Cool! A T-shirt contest!!
Friday, January 18, 2008 at 01:00PM
It's a little known secret that one of the best tools for getting an independent musician out of a jam is to have a contest. And so without further adieu...
A CONTEST!!
I just realized that I need to have designs for t-shirts in the next couple of days so I can have some to sell on the Caedmon's tour. I have a couple of ideas, but I'm really curious to see what you guys would come up with.
So here's the deal, and it's very simple. I want to make the shirts affordable, both for me to buy from the printer and for you to buy at the show, so they're going to be one color on a colored shirt. Line drawings are perfectly acceptable.
What we want: A shirt that is clever, fun, silly or just a little strange; that reflect something of my music and my website. And that says "www.iLikeAndy.com" on it.
What we don't want: A shirt that says the name of a different website or artist. That would defeat the purpose.
SO: Send me your drawing of an idea you'd like to have on a shirt. Pen on white paper is fine, scan it or take a picture of it or whatever. I'll post the best ones (to me) on Monday and then you can vote on which one you like the best. The winner gets a free shirt, obviously, and something else that I'll think of later. (I'll ask take suggestions for prizes).
You guys are the greatest and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Maybe someone with more artistic talent with me can run with the idea that ILikeAndy is 9 letters and Andy only has 9 toes.
I apologize for this being my first thought; everything always seems to come back to the toe.
jud : that would work so much better if you could place a word break where the missing toe should be...
I can't design worth a flip either, but I have to admit that my first thought was "Andy likes roast beef". Sigh. This is why I'm not in the t-shirt business.
andy, i'll be emailing you my design concepts shortly
Ugh, I would so much rather be working on this than the logo for my church's capital funds campaign right now...

Ok, I didn't see the info about the contest till today (Monday, the day it's due...I'm slow)
Anyway, my idea...
On the back:
Simplified picture of the cover of "Letters to the Editor vol. 1" (so it will look good in one color with text under it that says "Got Floss?"
On the front (right in the center of the chest):
www.ilikeandy.com
Regardless of who wins...Andy, please make the shirts available for purchase online so I can get one...I won't be able to make it to any of the shows :(
I am sitting here with 1,000 people and they all vote # 2. It makes us laugh.
