Hooray! A mighty thank you to Threadless for choosing this design, I think it's my favorite of my submissions, as well as the one I worked the hardest on.

It's been a while now so I don't rightly recall exactly how this particular concept came to mind, but being as big of a dinosaur nerd as I am I'm sure it had been floating around in some nebulous form for a while. Eventually I started sketching some of the figures in my Educational Psychology class last winter (there originally was going to be a Polacanthus as well) and finally got a submission put together. I don't think the "critique" section of the site was open then (or maybe it was, I'm not sure) or else I might have saved everyone the pain of being asked to vote on it twice, since this is actually the re-sub of my first attempt. :)

In any case, I hope you all enjoy it and thank you for all your votes and comments!

-Brian

What's with the medals in the upper left on the model shots? Where'd they come from?

Thanks, guys!

SoulfumeInc: Yup, my username is a direct reference to said under-appreciated Beck song :)

You're right, they do look like Alumni Club medals! What are they doing on your shirt though? It's odd that the design graphic doesn't show them but the product shot does...

Awesome shirt, I've been eyeing this since I voted on it months ago.

Boo to Threadless for not releasing this in Kid sizes, though - kids & dinosaurs go together like peanut butter and...dinosaurs.

i had me a peanut butter and dinosaur sammich earlier today. it tasted like epicness.

mapmaker: i think they put the medals on for the product shot because many of the dinosaurs in the design are donning sporty medals themselves.

You know, I want to get it, but I just don't know.

It looked awesome before, I just don't know what made me slightly change my mind.

I was all ready to get it, too.
