brainboxz said: Thx for the comment and vote, really appreciate that :)
No problem, that’s what dbh is all about right? ;)
thanks for your support i am really gratefull for that ^^ i will have a look at your work:)
Thank you for the vote and kind words :)
I checked out ol’ ape dog and had a good laugh. hot mess. you have my vote!
best of luck to you too !
Valid point. I had actually planned on using a skateboard but it just didn’t work out the way I wanted. Plus I figured it also helps fund recreational programs, not just skateboarding. The surfboard concept just better portrayed the statement I was trying to make which was for my design to symbolize the pursuit of ones dreams, to follow your passions no matter what whether surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, designing t-shirts or accounting. You will never truly be happy until you do because it’s not so much about being successful in those dreams, but the honest pursuit that will give you the satisfaction you will be searching for later in life. In short" Life is less about finding the perfect wave, than it is about enjoying the search."……..does that make sense?
Please take a look at my new Design. If you have time I would like to hear what you have to say… If you like, Help-me.

Thanks!!!

diegostrikesback said: great man, i want to see more of your designs=)
Thanks! I want to post more! Haha. I’m planning some more designs. So stay tuned.
thanks for the comment on my design. ive never done it before and only entered it because of the band. what application am i best using, and preferably one that wont cost much?

No problem. If you plan on doing more design in the future, I’d recommend first developing your skills before you start buying programs, because a lot of the stuff is super expensive (some people pirate it on the internet though). If you just did the design as a one time thing because you like the band, and art/design isn’t something you’re really serious about, I wouldn’t worry about buying anything.
Places like Kinkos will let you use photoshop on their computer thoughs. Don’t know if they have that where you are.
thanks a ton for your critique of my Waiting design. Sometimes I wonder if my lack of popularity here makes it hard for people to find my designs. Im certainly glad you found, and liked it.

No problem. Lots of good designs get buried here sometimes. Yours is definitely one of my favorites. If you ever get it printed let me know.
awww thank you so much !! I would be so excited to win this because they are one of my favorite bands. That was really cool of you to check on.
I really want your ape dog to win, I know plenty of guys (and girls) that would think it was a great t-shirt. Are you working on any new designs?
hope your day is wonderful :)
Hi! I put my design for KoL on a red shirt like you commented.
Please do check out
http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/48235 and vote and comment if you like. Thanks :).
I’m glad that I rickrolled you !
For the blog updates, we’re trying to keep a 5 posts/week speed, we don’t post on weekends for the moment.
voted u dude…..that design wit a big hand is cute……
man i hav a problem ,i tried to upload a new profile picture,its not working ….:(….do u know whts da reason?
i tried 6 times,showing same old photo….now disappear all pics….this must be a technical fault
Have you checked to make sure it’s the right size and filetype? I really have no idea without seeing for myself.
oh the tape, well about 4 years ago, i was in a charette style contest put on by the LAIAC (los angeles interior architecture council—a branch of the AIA, american institute of architects). we had 5 hours to create and present our interior architectural solution, and thanks to the tape, we had a series of models, made in a matter of minutes, that set us apart from the other 60 or so contestants…and we ended up winning $6000.
Thanx man…..i done everything in correct standard….the foto took 10 minutes to appear….something like that…Cheers….Appreciate ur support,hav a grt day
hey ho,
you`ve nice designs they are so “like kids paint”
don`t understand it wrong! i like this style because its remember on the old skool surf/skate graphics!
so have a nice day!
antigravity!
Hey thanks for the comment :D
the gorilla is a vector freebie that I download
from a site and then I decided to make this so I hope you like it =D!!!!
hey, um you got some sick music on your myspace- you should check out http://www.indabamusic.com/community and get your stuff seen there too! hit me up if you do
of coarse I really wanted it, those designs will be world wide….Heres the thing, ‘track record’ includes all the hits, which the tour is about, it also is a unisex design, many mac fans and fans of the art itself said it was their favorite and for young and old, also it features the current band, how else is it suppose to “fit” the band?
I think it’s easy to say there will be other opportunities. But you are right, there will be.
haha I sound like a little kid who didn’t get his way,
I’m done now, back to work.
hi there mate, i like your design keep it up okey!, and good luck, wish you get print soon
CHEERS!
Right. Like I said somewhere in that giant thread, I totally agree with him that copyrighted works shouldn’t be used unless you have a clear title to use it (and back to the original point of the thread, people should read and abide by the rules DBH posts – but DBH also has duties and liabilities too).
Beyond that though, he got all preachy, he was trying to be the police of DBH, he was being extremely arrogant, and his view of the online art and design world and people who should be able to participate was extremely narrow and the exact opposite of what I imagine places like DBH are trying to facilitate. Not to mention he couldn’t actually show anyone one single thing he’s specifically done outside of DBH to try and give himself any credibility for why he should get to run his mouth like he did.
It looks like he’s given up or taken a break from “policing” DBH, at least for now.
Great work you have here check my first one and if you like show some love voting thanks!!! : )P http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/49844
If there was a most designs submitted in the shortest amount of time you’d definitely take home that honor, haha. It seems like you have a new one up every day.
what does it mean_? i can do what i want.maybe i have done it before?
minimart said: I really like your curious creatures. What will you do next?
Thanks. Next I’ll probably do something non-animal related, but still in the realm of badassery.
JEFF!!!!!!!
haha
So Im working on some designs, i just hope they be awesome or interesting, maybe funny.
Oh yeah Love the Rey T-shirt you got.
haha.. yeah It did seem a bit sketchy to me.. I laughed when I saw it actually. I dunno though.. I think it’s legit. I doubt they’d do that on here…right?!
hahha yeah, I will change my avatar that I have before dont like the new one too much
thanks for your first comment and wrighting back to my comment to you. i have honestly never been apart of a “art community” im not sure what it is like. i was just used to art classes but i wanted to maybe get to some level in trying new things. i gotta admit some of the things you said did come off a little strong but i really respect that you voiced your opinion and didnt flat out say no or this is the worst idea/picture ever wich you very well could have done but you didnt. im sure i didnt pick the right time to experiment and probably went a little too far with it but hey i saw the opportunity and took it. anyways thanks
nah its fine. im just sometimes take offense easy. im really trying to work on that.
Haha, I know it was kind of backhanded. I just don’t like that blue color. The concept and the design itself is just all kinds of awesome. Good luck!
Thx again for the support on my freak…and it’s on the front…just me that don’t have the front template so I put it on the back :( Thx again
It’s cool.
I voted your design.
I made new design artwork yesterday. Your comment and vote are welcome.
Would you check out
My new design
Hey man..hows going…about my “Kois in Heaven” design…at first would be only the front with de big carp, but i wanna make a front/back design a long time ago…so a came with this idea, to put more than one element, and pass the levity feeling on the shirt..its like the kois were floating all over the tee…but thankx for the coment..i appreciate that ^^
hows the 3 headed bear?
oh and how about the fact that the Kings of Leon winner still hasn’t been announced and it’s now a week later… grr.
no i dont promote anything it was jus concept for one company but they dont like it. If DBH will chose it and ask me to delete ocr change text its no problem
well buddy, your broke the news to me. I hadn’t seen it yet. wow. really? seriously? I’m not trying to be rude but the only one I agree on is the 2nd place winner. I feel like this was a big joke. I don’t even know how I should feel about this.
:(
I haven’t posted on eatpoo in years. I used to lurk there constantly, when I was younger. I stopped for a while, and for whatever reason, that forum seemed to shrink in size by the time I got back to it.
I donno if EP will ever restore to its former glory. Its seems like CA.org really took over the forum population of concept artists. If you’re ever looking for a small, insanely blunt/critical community, though, I recommend Penny Arcade’s forum. The crits are sometimes harsh, but always pretty honest and helpful.
Thank u so much for ur cool comments Thestray,appreciated alot .
Added u as my favourite Artist too.Hav a grt day!
Cheers

have a good one man!
Thank you so much Thestray .. Appreciated ur feedback ,just now I emailed :)
Hav a grt day!
cheers
ups sorry if I am wrong about anywho in this site, bytheway thanks for your attention.
To thestray:
I just wanted to say that things got out of hand a bit over the past few days. I’ve had time to digest, think and regroup. I’m totally for creativity and will continue to support the artists as well as this site. Let the past be the past. I even went as far as apologizing to jimiyo for anything “negative” that I may have said. I believe you are a stand up guy and this is a great company (probably the best t-shirt site out there based on my observations and perusal of the multitude of sites) and I plan on sticking around and buying t-shirts that I like on here. I may even submit more in the future. Anyway, I hope we can move forward in a positive way.
Thanks,
BenjaminPhantom
Hey Maing tanks for the vote! I hope it gets printed I’m running out of money for laundry :)
I get my tee templates from gomedia it costs about 50 for a package if i remember correctly
hi stray, thanks for the advice, I checked with my lawyer. He adviced me to delete the post. Because they could use it against me.
Thanks, kayse
Hey, which design was the one who just got deleted? The one people are talking about in the “Dear Spammers” thread. I’m not sure I got to see it, and I am curious..
You are welcome Thestray" Best of luck for ur Umibozu" design,Its really artsy Tee..
Cheers bro.
Thanks! :D I love the vibrant colours you use in your designs. bright colours ftw!
Hey bro, if i were to get a new photoshop, which version should i get. I dont think i want illustrator cause i got the free trial and it’s confusing! Do you know the version jimiyo has in his tutorials, that one seems good.
thanks for the support :)
My new one : http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/60931
Haha That’s awesome! Tell her thank you for me and that if she votes for me, and it eventually prints, I’ll send her one on the house. :D
I got it. Check teefury. Oh man, were you gonna get me a free one? Haha! I’d rather pay and let you get the credit anyway.
dude whatever happened to that skull design you did on teal? i really want it.. did you sell it somewhere?
you might want to try www.topfeuds.com …the site went live a few weeks ago so most of the current designs that are up for vote are shit.. and you get i think 10% per shirt sold. its worth a try if you get tired of waiting. teextile is another one that i think might print that..
Love ya thestray bro :) Today I recieved my 1st cool job related to Tee design ,awe seems like a happy happy day.. :) they found me via krop … thanks man
Cheers
No problem =) Your work is awesome it deserves to be noticed. Good luck I hope you move on to the top 4!
