I came across this t-shirt today (and discovered a new brand!) I adore this design with it’s boxy composition and eerie style, so I feel obligated – I must share it with you! NINE LIVES is a street-wear brand based out of Kilkenny, Ireland (I am not a big South Park fan, but that city name really sticks out to me, ha.) Anyway, they have an online store, as well as a retail store – so check them out please!
I also want you all to know that NINE LIVES is having a Facebook competition to win this very tee! So go to Facebook and do this, the rules are simple:
Like their page, like the post and most important SHARE the post and let them know you shared by commenting on the post. The winner will be announced next week. Good Luck.
OR buy this tee: NINE LIVES for €20.00

Andy recently posted about Design By Humans hosting a gargantuan t-shirt competition for the up and coming The Dark Knight Rises film and I can tell you one thing, it’s hotting up. Ok yes, I’m of course saying this as Mr Four Fingers has submitted, hey at least I’m being honest. But there many good designs and my hand has been forced to vote on a few others ( I tried clicking on my own already). So far Studio8worx is slaying the rest of us with a massive 700 + votes.
What I really like about the competition is the variety, the good, that bad, wait, art is subjective, but one thing I know for sure, the work should be your own. I make it my mission to look at all the designs try to comment with a at least some constructive criticism, but what pisses me off big time, is when folk plagiarize. Two things : Your an asshole for stealing work and your a total idiot for then posting the design as your own in a competition as big as this. I mean really.
I have moved into a new role. A police role. Craig from DBH contacted me via e-mail and asked about some comments I made about designs being ripped off, and so, like a decent fellow, I named and shamed.
So beware (cue evil laughter).
Rant aside, if any HYA readers fancy dropping a few votes/ comments for Mr Four Fingers and I daresay, the fellow artist on DBH, then follow this link for the front page designs (there are over 6 pages now) , alternatively you can check out Ascension or Almost. MFF website has larger images and process images of you are into that sort of thing.
Get in there with a design if you have not already and happy voting!(voting ends 22 April 2012)

Hello, hello, hello and happy Valentine’s Day! I had a great holiday (though my snowboarding inflicted bruises may say different), and then went to see Justice play in Manchester last night, but now it’s back to reality and back to the serious business of t-shirts (and camera accessories at Rigu, of course).
TeeFury have a Star Wars-ified take on Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’.
Shirt.Woot believe the pen is mightier than the sword (or possibly equal to it).
RIPT have a Game of Thrones t-shirt that looks cool that I don’t understand.

*THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER A SUBMISSION*
I have teamed up with GAMAGO to give away a very cool prize to one lucky winner. One of their talented artist’s, Wednesday Kirwan (check out her portfolio, it’s delightful!), has drawn this original pen and ink illustration featuring two of their iconic characters specifically to be given away in this competition.
GAMAGO are gearing up to release their Fall 2011 collection (debuting next week), but you can consider this competition a sneak peek because the hand drawn illustration above is going to be one of the shirts in that collection.
As ever, I want to make it as easy for you guys to enter the contest and have a chance of winning this one-of-a-kind prize. All you have to do is think of a caption to go with the design (it has a yeti and a dinosaur on it, feel free to let your imagination run wild), and submit it using the form below. The winner of the competition will be judged by me to have submitted the best caption to go with the illustration.
The competition is open for entries between now and midnight GMT next Wednesday (August 17th), there are no restrictions on where you have to be to enter (by which I mean anyone, anywhere in the world, may enter). Usually I say people may enter my competitions just once per e-mail address, but as this competition will be judged I encourage you to submit as many times as you wish. Please make sure that you include a working
e-mail address with your submission, as the winner will be contacted via e-mail, and if that e-mail bounces back, I will pick another winner. Of course, I will not be using the e-mails for any reason other than to notify the winners, once the contest is over I’ll delete the submissions so I retain none of the addresses. Upon notification the winner must respond within 3 working days otherwise I will have to pick another winner. I think that should cover everything, if you have a question please leave a comment below and I will answer it as soon as possible.
I have teamed up with PLNDR, the daily-deal site offering premium streetwear at up to 80% off, to give away $150 of PLNDR cash to spend on their site any way you choose!
Yes, that’s free clothing, just for sending out a tweet and signing up to PLNDR with this special link. You have to use the special link otherwise PLNDR won’t be able to track who has signed up because of this competition, so make sure you use this link otherwise your entry will not be counted. The tweet that you need to send out is the following:
I want to win $150 of @plndrmembers cash thanks to @hideyourarms! http://bit.ly/m7JBID Pls RT
I signed up to take a look at PLNDR and you know what? They have got some really good stuff on sale, and it’s so cheap that even I might buy something, and I almost never buy clothes. Usually when a site claims to have 80% off that is a very, very rare occurrence, but I have found a few 80% off items, and a lot of 77% off items (which is close enough), so these guys are the real deal (and they’re affiliated with Karmaloop, so you know they’re legit). I’m going to have to keep a closer eye on PLNDR and post about them more in the future because I’m really impressed with the goods available at prices that a too hard to pass up.
This competition is open for one week from today until Monday July 11th Friday July 15th* at midnight GMT, is limited to one entry per person, and can be entered by anyone living in a country that PLNDR ship to (list here), you can enter if you don’t live in those countries, but there isn’t much point since you wouldn’t be able to buy any of the clothes. Only PLNDR signups through this special link will count as an entry to this competition. This winner will be decided by PLNDR, their decision is final.
* Competition extended due to me not being able to give the competition the attention it deserved.
