Threadless

ladykat aka Kate is a girl, has been a member since March 15, 2006, has scored 10,765 submissions, giving an average score of 1.95, helping 251 designs get printed.
UPDATE! Since it took me far too long to get a proper picture up, I've decided to extend the contest until this Friday (Oct. 17). If you missed it earlier, now's your chance!

So for the past... oh, jeez, over a year... I've been working on a quilt. (Off and on, of course.) A bunch of awesome Threadless people donated tees (see the original blog here) and I got to work!

So now I've got this quilt that's (practically) finished and you could win it!

Threadless quilt - almost done!
It's about 80" x 80" of cuddly goodness - definitely large enough for a queen-sized bed, but also lightweight enough to wrap yourself in on the couch.

I want it to go to a Threadless fan, so here's the main part:

- WRITE an original short story, essay, or poem somehow relating to Threadless tees or designs (1000 words max - though it doesn't have to be even that long!)


But to be eligible, you also need to do the following 2 things:

- SUBMIT at least one (1) ELIGIBLE ENTRY to the CALENDAR CONTEST - this entry must be taken especially for the contest (that is, since the contest was announced) and it has to meet all the criteria for the contest. And hey, if you've already submitted an original photo for the contest, you've got this one covered! You don't have to win the calendar contest to be eligible for this, you just need to enter an eligible photo or illustration.

- JOIN the Threadless Product Shots group on Flickr and upload at least one product shot. Like above, if you've already joined and submitted a photo, you're golden on this one.


To enter, email your story/essay/poem to me (ladykat81 [at] gmail [dot] com) by Monday, Oct. 13 Friday, Oct. 17 at 11:59 PST. Also let me know which picture you submitted to the calendar contest and your Flickr username. One entry per person.

The top 1/3 (33% - with a maximum of 10 total) among the stories/essays/poems (from eligible entries) will be entered into a drawing. From that drawing, one winner will be selected to receive the quilt!


Ask me if you have questions. :-)

Once a year, I judge high-school entries for newspaper graphic design. And while I enjoy helping, I often want bang my head against the table when looking at what these kids are doing.



Sooo, have fun grading! At least they are college students, right?





Will the calendar contest be announced around the same time or is that running differently?

ladykat you are making me hungry


iPear on May 06 '09 at 9:42pm
Yo, Ladykat wassssup!? you'd be in a musical movie that takes place in dystopian America, the communists have won, so now everyone always has to walk around in gray jumpsuits. But not you, you want to introduce color to the world, that's why this movie is called "Rainbowstime", your name is Reign Boh, half vietnamese, half black, half West Virginian, half vegetarian, so basically you're like the most beautiful and exotic combination of races. You discover a delicious and beautiful watermelon growing in the basement of your house, and you've never seen color like this before, and it amazes you, so you use the watermelon's water colors to paint a picture of some shit, and then you show it to your grandpa who's cool as shit, unlike your folks who are all retarded and strict, and then he tells you the glory of color, so you go on a journey to find color, abandoning your parents and your simple life as a pencil sharpener. Eventually you form a militia of color that defeats the commie armies of evil with the power of friendship and goodness and lasers.


That's right!
