Jackie Good luck you are very talented All the best
why do some entrants have the names next to them and some entrants have no name. it is hard to vote. are all votes being counted
Look at Jeff Armstrong's design .... The shoe looks more like that old centipede video game ... does not look so good on a shoe
http://www.call-it-inspiration.blogspot.com/
Does that mean I'm googleable?!?! Oh happy day!!!
I think this contest is a great way for new artists to showcase their skills, and although I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I don't see this as an appropriate forum for criticizing a participating artist...unless of course someone needs to criticize because they feel threatened...
Vans Fan, that link you put shows the shoe all wrong anyway, Jeff's pattern is TILEABLE. It would look nothing like that (jumbled) if it were done correctly. His is one of the few that do tile, so put that in your pipe and smoke it. I actually liked his other one better, as it was CRAZY when it tiled.
Half of these aren't patterns and the other half are to detailed to look good on a shoe. I think Gray Oaks design is #1 followed by Mark Finns.
You can't ignore Gary Oaks girth.
Sorry Chuck.... I am not a pole smoker like you. Shouldn't you be on the Converse site?
I will say, that Jeff's design is nice, detailed, and very suitable for the Vans company. But one does not often view a shoe close up.....and at the scale that it will be produced, alot of the detail will be lost. So you will never really see the eyeballs, brains, teeth, etc. Yes, Chuck, it is tilable. But there are other designs that are more abstract and, in my opinion, more suitable to be printed on a SHOE.
Art is subjective and open for individual opinons. And that's all this is....an opinionated contest. I agree w/ Ars gratis artis.... To each his own.
Win or lose thanks to everyone who voted. I really appreciate it. Mark your design is great. Anyone know exactly what the Vans customs program is gonna be?
This is a great way to show your stuff and have people identify with the artist. Jeff Armstrong brings many talents to this event and has been drawing on Van shoes for many years, I should know, I'm his dad.
Wow, i guess Ars was right...Vans Fan is worried. You sure took offense! And I think you showed yourself to be quite the loser insinuating anything about my sexuality via a comment. Jeff, just go to Vans.com and find the site, it's already up, just not with submitted patterns.
Gary Oak FTW, you cant ignore his girth
I got this sh** mother****ers!
Gary was here!
Ash is a loser!
The Gary Oak design is absolutely splendid... hands down the best one.
Gary Oak!!!
You cannot ignore his girth!
Ash Ketchum here and even though Gary Oaks has long since stomped me in everything I do, his design is amazing.
You can't ignore his girth.
man i wish i had as much girth as gary.. i hope his shoe wins
All these other designs don't seem to intricate, but I was amazed when I saw Gary Oak's girth. I would want his girth all over my shoe and I'd proudly show it to the millions who want to see it. We have an A+++ design right here.
Noone can ignore my girth!
Gary Oak's design is hands down the best (all designs are great, but Gary Oak's is my personal preference), I can just see that design on Vans' shoes.
Gary Oak... What talent i see in your design.. the girth its just so amazing
as much as i hate to admit it, i can't ignore gary oak's girth on this one.
Glad to see people agree with me, I really do hope Gary Oaks design wins, I will be upset if it doesnt, a true let down. To be honest, if I saw someone wearing this shoe, I would ask them were they got it and what brand and immediately buy it, Vans would make so much money off of his design.
Gary Oak, your design is graet, going to be on my shoes for certain. The girth is really what got me
God I would appreciate Gary's girth all over me. It is simply impossible to ignore.
Gary, I still can't get over the fact that you won the Pewter City Gym Badge from me. But your design is hands down the best. May your girth live on forever.
Sincerely,
Brock!
Pewter City Gym Leader
Oh my good Gary, I never knew how good your girth was! I'd buy these shoes in a heartbeat ♥♥♥
Gary Oak FTW Vote For The Ballsack!!!
trust me, I couldnt ignore the girth.
Gary, you may not have been able to beat my mewtwo, but your design is the best I've ever seen. You and your girth have my vote.
ROAR!! GARY NUMBER ONE!! ROAR
My girth is nothing compared to Gary's. I am truly jealous.
Gary, I can't believe you took my spot as Pokemon Champion. But you are quite the artist. I could never ignore your girth.
Lance
The Dragon Trainer
have to say i would pay top dollar for a set of gary oaks vans......or his girth
Can I pre-order these when the design is chosen? (I voted for Gary Oak btw).
Your girth makes me squirtle all over myself.
I experienced Gary's girth.
It's worth voting for.
I've been in this business for at least 100 months and I must say, everything in this competition thus far has been fantastic, but as soon as I saw Gary Oaks submission, I couldn't help but watch in awe with my jaw on the floor. He may very well be the next big thing in Shoe design, I hope the very best for all of you, but Gary Oak, he's my man, if he can't do it, no one can.
I liek CP, But that Girth is AMAZING, AnonTheater FTW
LOVE YOU SO MUCH GARY YOU CAN DO IT! LET ME KNOW NEXT TIME YOU NEED A CHECK UP OR FREE DRUGS MWUAH
GARY OAK FTW. READ MY NAME BACKWARDS HURRR DUURRRR
Gary Oak's design is something completely unseen in the past 9001 years of shoe design
I would buy Gary's design right now for at least $350. It had better win.
Gary Fucking Oak wins this contest by a landslide. We love you Gary! Remember where your success comes from!
Gary Oak's design in ingenious and flawless!
Gary Oak's design is just pure genius.
After being in this business for over 9000 months i must say Gary Oak... You are the new balls in design
I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THAT GIRTH
I really like Sam Murray's design, but the girth on Gary Oak's design is just beautiful. VOTE FOR GARY OAK.
I gotta say, I love the design that Gary Oak made. It's simple, silly, and very unique. I would definitely buy shoes with that design on them.
Ahh my grandson..erm, what was your name again?
Posting in epic poll!
GREAT JOB EBAUMSWORLD.
If gary oak is make, they will be the first vans shoes i own
WOW do you see the detail in gary oak's design?
SUCH GIRTH!
woo woo! we did it EbaumsWorld!!!! Fight the power!!
Row Row, FIGHT THE POWAH
HAHA VANS LOSES! EBAUMS WINS!
THIS IS AWESOME GUYS KEEP IT UP.
Actually, Gark Oak's submission is one of the most origional, inspired pieces i've yet seen! I'd buy 4 pairs and give them to my family or friends just because of that design!
Who are all these people spamming the comments with ebaumsworld stuff?
You guys, seriously stop, I dont want Gary Oaks entry to be disqualified, I'm looking forward to owning a pair and If I cant purchase them because of some people ruining it for him, I'm not going to be happy.
yeah, EbaumsWorld!!! We support this guy to the bitter end; he's getting the design or vans goes down!
I agree with Prof. Oak.
this is a real piece of artwork here and we need to respect it and help it win.
HEY PROF. OAK.
NO.
EBAUMS FTW.
GO GARY!
HAHAHAHAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS
I don't know what all of the crap above me is about, but Gary Oak definately did make a very unique design for a shoe. The rest are pretty common for Vans designs (Jackie Nott provides a unique variation) but the...hairy shoe idea is pretty freaking cool!
HEY EBAUMSPWNS
NO
YOU NEWFAGS LOST THE GAME
YOU'RE ENSURING THAT HE LOSES
EBAUMS!
dude, hairy shoes? that's fucking awesome.
HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS.
ALSO I AM A HUGE FAGGOT PLEASE RAPE MY FACE.
Here, how I see it, these spammers have found similarity is Mr. Oak's name to something else, and it seems they're TRYING to get the design disqualified, let the votes speak for themselves.
I did vote for Gary, but most (if not all designs) are well done, not sure if all would be suited for shoes, but hey, it's a contest.
i really want to buy this shoe do not ruin this Ebaums.
EBAUMS PWNS.
VANS IS DEF LOSING THIS TIME.
HAHAHA I THINK THAT EBAUMSWORLD IS ORIGIONAL AND FUNNY
ALSO I AM A COCKMONGLING WHORE, PLEASE TEAR MY ASS APART
Did I mention that my mother is a whore?
The design by Gary Oak, is so brilliant and awesome. It's such a nice design, I would absolutely buy those if they came out, will tell my friends about them too :).
EBAUMS IS ORIGINAL FAG. WE DO THIS SHIT LIKE EVERY DAY.
Posting in epic poll
regardless of this spam from Ebaums, it is a fine design. I would buy a pair, as would many. Fair play to all the artists, there are some great designs. Gary's is the best in my opinion.
you copy your 'shit' from 4chan; virgin
The girth is unavoidable... you MUST pick Gary's shoe, regardless of the spammers who clearly are trying to get a fantastic shoe design disqualified.
EXCEPT 4CHAN IS FOR LONELY VIRGIN DOUCHEBAGS.
i absolutely LOVE Gary Oaks design and i will buy it the second it comes out!
i will tell all my friends and they will also buy it. STFU Ebaumsworld you are going to ruin it!
BY THE WAY, GARY OAK IS A MASSIVE FAGGOT AND HIS GIRTH ISN'T EVEN WORTH MENTIONING.
perhaps this will jog your memory a bit.

A website created by Eric Bauman, filled to the brim with stolen content from other websites. Ebaumsworld recently stole from YTMND (You're the man now dog).com, and has stolen from sites such as SomethingAwful and Fark. Also, Eric posted malicious code on the front page of Ebaumsworld, that wasted their bandwidth, which is illegal.

A place with loads of stolen material, some cited, some not. Eric Baumen puts his ebaumsworld watermark on every piece of material he gets. YTMND is similar to Eric Bauman of Ebaumsworld, but Ebaumsworld is much worse. YTMND users steal images from other sites, such as 4chan and SomethingAweful (most just use "google" as their source; just as bad as not crediting the original author at all). When users leave their sources blank, they are either: 1. lazy or 2. trying to credit other material as their own. If it is left blank, it supposed to be assumed that the creater of the page created that image or sound. However, YTMND can be classified as more original, since they take those images they find and mold them into quite humerous "fads" and other jokes. Some even create entirely new images from scratch, such as "Color ME YTMND."
I got bored with the current daily media on Ebaumsworld, so I went to YTMND to make me laugh.

I've really enjoyed your company. I doubt Vans really gives a shit about these comments. Gary Oak is going to win this shit hands down. Good job anon.
Crimes against the Internets
eBaum's World spies are everywhere, even our precious ED fatherland. Terrible edits and articles full of disinformation and propaganda are made every day, placing the blame upon anonymous for their terror campaign.
Aside from their relentless war on everything, eBaum's World is the miserable black market of the internet; everything there is stolen, and some fat smelly guy is trying to make money with it before he gets caught. In this case, the toothless scalper is an evil conspiring Jew going by the name "eBaum", which is the internet spelling of "Eric Bauman". In numerous cases he has been caught doing such things as cropping watermarks out of image macros, decompiling flash movies, and recompressing shitty mpg files all in order to rebrand them with his own tag, which is slowly poisoning the rest of the internet.
No matter what you do, nothing will convince eBaum to remove your work from his shitty website. Occasionally old media giants will find some of their copyrighted material on his servers and issue a DMCA takedown notice, which eBaum then shreds, rolls up in a hundred dollar bill, and smokes while laughing hysterically. His millions in ad revenue have made him virtually untouchable in the virtual world and nothing short of IRL death will make any difference.
... seriously... what is this shit?
Hey kids, did you know that the guys who own EbaumsWorld now actually FIRED me from my own site back in '03? It's true! But it doesn't matter anymore because I got 20 million from those idiots. Shit was SO CASH.
What's this eBaums world shit? Please don't disqualify Gary Oak, guys, I REALLY want these shoes, and it looks like a lot of others do too.
I agree, Gary Oak obviously created a near perfect design, I don't want it ruined by some stupid spammers. I will buy Oaks shoe and no other. Its girth alone is mind blowing.
i love gary's shoes too, they are amazing and creative the other designs are like every other shoe i've seen... i love originality and will definently buy them...
I love the gary oak design, I wish the ebaumsworld kids weren't trying to get one of the most punk things I've ever seen on a shoe disqualified, this design is truly worthy of Gary Oak's girth
Gary motherfucking oak wins hands down. His design is outstanding and simply cant be ignored. So does his girth.
I ignore many things, like homeless people and food expiration dates, but one thing I cannot ignore is the breathtaking design by mister Gary Oak. Only one word can describe it, girth.
what the hell does girth and ebaums world have to do w/ an artistic competition?! Please someone SANE explain this to me. I smell bullshit.....
@peace love vans
Are you jealous because your design isnt as unique as Gary oak's one? Or because of the fact that his girth is superior to anybody else?
Also dont mind Ebaums they're bunch of losers trying to steal this win from Gary. Just like how they tried to steal everything from the Internet.
It seems ebaumsworld.com has raided this comment section, to try to make a design look bad. Hopefully this doesn't effect the results.
"what the hell does girth and ebaums world have to do w/ an artistic competition?! Please someone SANE explain this to me. I smell bullshit....."
I don't know. Gary Oak has a nice design which a lot of people seem to like, and I voted for him because I liked his design, and I think several others did too. But this eBaums world shit... I doubt they even voted. They're probably just trying to troll us.
DISREGARD ALL OF THAT, I SUCK COCKS
Prof. Oak's girth can't be ignored!
What is eBaums world i don't even?
This Gary Oak guy is pretty much the best designer I've ever seen. The way he uses colors amazes me. Plus, I really like his girth
the other designs are pretty meh, but Gary Oaks..
the girth is glorious.
I don't know about this Ebams or Anun stuff, but anyway, out of all the designs Gary Oak wins it hands down. I love the color scheme. Here's hoping
Gary Oak is such an original design. If that was on a shoe I would buy it!
lol wut oak oak oak oak oak oak oak oak aokanoa oa oa oa
as a designer myself, i can not compete with oak's girth.
enfoiefonifenoe wff je girth wdbuoiuboefouba
omg with Oak's girth how can he not lose! hehehe such an amazing design by the girth master!
freaking hate this dweeb but his girth is awesome!
Some great shoe designs out there. I have a bit of an odd taste in shoes though, so I picked gary oaks design, just because it gave me this whole *why would someone where this?* sorta feel, and then it hit me, thats what fashion should be, original. I must say all the artists have given their best efforts on these designs, but Gary's is just perfect for me.
i cant believe those ebaums bastards are trying to joe job the gary oak design
GARY OAKS HAS SO MUCH GIRTH
I WISH I HAD IT IN MY BASEMENT!
Gary Mother$%^*#@& Oak rocks your world. HE ROCKS IT.
So I've had a stressful day from dealing with all this Healthcare bologna, So I thought why don't I relieve some stress from some good ol' fashion pornography, so I type in my favorite site (redtube) but somehow typo'ed http://www.vans.com/patterncontest, I was startled by the embarrassing typo but I thought I might as well check out the entries while I was here. I start looking at them one by one and they all have a similar alternative artsy vibe and none of them really POP at you, Until Gary Oaks submission. Right when I saw his design it reminded me of my childhood, I was always the kid people put last in shoe contest polls hoping people wouldn't scroll down far enough to see it and make him lose, so I feel like i've bonded with Gary Oak's design. Voting for Gary Oak's design wouldn't only shoe you have the best taste in art and fashion, but it would also show your american pride. Maybe someday I can take my private jet to Pallet Town and meet with Gary's parents to find out where he got his amazing ability to create eye shattering art, I hear his mom is a gentle loving woman and his dad is a highly respectable scientist. I look forwarding to ordering a pair of his custom shoes so I can wear them under my boring black shoes. Tomorrow morning I will ask my staff to make me a full outfit using just his design, Suit, Shirt, Pants, Everything.
Ignore his girth.....Gary Oak's design SUCKS SHIT. WTF is going on here?!
Gary Oak should win this, he is a really cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything because has anyone even been as far as decided to use even want to go do look more like?
this is really sad that someone has hacked this......I don't get all this Gary Oak or Ebaums shit. Nor do I understand who would want a "hairy shoe".
gary oaks girth is beyond comprehension!!!!
go gary
we all need the ballsacks on our feet
To peace love vans:
I dont understand this ebaums shit either, I think they may have spammed it to purposefully get him disquialified? :S
But the shoe design of Gary Oak is still amazing, it's so unique and different, everything about it is great. Let alone the fact that his girth is HUGE
gary oaks girth is great
bow to it
shut up about this stupid character's girth. I will not bow to it. I think someone hacked his votes. There's no way he went from like 10 votes to 2900 in A DAY!
to: peace love vans
you will bow to his girth, you have no choice
and his design is obviously the best, and thats why he has so many votes
suck it up bitch
In this poll: Idiots become OP personal army. There's no lulz in this you all are just trying to help him wins 2k dollars by looking like a complete faggot. Also his girth is nothing compared to mine because between you and me something amazing happned. Now I can talk to animals. It's really cool but totally a secret. And you know what? Life has never been the same.
peace love vans, ebaumsworld got all their memebers to vote for him and comment stuff like this to get him disqualified.
wtf i hate ebaumsworld, i really wanted gary's design... am i the only voter that legitimately voted?
I like the forest pattern of gary oak
Great Design Gary... the girth is amazing...
i'm going to have to take a seat from seeing gary oaks design, the design just screams i want to be a shoe, if this shoe wins i'm totally going to walk around with that shoe on my head so everyone can see just how awesome it is
gary oak is a pretty cool guy, eh gives out pokemon and doesnt afraid of anything.
btw toasting an epic doll
i'm so glad to see gary winning, his girth is what really makes me love him so much
Gary's scarpe bomba come cazzo, sto ordinando un paio per tutti nella mia famiglia

"Ignore his girth.....Gary Oak's design SUCKS SHIT. WTF is going on here?!"
Well, that's your opinion. A lot of us seem to like it.
"shut up about this stupid character's girth. I will not bow to it. I think someone hacked his votes. There's no way he went from like 10 votes to 2900 in A DAY!"
There's no way to hack votes in a poll. Trust me, I took a computer class in college. People just seem to really like his design, get over it.
I can not believe all of this. I let me children vote in this contest. I always saw Vans as being a family friendly shoe company.
What is wrong with you immature people. Not only do you find it fun to ruin this contest but the comments are obscene.
Just think if your children were exposed to this language on a family site.
Well hey now I don't know what these young people are up to but there are some fine designs in this contest and I think everyone has done a really great job. I think it's great that so many people are getting involved in the poll. It would be a shame if this young man "Gary Oak" lost because some troublemakers from this "ebaumsworld" started causing problems. I have half a mind to call ebaum and give him a piece of my mind.
I think this contest should be based on the amount of votes from the original polls. Everones new buddy Gary had under 20 votes. If very odd that he has gained 3,500 new friends
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HATING ON GARY ARE FRIENDS OF OTHER CONTEST ENTRIES OR THE ACTUAL PEOPLE, DO NOT LET THEIR HATE AND DISCRIMINATION TURN YOU AWAY FROM GARY'S AMAZING GIRTH!
E/b/AUMS, we did it.
...I voted for Jeff Armstrong. Is this some kind of joke?
@ Proud Parent, I completely aGree wIth you about the slightly oveR the Top comments, yet I don't see How you would think Vans could be responsible for the comments left by anonymous users on a third party website.
May the best design win.
So all you "EBAUMSWORLD" people..... Do you think its fair to Gary that he will be disqualified and have no chance of winning this contest?
