Also, since I've actually got successful designs this time around, I'm going to look into bestlosers.com, a site devoted to keeping exposure on the best shirts that didn't make the grade. It's a step I'm hesitant to make as a novice, as my "triumph" may never be duplicated, but the design more than meets the site's requirements vote-wise. If I end up submitting there, it should hopefully bring more exposure onto the blog, so it can only be a win situation, right? I'll update the blog if I find myself there. Until then, onto the design itself.
The design below is called "Unexspookted." I had toyed with "unexspectered," but ultimately decided specter was not a familiar enough term. The concept is simple... a ghost tries to trick or treat with some kids. I like that it's not an immediate gag, and am pretty in love with how the drawing came out and how the colours came out. If you were one of the 124 people who also loved it, let me know! If you hated it, and can form an eloquent critique of why, I'd like to hear from you too.

Go for the bestlosers.com submission. Let's say on the off chance you never break the top 200 again. What do you lose?
I liked your Halloween entry, by the way. I think you are on the right path for sure. It will be hard to resell that in 60 days because we'll all be talking about Christmas and the New Year, but I think your creative mind is closing in on where it needs to be.
I really liked this one. Very clever design - I looked at it several times before I realized what I was really looking at!
If/when you get this printed (at Cafepress or whatever) please put me down for one. I LOVE THIS DESIGN! This is brilliant, truly. And I'd wear it any time of the year. Very clever.
