I just added my own ideas on the t-shirt. Check out
http://www.mindspring.com/~spaced/srshirt/index.html for a glance. These
are rough ideas, and they aren't stick figures, but I sort of thought
I'd give it a go. Any comments or insults can be directed to yonder
email below.

Okay, so far Micheal WINS the artistic level IMO. Though I really like the
stick figures, those guys images were great too!!!

I go for James' stick figures. Mike's art didn't do anything for me.

Heheheh. Ouch. Hmmm, any particular reason? Or do I just suck? :)

Well, I got a few emails regarding the whole shirt idea. I was wondering
what everyone thought about these ideas...

1. The decker from "Shoot Straight" should appear in each little box.
Sort of comic relief.
2. The dragon picture should be closer with just the dragon's head
visible.
3. New "Conserve Ammo" picture of decker-dude pulling trigger and
getting CLICK!
4. "Watch Your Back" image a little more clear. Guy with newsfax will be
sans firearm and will be totally oblivious to the sneaky elf behind him.

Any other ideas are received with open arms. I also need to know what
should accompany the list of names on the back... or if there should be
a logo on the front.

BTW, Brett, I get that a lot. "Mike's <insert
characteristic/accomplishment> didn't do anything for me." Oh well.
<sigh> Can't please everyone.

For "Watch you back", how about just a picture of someones back...in
the middle of someone else's crosshairs.

I'll second that, I took a look at all the (three) sites linked to from
the "central" links page yesterday, and Iliked James Ojaste's stick
figures best out of the three. Still, some work would need to be done, but
I thought they were the best of the lot.

Did you like James' because you like stick figures better than
cartoons, or did you like his ideas better?

I prefer Mike's cartoon style art over stick figures. But that's me
:)

Maybe we should break this down a little. Work on ideas first. Once
that's settled then let the artists take a go at it, provide them
with feedback, let them make adjustements, then vote on the t-shirt
art.

After we're done with that *then* work on t-shirt style and colors.

Just my two cents.

Both.

It looks to me like we were doing those things already...
