“Wrong Rabbit”
I’m back and I bring you all new are. Here’s a design for woot’s “Literary Classics” derby. A riff on Alice in Wonderland, Alice chases the rabbit again but this one is a little different. I don’t think she’ll like the surprise. =D
Ugh, so my “Fun house reflections” design has been in the fog (the top nine where you can’t see how many votes you have) every since the derby opened this week. THIS time I got the design in at the beginning of the derby.
Much like two weeks ago with my “Life Cycle of Caterpillar”(It ended in 4th, sadly though it was 4 votes ahead of 5th so thanks everyone!) I’m just not sure if I have enough votes to place in the top three so if any of you guys out there can vote, please log in and give me one. =D Or if you can’t vote(You have to have purchased one thing from woot to be able to vote in the derbies) spread the word! Tell a friend! The voting last until this Thursday at noon, about 24 hours.

I’m crossing my fingers on this one.
Thankfully I also have a Daily shirt for woot coming up at some point because these derbies are playing with my heart. =/ It’s a dinosaur shirt.
Woooo, So my “Life Cycle of a Caterpillar” design has been in the fog (the top ten where you can’t see how many votes you have) at Shirt.woot ever since Saturday night. Which I’m super excited about but I’m just not sure if I have enough votes to place in the top three so if any of you guys out there can vote, please log in and give me one. =D Or if you can’t vote(You have to have purchased one thing from woot to be able to vote in the derbies) spread the word!

Eeeeeeee, I’m so excited.
Wooooo, I’m going to get on a plane today for New York Comic Con. I have no idea what to expect and since it’s just a con for me to wander around and relax I feel uneasy and weird. LOL, the last con I was going to go and relax at, Animefest, I didn’t even manage to get to. Worries. Gah, and it’s going to be cold there so I’ll have to pack my tiny amount of warm clothing.
I should hopefully run into people I know and get to talk to them. Excitement!
I’ll be staying out in New York for an extra week after the con since that was the cheapest plane ticket I could get and my friend out there was very nice to give me a place to stash myself for sleeping. I’m packing some of the manga I couldn’t sell off in Texas to sell to a used bookstore in New York called “Book Off”. I went to them in Japan when I visited and they do have them in the states. I can’t dump this much Japanese manga at a normal used book store so I’m hoping that they’ll buy back this stuff so I won’t have it in my house.
I’ll still be able to get to the internet out there so I should still randomly update.
I’ve been reading a bunch of manga on the internet. I read through all of “Initial D” and really like it. The scanlations stop at book 7 and someone scanned the Tokyopop versions of it up to book 15. They are horrible. Between the typewriter font for square boxed writing (which varies from a character’s thoughts to machine specs of a car), to the characters saying things that are completely out of character, and the added American slang and names… I had a hard time with them.
Needless to say even if I wanted to pick up the English version of the series I probably would rather get them in Japanese and not know what was going on. =/ At least I could enjoy the art, as weird as that is on “Initial D” it’s sort of an old school style though it’s grown on me a lot.
I am amused that “Initial D” is 15 years old and 40 books long… but only a year of real time has passed in the manga. It’s roughly 1996 in the manga but the artist has kind of waved their hands and just gone ahead and included some stuff, like tiny cell phones, that make me think it’s not strictly 1996. The cars are really awesomely drawn in the book. I checked out some other street racing books and honestly the cars seem to be the tough point for a lot of artists. I didn’t realize how good they looked until I compared it to others.
It’s a fun series and I’m not big on street racing or cars honestly. But I really like the set up for the main character and enjoy that he’s generally not a cocky asshole or the awesomely over talented beginner. LOL. The anime has much more even translation… at least subtitled. The dub for it is pretty bad though. And the races are a little easier to understand when you can see the cars moving instead of staring at still images.
Randomly they made a arcade game for “Initial D” where you could play the game in real cars on motion simulators. Which I thoughts was super neat.
Anyway I’m rambling. I thought I’d update you guys and what’s happening before I leave. But I should get back to packing now. =D I hope to see some of you guys in New York.
Oh and these are the last few days of my shirt at woot. If you can, please give me a vote! I’ve been in the fog the whole derby again so I’m hoping I can manage to place with another shirt.
My Unexpected Error shirt design has printed at Shirt.Woot! So for today(Sunday) you can get the shirt for 10.00. Tomorrow it will go up to 15.00. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for the design.

Here’s a nice large version of what the shirt should print like. The shirt woot preview seems a bit messed up for some reason. They’ve been getting ready for a wedding so I’m not surprised. =D Hopefully they’ll fix it.

This is for Shirt.woot’s derby #151 Shirt You’d Wear to a Job Interview.
This is a shirt that says I’m the life of the office water cooler, there with a pithy phrase and a cute kitten. Totally employable.

“How does the derby work? Can I buy this shirt?”

If there is no vote button to click on:
To vote on shirt woot you have to have an account that has bought something off of any of the woot sites (woot, shirt.woot, or wine.woot).

Once you have bought something you can cast a vote for however many designs you want.
Wow, so my Schrodinger’s Cat shirt has managed to stay in the top 9 (the fog) since the beginning of Shirt.Woot’s Psychedelia derby. Which means that I may have a chance of getting printed at Woot this weekend. Sadly this weekend I will be away at A-kon and will have to bring my laptop to check in and see if Schrodinger’s cat is a shirt or not a shirt when they open the box and reveal the vote totals. =D So please if you have a woot account and like my shirt, please give me a vote or tell some friends or post a link to it.

Here’s hoping, I’m crossing my fingers. =D
ALSO this Friday I will have a shirt printing at Ript! http://riptapparel.com/ No voting required. YAY!
They picked up my Mount Rushmore/Presidents of the United States of America shirt. It’ll be on sale all Friday for 24 hours only. Please pick one up if you like it, the shirts are only 10.00 plus 2 dollar shipping. I’ll try to leave a reminder on Thursday before I leave for A-kon.
Oh man there’s so much to dooo before the con.
So this week the new woot derby theme is Deja vu. This derby is awesome! Basically the theme is that we can make a shirt for any of the earlier derbies and enter it now for this one. So I did a bunch of shirt and for it.
This idea was for the “Visual Pun” derby I just couldn’t do it for that derby because at the time text wasn’t allowed but for this derby that restriction is gone! So yay puns.
http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=42340
This idea was for the “Text as Art” derby and everything on the shirt had to be made out of text. =D This is a really really painful pun and normally I hate those but… here it is!
http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=42359
EDIT: Took this one down to mess with it some more! I will post a new version when I’m done.
This idea was for the “Spring 2010” derby and I never got around to making it because I knew this one would take forever to get right.
This idea was for the “Heat” derby, which was Woot’s 2nd derby theme. FLAMES MADE OF CATS. =D
