Threadless’ 10 years book

koikoikoi — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:16:40 +0000

The superfamous tee design community/brand/shop Threadless is just turned 10 years old! Wow! Happy Birthday! We have always been fans of Threadless and returning customers and we were more than pleased to receive a copy of their supercool book in honour of these 10 years. This book is more than amazing, first it’s a great source of inspiration and a great collection of amazing designs, second it’s really interesting because apart from cool t-shirts, Threadless is a great and succesfull crowdsourcing experiment and maybe the very first one really working worldwide, and the book contains the whole story, starting from that 500$ each the 2 founders placed on the table to start this business.

And last, but not least: it’s a really good editorial product. You can have more info about it here and if you can spend a little more money you don’t want to miss the even cooler deluxe version, with hard case and sketchbook!

David Fullarton’s works on paper

Rubens — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:55:58 +0000

David Fullarton‘s technique is more than mixed. It’s made by pencil, markers, pens, collage of pieces of paper coming from the most various sources. It’s illustration, art and graphic design, not easy to close it in a single box.
