I was in the supermarket today and bags of prawn crackers were on buy one get one free, so naturally I picked up a couple of bags. I never buy prawn crackers from the supermarket, they’re just so unhealthy, yet I still bought them since they were such a good deal. Thriving Ink on the other hand, I actually like their stuff, so here’s a buy one get one free deal that won’t leave you with the twinge of guilt and shame of binge-eating a bag of crackers.

To qualify for the deal you need to enter the coupon code CUST2 during the checkout procedure, but be quick, because that code will expire on August 31st.

When I took a quick look, and it was a very quick look, at the submissions to Terratag’s design competition (basic guidelines: design a t-shirt with a robot on it) I wasn’t actually all that impressed with what I saw, but I guess that I must have missed this design, because I really like the concept, and the execution is pretty great too, so its a good thing it won the competition or I would have never seen it.

Remember back in late May when I told you about the guys that were hoping to raise $1 million to help with earthquake relief in China by selling 50,000 t-shirts (which was the estimated death toll from the Earthquake at the time when the idea was born), well, it may have taken some time and they may have had to jump over numerous stumbling blocks but the tees are finally on sale, and whilst some people may well describe charity tees as being a badge to show how generous and awesome of a person you are, I’m all for them… because, and you may have noticed this before, I’m all for almost every t-shirt… except this one.

Remember the Popdeck x laFraise competition that I mentioned a while back? Well, it seems that things have taken on an exciting and unexpected twist!

If you purchase any deck from Popdeck (not just the winner from the laFraise competition) you’ll receive the Popcorn design that was one of the laFraise winners. That shirt costs €23 from the laFraise store, and its printed on an organic American Apparel tee, decks from Popdeck cost $40 (the $32 shipping cost to the UK is pretty high, but hey, a deck weighs a fair amount). I could do the rest of the math for you, but now matter how you plug the numbers into the equation your calculator is always going to read “hey, that’s a great deal!”

To get your free tee you first need to purchase the deck, then send an e-mail info@popdeck.com with your size. As you’d imagine, this deal is strictly whilst supplies last, so it might be a good idea to get on it sooner than later if you’re interested.

I know you’d never know if from looking at the archives, but Zero Boutique are actually a teensy bit responsible for HYA coming into existence. All the way back in 2003, I was hunting for some cool shirts on the internet when I found Zero Boutique, back then there were nowhere near as many t-shirt shops worth visiting on the internet, so they really stood out. I didn’t actually buy anything from them (yeah, that part does take some of the romance out of the story), but they did help to provide the spark for my love/obsession of finding cool t-shirts on the internet.

Anyway, I’m getting off point here, ZBQ are having an end of summer sale, meaning that all their tees tees are just $14.80 until September 2nd. As if that weren’t cheap enough, and considering they print onto American Apparel tees it probably is, ZBQ have hooked us up with a coupon code that will get you 10% off your order, which makes the sale tees an even more palatable $13.32 each. At the appropriate point in the purchasing process enter the code HIDEYERARMZ to be eligible for the discount. This code isn’t just valid for the duration of the sale, its valid for the duration of… forever, so if you don’t pick anything up during the sale, you’ll always be able to get 10% off their regular prices.

Mainstream brand alert! Mainstream brand alert!

Have no fear, I’ll get back to posting about stuff that is printed by some dude in a poorly-ventilated garage, but sometimes I’ve just gotta post this stuff.

Natterjacks are selling two very limited edition Adidas tracksuits, the first is a black and red leather (yes, a leather tracksuit) number based upon the 80s original, which would be perfect for completing your Run DMC cosplay outfit if you’re happy to hand over £550 ($1010) for it. Up next, a track jacket that actually has stainless steel woven into the thread, which is fairly clever, but rather pointless and gaudy. In their product description Natterjacks say they they only have a couple of these so they’ll go quick, but I get the feeling that they might be hanging around for a while with a £400 pricetag, unless I have seriously underestimated the amount of disposable income that rappers in the UK have going spare for bling.

Since I wouldn’t want you to come away from this post thinking “that was fun, but why not point I out something I should buy Andy, you handsome devil?” I’ve found (ok, that’s a lie, I got sent an e-mail about them, blogging is so easy sometimes!) 3 tees from the Adidas Originals range that are about as retro as their track suits cousins, but you might actually want to wear them. All three are available from Urban Industry for £24.50, which is probably a bit pricey for our buddies in the States, but actually pretty good going for a UK shop.

I think this sale has been going on for quite a long time, presumably since 08/08/08, but I kept forgetting to post it, so here ya go!

Yes, this tee is by Art in the Age of Reproduction, and no, I haven’t made an error in the title, although I do think that if Art in the Age and No Age team up for a collaboration that that should have dropped the ‘the’ from the title. “Art in No Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” see? Much cleaner!

I’ve never actually heard of No Age, an experimental rock/pop punk/noisepop/powerpop/shoegaze (<-- whaa??!!)/what do genre labels even mean anymore... band from Los Angeles before I found out about this tee collaboration, but I think I stopped knowing what was cool in the music world a long time ago when I unsubscribed from Stereogum and decided that I quite liked ‘Girlfriend’ by Avril Lavigne.

The tee itself has a kinda grimy punk quality to it. At first I didn’t actually find it all that appealing, and as a tee on its own it hasn’t really grown on me, but I reckon that if it were being worn by someone with a bit of a rocker look that it would be pretty badass.

FFee Clothing have released eight new designs, shown above in the gallery, and redesigned their website, not shown above, but it does look really cool, they’ve got lots of hand-drawn text and illustrations mixed with photos, and… and… well, just go take a look yourself, its a treat for your eyes.

Their new packaging looks pretty gorgeous, so if you weren’t quite sure whether to make a purchase then that might be the tipping point for you.

Allmightys are rapidly turning into my favourite European design competition, they’ve got the quality, the community, the artists, and I just get a generally good feeling about them. Their latest themed competition was based around patterns. As you can probably tell from the gallery above, the winners were a pretty diverse bunch, branching off from what I’d consider a pattern by a few degrees, but still creating clever designs that are undeniably patterns. My pick ‘o the bunch is actually the Gold Prize winner of the contest, Slum, a great colourway and beautifully illustrated, bravo, darruda!
