I know this has little (pretty much nothing) to do with t-shirts but I thought it was worth a mention anyway. The Black Rock Collective (aka the Legion of Doom), who in the past have produced some incredible designs for Threadless and Design By Humans, and now they’ve put together another collaborative and multi-charactered design for Popdeck, the skateboard deck design competition. I hope I’m not shooting myself in the foot by posting this, since I’m wrestling with the prospect of paying $32 to have the $40 deck shipped to the UK, and I’m worried that it might sell out, so me promoting it shows just how much I like you guys, putting you ahead of my own selfish needs.Popdeck x Black Rock Collective Skate Deck (currently on pre-order, ships on the 22nd)

I’m really, really impressed with the winners of the competition (click through on the link at the bottom to see the rest), but I think that the grand prize winner certainly deserving their 1st place finish. In fact, the field was so strong that laFraise decided to award three extra designers with a €500 prize and a run of 250 shirts with their design on, although I don’t think any boards will be made up with the extra three designs.

One of the great things about j3concepts being the new blogger at LaFraise is that he makes some great illustrations to go with posts, just like this one that he’s done for the LaFraise x Popdeck competition. Here’s the details:

This time around the contest is with Popdeck and it will commence NOW!!!

If your design is choosen you’ll get one skateboard with your winning design, one tshirt with your design and 1500 Euros. Now, along with your loot, your winning skateboard design will be sold on Popdeck in a limited run of 20 and will be sold as a tshirt on laFraise in a limited run of 500.

Also the runner up (2nd place) will get their design custom printed on their very own skateboard (a one of a kind item).

Submit your design between May 5th - 19th to the “POPDECK” category.

If want to participate and sign up for this and you’re American, just put your country as UK for now (there’s no US option) and they’ll sort it later, as a few people were confused about that. More details can be found here.
