I think it looks great on silver and I just had to tell everyone about it.

I love it that designs are going up for voting within 24 hours.

Long may it last! GO THREADLESS!

:o

*begins trying to think up new trends*

Just so you know.

This design is inspired by an ancient Japanese story about overcoming adversity. The crane is badly injured and he must utilise everything he has learned about balance and timing in order to pull off a fight-winning move against all the odds.

It also is inspired by the finale of The Karate Kid. I think the crane might even be wearing a bandanna.

This can be the official blog!

USA are in it, so I hope to see vociferous support and plenty of banter!

The draw for the opening group stages is about to take place.

There is some pre-tournament beef with France - France think they should be seeded instead of us. So... while it would be nice to draw France and knock them out (after they cheated Ireland!), but it would actually be a bad draw for us.

Other teams to avoid in the group draw if you're England = USA, Portugal, Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Needs moar blogs about Jebbie.

Which ones do you think would make the best art prints?

I'm trying to pick a few to start up my store with.

I'm not asking who would buy what - I appreciate most people have full walls already. Even if you don't like my designs - which one/ones do you think work best as wall art?#

Thanks :)
