Tim and Eric fans, have we got the tee for you. The hilarious TV duo approached us with the idea to print this tee, and we just couldn’t say no. It was created by the designer of their movie poster, Duke Aber. Here’s what he had to say about the tee:

Here’s the video homage we created to both the tee and the classic Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen spoof video.

You guys really showed up for the 24 hour voting challenge. Within one day, two million scores came in! Nice work.

We put all the names of people who scored 240 designs or more within the 24 hour period into our randomizing randomization machine and pulled out one lucky design-scorer who scored the loot. The $240 in Threadless cash went to Daniel Newman!

We asked Daniel, a long time Threadless member, what his favorite Threadless design ever is:
Three Cat Moon is epic, but I would have to go Red by Kneil Melicano.

Congrats Daniel! And thanks to everyone who scores designs! You help make Threadless what it is!]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:18:09 -0600

This past fall, we received a whopping 1,040 submissions to Threadless Loves Your Favorite Tee for the chance at $10,000. Today the chosen design has been released!

Impasse was created by a group of designers who go by the name Verso. We asked them a few questions about their design, what’s up next for them, and what advice they have for other designers.

What inspired this design?
We like movies a lot and we use these references every time in our illustrations. In this scene, we wanted to do the most tense scene ever, a mighty duel where "none shall pass"!

What advice would you give to new designers to Threadless?
Be original, try hard, practice hard, embrace failure and learn fearless from your mistakes!

What are you guys doing with your cash?
We didn't put much thought yet, but we intend to invest it in our studio and future projects. And buy a spacecraft.

What's next in your design future?
Our goal is to create badass designs and amaze people!

Get your Impasse tee here! And check out the amazing process video. Congrats to Verso!]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:03:47 -0600

Over the new year, Threadless Alumni Richard Fulop from Hungary took it upon himself to make Threadless life just a little more sweet. On his own time, he created Threadbox, a photo-hosting site for images you want to embed in the Threadless Forum.

Threadbox works exclusively for posts on Threadless and eliminates the need to post your photos to other photo sharing sites before embedding them in your blogs and comments.

We asked Richard how he became such an active Threadless blogger:

I have to admit that I started blogging at Threadless only because I wanted to get more votes, and some 'followers', but as soon as I tasted how it really feels like to be the part of the community I just got addicted, and since then I check the blogs almost everyday. I'm part of a few more communities around the internets, but this one is far the best. As an artist I don't get much appreciation from my friends and family, of course they say, "Oh that’s nice" and other meaningless stuff like that, but here in the community the guys don't just appreciate my work, they even tell their honest opinions, help make me and my designs become better. And don't forget about those meaningless blogs which have those funny comments. I love them the most.

Thanks Richard for being an example of why the Threadless community rocks!
