pictoplasma | character design conference

// September 28th, 2006 // No Comments » // Design

Pictoplasma is coming up October 11-14th in Berlin. Pictoplasma is:

4 days jam-packed with lectures, artist presentations, animation screenings, workshops, panel discussions, shows, exhibitions, installations, revisiting friends, doodle & scribble lounges, live performances, vj battles, costume karaoke, all night parties and no sleep at all…

During the conference you can checkout the character walk a tour through more than 30 exhibitions, installations & partner events showcasing modern character design. You can also adopt a character at the PictoOrphanage in different stages of birth (one of the strangest things I’ve seen in a while, but hey, NO WAY this is some boring ol stuffy conference, that’s for sure).

To get the most up-to-date info you can checkout the Pictoplasma diary.

for the love of colour | poster contest

// September 26th, 2006 // No Comments » // Design

COLOURlovers is a community about colors. Sounds basic but the site is designed really well. They are relaunching it in November and having a pretty cool poster contest to promote the new site. The current site is pretty helpful and I really like the palettes feature allowing users to create their own custom palettes – every design geek’s dream come true!

As previously mentioned fashion.psfk is doing an interview series on the online t-shirt revolution and the third and final installment has just been posted.

T-Post (also previously mentioned) is a cool subscription based shirt co that creates t-shirts commenting on current events and world issues.

The Journal of T Shirt Culture..

// September 21st, 2006 // 3 Comments » // Fashion & Tees

Just found this via myspace – looks pretty sweet. Not sure if they ship internationally since its in Australia but for $19.50AU seems like a steal! From the site…

Creative Director/partner Eddie Zammit of Grin Creative (based in Melbourne and Sydney) has just launched a bi-annual publication based on his favorite topic of T-shirts. Anyone that knows Eddie, will understand that he is quite simply obsessed with the idea of collecting T-shirts. “I have enough T-shirts in my wardrobe to at
least wear one a day for an entire year,” he said.

If anyone knows where to get one here in the US let me know!

innerTee preview on Mashable

// September 21st, 2006 // No Comments » // General

Pete Cashmore over at Mashable has written a quick overview on innerTee and his thoughts on how we might do. Thanks Pete!

Its alive – private beta launch!

// September 12th, 2006 // No Comments » // General

Can you believe it??? Not sure I can but its true!

Really want to say thanks to Kyle, Nathan & Drew for working so hard on this. I’m pretty sure Kyle is sleeping on his keyboard at the moment. Also I don’t think we could have gotten this far without the early support of the artists that have been such a big part in helping us figure out how it was all going to work.

We still have a ton to do but this a great step for us and I’m really proud to be involved with such a great team!

Now go sign up and we might let you in!!
