thanks so much to EVERYBODY for your support...and a huge thanks to the band for being such an inspiration to us all, and giving the fans the opportunity to share our love for the music with our artwork :) i cried when i read the message that i had won.

this means so much to me.

Barb aka Chiqu??!! Wow! *high five's*

I've enjoyed viewing your art over the years on the board, so...it's no surprise that you were not overlooked. :)

I am sure it was not an easy decision for 10c to pick out the best amongst the best...but I am so glad that you won, Barb!

That was great artwork and I believe many more will also appreciate your art when they purchase the shirt, Barb. :)

Congratulations, girl!

Love this design!!!! Congrats and well-earned!

Congrats! It's nice to see such a great design win. For a long time it just looked like a popularity contest and some of the less attractive designs were going to win. Nice to see this played out the right way...

There are very few rock 'n roll tee shirts I would buy, and this is one of them. I sure hope they sell this.

Beautiful, beautiful job.

Congrats! And I love this design!

Awesome! This was my favorite shirt as well. congratz!

Justice is served.

Congrats! There were a lot of great entries, but this one was the best.

Beautiful design Barb!! Congratulations!

Excellent! There were some really good entries, but yours was the clear winner...nice job! Can't wait to wear it next tour :-)

That is beautiful!!

Beautiful design. Congratulations!

Congrats Barbara!! I was pulling for you the whole time!! Can't wait to order up a couple of these!!

AWESOME BARB!!! CONGRATS!!! CANT WAIT TO GET MINE!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!! It's a very cool shirt, just love it!!!

Hope to buy one of these..... Hint Hint to Ten Club!

Way to go BARB! I just got the great news! I'm very happy for you. And I love the shirt. Lisa and I will both be getting one. This couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Congratulations Chiqui! :D

Your friend, Daniel :-)

Once I saw this design, I knew it was a no-brainer! Congrats Barbara. I'm looking for a good tattoo artist to ink this on my arm.

Collierville, TN

congrats!!
great design.
i'm gonna be gettin' myself one of those shirts.

Great Job!! Congrats!!!

WHOOOOOOT!!!!

Great news Chiqui!! Huge congrats! :-D

Way to go Barbara; great design. I see it and think of riding a wave with Pearl Jam tunes keeping me company.

Congrats. This was the design that I was really hoping for so I could buy one. I was going to hit you up for one on the side if you didn't win. Thanks.

YAY Barb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations girlie!!!!!!

Congratulations, I guess, but I just don't get it. All it is is tribal from what I can tell, with ev in there. What is the fascination here? I mean seriously, congrats to the winner, but it doesn't seem so original. There's a whole generation of people running around with these meaningless tribal tats, just to say they got a tattoo. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to rain on Barb's parade, but I thought the fans of a band like this would be a little less "poseristic". This is my all time favorite band, and I've seen the frat boys and girls on every tour since lolla '92 at the shows that freak out, spilling their beers when "Jeremy" is played, and this is what reminds me of them. I don't know, maybe I'm not seeing something everybody else here seems to be, I just don't. Peace, & Barb, please don't take this the wrong way, you are talented.

Congrats, that shirt is amazing and I can't wait to buy it!

Very happy to see this shirt won. I can't wait to buy it.

I think you are just seeing it wrong, it is not tribal at all...it is a wave. There is no ev in there. The wave spells out "TEN".

Congratulations!!! This was my favorite shirt, can't wait to get it!

I'm with MakingWaves, mp210001 missed the boat on this art. This isn't tribal at all. It's a wave that spells out "TEN", and quotes lyrics from Release...lyrics that I think really fits. "I'll ride the wave where it takes me," think about how far in the 18 or so years since Ten was released that "the wave" has taken both the band and it's fans.

thanks again everybody for all your kind words, it makes this whole experience even more special :)

for those who asked about the small type, it says "I'll ride the wave" at the top, then at the bottom, "where it takes me". The larger type on the left-hand side says PJ in the Ten-era font. and as already pointed out, the wave spells out TEN.

this has been so much fun to participate, and so many people sent in such awesome designs....it was fun to see what fellow fans came up with! i was in great company in the contest, no doubt!

i am working on drawings inspired by different songs (in turn inspired by this contest!), i have given to fly up on etsy so far. if anybody would like to be on a mailing list to get updates when i have more songs up, just drop me a line (info@b-drawn.com) :)

cheers to all!

Fantastic!!!! This was my favorite by far! Congratulations Barbra! I can't wait to have a couple. YAY WOOH!

Very cool. This was the one I voted for too. I'm Canadian, so therefore I was unable to compete in the contest, which pissed me off but now I think it would have been a waste of time anyway. Even if I had've submitted a design I probably would have still voted for Barb. I can't wait to proudly wear it, plus I'm thinking tattoo, it's that cool. Congrats!

See, I guess I was missing the lyrics. Obviously it's a wave, but I couldn't see the whole picture. Thanks. I take it back, I would buy this shirt too, and congrats again.

Waves and Pearl Jam connect on many levels. I get it. But "Ten" has such a strong connection to basketball and NBA hoops, I thought the NBA logo knock off was much more appropriate.

This design matches recent PJ design. But, it lacks obvious meaning and obvious meaning is a foundational element of "Ten."

The design should have reflected some essential element of the original album. The knock off NBA logo worked on so many levels.

And no, "I'll ride the wave where it takes me" is not a great lyric. Honestly, the writer of that lyric has, by his own admission, made great efforts to control and limit the wave that "Ten" spawned.

Great design. I'm looking for the name 'Nina' because it reminds me of Al Hirschfield's work (forgive me if I've spelled his name incorrectly). I'm with 'left the porch' - disappointed as a Canadian not to enter, but certainly would have chosen yours anyway. Congrats!!

Awesome !

Congratualtions !!

You deserve it

Congrats.....very minimal, yet full of details!

oh my god ive just been on your website and the OTHER pearl jam artwork is spectacular....ALL FANS CLICK ON THIS WEBSITE....2 WORDS....SIMPLY STUNNING....http://bdrawn.etsy.com

I love it, but what do the little words say?

What you call "tribal" actually spells TEN. Look closely.

Actually aside from the #10 being Mookie's # and the band (namely Jeff and Ed) being huge B Ball fans, Ten has way more to do with waves than basketball. Oceans is about waves and surfing. Not a single mention of basketball in any song. And "I'll ride the wave, where it takes me" IS a GREAT lyric, and I think Ed has chilled a lot on the whole squashing the wave that Ten created. After all he seems pretty behind this whole re-issue thing. And the lacks "obvious meaning" comment? It's a t-shirt, how much meaning are you looking for? I think that it is very PJ and oriented and the fact that the wave says Ten and they cross at the top making the Roman numeral, really what more do you want? Once again Barb, well done, no matter what Easy E says. What does he know about rock and roll anyway?

WICKED AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!! CAN WE BUY A PRINT OF THIS???

Congrats! This was my pick as well. I cant wait to be able to hopefully but this tshirt. :)
