Ochopika is someone I went to art school with who has recently decided to take up shirt design in the form of Woot derbies. Here are ten of my favorite submissions. I personally enjoy these very much.
If you’d like some context, click on the images to view the derby page. There you can see Ochopika’s explanation, other people’s comments, how many votes it got, and what the theme of the derby was.
So keep an eye out for her on Shirt Woot and vote for her designs!
I felt like there needed to be a second edition once I started reminiscing. Playing roms and giggling should be shared! So here is the sequel, the quotes that I remember and love for their charm, wit, or plain old badness. Click here to see part one.

Let me end this with a quote about video games from the once upon a time president of the USA, Ronald Reagan made August 8, 1983:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
