I entered a design of mine into a contest for dollar dollar bills.
If you happen to like it, you should vote for it.
I think I’m over due for winning something, I think that last thing I won was like an ash tray or “pop colthes”, or something else along those lines, from baby shower bingo.
It would be most appreciated.

Aha – a new avenue of opportunity :) – Voted, commented (really like this).
Couldn’t work out where to vote at first then realised it’s a simple ‘cast my vote’ at the top :) unlike Threadless where lots of unscrupulous people obviously vote ‘0’ for competitors!
Will definitely consider submitting here :)
fixtape:
Thanks very much! :D
Glad you’ve found a new avenue as well.

“I think I’m over due for winning something” … that’s art!? Sad!
You don’t deserve to win with that attitude … you don’t create something as a price draw … you create it from your soul because it’s nesessary.
You might was well get those readers with the competition in the back to win some Tupawear if that’s what it’s all about.
Good luck as $1500 is sure a lot of money and I’m sure it will buy you a lot of Tupawear … but at the end of the day, I find your style of design generic, and you sloganeering hackneyed, cliché, trite, unfunny … and … erm … embarrassing. Are you a Copy Writer? A designer? An artist?
I mean who exactly are you?
At the is point you’re probably getting a little furious at this response because the internet is full of people posting stuff that other people agree on – so I will quote you from the late grear Mr Warhol to end with … life your spirits … or maybe not … and I paraphrase:
“forget what the critics say because while they’re all scrambling around to say wheather it’s good art or bad art or what the art means … content yourself busy with make in more art … much more art.”
Unless it’s ego that is?

All that from a guy who traces pictures of famous faces ?!
Matt Simner
Man was that serious? – Did you mean ‘auto’ trace sjem?

bahgoesthesheep

wtf, choke. )

JSArt,
If I were you, I’d be more embarrassed about your means of expressing yourself: artistically, linguistically, and socially.
I can’t tell if you were trying to be funny, ironic, arrogant, or self-righteous; or if your cat was dancing the Macarena on your keyboard while you were taking too many or too few pills.
I doubt we’ll ever know if we have to count on you to explain yourself.
The only advice I can offer is this: if you want to be a pretentious artiste and blather on incoherently about the integrity of art and accuse other people’s work of being generic, you need to back it up with something other than celebrity faces!
As for me, I’m not going to waste any more time wondering about a soul that finds it necessary to put a picture of Charlie Manson on a t-shirt and is compelled to be a pathetic, mean-spirited troll.
That said, I like the Steve Martin shirt because I like Steve Martin and Steve Martin’s face.
Fixtape, I love your work and the design.
Scott Robinson
JsArt, By what right do you think that you`ve got any place to critisize? I took Fixtapes comment as lighthearted jest, surely your response says more about you than it does her.
You find " your style of design generic, and you sloganeering hackneyed, cliché, trite, unfunny … and … erm … embarrassing"..
I think you`d be better of having a good long look at your own work before accussing anyone of any of these thing..
This coming from someone who`s work is totally devoid on any type of concept, that even though you claim is made by hand, could easily be reproduced with a minute or 2 via autotrace, Has not one ounce of originality or thought behind it, and without the photos of the faces your tracing, would be nothing at all?
I didn`t realise someones soul could be full of celebrity faces ripped from google images…as the world screams for another autotraced celebrity.

i think he’s trying to sell Tupawear?
Lucan Industries
Oh, just like the old days.
Let me stretch a second….
Actually fuck it, everyone’s said it all already in a much more serious and professional way, it’s too hot for all that, so let me be frank.
JSArt, you’re a cock, clearly you’re in a bad mood about something, perhaps your pet hamster died, maybe your penis fell off. Leave fixtape to her rallying cry, it’s clearly tongue in cheek, get off your literal bandwagon and go think of another celebrity to filterise with your stolen Adobe software.
Yeah that’s right, we know.

hi fixtape, what’s not to like about the image you submitted? nothing! even if it’s not someone’s cup of tea, it’s still a mighty fine cup of tea…
JSArt… i’m speechless at your gall. rb is not a place to cowardly ambush your peers, peers being the operative word. your shit ain’t my cup of tea, but i don’t drop by and leave such an arrogant comment. i just keep looking for something i like and that inspires me.
keep walkin pal, and fixtape… walk tall.

Great fun! My t-shirts on here aint my art. My art is something completely different … those faces are actually for friends who like something I did ages ago that might fit into a bigger art project if I can be bothered but probably not. I’m not visual artist – i.e. I don’t proport to be an artist in this way … it’s just something I do for a few pennies. And I’m a graphic design who works for money doing bits and bobs.
As for how I create my faces – I don’t auto-trace them, but they dont take me that long – maybe 2-3 hours and yes I use images as source but they’re hand drawn. As you’d see if you’ve ever tried to trace on Vector Magic, Illustrator or what have you. You’d get a completely different result. But I’m not defending it as art at all. Why did everyone presume that was MY ART? If I was creating real art I surely wouldn’t put it up here for people to buy for a few pounds / dollars / euros for everyone to buy.
And to repeat what I originally said – I surely wouldn’t be begging people for votes to win some competition.
What I find interesting about this thread is the fact that people have more to say about me (i.e. more words) than they do about this piece of work. As in, you only really engage your mind, your time and your typing fingers when you’re moved (which in this case is by anger) and not when you’re moved by the work on display.
Art = being moved.
My funny, jokey post was more art than this design. Which leads me to believe that I’m right with my initial thoughts.
If anyone wants to see my real art then send me a bubble mail, if not then just keep on with your mutual back-slapping; happy love-inn.
Love
JSart!

Heh, I reckon I can see the satisfied smug look on your face right now, I can picture you leaning back from your computer, folding your arms and assuring yourself that you’re clearly smarter than everyone here, telling your mum to make you a sandwich and then, er, bubblemailing me to make sure I saw your dopey response.
Let me tear a hole in it for you, firstly Fixtape isn’t looking for discussion here, you have to go to uneetee.com for that, which most of these people have, at least one’s with accounts, secondly tracing is tracing, so it wasn’t autotrace, it was a mouse, or a pen, you still trace things and put them on tees, then abuse the site that you’ve put them on. (I bet you keep your therapist busy) thirdly, randomly attacking people you don’t fucking know with an argument that’s only slightly less solid than piss is not art. I was in Coles the other day and there was a fat wanker being extremely rude to the checkout chick for no apparent reason, so I went and told him he was a fat wanker, seemed fair. I’m pretty fucking sure it wasn’t art.
Are you a fat wanker? You should trace yourself and put it on a tee.
Matt Simner
Personally I think this is all a bit bizarre as the original comment obviously caught everyone out big time. i’d like to think this was all a just monumental ‘lost in translation’ moment, and leave it at that.
Back to the original point – Good luck Fixtape :)

i’ve already said what i had to say. glad you came back to see if you stirred some shit… well done.

LOL AT LUCANS LAST COMMENT!!!! HEHE

‘Are you a fat wanker? You should trace yourself and put it on a tee.’ – Lucan
-——————-This is me you can judge whether I’m fat or not from that and I’m always one step ahead …. innit.
Lucan Industries
I can’t tell from that if you’re fat, anyway, I don’t care, the wanker bit was the important part, and you proved that last week, so yes, you are always ahead of the curve, well done.

Despite the bollocks which has occured over what was otherwise a delightful weekend, I’m playing Canada.
Fixxy, M’dear, that is one hot piece you have there. I love the texture and the layers, even down to the bubble wand font! The vibrant aqua as a backdrop to the Red, White and black is captivating and fresh. Makes me want to buy super minty toothpaste and pick up hot indie boys.
Pardon Moi, I have to go vote for Missy Fixxy.

Thanks very much.
You sure exude a certain type of wondrous positivity.
