Full Posts returning soon, big changes coming up on HipHipUK next year, Im current finalising my ‘07 blog plans. More to follow. Here is a roundup of whats been happening recently:
1. Three new shirts at Imaginary Foundation. As usual they are stunning but you probably wouldnt wear them, or at least I wouldnt. I’m not sure a tshirt is the best platform for their designs, theres just too much going on. I’d love some of these designs as prints though.
2. HipHipUK added to streetwear-websites but in the rather more dull Streetwear Business Section. Feel free to vote for me, I only have one site as my competition “Indie Clothing Blog“. Its a nice blog but only about five posts old, and still I’m rated 2nd out of 2. Quite an achievement I feel.
3. Suprisingly the post about Le Web and Pixelotto sent a ton of traffic this week. Thursday was HipHipUK’s record day with 800 unique visitors. Its been running for nearly 6 months now and every week theres been a new traffic record. It averages around 500 uniques a day now which is great, better than I ever expected. Thanks to everyone who stops by or sends me emails.
4. Incase you didnt realise its the big mans birthday soon so there are sales happening everywhere. Tshirt island has the best roundup here
5. If you like to keep things a little bit more low-brow Bustedtees are having a special two day free shipping promotion for today and tomorrow (18th/19th). Just enter “yessir” as the coupon code.
6. Tcritic spotted this nice little tshirt exchange community called rethreaded, full post on this later.
Tomorrow is HipHipUK’s six month birthday, happy half birthday to me, happy half birthday to me. A full review of the first six months in the t’osphere tomorrow.
[...] Imaginary Foundation: HipHipUK mentions yet more stunning work from the Swiss people who seem to operate on a level above me. Adam makes a good point though, it’s art, but would you wear it? Indie Clothing Blog: You know how long I spent thinking up ‘Hide Your Arms’? Hours, why didn’t I just call it ‘Sleeved Clothing Blog’, then you’d know what you were getting. My tongue-in-cheek bitchy comments aside, this blog is a good resources for anyone thinking of gettin in the tee printing game. [...]
I really like Imaginary Foundation, and I personally do wear a few of them: “Look to Nature,” “Metaphysical Anarchy,” and soon “Somewhere.”
“Metaphysical Anarchy” might have too much going on and be a little big, but the print and image is just so amazing! “Look to Nature” I think is neither too complicated nor too large. And I think “Somewhere” is a fantastic use of the space on a t-shirt. If you haven’t checked out the detail picture of it, you should. I’m sure it will look even better in person than on their site, as the other shirts I’ve gotten from them have. Expect a post about this shirt at Fantastic Blognanza soon.
Happy half birthday! Are you having cake?
Hi Adam, thanks for the mention on Tshirt Island, if you can update the list I just found today that Torso.com.au gives away free Tank Theory T-shirt (I’m not sure when is the due date).
nice blog you have here, I’ll add you to my blogroll link — keep the good work and happy holiday!
“Somewhere” at Imaginary Foundation…
I’ve always been very impressed by the vivid colors and absurd/surreal imagery used by Nick over at Imaginary Foundation. Their new releases are no exceptions. This time around, it’s “Somewhere” that stands out to me most. I&…
