I’ve ranted about the state of the derby before. There’s too many overseas artists that apparently have a following and they fog regardless of the execution, including obvious grammatical errors.
Huge thanks everyone that voted - 3rd place!
Available today only on a long sleeved tee, hoodie, V-neck - also there is a 45% off sale so a good time to buy! (Discount applied at checkout) https://shirt.woot.com/offers/circle-of-summer
I have a few in the derby but they’re pretty far down… but here they are in case you’d like to vote! The last one is not my typical type, but more like a “who remembers this?” one
@jasneko@Kyeh@narfcake They abandoned the whole rights thing when a couple of major IP vested interests 'splained to them that if they were claiming any form of IP control on an infringing design, then they were in much deeper water than merely adhering to a C&D could get them out of.
@jasneko voted. I like best the black one with all the cats and hope it is printed although I wish it was a color other than black. I hate black shirts and black doesn’t look very good on me.
@Kidsandliz Thanks, that’s my favorite too! I understand - my preference is bright colors really - (like yellow!), but unfortunately those colors tend to win and print far less So I mix it up. A lot of my black shirt I wear as PJ shirts
Thanks all who voted so far!
Also FYI in case anyone is interested, my design Computer Work (cat shirt!) is in a special sale for $5.99! (applied at checkout)
@jasneko Time to replenish my stock of CW! Over the 7+ years, I’ve worn out 2½ copies of them already. As I recall, the design was inspired by your cat in real life.
(I’m still annoyed that the remix version was printed all gigantic, though.)
@werehatrack It does not - just go to final checkout and the price reduces to $5.99
@narfcake - Oh nice! And d’oh to the gigantic remix version. I don’t understand why they didn’t add that remix to the catalog, most of my other remixes got added, but that one the last I check was permanently sold out.
@jasneko Definitely getting the adopt shirt, my “snowy day love” by @spiritgreen is out of season, I need something new to wear to the animal shelter! PS I get compliments on your shirts all the time!
@DLPanther - oh that’s great, and I’m so happy to hear you get compliments on my shirts!! Which ones do you have? Feel free to give them the easier URL jasneko.com and tell them to click on “t-shirts” for a more simple way to get to my shirts if they’re interested
@jasneko I have a lot of your seasonal catshirts that I cycle through during the year. Did you do mediocritee exclusives? That’s mostly where I got them. I think the order history is gone, and I don’t see a lot of them on woot.
Valentines chocolate heart, the green spring flowers cat, two cats in a blue blanket, the cat ghosts that I think glows in the dark, a few Christmas ones, probably more. My favorite is change of luck with the black cat in the clovers, I wear that all year round.
@DLPanther My gut answer is around 20 or so designs at Mediocritee – only because the last time I counted, I had around 100 or so of @jasneko’s designs from shirt.woot – and I was past the 4 month mark already.
(On the topic of Mediocritee, I’m not as much of a fan for pop culture mashups, so my buying tapered off as time went on. )
@DLPanther@narfcake I did do many mediocritee shirts, including the cat series
Aww that’s great, do you mean the green one with the black cat in the clover? I love that one too!
@jasneko Very sad. I was out of town, incredibly busy and exhausted and MISSED THE SALE!!! Thanks for letting people know though. Do you have any idea how often a year a sale like this is done?
Hi all (and especially to @kidsandliz who requested I post recent designs), some new ones now printing! :
PS. And if you haven’t already, please feel free to vote for my designs above!
@Kyeh@sammydog01 Yeah, I guess I should have posted the reference here. I knew it would be a little bit of a risk – not easy to encapsulate a classic childhood video to a single image, but I was going for the vibe. Appreciate you guys caring enough to check it out tho!
@jasneko@sammydog01 I like that shirt best too! Voted.
(Someone did a Calvin & Hobbes shirt?! That’s really wrong because Bill Watterson NEVER authorized any merchandise.)
@ACraigL@Kyeh@sammydog01 A super hard line when I first started joining - most derbies didn’t allow any IP at all and when they did allow it for select derbies, it had to be much more veiled a reference.
Text was also only allowed certain derbies, not very frequently.
Now is like a totally different contest than what it once was…
@ACraigL@Kyeh@sammydog01 I understand. I rarely do it myself as it feels strange for me, typically only when the theme is asking for it. I’d personally prefer it it were more (or mostly!) derbies with the “no pop culture/no IP rules”, but don’t think that’s happened in ages.
@Kyeh@sammydog01 Thank you both! The top one is the one I’d want for myself the most - and it just got back in the fog! Please spread the word to anyone you know who might vote
Halloween derby! I’ve entered 2 so far, still working on a complicated 3rd and a 4th in the pipeline hope I can at least finish the 3rd - look out for it…
I’ve been on and off derbies for a bit, but I’ve got 3 in this round. Please vote if you have a minute. Thank you!!

@jasneko I created a part 2 thread, so post here too!
@ACraigL @jasneko
I love the I’m dragging ass one bc it’s one you have to think about to get, those are my favorite.
@jasneko @Star2236 I like it too. It already fell out, so hopefully it gets a print!
@ACraigL @jasneko @Star2236
One of the shirts currently in the fog, the “Save the Earth” one, is cute but has a grammatical error in it!
@jasneko @Kyeh @Star2236
I’ve ranted about the state of the derby before. There’s too many overseas artists that apparently have a following and they fog regardless of the execution, including obvious grammatical errors.
@ACraigL @jasneko @Star2236 Ugh!
@ACraigL @jasneko @Kyeh
I definitely wouldn’t be buying a shirt for people to constantly point out something wrong with it but that’s just my opinion.
Posting in here since it’s the latest thread - thanks for any votes (and to those who already voted!)
@jasneko
Yours are always cute, voted.
Huge thanks everyone that voted - 3rd place!

@jasneko Congratulations!!! Thanks for the alert.

@jasneko So if your one of your designs doesn’t win, is it owned by Woot or can you take it elsewhere if you want?
@jasneko @Kyeh Unlike in the past, there’s no ownership or exclusive rights contracts anymore.
(Alas, that means artists need to be doing their own DMCA takedowns too.)
@jasneko @narfcake Well, that’s good, I guess?
@jasneko @Kyeh @narfcake They abandoned the whole rights thing when a couple of major IP vested interests 'splained to them that if they were claiming any form of IP control on an infringing design, then they were in much deeper water than merely adhering to a C&D could get them out of.
@Kyeh If it doesn’t win, it could also get picked as an Editor’s Choice in the side sales too.
@jasneko Yes, I’m glad that happens!
Oops, meant ot post this earlier - there is another great sale going on - $19 shirts are $10! Until tomorrow, 5/8
And my latest “Circle of Summer” shirt is reduced again to $15 (maybe because it’s still in the Reckoning?)
@jasneko Oooooo! Thanks for the alert!
@Kyeh Welcome! A lot of great sales lately, I guess because of the 20th birthday!
@jasneko Oh, that makes sense.
It’s a one-color derby this week and I’ve got 4 this round! Hopefully you guys can take a second to vote. It’s been super-competitive lately.

@Kidsandliz Thanks! Been a while since that happened. Fingers crossed!
Hello! I have 4 this round, thanks for your support!
As I’m posting these, I’m realizing they are all cats! It just happened organically, not sure the last time I posted all 4 designs with cats

@jasneko does that discount require a code?
@jasneko Congrats on the editor picks!
@werehatrack It does not - just go to final checkout and the price reduces to $5.99

Thanks everyone else for the nice comments
@jasneko I got one for $5.99. Reminds me of my dear fat black cat from the 90’s. Thanks!

@jasneko Very sad. I was out of town, incredibly busy and exhausted and MISSED THE SALE!!! Thanks for letting people know though. Do you have any idea how often a year a sale like this is done?
@jasneko @Kidsandliz This sale was part of Woot’s 20th anniversary specials. There is this current offer, in which $15 shirts are discounted to $8 in app:
https://forums.woot.com/t/appsclusive-8-t-shirts-june-17-june-19-2024/1710462/
I believe the $19 catalog shirts are just discounted by 46.667%.
As for how often, I guess it’s whenever they feel like sacrificing their own margins for volume.

@jasneko Wow, I guess this derby thread got buried in all the 2-day birthday Mehrathon threads and I never saw it!
@jasneko @Kyeh I missed it too.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 I did wonder where everyone went and if I should keep posting The top one - Infinite Space was chosen as an Editor’s pick
Mine are nowhere near the top this contest and this is not my favorite kind of derby, but here’s one of mine if you’d like to vote!:
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/136046/universe-university-just-look-up
@jasneko @Kyeh @sammydog01 Yes, keep posting!

Been a bit since I entered a derby, but I have one tonight! Thanks for voting

New derby - please vote!
PS. Thanks @narfcake and @kyeh for the encouragement to keep posting!

@ACraigL I went to the discussion thread for the top one because I didn’t understand it. Cool.
@ACraigL @sammydog01 I didn’t get it either but I just thought it looked really neat.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 Yeah, I guess I should have posted the reference here. I knew it would be a little bit of a risk – not easy to encapsulate a classic childhood video to a single image, but I was going for the vibe. Appreciate you guys caring enough to check it out tho!
I’ve got 4 this derby, love a vintage theme (The top one is my favorite, how about yours?) Please vote!
@jasneko I like the dancing owl the best.
@sammydog01 Haha nice!
@jasneko I like the top one best too!
@jasneko I like the blue doodle because it’s something I would never attempt to do
Thanks @ACraigL ! My second favorite - I actually make these type of drawings to relax/decompress sometimes - something meditative about it
I’ve got one design for the “I’m Old” derby. Get off my lawn.
Introducing Gen-X
https://shirt.woot.com/derby/entry/136380/introducing-gen-x
Autumn derby! I like seasonal themes and entered 4 if you’d like to vote!
@jasneko I like the one with all the cats. Especially the gray one.
@jasneko @sammydog01 I like that shirt best too! Voted.
(Someone did a Calvin & Hobbes shirt?! That’s really wrong because Bill Watterson NEVER authorized any merchandise.)
@jasneko @Kyeh @sammydog01 Woot used to take a hard line on that and has backed off in recent years, allowing for more parody of the series.
@ACraigL @Kyeh @sammydog01 A super hard line when I first started joining - most derbies didn’t allow any IP at all and when they did allow it for select derbies, it had to be much more veiled a reference.
Text was also only allowed certain derbies, not very frequently.
Now is like a totally different contest than what it once was…
@ACraigL @jasneko @sammydog01 I think it’s lame and lazy. I guess they don’t sell enough to bother the IP owners, but it really pisses me off.
@ACraigL @Kyeh @sammydog01 I understand. I rarely do it myself as it feels strange for me, typically only when the theme is asking for it. I’d personally prefer it it were more (or mostly!) derbies with the “no pop culture/no IP rules”, but don’t think that’s happened in ages.
First place!! Woo!
https://shirt.woot.com/offers/introducing-gen-x
@ACraigL Congratulations! That design is classy-looking; I like the “Control-Z Reverse That Decision” version.
Another derby theme I really enjoy! I have 4 if you’d like to vote
@jasneko Those are great! I really want the top one. I like the worm a lot, too!
@jasneko @Kyeh I like the colors on the top one.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 Thank you both! The top one is the one I’d want for myself the most - and it just got back in the fog! Please spread the word to anyone you know who might vote
PS. @kyeh - glad you liked the bookworm too!
@jasneko @Kyeh It made todays email!
@Kyeh @sammydog01 I didn’t see anything - which email? Can you post a screenshot?
