Paperwork T-Shirt by Paul Baines
June 20, 2008
Yes, yes, I’m submitting to DesignByHumans.com again, no I’m not a glutton for punishment, I know I’ll probably get very few votes, but who cares, it’s all good. Matt from DBH support has put my mind at rest, (see the last post), and be assured I will keep pressing them to improve the comments system. However we’re both here, and for one thing, and that’s t-shirts.
The latest submission to Design By Humans, it’s called Paperwork and I believe its pretty much self-explanatory. It features a two characters wrapped in newspaper, one sweeps the road, the other is homless, the two share a moment under a sky-filled faux-water colour ticker-tape parade. I could push the whole eco argument again, but in all honesty this is more an exercise in the pointlessness of life than ecology. To be more accurate, the pointlessness of many of today’s society’s mechanisms of control, order and general management. Those who have little clear up those who have most, those who have nothing are cleared out of sight, and those with everything can’t see the trees for the paper.

DesignByHumans.com - Complaint Received and Dealt With Thanks!
June 20, 2008
I woke up today and was most gratified to receive an email from Matt of DesignByHumans.com
“First off, I apologize for the negative encounter you had with one of the members of the community. We try our best to promote a positive atmosphere here at DBH but sometimes there are those who choose to spoil the fun for everyone. We have since deleted ********* comments on your design as well as on some other artist’s designs. Thanks for calling our attention to this.”
Design By Humans - Comments by Jerks

I know you must be thinking what the hell am I doing? If today hadn’t gone so badly, what with an Internet Explorer incompatibility with Lightbox.js (a fancy photo widget for Wordpress) and a bout of sickness from three cats (yes all over the place it is), I’d probably have held my horses. However the final straw was one idiot at DesignByHumans.com - I won’t point you to his account because I really don’t want to give guys like this any more promotion than they deserve (which in all truth is just about zero). There are two ways to make it in like, rise above or push every one else face down and climb over them. I prefer the first option, and maybe I’m losing my faith in human nature, but it seems a lot more fall into the second. Read more
The Best of the Best: Outstanding T-Shirts (Designed by Humans)
June 8, 2008
I need to purge all that negativity from my last post and focus on some of the greatest t-shirts available on the net right now. I could just vegetate in front of the TV, or argue with the neighbour about controlling his wayward dog and teenage son, or spend the remainder of my weekend inputting data at my new t-shirt printers directory. Sounds like another awful weekend, I’m sure one day I’ll be able to afford such luxuries, however until then I’ll turn to one of my favourite obsessions, great t-shirt design, and thought you’d like to see a selection of tees that have caught my eye from this legendary t-shirt label.
