Woke up this morning to a really exciting email from Threadless about my competition design winner, Pirate Infested Waters. At first I thought it was about re-printing my design (something I had been hoping for for the longest time because of the monetary reward), but this email was even better. Threadless is now partnering with Dell to create products like laptops with Threadless designs on them (woah!). The email stated that my design is being considered be chosen and if in fact it is, I win another monetary reward!
This all from an original design my old job in CA thought was dumb and didn’t want to produce…pffft! This (hopefully) will mark the 3rd usage of my graphic. Even though its sold out currently, my design was for sale on Threadless (vote to get it reprinted!). -↓-
Even though the monetary reward was nice, the experience of winning on Threadless was awesome due mostly to the degree of difficulty (especially nowadays). It didn’t end their. Right when I was coming down from that high, I got an email from them saying that Blik wanted to include my design as part of their Threadless wall graphic series (buy it for your room!). Again…I got paid, but more than that (especially if you look at their site now), to be considered amongst the ‘awesomeness’ they are producing felt really good. -↓-
There you have it. The full evolution of one simple idea I never lost faith in. Cross your fingers for me!

Its has been almost an eternity since I last entered a submission into the Threadless weekly t-shirt competition…it has been even longer since I was printed. Since I come up with a couple of these ideas a week and never really act on them, I figured today I’d submit a shirt design. It’s a clever idea. May not be the best execution of it, but my fingers are crossed. I’m surely going to give a shout once it’s approved for voting. Be on the lookout Facebook world!

If it’s two things I consider myself well-versed in, it’s branding and t-shirts. My buddy Chris’ friend’s band is running a Facebook t-shirt contest until February 28th, so I decided to enter. Who knows, I think the graphic I created would make for a great logo too.
