I don’t know why I cover
LaFraise’s weekly releases when I don’t do the same for
Threadless or
Design By Humans, or the rest of the myriad of design competitions out there, I guess its because no one else really touches laFraise, probably because they’re still stubbornly ignoring American shoppers (the
laFraise US store isn’t current enough to carry anything from the past few months of releases). I don’t know why they’re not given the praise that they so clearly deserve by the tee world, they consistently print some fantastic designs (Black Colors, one of this weeks designs, is particularly beautiful), get lots of great, well-known artists designing for them, and their prize package certainly isn’t to be sniffed at either.

*Whilst we’re talking about competitions, here’s a reminder that you’ve less than a week to enter the Philadelphia contest to win a Threadless t-shirt and $50 gift certificate.
I know that
Threadless‘ recent sale gave you guys a great opportunity to grab some cheap tees, but who fancies picking up some free tees using a $50 gift certificate?
As I mentioned in a post yesterday, hopefully I will be moving to Philadelphia soon for an internship. I don’t really know very much about Philadelphia, other than that I’ll probably get in some kind of trouble from guys who were up to no good if I were to go and play basketball outside of school in West Philadelphia (on the plus side I would get sent to Los Angeles when my mother got scared), so I need advice from you guys about where I should go and what I should do when I make it to the city of brotherly Love.
To be in with a chance of winning, all you need to do is leave a comment on this page telling me what I should do when I get to Philadelphia. Simple, huh?
The winner of the $50 gift certificate will be judged entirely at random (using a random number generator), so even if you don’t know anything about Philadelphia you can still get in on the action. That said, if I get some really good suggestions then I’ll probably throw in another gift certificate to my favourite comment. Multiple entries do not increase your chance of winning, but feel free to comment as much as you want. I’ll keep the contest open to entries for two weeks, meaning that you’ve got until midnight on September 23rd (GMT) to get your suggestions to me.
*It appears I’ve had my wires slightly crossed, as well as the $50 gift certificate, the winner will receive Animals with Eyepatches, a design which recently won the Threadless loves Lollapalooza contest. For those of you that are unaware, Threadless Love’s… is the section of Threadless where design contests are based on a theme decided by sponsors. Threadless’ Loves… contests also have unusual prize packages beyond the usual cash and gift certificates that winners usually receive.

Remember the
LaFraise x
Popdeck competition I mentioned back in May? Well, the skate deck has been available for a while (I thought it was, but can’t find it in the
Popdeck shop at the moment), but its taken until now for the three t-shirt designs to become available.
Working from left to write in the picture, we have Afrobaby, Pop Corn, and Salaryman. Damn fine designs, each and every one.

Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction are having a bit of a spring clean, and as part of that they’re giving away six of their fine, fine hoodies. I can’t decide whether its one person that will win all six of the hoodies, or if the six get distributed amongst a few winners, but either way there are some hoodies up for grabs. The you have until the end of the month to complete your entry.
