Do You Like Stuff? Join us at Tee Virus
Way back in January of this year, Lucky and I had a conversation about making a new t-shirt for the coming VideoSift 4.0. After a lot of discussion, that idea grew into something much grander. We decided to take what we know about online communities, user submitted content and voting sites and build a "VideoSift for T-shirts". Using the same VaroCMS that powers the Sift.
Tee Virus is this and a bit more. We're building a community of designers and idea people to make original shirts that are off-beat, a little strange- and unique. We want to "incubate" - from the ranks of the creative Sifters who make this community great.
To make it worthwhile for everyone involved, we're offering 20% of the selling price to the designers of the shirts. If you have a t-shirt idea, please, please, post it to the Tee Virus Community Workshop.
Thanks very much to the beta-testing Sifters who submitted the first original designs that are now available and spreading.

gwiz665I like this idea. I gotta get myself Illustrator and draw all sorts of stuff for ya'll.
rottenseedAnybody want to help me with an "Ed Hardy Sux" t-shirt?
brycewi19Trust me, it's a ton of fun!
Come join us and vote for your favorite designs (that, of course, mean my designs)!
kymbosSounds a little bit like this one, which I've been using for a while:

brycewi19^Yeah, except that it's US that makes the t-shirt designs!
RedSkyGood luck with it. Keep in mind you are definitely against some stiff competition though with regards to online t-shirt sales, there's already a large number of well established communities, which while slightly different in their system have the same user generated orient. Just off the top of my head - threadless, tshirtsfromhell, designbyhumans, shirts.woot, teefury, teextile.
Farhad2000Am sorry to say but there is no way you guys can compete in this field. Good luck. You'll need it.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
^Thanks - your words will spur us on to make you eat them!
brycewi19Ohhhh SNAP!
Sorry, I'm stuck in a loop of early 90's catchphrases and jargon. It's a problem.
Maybe I should make a t-shirt about it!
id49606 says...I finally thought of something, but I have no idea how to use inkscape, and I'm lazy. Anyone wanna help me maintain my technological incompetence and lack of motivation?
