good taste. (b8r than kol ,)
I think the winner was well done and 3rd place was decent. But I dont think Lil Wayne would even wear any of the above T-shirts. This looks like styles of winners that people on threadless wear, not true fans. I would be surprised if Threadless even makes any money off these shirts because I dont think alot of fans would wear these let alone purchase em.

Wrong website sir!
I personally think the styles chosen signify a variety of tastes..sorry they didn’t meet your taste. I personally think the black panther design is a very creative concept and nicely done…plus wayne probably thought it too, if not, probably wouldn’t have got picked. Fourth was very creative in his/her use of color and how the print should look on the t. First place reminds of some spaced out crazy music video stuff….or like the intro to “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory” show haha..great detail!….much props to all! Don’t hate…congratulate.
Great variety. Glad to see that these got picked. Congrats LW winner’s. All winners submitted quality work.
Nice stuff! Iconblasts piece definitely fits the bill well. It’s on point with the streetwear illustration style and looks amazing. Great work to everyone!
congrats to the winners!
they are are really good. voted for all of them =]
there was one with over 300 votes i thought was going to win.. guess not
anyways.. are these up for sale?
again much much luv and props to contestants and winners! Bartondamer enjoy that concert man! You know you’ll be getting a good show! just finished uploading! enjoy peeples!
Congrats to the winners. All 4 are well deserved, I gave votes to 3 of these. As far as merchandise goes, these designs will sell like hot cakes. Congrats again. It was a fun comp to follow, and contribute too.
Thanks for the positive comments too from fluentsword and thestray.
the winners of these contests lately have been a bit disappointing, although the 1st place winner is nice, not my style tho.
Highly disappointed! Maybe 95% of the entries missed what the contest was about. Can’t believe that…nothing against the designers..but the designs aren’t that good.
I can understand some of the previous contests, but this contest… all the winners are bangin! You guys are crazy.
i dig the first one in this.
but did he choose the winner?
did the KOL contest even get picked by the band?
i dont think anyone ever answered that . . .
I wouldn’t wear any of these (and not just because I don’t care about lil wayne), but as what will inevitably become concert tees go, they’re pretty strong. A marked improvement over the incredibly embarrassing KOL selections

It was answered. The band chose. They didn’t choose very wisely though, haha. I don’t know about this one though.
Congratulations to all the winners!! you guys rock! haha any consolation prize? hihihi just kiddin.
Congrats to the 4…but come on now! I’m kinda disappointed. Does anyone listen to Lil Wayne?!?! You mean to tell me that the above designs stem from listening to his music. ha lol 3rd place is the most decent one. I’m not discrediting the designers. So nothing personal. Just think the designs didn’t quite measure up to what the contest was about. I appreciate the post though Cheeto. Again, congrats to the 4 winners and all the best!
Yeah i messed up the site name, but whatever. Im active in voting for both sites and it was a Monday. No I do not submit designs, so I am not salty that I didnt win. I am not trashing any of the designers, Im bashing the person who chose the winners. I would highly doubt it was lil wayne and if it was he was probably too busy drinking his cough syrup to actually care. You can tell who the real lil wayne fans are, posting in response to the winners. And to the person saying these shirts will sell like hot cakes, is just rediculous. Id like to see the numbers in a month from the sales, but it’s not going to happen so whatever.
Ok, the t-shirts aren’t bad, but seriously, I just lost so much respect for Design by Humans. Why on earth are you doing a contest involving lil wayne?? I thought this site was cool, artistic and different, but apparently you just follow the lame mainstream bullshit and listen to ridiculously bad music.
Regardless who the contest was about…the judging was poor! If someone told me that all I had to do for my first DBH contest was put a cat and some words on a shirt and be a winner…then doubt I’d be posting a comment. BUT…that didnt happen for me or the other cool designs. DBH is a fresh site and I like what they have going on. However, it seems like designs were done by humans and judged by robots.

You’ve got it all wrong treebee. The DBH music series is about all music and all artists from different genres. That’s why it’s called the “music series”, not the “what treebee listens to series”. I hope you can grasp the true meaning of the music series contests without being so judgmental as to who the artist is. I guess you’ll just have to wait for music series contest of your liking.

I’m pretty sure that the choices were made by Lil’ Wayne’s people, and I think they understand the fans pretty well. At least, I’d hope they do. Either way his official merchandise and web design are pretty terrible, so whether or not you or I like these, they certainly are better than what Wayne has now. I also don’t think you’re giving iconblast due credit. That’s a very well crafted graphic and smart composition. Conceptually it’s not a brain-buster, but I think that’s applicable to the artist. Lil’ Wayne doesn’t exactly wax philosophical in his music.
In order to voice your opinion and be taken seriously, one must A) get an avatar, B) submit a design and actually participate in the contest , C)say something that’s actually relevant
I have no problem with the 1st, 2nd, and 4th designs, but the 3rd place is really disappointing.
The design is an amateurish version of the work that people like Arrow put out regularly. The type is just masked under a template of Lil’ Wayne and then cut out. It cuts through all of the letters and really has no relation to the fonts or text used. Sure the copy was from stuff about Lil’ Wayne, and sure its his portrait, but really? Deserving of winning? I don’t think so.
Not to mention that, but the most annoying thing about this is who DBH is supporting by printing that shirt. If you’ll look at the artists thread in voting, he reacts to criticism of his design in a really immature way. Using a homosexual insult to get back at one commenter. DISGUSTING. Not to mention most of the good comments, and probably votes, were from people who just joined with nor profile and said awesome things about the design the creator is always putting out (with only 2 other designs on the site).
Sorry, but that 3rd place choice is really a slap in the face to artists in this community IMHO.
congrats to the winners
