could you help me....

[10eke]

make a choice?
I 'design' prints for shirts. My fave singer Rob Thomas (matchbox 20) has a song called 'I am an illusion'. I'd love to have this written on my shirt, probably a white shirt with silver letters.
I have made three designs. Could you help me make a choice?

thnx!!

[lil jd]

i think the first one looks better than the rest as the others are a bit TOO different!!! hope that helps!!

baby booper

[Sally77]

I like the first one too

[10eke]

so that's 2 votes for illusion3, all with the same letters? OK thnx!!

[richard kolasch]

go with no.3. its good.

[Bikerbettyboop]

number 3 was difficult for me to read... I like #2 the best.

[Bikerbettyboop]

yeppers!! The clear winner!

[10eke]

OK thanks! So illusion3 wins, I guess...

Now I have another question:

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam3.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam2.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam1.jpg

This is inspired by Anthony Michael Hall from the dead zone (june 18th new season!!) He has a song called blue jam and this is a little bit of the song. Could you help me with this one too?

[Bikerbettyboop]

#1 is easier to read but I think #3 is very cool.

[10eke]

You mean the first listed with number 1? or bluejam1?

[Bikerbettyboop]

I mean photo number 1 vs. photo number 3 (I don't really like photo #2)

[10eke]

okay thnx!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

You're welcome... they are all good... I'm just sharing my preferance.

[lil jd]

i think the fitst one was the easiest to read:D :D :D :D

[10eke]

I just made the 'i am an illusion'shirt! It's still drying, but I'll post a piccie of the result!!

[richard kolasch]

i can wait,for your pic,10eke.
would like to see it.

[10eke]

I took the picture with my cell phone, cause our digital camera is traveling in Greece right now with my in-laws... I hope it's clear enough to see!
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/Photo-0112.jpg

[Bikerbettyboop]

cool shirt... did it take a lot of time? I like the glitter effects on it!!! Pretty color too!

[10eke]

the drying took the most time. I had to paint the letters twive, and it took both times like half an hour. So it's not that bad...

the other shirt is almost finished too. The first layer is on the shirt now.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/Photo-0114.jpg

the shirt is white, although it looks otherwise...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh 10eke what a cute shirt... looks like a nice summer tank top! You are very talented!! Thanks for sharing.

[bboop480]

that is a cute shirt...anytime i made a shirt like that for my girls...it was NOT that good....but thats ok...they were little!!!!

[10eke]

thanks you guys! that's sweet of you!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh I bet it was too good... I think anything that is handcrafted is really nice.. and it's the thought that counts. 10eke is pretty talented though!!

[10eke]

got some more!
this is a better picture of the blue jam shirt
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/shirtbluejam2.jpg

and inspired by the dead zone:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/shirtseewhatisee2.jpg

I've also made a shirt with the Rob Thomas (matchbox 20)logo, but that's still drying. I'll save that for next time!!

[10eke]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!
The Dead Zone's Anthony Michael Hall has his own MySpace and I emailed him there. And guess what......... he emailed back!! This is what I wrote:

Hello Michael!

I'm a great fan of you! I love your song blue jam and I put a little bit of the lyrics down on a shirt (little hobby of mine) I hope you don't mind me doing that? I haven't worn it yet, and if you have a problem with it, I'll just hang the shirt on my bedroom wall... I even tried emailing your mum to get permission *blushes*
This is a picture of the shirt:

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/shirtbluejam2jpg

Can't wait 'till tonight... Dead Zone night :-))

Keep up the good work!

Love and kisses

Tineke Wijnen

And his reply:

I love your shirt! Wear away. I'll be coming out with some fun shirts down the road here, but that's a great idea with the lyrics. Might have to use your idea there! You picked a great set of lyrics to use. Thanks for the kudos.


HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!! I'm soooo happy right now!!!! I still can't believe this!!!

[richard kolasch]

10eke,,,that is good news.
WOW,,you cant beat that.

[DaniBoop]

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_illusion3.jpg

i agree with neckless

[richard kolasch]

that is great 10eke.

[10eke]

I know! I'm still walking around with a smile on my face! I even came up with a new idea for a shirt... Do you think I should let him know? Or is that too... stalker-like...?

[Bikerbettyboop]

That is really cool!!! Way to go!! BTW: I love your shirts!!

[Neckless]

Go for it! Stalker...he'll know soon enough that stalking is NOT what this is.
Go on...Go for it! Anybody sho has gotten anywhere in life...trust me...that took a chance and jumped off and built their wings on the way down!

[Neckless]

Had some mistakes...here's the correction.

Anybody who has gotten anywhere in life...trust me...they took a chance and jumped off and built their wings on the way down!

[bettyboopfan]

I agree with Neckless....GO FOR IT!!!

[10eke]

Okay, I'll make the shirt, and email him again then... I already have a design. Sort of. Not finished with it yet...

[richard kolasch]

HI,,10eke..

yes,,,go for it.
that is a good one.

[10eke]

I saw he was online, and just said 'hi' and 'goodnight' to him. Didn't get anything back. Didn't expect him to...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well don't give up....

[!Beauty Queen!]

i couldnt see the second 1 but i think you should choose the 3rd one its cool!!!1


XxBeauty QueenxX

[10eke]

I mailed Michael a few days ago, but never got a reply.. :-( bummer....

[Neckless]

He's just busy. that's all.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don't worry 10eke that he didn't email you back... he probably has a busy life and doesn't check email everyday.

[10eke]

That's the thing... I can see he read my email... Let's hope he still takes time to reply...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh, so you're getting a read notice back .. hmm.. well maybe he is afraid that if he replies, he may be inundated with emails from you?? Just a thought...

[10eke]

erm... what's inundated? my english sorry...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Sorry... for using that word.. forgot about your English..

Inundated means a lot or many... perhaps he is afraid that you will send him many or lots of messages......

[Neckless]

Possibly.
There's only One way to know.

[10eke]

what way is that ;)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Keep sending him email messages and see how he reacts.

[10eke]

well, I only want to send him mail when I have something to say... Like when I make another shirt, or something like that... I don't want to be a stalker and risk getting blocked from his profile... Then I won't have a way to contact him anymore... And I can see he reads them, so he does see what I make, but I don't get a reaction to it... And that's what makes me sad. But on the other hand, I'm glad he even takes the time to read my mail...

[Bikerbettyboop]

It sounds like you are doing the right thing by not bothering him too much. Showing him what you make is good but don't pressure him. Like you said, you don't want to risk being blocked. Just keep doing what you're doing and use common sense and maybe someday he'll come around and respond more often.

[10eke]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Check this out!!!!

http://www.cafepress.com/michaelhall.65409731

HE USED MY IDEA!!!!!! He really did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

So is he giving you royalties??????? Did he really use your design? Did you give him permission?

[10eke]

no no no I used his lyrics. I made the shirt because I love his lyrics. I emailed hi about it,and he wrote:

I love your shirt! Wear away. I'll be coming out with some fun shirts down the road here, but that's a great idea with the lyrics. Might have to use your idea there! You picked a great set of lyrics to use. Thanks for the kudos.


I thought he was just being polite when he said that about using my idea, but he really did it! So, if he wanted to be nasty, he could have ME pay him...

[10eke]

Oh and I emailed him again, saying:

Oh My God! Tell me, and be honest, did you really make that shirt because you saw mine, or did you have the idea anyway?
Well... Guess I can throw mine away now! Why wear a selfmade when you can have an original shirt lol! I hope more shirts are coming soon (can you tell I'm a shirt-freak?lol)

Big kiss!!

Love
Tineke
(Holland)

And he just replied:

You have inspired a whole line of them! Thanks!
Michael

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well he should do more than just acknowledge your inspiration!! He should send you an autographed shirt free!!!

I'm glad that he wrote back to you and that you are the person behind the idea to print his own line of shirts. I'm proud of you!!

Maybe something good will come out of it in the long run. Don't throw your original away. It was the inspiration!!

[10eke]

well, you do have a point there, with the free shirt... My bf says I should write him back again, hinting about a free shirt... I don't have the guts to do that. As I told you, don't want to get banned from his site lol!
And don't worry, I'll never throw the original away!!! It's the reason I got in 'contact' with Michael in the first place!

[Neckless]

He should send you an autographed shirt...free ...and if any of this goes anywhere...you should...I REPEAT...YOU SHOULD be compensated for it!!! They were his lyrics but you put his lyrics into motion view.
HOW good is that??


banned from his site

WHAT???

[Neckless]

Did I Tell you: ""I'm SOO proud of you and to KNOW you!!!""

Good Luck!

[10eke]

I don't know how actors/rockstars think.... What if he thinks of me as a stalker, I mail him, I even has his lyrics on my shirt, how nuts is that. Apperantly not sooo nuts lol, since he used them too! But my bf says he won't sell that much shirts. His Myspace has been up for a month now, and he only has 215 fans who added him... So if 100 people buy something of his official merchandise it's much... So I don't think he'll do it for the money... Just for the fun of it, like me!

And I have to say, I'm glad to have my 'talent' lol!!!

[Neckless]

And I have to say, I'm glad to have my 'talent' lol!!!

I'm proud you are talented too!
It'll take you to the RIGHT place one day!!

Heads Up!!

[10eke]

:-)) He's online now. Just sent him a big kiss. He hasn't seen it yet... Don't expect a kiss back though lol! Just to show him how happy I am. Yes, still with my head in the clouds...

[Neckless]

Happiness to you!!
HahaH!

[10eke]

what time is it there? Or in california...? ;-)

[Neckless]

It's nearly noon here.

[10eke]

ok! thnx!! I keep forgetting the different time zones... lol!

[Neckless]

what time is it there 10eke??

[10eke]

it's 6.46 in the evening. We're going to take our doggy for a swim now. See you soon again! (Still hoping for Mike's kiss back lol)

[Neckless]

Awww. how nice!!

I think I'm going to go and take me a mid day swim!!
Take care.

[Bikerbettyboop]

So did you two have a nice swim Neckless and 10eke?

[10eke]

oh I didn't swim... The river is not that clean. I don't think it would be a clever idea to swim there... But Gizmo had lots of fun playing with another doggy in the water!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Oh... sorry I misunderstood... you did say you were taking your dog for a swim. Glad Gizmo had a good time!!! Hope you have a nice weekend. Our band is playing at a birthday party tomorrow night.

[10eke]

need help again! I can make two more shirts... One painted by hand, and one can be printed out... You can find my designs here:

http://s28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/shirt/

[Neckless]

Hmmm...dunno!

[richard kolasch]

i have no clue on that one on t-shirts.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Me either... no clue!! LOL!!

[Neckless]

CLUELESS BOOPERS we ARE!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Isn't that the name of a game? Oh no... that's CLUE isn't it?

We not entirely clueless!

[~bettylove~]

OK thanks! So illusion3 wins, I guess...

Now I have another question:

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam3.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam2.jpg

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/tanktop_bluejam1.jpg

This is inspired by Anthony Michael Hall from the dead zone (june 18th new season!!) He has a song called blue jam and this is a little bit of the song. Could you help me with this one too?
go with no.3 I like that one.

[10eke]

well, sorry but... I already made the shirt... It's on a picture in this thread somewhere...But thnx for chosing anyway lol!

[Neckless]

Good Luck 10eke.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi 10eke... have you designed any new shirts lately?

[10eke]

Yes, I'm going to make this one very soon:
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/shirt/wufrond.jpg
I hope the picture is not too big...

It's going to be in silver and pink. Don't know which parts are going to be pink and which are going to be silver yet...

[Bikerbettyboop]

Cute!! But shouldn't it say Advice instead of Advise?

[10eke]

oooh my!!! Thanks for telling me that! I thought I spelled it right!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!! Don't want to walk around with a type error in my chest lol!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

They are actually two different words... similar meanings and similar spellings but only one is correct for the way you used it... at least that's what I think.

[10eke]

oh I looked it up the the dictionary. i see what you mean! Thnx for telling me!!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

no problem... glad to be of help!! It's a cool shirt and saying.

[10eke]

Guess Michael liked the qoute too, he used it lol! And once again, I'm his inspiration lol! I'm on cloud 9!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's good news!! You are an inspiring person! Hope he realizes you have so much talent!

[10eke]

woohhooo!! I just had an email coversation with Michael's sister Mary C. She's a singer too, and she's awsome!!!!! Very nice girl!

[Bikerbettyboop]

That is so cool!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey 10eke... how's the shirt biz going these days?

[10eke]

I'm still waiting for the pictures of Tiffini Saint Ranae. She's a singer/actress, not very known yet, but she'll get there I'm sure! She's a friend of actor Anthony Michael Hall, and she saw my designs and she wanted me to make some things for her too! How cool is that!! :-)

[Neckless]

It's very cool that Tiffini has asked you to design some shirts for her! You're going to become a famous designer yet!

[10eke]

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's not rushing anything... just looking forward to your next creations!!

Hi 10eke... I'm anxious to see the finished product!!

[10eke]

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/tinekewijnen/deadzoneshirtsmall.jpg
I made this one yesterday, because I was bored... Took me like... 15 minutes.. lol!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow how did you do that? Is it a heat transfer from a print?

[10eke]

yes, it's with transfer paper :-) You print, you cut, you iron, you're done! lol!
Now I can walk around with Michael on my shirt lol! shame he didn't reply to the mail I sent him... I showed him the picture :-)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow that's cool. I have one of those commercial heat transfer machines but I don't have the software to use to make my own transfers.

[Bikerbettyboop]

We're going to print shirts for our band too.. Night Moves
