I’m excited to announce that HYA* is teaming up with mimoco, the guys that make those awesome designer USB Flash Drives, for an illustration contest.
There are three tees from mimoco’s new apparel line up for grabs and all you have to do to win is create an illustration with a mimobot in it. Yeah, it’s that simple. Let your imagination go wild, draw anything you want in any style you want, just make sure it involves a mimobot in some way. You can feel free to incorporate Hide Your Arms into the illustration too, but that isn’t a submission requirement.

If you’re in need of some materials to help you with your illustration then the following links will be of help to you: Mimobot’s on MySpace and Mimobot’s on Virb.
Please send your submissions, preferably in a .jpg format and under 1MB in file size, along with your t-shirt size and mailing address to the following e-mail address: competitions [at] hideyourarms [dot] com or, in case that e-mail doesn’t work for some reason info [at] hideyourarms [dot] com
Submissions will be accepted until November 21th at midnight (GMT) and will announce the winners a few days later after Mimoco and myself have judged the entrants. Multiple entries are accepted, but please don’t send lots of versions of the same image unless you’ve really made some awesome changes.
Good luck!
Enclothe, the purveyor of esoteric clothing, is going to be releasing a couple of new
hoodies soon (
Falconeer, pictured, and
Horsebot), and they’re available on pre-order now until November 9th. The pre-order price is $40, which will go up to $45 at the end of the pre-order period, and if you order now then you’re eligible for a free sticker pack.
As if that wasn’t enough, you can get a further $5 off that price by using the coupon code hidethosearms (clever, eh?), making the hoodie $35 rather than the regular $45, which is a great deal for something printed on an American Apparel hoodie. Please note that the code will only work with the pre-order hoodies.
There are also a few tees available on pre-order too.

Well, this hoodie is just straight up awesome. Ok, if you’re a bit indie or emo, it’s straight up awesome.
Has the dirty bird met his avian match?
This is an authentic limited-edition hooded sweatshirt. We’ve only manufactured 350. Each is made with the highest attention to detail.
The entire design is embroidered, with artwork on the chest and right wrist. The interior features a printed, lined hood, two zipper pockets, and a headphone cord passthrough.

I think we’ve covered in the past how often I’m disappointed by the quality of official merchandise for TV shows and movies, even pointing out my disappointment with some of Entourage’s merchandise. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this post on Uncrate pointing me towards this shirt for the fictional movie Medellin from the TV show Entourage. I like the way that it doesn’t mention Entourage or HBO on the tee anywhere, giving it some nudge-nidge-wink-wink credibility. And kudos to HBO on not going with a standard across the chest placement too.

Ahh, Wrongwroks, I don’t necessarily think that everything this Vancouver-based crew do is amazing, but there’s just something about them that intrigues me, I mean seriously, who else would think of making a Swarovski pink panther hoodie?

If you’re a fan of all things Doradimon then this hoodie might be up your street too. They’re using carpet on the blue of the character, which is a pretty cool idea since it gives the piece a bit of texture and innovation.
There’s a load more stuff in the collection, a few tees and quite a few hats (which I think are a far more acceptable place for Swarovski crystals to be found on clothing) which are worth checking out.
