One of our featured artist s4ndm4n is cranking away on his own badass vinyl cast toys which will all be hand painted. For more info you can checkout his post here. These looks pretty sweet!

We’re looking for a new label design that will be featured in all of our limited edition ‘innerCircle’ mixes that will be launching soon. I’ve posted the details on the forums if you are interested!
The innerCricle mixes will be part of some new features we are adding to the site that we are really excited about.
Please send all submissions to contest@innertee.com & let us know if you have any questions!
update – thanks Joe for helping spread the word!

Next up in the digital cardboard series is the UK based artist Jason Allsebrook, AKA New Giraffe City (site, profile, myspace). Jason uses a wicked cool hand-drawn style and currently has a handful of elements ready to mix on the site. We will be adding a few more so be sure to check back soon. Attack, one of Jason’s designs, is also featured on the current sticker set.

Was just messing around w/mixing a few hoodies on the innerTee site and thinking about how cool it is to see what people can do using art in an unintented way. My happy hoodie above is a quick example of that and we are starting to see more & more of it on the site. I’m guessing that will increase as we keep adding more art and people get more comfortable as we continue to improve the mixing tool. Cool!
Be sure to stay tuned for a big contest announcement after the holidays! We are pretty excited about it ourselves!

As part of the new design we wanted to add some real-world textures to the site so we came up with our digital cardboard series, the cardboard will be used as the header background through-out the site. Every month or so we will feature a different innerTee artist. We provide the cardboard they provide the creativity.
This month our first ever digital cardboard is showcasing the super secret stylings of Diogo Machado, aka add fuel to the fire. Diogo hails from Portugal and lucky for us has chosen to use his ‘mega-outta-dis-world powers’ for good instead of evil. All of the elements used (outside of the tape & safety pins) are available to be mixed on the innerTee site and a few will also be featured in our first limited edition sticker series (look for that to hit next week).
If you are interested in the innerTee artist program signup for an account an shoot us an email with your info.

You asked for it! We’ve added two new templates this morning – one in Illustrator format and as a pdf.
You can download them both at our submission page and read about how it al works.

We have finally settled on the ink colors we will have available day one for element submissions. I’ve updated the submission page and added downloadable templates in both eps and svg formats. Also included are the sizing guides for figuring out what size to make your elements or just to get an idea of the actual print size.
We plan on adding more colors and even some specialty inks (glitter, metallic, etc) but in the mean time let us know if you think we missed anything obvious. More to come!
Update – lovely spelling errors have been corrected so you can actually get to the templates (thanks Dan!). All those in charge of spelling have been sacked.

We’ve completely reworked our payout program for innerTee and so far the response has been really good. The new payout plan is mainly due to the great feedback, suggestions and conversations with all of the artists we’ve been working with. We’ve been trying to ensure that innerTee is easy to use and stays focused on the art & design provided by our community.
Here’s a really simple graphic showing some of the art we’ve been using to illustrate how it works:
It’s really pretty simple…
1. you submit an element/group of elements
2. they get approved and a price is set for each unique element
3. you share/promote/mix your elements as you see fit
4. when a mix is purchased you get 100% of that element price
That’s it! No tricky % of sale or any of that. We are looking at some volume incentives for our top sellers but that’s still being fine tuned. There is no limit to how many elements you can submit and no limit to how many mixes can be created with each element. The possibilities are endless and many of the artists we talk to come up with ideas that we never intended but are a perfect fit.
Thanks again to everyone who has been helping out!

Well we are inching closer to launch and its starting to get pretty interesting. Our dev crew (Nathan, Kyle & Drew) are really making some great progress, well when I’m not IM’ing them about 5000 random things. It really is pretty amazing that we are getting to the point of being able to start testing the site and start tweaking some of the concepts that we have about how its all going to work.
I think descisions like building the site on drupal are going to be key in the continual innovation of what innerTee will become and trying to stay in the open source mindframe while managing a ecommerce site will really be interesting.
I’ve also been chatting some with Tara Hunt and her Pinko Marketing crew and the concepts and ideals they are promoting really fit well with what we hope innerTee can become.
Making innerTee a true collaborative converstion with our community of designers and mixers is really the heart of what will make this thing go!

Doh, so I got smacked for not running an anti-spam plugin. Woke up this AM w/800+ comments. None of them to do with tees or art although it seems I can get a great deal on some prescription drugs.
Am trying to recover the post as well that had the submissions links but here they are again!
