What an awesome piece to see here! Congrats Dixon!!

Ok well now I have to find money to get this…
so great.

Whoa, up already!!
Really happy to see Pinkerton come to life here. Thanks again to Adder and Tilteed for making this happen.

Interestingly enough, this page features what are probably my five favorite Chris Dixon tees.

looks great

friggin’ awesome!

this broke my heart in the Madness derby, as well as the double-take derby.  I was absolutely thrilled to get Adder’s tweet about this being posted, I couldn’t wait to get home to see it!

This will be the first Tilteed shirt that I’m in for TWO!

:D

(see, I’m very happy!)

oh.

by the way…please print more CMD!

Flip Giveaway #3!

We’re holding the next drawing right here in the comments of our current tee by Chris Dixon.

Pinkerton shares a name with an album by Weezer. In a comment, tell us what song name or song you think needs to be translated into a t-shirt.

Drawing will be held tomorrow, the 8th, at 6PM PST. Tell your friends!

I could do this forever!

first song that comes to mind…“Casual Discussion in a Dome Between Two Temples” by Algernon Cadwallader

To start things off, I’d like to see “Neonland” by Detektivbyran translated into a tee. Lots of neon colors, I imagine!

Now that’s a fun question! I’m thinking something by The Magnetic Fields…

“Papa was a Rodeo”, perhaps adding the following lyric “mama was a rock’n'roll band”.

If I had any artistic qualities whatsoever I would absolutely give that one a try!

Oh, and maybe Justin Bieber’s “Baby”.... it might have babies. Lots of them.

Dunz0, you like Detektivbyrån? That’s awesome, I had no idea people knew about them outside Scandinavia.

Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiohead

This is so much fun! I can think of so many that would make great t-shirt-art.

Great choice, Matt! Algernon Cadwallader is so good.

Unless there’s a song hiding out there I don’t know about, Pinkerton was just an album by Weezer.

I will forgive this and post something later.

Also, not to distract from Chris’ work, this shirt is really amazing. I’m surprised it didn’t win that other contest and it’s awesome to see it printed here. I’ll have to see if I have the funds to make a purchase.

Congrats either way and much deserved!

DUDE I LOVED THIS TEE. Glad it’s up here now, but now I have to go scrape some money together. Wish me luck! xP

the last lost continent by la dispute would be rad. so many different directions you could go with that song

“My Squid Has a Rash” by Sultans of String.

@mrwednesday - Oops! You’re correct. It’s been a long day here in the shop…many ink fumes.

Thank you for the forgiveness, we’ll try harder next time.

I Sing the Body Electric - person L

bananbra - I love them! None of my friends know who they are though. I discovered them a few years ago and can’t get enough of their music!

@bananbra - you know Algernon? they’re from philly and you’re from Norway. that’s crazy!

How about…
One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces - Ben Folds Five.
Title says it all really. Would make a great shirt. I mean, an angry dwarf is just gold. XD

Dunz0:
I love their “Wermland” record, it’s like a fun mix of Yann Tiersen and Harry Potter music.

Matt:
What can I say - I’m a big music geek. I don’t know much about them but I love “Some Kind of Cadwallader”. My friend has it on vinyl and it’s definitely on my to-buy-list as well.

True Blue by Bright Eyes
Ambling Alp by Yeasayer
This Is Not A Song, Its An Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues by Rodriguez
What is and Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin

Sweet design! Loved it at Woot, super glad its being printed here!

Awesome shirt, the generic, happy face versus the surrounding environment is really whimsical and interesting.

And There was Grandma, Swingin’ on the Outhouse Door, Without a Shirt On- I HAVE A LIST OF FUNNY TITLES IN MY ROOM. without the aritist….

lemon meringue tie- Dance Gavin Dance

I think Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden would be good. Not only cause it’s a great song but it’s also a short story and has great imagery

oh! good one:
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict by Pink Floyd
sorry if we aren’t allowed to post twice. :(

deadmau5 - “for the lack of a better name”

Many of the tees in my collection are already styled after Matthew Good Band’s “My Out of Style is Coming Back”

“Blue Hotel” ~ Chris Isaak

“South City Midnight Lady” ~ Doobie Brothers

“Moon Dreams” ~ Miles Davis

Awesome use of the the shirt color in the design.  I wish I had a fraction of talent that artists here at Tilteed have. For some reason the name keeps taking me back to old western movies and the Pinkerton detectives.  Probably because I just watched 3:10 to Yuma this past weekend.

“Between the Lines” - Atmosphere

It’s hard to pick a single Flaming Lips song to use, but it’s hard to go wrong with “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (Part 1)”.

the first day of work at the microscope store- anthony green

devil in jersey city - coheed and cambria

to feel cozy surrounded by wolves - dr manhattan

this body pays the bill$ - four year strong

party at a rich dudes house - ke$ha

i woke up near the sea - lydia

You guys all have great musical tastes!

@abugfilms good ones! Almost any Of Montreal songs would be interesting interpretations.

A few more, Unknown Brother by The Black Keys
City of Electric Light by Chad VanGaalen
Death and All his Friends by Coldplay
Evil Urges by My Morning Jacket

Ok I’m done now, this is really fun!

“Muzzle of Bees” - Wilco

Great shirt…love the colors.

“Girlshapedlovedrug” by Gomez

or for a moment of whimsy, Michael Nesmith’s “El Dorado to the Moon”

I guess I need to think of a song DOH!  My wife would like to see “An Evening With El Diablo” by Chevelle.  Or is it that she would just like to see Chevelle.

“Neutron Star Collision” - Muse

“Never Gonna Give You Up”—you know… by some old guy

Or maybe “800 Pound Jesus”—Sawyer Brown

pretty sweet shirt, btw

No Label by Gabriel Teodros - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29Vi46H7M-c

or

C.R.E.A.M. by Wu-Tang Clan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjZRAvsZf1g

ARG JETHRO BEAT ME TO IT!

When I just read about the challenge, I instantly thought of Sufjan Stevens and “They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhhh!” This just has to be the best song title EVER!!!

Well, then maybe: “What the snowman learned about love” - Stars

PS: Loving the colors in this shirt!

I think this Red Sparrowes track could make an amazing tee;

“Alone and Unaware, the Landscape was Transformed in Front of Our Eyes”

Windowlicker - aphex twin

Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt- the mars volta

It Sounds Prettier in Spanish- name taken

If Only Duct Tape Could Fix Everything - the movielife

ok im done!

The Beginning is the End is the Beginning - Smashing Pumpkins

why not the song “The Good Life” by Weezer

You guys had the “Get a job” tee… maybe “The Good Life” can be the sequel to it?

I would love to see some funk on a shirt. How about Jimmy “Bo” Horne - Dance Across The Floor ?

My first thought on this was Kraftwerk - Neon Lights, but it’s too close to some of the entries in the current woot derby.

very off topic but that zebra is sick

@kxb_nailbomb nothing off-topic about talking about awesome art!

How about, “Take The Skinheads Bowling,” -Camper Van Beethoven

OR

“Love Cats,” -The Cure

the boy with the bubblegun - Tom McRae

say after me - Bic Runga

be be your love - Rachael Yamagata

man on the moon - R.E.M.

miss misery - Elliott Smith (rest in peace, man)

Jesusland - By Ben Folds

Whiskey in the Jar - By the Dubliners.

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

I like it!

the entire album Nevermind by Nirvana would make some sweet tees

Pinkerton was such a good album that this shirt is automatically awesome.

Ooh, fun! My ten choices, in random order:

“What’s That Blue Thing Doing Here?”—They Might Be Giants

“Those Who Move Clouds”—Howard Jones

“Monster in My Head”—Michael Longcor

“Warriors on the Edge of Time”—Hawkwind

“9 to 5 Barbarian”—Bill Sutton

“Rain Dogs”—Tom Waits

“Rubberband Girl”—Kate Bush

“Alligator in the House”—S. J. Tucker

“Four-Color Love”—Seanan McGuire

“Chiron Beta Prime”—Jonathan Coulton

I’ll have to go with

I vote for:

Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order

or

Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits

Coffee and TV - Blur
Hope for the hopeless - A Fine Frenzy
You and your heart - Jack Johnson

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips would make for a nice visual.

Oops, someone already said that one. CTRL+F is my friend. How about Dirty Hair Breakfast by Steve Burns then?

Love the shirt as much as the song and the album!

Fantastic artwork, Chris!

Some songs that would make great imagery:
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
When You Sleep - Cake
The Boogie Monster - Gnarls Barkley
Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey’s Head - Gorillaz
Song For The Dead - Queens of the Stone Age

Small list of songs to consider:

Demons- Guster

Small list of songs to consider:

Demons- Guster
C’Mon Sea Legs- Immaculate Machine
Cave or Little Lion Man- Mumford and Sons

“C” Is for Cookie - cookie monster

-Rinse
by Vanessa Carlton

or pretty much anything by Vanessa Carlton

Happy Birthday Titeed!  If you pick me to win today do I get the Pinkerton shirt?  It is awesome!

awesome

This started out as a hard thing for me to think of. Then a bunch of ideas came to mind:

I’m a bluebird from follow that bird is pretty much the only song in the world which can make someone cry faster and harder than the sarah mclalala spca commercial. Would be a great shirt.

Hideaway Folk Family by TMBG would also be great, but I kinda already attributed it to a shirt I won from Jaden at another site. “Sadly the cross-eyed bear”

Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars would make a phenomenal tee.

And finally, several picks from Bishop Allen:

The News From Your Bed - great narrative to this song
Flight 180 - so much imagery to depict
Click Click Click (Click) (the 4th one is often debated) - more great imagery
The Chinatown Bus - the original brooding one, not the upbeat gem it turned into on The Broken String
Butterfly Nets
The Envy of the Bees.

It’s really hard to listen to Bishop Allen and get no visualizations.

Also, I really dig all of Chris’s tees shown here. This is my third Limited shirt acquisition in a row! (Though I won the first)

I can see “Nights in White Satin” by The Moody Blues as a beautiful tee, or even an art print.

... man. Now I really want it to happen.

On a side note: Yes! I can finally get Pinkerton now!

Let’s go with “Geek Stink Breath”. I picture monsters. People love monsters ... and zombies. There’s also the vampire craze, with all that blood consumption I’m sure a tic -tac is in order!

P/s superb tee!

loving this tee in every way…not that I need to add a comment here…

nice tees!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Heading back to Facebook for Entry #4!

Thanks everyone for all the kind words for Pinkerton. Much appreciated!

For those that liked the Zebra design, I posted it in Tilteed’s weekly contest. So hurry and vote it up if you like it! Thanks again guys!

P.S. Congrats to landstander1432 for winning the drawing!

What an amazing design! I am digging all of Mr. Dixon’s work on this page and I’ll have to check out his website as well. What a great talent.

Looks like I’m too late for the contest? I was going to suggest “Phantom Limb” by The Shins.

Great tee pick, Mr. Adder.

So glad to see Pinkerton found a home! Picking one up now. :D

I’m so glad this is getting printed, I couldn’t believe it didn’t make it twice at that “other” site.  Thank you CMD for such a great design, I can’t wait to wear it!
