Compete-tee-tion

Shirt.Woot‘s Remixed derby had a unique concept, asking artists to re-envision a past printed design and give it a fresh feel. Some designs got a color switch, but many more were edited in more substantial ways. Here’s a look at two current voting underdogs that I’d like to see get some more attention…

Mouth Hug by yazmoq trades the shark in the original shirt for a very unhinged fox. There’s a very Disney-gone-wrong feel to this one, which is fun.

Unhappy Camper by fishbiscuit5 makes a formerly happy camper a little grouch, and there’s something very endearing about its grumpiness.

This derby continues through Monday at 8pm. The top three designs (determined by votes and editor input) will earn $1000 cash and $2 per item sold. Additionally, other designs may be selected for future plus sales and sold for $2 per item each.

The lights dim. The crowd hushes. The smell of buttered popcorn fills the air.

And from the innovation of the early days to the banquet of choice offered today, there’s a lot of material for artists to draw from in making their own film tributes. Here are 15 great ways that artists made movie-influenced shirt designs…
