The more I learn about Wrongwroks the more I find that he’s actually “kind of a big deal” in Asia. At a recent toy festival in Taiwan people were queuing up two and a half hours early to be in line for a signing he was doing, and they were waiting in the rain!


They were waiting in the rain because they wanted to be among the first to get their hands on Wrongwroks latest release, a book chronicling all the releases so far, as well as showing off a few previously unseen snaps from photoshoots. The book can be purchased on its own or as part of a box set in which you will get a limited edition silkscreened box and a “Supreme Ripped Off” t-shirt. There’s only 300 of these sets available worldwide, so I guess they’ll go pretty fast judging from Wrongwroks popularity.

Remember those limited edition Threadless x Timbuk2 messengers bags that I mentioned a month ago? Well, GearCrave have got one of each design to give away.All you have to do is sign up for their newsletter here. Then leave a comment on the giveaway blog post on Gear Crave, here, telling them which bag is your favourite and why. The contest is open until 11:59 (not sure which timezone, but its probably one of the American ones) on June 26th.GearCrave Giveaway: ThreadLess and Timbuk2 Messenger Bags

Threadless x Timbuk2 pop up shop

Okay, so yesterday’s Threadless news about the prints was truly ‘threadless’ since it was paper-based, but today’s update is a least a little bit more closely related to our regular subject matter since I would presume that the limited edition Treadless Select bags by Timbuk2 are made using threads of… something (what are bags made out of?).I think that claiming to have a pop up shop within your own shop is a bit odd, but whatever, cool bags with (presumably) cool designs on them. You can look/purchase at the Threadless Chicago store from May 23rd until June 1st, and you should also be able to buy them at timbuk2.com.

GAP x Whitney Biennial 2008 artist series t-shirts

Its not exactly often I read or write about GAP, but I thought that there were some cool designs in the range, so here it is. According to HighSnobriety:

Gap worked in close partnership with the Whitney Museum of American Art and Art Production Fund to create the collection with the 13 artists, who are all previous Whitney Biennial participants. The Whitney Biennial is a special exhibition held every two years at the Whitney Museum of American Art that features the most important contemporary art in the United States. Gap is a proud sponsor of the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

Is it just me or does that read like part of a press release? I hadn’t actually heard of any of the artists (I’m no art buff), but that doesn’t stop them from being a damn fine line of t-shirts. They’re available from select GAP stores (so the ones in big cities then?), online at GAP.com, a few art museums in the US, and Colette in Paris for between $28 and $32.

Concrete Hermit x eBoy Limited Edition t-shirt

I was really excited to hear that Concrete Hermit were going to continue releasing a t-shirt to go with their exhibitions when I found out that eBoy was coming to town.I’m in the middle of cooking dinner so here’s an excerpt of the press release to give you the details:

To coincide with the launch of eBoy’s current exhibition Concrete Hermit have produced a special limited edition of 100 T-shirts. Hand screen-printed in London these t-shirts show a detail from eBoy’s colour rich panoramic cityscape of Los Angeles. A series of prints and other products including a unique pure wool blanket have also been produced to mark the occasion and will be available exclusively from Concrete Hermit. The exhibition runs from 9th May - 30th June. Concrete Hermit Gallery, 5a Club Row, London, E1 6JX. Open 10am – 6pm Tuesday-Sunday.

CH also have a pretty wide range of eBoy’s city prints for £12, and a very limited edition (just 10 available) blanket for £180.

My love of Space Invaders (mostly in its mosaic street-art form) is hardly a secret, I think its pretty amazing that there is a game out there that’s still popular, despite being older than I am, as Space Invaders is 30 years old, and 55DSL are celebrating this by releasing a t-shirt based upon the enduring arcade-classic.

It’s a very limited edition tee, seeing as it is only going to be on sale at a few retail locations around the world (list available on the 55DSL site), but the tee is being launched at the 55DSL store in New York tonight (April 30th) between 7pm and 9pm. Yup, that is pretty damned limited. I’ve attached the flyer for the event (beer is mentioned, not sure if its free or not!) as a thumbnail so that you can get the details if you’re interested, because I think you might need to RSVP. A game has been commissioned just for this event as well, which I’ve embedded below. Bizarrely, the game is not based on the original game, but does use the official characters.


The tee itself is pretty cool, a kind of ASCII take on the 55DSL logo made up of a typical scene from the game. No word on price, but its probably fair to assume that this won’t be going for $10.
