My vote goes for number 12, for sure! The only other that seems like it's in the same league as that one is number 13.

Honestly, reading some of the other comments on this blog, it sounds like this contest is, well, very rigged... My vote definitely goes for #12. It's amazing artwork and it's by a 14-year old nonetheless!

I love # 12! I love the log in # 13's picture, too, but I 12 takes to cake for me. The whole cutesy, bulge-eyed-animal designs are nice, but I see so many like them and it's great to see a submission with dignity in the art. That is one shirt I wouldn't be ashamed to wear in public!

# 12 is awesome artwork and great use of space.

I vote for #4 because it is totally something a kid would wear, and an adult! I love cartoons, and because there are few entries that are cartoons, I definately vote for number four (emily G.)

Anonymous said...

Emily G. (#4) is definately who I'm voting for! Her design would definately look great on a tee-shirt. Great job to all contestants, but #4 definately stands out among the crowd!

I vote for #7, Adrian! Great job!

Hey, FYI-#4's picture was drawn by A 12-YEAR-OLD! It is pretty good picture, and I would totally wear it on a tee shirt!

All of the pictures are wonderful and anyone would look great on a tee shirt. How ever since i can only vote for one, I would like to see #2 the winner. Great job kids!!
