Greetings, Threadudes and Threadettes!

We just can’t contain our excitement for our fourth volume of Comics-On Tees launching next week, so the theme of this week’s Threadspotting is... you guessed it... COMICS! This week’s sighting comes from the 2D world created by John Layman and Rob Guillory, the two brilliant men behind the infectiously graphic CHEW comic series.



Here's the character Olive Chu wearing The Madness of Mission 6 by Travis Pitts. Olive is the daughter of main character Tony Chu, an FDA agent with the psychic ability to pull information from the things (and people) he eats in order to solve crime. Believe it or not, Olive’s wardrobe is actually provided by Threadless! Flip open any issue of CHEW and you’ll find Olive wearing her favorite Threadless tees.

Also, your Xbox avatar can rock the same tee as Olive. Pick it up right here in the new Threadless section of the Avatar Marketplace!

Thanks Lisa for this unique and awesome sighting, and remember, if you spot a Threadless tee in the wild, send a note to sightings@threadless.com, and we’ll talk about them here... and we’ll give you some Street Team Points to boot!

You’ve worked tirelessly to accurately represent yourself in avatar form on your XBOX. But up until now, something just hasn’t been right.

Today, that changes. We’re proud to announce that Threadless tees are now available for XBOX avatars!

You can now don your very favorite Threadless tee both on couch and screen, finally making the line between reality and fiction obsolete.

Check out all the tees in the XBOX marketplace and suit up!

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!
