Mimoco x Tokidoki Sweepstakes

I’ve just spotted that Josh Spear are running a mimobot competition too, but this one requires a little more creative thought. You need to go to this page and leave a comment discussing what the mimobot in the picture are doing, just write a little story. There was only been 10 comments when I wrote this post, so you’ve got a decent chance of winning, as long as you get your entry in before May 5th.

Now we’re talking, Terratag are part of an exhibition, and for a change it isn’t in London! They’re involved with a show called ‘How Manga Took Over the World’ which is running until September 27th at the magnificently designed Urbis Gallery in Manchester (fact: I have waited for a taxi at 4am outside that gallery). I might actually get a chance to go to this, so if I do I’ll post a report.

The artwork that they’re displaying there has been made available as limited edition prints at the exhibition, online, and at their physical store on Brick Lane, London. But I know most of you aren’t concerned with an exhibition, you’re all about the tees, and luckily I can help you there too.

To celebrate the May Bank Holiday and (hopefully) a start to summer, Terratag has added a further 10 Robot designs to the Mecha range. With this release we are also offering 10% off - offer ends 09 May.

Also, if you are in London this weekend, print out this email and present it in the Terratag Store on Brick Lane… And, you too will get 10% off anything you buy.

Here’s the new robot designs.

Damn, that was long title!

I’m currently wading through the quagmire that I call a ‘migraine hangover’, the day after a bad migraine where you feel like you’ve got a hangover but didn’t get to have all the drinking fun, so I’m going to hand the typing duties over to whoever it is that writes AITAs press releases.

The new Spring/Summer 2008 line from Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction highlights seven new artists creating original designs. One of these bright artists is Thom Lessner who designed the David Lee Nagel parody tee.

The very talented Mr. Lessner brings bipolar hero worship alive in this tribute to both Patrick Nagel and Diamond Dave in the David Lee Nagel tee. The tee is available for both men and women and includes the 80’s, 90’s and the naughty auties all in one!

Thom Lessner originated from Ohio and is now living and playing in Philadelphia. Thom’s parodied cartoon renditions of pop culture figures have become his signature style and his works have traveled through Philadelphia’s SPECTOR gallery, Los Angeles, New York, and abroad. Currently, Thom is an ardent skateboarder and a rock n’ roll star in the costume-clad band Sweatheart.

To be completely honest, I don’t think that the David Lee Nagel tee is the best of the bunch in terms of the latest releases from AITA, but they seem to be really excited about it so I might be missing something, but I guess its hardly a surprise that my favourite has gold foil on it.

If you’d like to get 20% off this tee (or any in their store), just use the coupon code FF2008 in the checkout from now until May 9th and you will receive that 20% discount. Thanks to Katrina for that coupon code.

I guess looking at this hoodie you don’t think that there’s anything really special going on, just a guy climbing a ladder on on top of a splash of colour, right?

Wrong. As far as I can tell, nothing on this hoodie is printed, it’s all stitched, which I’m guessing is quite a lot of work considering how much is going on at the back of this hoodie. I can’t decide whether I’d actually wear it, but I am certainly impressed by it.

Costiness=$120 Link (you could save up to $24 on this hoodie, and 20% on your Karmaloop order, if you used the rep code AS7594, and you’d support HYA, everybody wins!)
