leave a comment for a chance to win this drawing

Here's the drawing that became this derby entry.
If you'd like a chance of winning it all for yourself, simply comment on this post.
But wait! A few things to consider:
Voting for the design on shirt.woot isn't a requirement for winning. That wouldn't be fair, plus how would I even know?
You don't have to be a fan of zombies to comment or win. That wouldn't be fair either.
Comments are still being moderated here to keep away the pharmacy spammers. I'll moderate and post them as time allows.
Be sure your email is in the appropriate box before you comment, not in the comment itself. The pharmacy spammers don't need more fodder.
The winner will be determined by an online random number generator in one week.
I may do this more often, depending on how this goes. I've got all these drawings just sitting around, when they could be hanging on your refrigerators!
The image is about ten inches wide by eight inches tall, ink on bristol paper. Nothing fancy. Also I'll be sure to sign it before I send it.
Thanks!

Three things!
1. If you're going to save daylight, make sure to poke some holes in the lid!
2. Parenting tip: get your kid(s) their own flashlight(s) otherwise you will only own dead flashlights!
3. I'll wager this comic will remind at least one person to change their clock.

vote and share

This design is up for voting in this week's shirt.woot derby. You can vote here by clicking on the "I'd want one" tab above the upper left corner of the image. You'll need to be logged in, and you'll need to have made at least one purchase on any woot site in order to vote.
Even if you can't vote, tell your friends. Maybe they can. Maybe they like zombies. Maybe they'll get the reference in the title! Maybe they like lavender! You never know till you tweet, pin, like, wall post, tumblr, or + it.
Thanks for your longsufferingness as I continue on in my overly ambitious quest to one day win each and every derby handily and instantly.
I have some exciting and fun non-derby things coming up on shirt.woot, so watch this space. You'll be surprised and delighted, I promise.

Lots of designs up for voting once again

seQRet message

Who goes there?

A taste for adventure

Sculpting a snowman

Slow and steady

The number one most viewed hologram in the galaxy

All of these designs are up for a re-vote over on shirt.woot.com. Clicking on the title beneath any of these images should take you to its voting page. (If any of the links don't work, they're all visible and votable at shirt.woot.com/derby )
If you can*, would you mind voting for any or all of them? If you can't or don't want to, would you mind tweeting, pinning, facebooking, tumbling, redditing, or whatever elsing this post so your close personal friends who might like them are given the opportunity to vote? 
There's no obligation to buy anything, and a salesman will not visit your home.
I know it seems like a lot to ask, and you probably don't visit this site to be told what to do, but it's things like this that keep the cats rambling and keep me drawing.
Thanks! You guys are the best! I truly mean that.

*FINE PRINT FROM WOOT: 

Voting

Only users who have made at least one purchase at any Woot site may vote in the Derby. If that’s you, just click “I’d Want One” next to any designs that catch your fancy. You can vote for as many different designs as you like, but only once per design. If you don’t see the “I’d Want One” buttons next to the designs, you’re either not logged in, or you’ve never bought anything from Woot. Go log in and/or buy something if you want to vote.

following Friday at noon: Derby opens for submissions and voting

These shirts will be up for re-vote on shirt.woot.com/derby in about 10 hours or so. I'll post direct links tomorrow night, along with a painfully descriptive reminder of how the whole process works.
Count on it.

What's going on in this picture?


Click here to find out (unless you don't like zombies, in which case you should look away before clicking).
I have a few other products available in the Neatoshop, so poke around and check them out.

New Zombie Family Stickers in the Neatoshop


Some of you may remember the zombie stickers I designed for the Neatoshop. A new series was just released. You can check them out here. One of the preview images shows these new ones combined with the first series for maximum vehicular zombification.

Q: What is the question?

that is the question by Ape Lad

A: That. That is the question!
Remember this shirt design? It's available again on woot, only this time with long sleeves. Here's the link! Cover your forearms in style.
Also! This shirt (the one with the angler fish on it) is not long for this world. By this time tomorrow, in all likelihood, it'll be sleeping with the fishes. Grab one if you like it.
Finally! Thanks for the continued voting on this design. Maybe it'll win! In time for Aqua-Con (which isn't an actual thing just yet).

Sushi Friends

It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a derby design that's up for voting, so duck and cover if you only come here for filthy hobo cats. Here's the voting link for the image above. Please take a moment to vote if you can, and tell your internet and real life friends to vote too (if they like it. I know some people have a real problem with how I've played fast and loose with established Atlantean continuity here.).
This is churning up lots of traffic on reddit and other internet aggregation clusters, so a big thank you to whoever is out there sharing, posting, reblogging, tumbling, and whatever elsing this silly thing.

A quick follow up: comments are still being monitored prior to posting due to a sustained influx of spamminess. Sorry.
