A little while back, an extremely friendly and brilliant website called “Threadless” contacted us with a collaboration proposal. As you might know,
Threadless.com is a vibrant online community based on original graphic t-shirt designs – and one of the world’s premiere destinations for these slamming ink-on-cotton wearable masterpieces! Much like Lomography, the creative spark and soul comes from their hyper-active and far-flung community members, who labor day and night to produce the most unexpected and exciting work possible. Sounds familiar, right? We thought so too, and saw an excellent opportunity to cooperate on an amazing online challenge.
Ladies and Gentlemen – you are hereby called to put your design skills to the test! Using the “10 Golden Rules of Lomography” as a theme – we’re calling upon everyone & their brother to create the most devastating t-shirt possible. From all the submissions, ONE design will be chosen. This designer will receive a HUGE assortment of treasures (see the juicy details below)AND have their design printed in large yet limited run for immediate purchase by the Lomography & Threadless communities.
